Masquerade Part one. Something, something we'll find. Mask for masks.

SPEAKER_06 0:59

So I don't know. Have we talked about Caladeus being at the party that much?

SPEAKER_03 1:02

No. No. She doesn't deserve that attention.

unknown 1:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 1:05

That was crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:06

We hate that she's here. I mean, we love that we're gonna be able to do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:08

We're purposefully avoiding her.

SPEAKER_06 1:10

Yeah. There was there was a good amount, I feel like, of purposeful avoidance, especially in the first half of the episode of just like she's there somewhere we are not seeking her.

SPEAKER_05 1:18

Yeah, I'm gonna go dance. I turned around.

SPEAKER_06 1:21

You turned your back.

SPEAKER_08 1:23

We were actively trying to avoid her. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 1:26

But then you not have to be.

SPEAKER_02 1:28

Then we won the dance competition. Then you won the dance competition.

SPEAKER_08 1:30

I still don't know who told them our names, but you when you met her. No, no, no. Who is dancing?

SPEAKER_06 1:37

What?

SPEAKER_03 1:38

When we told the herald, the herald has a list of who's dancing.

SPEAKER_06 1:41

I was gonna say we were announced. That's true. You were announced. You also know a number of people at the party who are like the hosts.

SPEAKER_02 1:49

Fair enough.

SPEAKER_06 1:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:50

We were known. It's alright. You were known.

SPEAKER_03 1:52

You are and you are like a six-foot-tall man wearing a just shiny gold dress dancing around. You're pretty noticeable, I think. You probably look hard.

SPEAKER_08 2:03

I wanted to be I wanted to be I wanted to be incognito. It's okay. So you wore a form fitting gold chain dress. Your light shin it's in season, okay? There's lots of people wearing this.

SPEAKER_05 2:15

Your light shines too brightly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 2:17

That's fair. I was too good at dancing.

SPEAKER_03 2:19

You literally light up the room.

SPEAKER_08 2:21

I wish Matt had that problem.

SPEAKER_06 2:22

Oh, he does. I always notice you.

SPEAKER_03 2:26

I always notice you.

SPEAKER_08 2:28

Big, but not because I'm so good at dancing. Oh my god. Not because I'm good at dancing. I wish I was good at dancing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 2:37

Yeah. I wish I could dunk.

SPEAKER_08 2:40

Same. Me too. Okay, we're just listing things that Matt wants.

SPEAKER_06 2:43

I wish Matt and Chloe could dunk. I always think that.

SPEAKER_03 2:47

I wish Matt and Chloe could dunk. I wish Matt and Chloe could dunk.

unknown 2:50

Oh my God.

SPEAKER_08 2:50

You could probably dunk if you got on my shoulders. So honestly, that's the that's the like technically the monkey paw is you and I fuse into one person.

SPEAKER_05 2:59

No, I think you switch bodies and then you still can't dunk, but you're just in this different body.

SPEAKER_06 3:04

That's not even a monkey's paw.

SPEAKER_03 3:05

No, if I had if I had that height, I would take the initiative to learn how to dunk.

SPEAKER_08 3:10

And that's how that's what I've been saying to myself. But it turns out I just don't have the ups.

SPEAKER_06 3:15

I don't I do think that's that's kind of globally true. I think that if you put short people in tall people's bodies, I think that all the tall people's lives would get better. You know what I mean? Like the short people. And they would live longer. Yeah, they've got the they've got the scurrying energy about them. They would really strive for what they want. Um that's a belief I have. Um and I'm actually GoFundMe for it right now. I've got a machine.

SPEAKER_05 3:38

In in that world, do that and all the tall people be made short.

SPEAKER_06 3:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

And then that's just insufferable. Because I have tall person energy, but in a short body.

SPEAKER_03 3:47

But but there's they're the ones who will live longer.

SPEAKER_05 3:49

Oh wait, no, I thought you were saying the opposite.

SPEAKER_08 3:51

There is a leg lengthening surgery that I've seen on Instagram multiple times, which is like terrible purely for cosmetics, right? And they people just like can't walk for like a year.

SPEAKER_03 4:01

Yeah, yeah. Or longer.

SPEAKER_08 4:02

Yeah, it's insane.

SPEAKER_03 4:03

And then their legs look fucked up.

SPEAKER_06 4:05

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:07

Um anyway, uh, this episode is brought to you by uh George Costanda's leg lengthening. George Costanda's the only name I could think of.

SPEAKER_06 4:16

Yeah, the guy from Seinfeld. And he is short. He is short, he could use it. Jason Alexander.

SPEAKER_03 4:20

He could use it. If you're listening to it Hey Jason, get yourself some leg lengtheners, huh?

SPEAKER_06 4:25

Whoa. Yeah. Oh boy. And don't get them all lengthened in one place.

SPEAKER_03 4:29

I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander. Aggressive.

SPEAKER_06 4:32

We respect your work. You were in Merrily, we roll along.

SPEAKER_05 4:34

I really liked you in Cinderella. Oh, he was in Cinderella.

SPEAKER_06 4:37

Yes, he was. I really liked you in Shallow Hal. He's in Shallow How.

SPEAKER_02 4:40

I think so.

SPEAKER_03 4:41

I didn't like you in Pretty Woman, but that's a testament to your acting.

SPEAKER_02 4:44

I think he was also in Bye bye Birdie. Did I make that up?

SPEAKER_03 4:47

I think he was.

SPEAKER_02 4:48

I think he was. I think he was the main character.

SPEAKER_06 4:50

He's a talented little guy.

SPEAKER_03 4:52

You elevated Seinfeld. You really did.

SPEAKER_02 4:53

And he did.

SPEAKER_08 4:54

We were talking about Shallow Hal earlier.

SPEAKER_06 4:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 4:57

Anyway, what's this about?

SPEAKER_02 5:00

So we're at the bar, right?

SPEAKER_06 5:02

You're at the party. You're at the bar. You guys split up. You all attended to your little tasks. I think it's really fun that you guys split up because then everyone gets to pursue their own thing. Um I I really like I like alone time.

SPEAKER_03 5:13

Yeah, me too.

SPEAKER_06 5:13

Yeah. I think Lucy, uh, talk talk us through your we'll go, we'll go around. We'll talk about everyone's uh kind of story this episode.

SPEAKER_05 5:22

Well, when you were talking about the the necklace, having to get the necklace off of um Senna for the office, that sounded like such a fun project that I was like, got it, I'll do that.

SPEAKER_00 5:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:32

Um and then it I went home and I thought about it, but I didn't know how. But I told everyone on the podcast that I had a plan.

SPEAKER_00 5:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:38

Which was a lie.

SPEAKER_08 5:39

Cool.

SPEAKER_05 5:39

But I and I said that and you were like, no, no.

SPEAKER_08 5:42

Well we we also said, okay, Sarah, what's your plan? And you go, I'm not telling.

SPEAKER_03 5:47

No, and one time I asked and you said, I don't know, but I'll tell I'll know it when I'm there. Yes.

SPEAKER_05 5:52

That was the first time. The first time was a lie. I said I had a plan. And then I told the truth and I said, I don't know actually, but I'll know when I'm there.

SPEAKER_00 5:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 6:00

And then since then I thought of a plan.

SPEAKER_00 6:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 6:03

But I didn't want to tell you because it would be more fun. Yes, for everyone. One and you want everyone to poke holes in it. But two, it's it's more fun on a you know, comedy podcast.

SPEAKER_06 6:12

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_05 6:13

An improv podcast. Two. I still didn't want to like script it out too much because I'm we're not mad at you for not telling us.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

No, yeah. A little bit. It was the right no, it was absolutely the right move to not tell anyone because then everyone went to the wheel. What wouldn't we have done?

SPEAKER_05 6:25

That's true.

SPEAKER_02 6:26

Let's talk about the plan.

SPEAKER_05 6:27

But then so anyway, so my so I thought that they might have had children. And so my initial plan was to threaten the children.

SPEAKER_06 6:35

Threaten the children. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_05 6:37

But not not for real, but to create to make them think that their kids were in danger. Because I was like, that will that's like the most important thing to them, so I'll get the kids running.

SPEAKER_06 6:46

Yeah, absolutely. But then I like that Lucy's first step is threatening children.

SPEAKER_05 6:50

Exploit the familial relationships.

SPEAKER_06 6:53

Yeah, absolutely. That's in character, too.

SPEAKER_05 6:55

Exactly. Um, but then they didn't have kids, but then I was like, oh, perfect, I'll just pivot to what are you looking at, Matt?

SPEAKER_03 7:01

Um just something private. Yeah. Jason Alexander movies.

SPEAKER_05 7:09

It's just it was distracting. I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_08 7:11

I'm in. I'm locked in.

SPEAKER_05 7:12

Um but then uh yeah, so then I but but I ended up having a fantastic conversation with Kedra, and turns out that she is a fun character at like And secretly lower class. And secretly lower cap class, and like saying that like the the they're like they were they're so in love that each other are their most important relationships. I was like, okay, that's fine, I'll just use her instead.

SPEAKER_06 7:33

Yeah. Um and you did, you use her well, like when you were like, I'm gonna stick with you. I was like, what the fuck are you planning?

SPEAKER_05 7:38

Yeah, so I wasn't sure yet at that point exactly how that was gonna end or or when it would end. Um and then yeah, so then I was like, okay, I'll take her into an or I was like, should I tie her up maybe? Should I knock her out? Yeah, my one of my well, that might come this episode actually. Oh god. Because I'm not done. I don't look at that necklace.

SPEAKER_00 7:57

So scary, this poor woman. So scary.

SPEAKER_03 7:59

Um you also rolled a natural 20 to come to persuade her to hang out. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 8:06

Right now you're her best friend at the party.

SPEAKER_05 8:08

See, this is excellent because I also I feel like it's that's a fun um anytime Lucy is like trying to is like pretending to be somebody else, kind of, is really fun for me. Yeah. So I I have been enjoying um that. And then yeah, it was very satisfying to go behind her and on the head, um, and then like to do one of to do a little subterfuge there.

SPEAKER_06 8:30

Yeah, that was that was it was a really fun plan that did not work.

SPEAKER_05 8:33

So close though, but it was so risky.

SPEAKER_06 8:36

Yeah, so risky. But those are the best plans. Like the best plans are the ones that like if they go south, the session is fucked.

SPEAKER_05 8:45

I also right. I also wanted it to be like like you said, like if it goes south, if I and at one point I was like, if they think that that someone's attacking the wife at the party, that might completely change the party. But like, that's the kind of moves you want to make, are these like really big ones that have a lot of you know recompense.

SPEAKER_03 9:04

Yeah, you sound like you're on Survivor.

SPEAKER_06 9:06

Yes. Oh, yeah, you're talking you're talking about your what is it, jury resume? You're so good.

SPEAKER_03 9:10

Yeah, your game, your game plan.

SPEAKER_06 9:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 9:12

You made I made a bunch of big moves. Sometimes they didn't all work out, but I took some big big swings.

SPEAKER_06 9:18

Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. You're a gamer. You are a gamer. You are a gamer.

SPEAKER_05 9:22

I'm a I'm a uh like a an in-person gamer, a real life gamer. I'm a blood on the clock tower gamer. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 9:28

I feel like you would fuck up big brother.

SPEAKER_05 9:30

Oh, yeah. You know what? If I if I had had coffee that morning and was well rested and uh felt like people liked me, yeah, I think I would do really well.

SPEAKER_06 9:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 9:43

If I was feeling shy and uncomfortable, I probably wouldn't talk. Yeah. And then I would be bad at it and have a hard time lying.

SPEAKER_06 9:48

But if I felt like the Dabella Deball, then I would if you felt like Dabella Deball, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 9:53

SPEAKER_08 10:58

We did. I felt like it was really nice and it was it was like uh character growth for us to not that not that Rex and Janice are like at each other's throats right now, but like um it was nice.

SPEAKER_02 11:11

It was just I enjoyed dancing with it was just continual friendship, and we were dance partners. I mean, we were initially planning to go find Rex a dance partner, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 11:21

Yeah, and that did get edited out. That got edited out, right, Chloe?

SPEAKER_00 11:25

I mean, I haven't done it yet, but yeah, it's gonna be edited out.

SPEAKER_02 11:28

But well what happen what had happened was is we were initially planning, let's go to the bar to get dates, and we ran into Rattley and like got a little distracted and ended up in that drinking competition.

SPEAKER_08 11:38

Yeah, and we and we learned that Ratley. Oh, yeah, we have to talk about that. But we did learn that Rattley is not in in really in cahoots with Senna, right, but more so going to try to exploit the information that he has found to try to get money for the guild of um what's the word? Merchants guess. Merchants, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 12:04

I was gonna say Mark He's not a good guy, but he's not evil. Yeah, he's out for his own gain.

SPEAKER_08 12:09

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so yeah, so we we learned valuable information there so that he's not he's not one of the big bads.

SPEAKER_05 12:16

You also convinced him of his like to change his vote.

SPEAKER_06 12:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 12:20

Yeah, we got a lot of votes, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:21

Yeah, you guys currently have three votes possibly in your favor if everything goes according to plan.

SPEAKER_08 12:26

Yeah. Um, but yeah, the drinking game was was insane.

SPEAKER_05 12:31

That was crazy because everyone else had fine drinks, and then I, who didn't actually have to play.

SPEAKER_06 12:36

Yeah, Sarah was like, I'm so glad I'm not over there because I don't want to do this. And then everyone was fine with their drinks, and Sarah was like, I guess I'll try one.

SPEAKER_05 12:43

Yeah, gross. The gross, so disgusting. Curdled milk. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 12:49

Yeah. I uh I I got uh home and I was telling my girlfriend about what happened, and she was like, Why didn't you just use like pickle juice? Yeah, that's just exactly what we saw. Same thing you guys said, and you're right, you're just right. I trusted that flavors would be bad enough. Oh, yeah. But they turned out to be perfectly fine.

SPEAKER_03 13:11

You underestimated the power of sugar. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 13:13

Yeah, it turns out if you put two sweet things together, it's just gonna remain sweet.

SPEAKER_05 13:17

It's like putting all of the Skittles in your mouth at the same time.

SPEAKER_06 13:19

Yeah, I was like, that's disgusting. Because, like for me, if that happened to me, I would be like, get it out of my mouth. I hate this.

SPEAKER_05 13:27

But even your mixed drink, you were fine with.

SPEAKER_06 13:29

I was fine with, yeah. No, it it it it it is an egg on my face, tiny L for me.

SPEAKER_05 13:35

No, but like a little, just like a little fun L. Just a little bit of an egg. Like a quail's egg, maybe.

SPEAKER_06 13:40

Oh, yes, a quail's egg on my face. Yeah. Would I were so lucky?

SPEAKER_05 13:43

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 13:44

Classy.

SPEAKER_08 13:44

But it also, um, when you can see what the what the thing is, for mine, it was just like looked like chocolate milk. Yeah. Like a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 13:54

I wanted to drink it. I actively wanted to drink that one because I thought it was chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_08 13:58

But like for Chloe, for yours, it was like gunk on the top of it. Cinnamon is the worst part.

SPEAKER_02 14:04

With any of the gunk, I was like, as long as I don't have gunk, I'm fine.

SPEAKER_03 14:07

With any of the gunk, I just figured it was like I don't know. I think I thought I think I I thought it was like a a pixie stick or something.

SPEAKER_08 14:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 14:15

Yeah. It should and it should have been.

SPEAKER_08 14:18

It did look like there was just a one nerds cluster on top of. Yeah. And then it exploded.

SPEAKER_03 14:23

It was thick. I put my finger in it. It was kind of like throwback to the cat in the hat movie. It was like the purple goop that comes out of that machine. Yeah. It's in the cross world. Yeah, it looked like a blood clot.

SPEAKER_08 14:36

Yours did did it did explode. It did explode. Oh, I did shake it.

SPEAKER_03 14:40

I shook yours. Yeah. Um, which in hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have, but I wanted to get rid of the sediment.

SPEAKER_02 14:45

Yeah. I mean, milk and soda is gross. I disagree with people who like root beer floats.

SPEAKER_03 14:50

I disagree with root roots.

SPEAKER_08 14:51

Oh, I forgot that that's like actually a good flavor, too. I'm not a big float guy.

SPEAKER_06 14:55

Give me a milkshake any day.

SPEAKER_02 14:56

Yeah, give me a milkshake over a float. I understand it. It's too sweet for it.

SPEAKER_06 14:59

I like a root beer float, but I I thought I was of the opinion I was like, oh, there's no way milk and soda will be anyway palatable. Egg cream. I drink egg creams constantly. You give you my.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

We're in New York.

SPEAKER_06 15:16

The other day I ordered uh egg cream at a at a restaurant, and I ordered a strawberry egg cream, and the guy brought out chocolate, and I was out to dinner with a friend, and I was like, Oh, thank you. And the friend was like, I'm sorry. He ordered strawberry, and I was like, Oh my god.

SPEAKER_08 15:30

I'm sorry, you're getting an egg cream at night? Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 15:33

What is an egg cream? To go with your strawberry. Like chocolate milk and soda water, I think.

SPEAKER_06 15:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 15:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 15:38

It was good.

SPEAKER_03 15:39

It's like a New York classic. Yeah, it's a good thing. I've never had this. But why do they call it an egg cream? I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 15:44

Catus Deli has them. I think they're really good.

SPEAKER_06 15:48

Yeah. Really any like delegate.

SPEAKER_05 15:50

So strawberry milk and soda water? I think it's traditionally chocolate milk.

SPEAKER_06 15:53

Yeah. Well, there's strawberry milk, chocolate milk, regular milk. Or with vanilla syrup.

SPEAKER_08 15:59

It tastes like a watered-down milkshake in like the nicest way possible. It tastes like a zatty milkshake.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

But then it used to have egg in it. Like I assume maybe they used to put egg in it because it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_08 16:08

It's like a like an eggnogy thing. Um but Spencer, I was gonna say, you give such big malt energy. Yeah. Like you're gonna go get a malt somewhere.

SPEAKER_03 16:17

Spencer would fuck up a soda shop.

SPEAKER_08 16:19

Let's just be honest.

SPEAKER_06 16:20

Oh yeah. If I lived in Archie Comics, I would be the happiest man in the world.

SPEAKER_08 16:23

I think there's one in Cobble Hill.

SPEAKER_06 16:25

Archie Comics?

SPEAKER_08 16:26

No, yeah, Archie Comics. Wow. No, there's one. There's like there's like an old-fashioned soda shop.

SPEAKER_02 16:52

So we all had delightful, we all had egg creams, and it was delicious.

SPEAKER_06 16:54

You all essentially had egg creams, and I was like, this, I'm not gonna make you roll to win this encounter because I just so bad got wombed in real life. Um it was fun though. It was very fun. I'm glad you guys liked that. I I came in before the session with a mysterious bag, and I was like, Shane, do you have vessels for drinks? Um I attended to my dark business. My tintures.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

Um I usually try to make cute little alcoholic potions in those. You've done that before.

SPEAKER_08 17:26

I think our first ever one shot that people.

SPEAKER_06 17:29

Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I knew I could exploit them.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

SPEAKER_08 18:09

Shock rock like hero. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 18:11

Uh so okay, also the thing about the the bunny thing that like it was very Alice in Wonderland, I feel like. Yeah. Her name would be Alice, and for her to be dressed as a bunny.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

I thought that too in the moment. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:21

Shane, after the session, said something about the her wearing a bunny mask that I think would be cool if he said again. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_08 18:27

I was waiting with you. Can we get Chloe? I want to get your thoughts before we like explicate this.

SPEAKER_03 18:34

Chloe, the initial reactions. The initial reactions was meeting meeting Alice. Because Spencer has asked me before, Ellen, would Patch ever want like a girlfriend?

SPEAKER_06 18:47

Is that your impression of me?

SPEAKER_03 18:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 18:48

Um spot on.

SPEAKER_03 18:51

And I think I don't know, it's Errant, but you know, Patch's Patch doesn't really care about that, but like if he met he she would have to be like his perfect match. So upon running into a person who was very immediate, there was some sort of like vibe vibe. After Patch vibe with that because Patch is a narcissist.

SPEAKER_06 19:15

Well, it's because he's let's break it down.

SPEAKER_03 19:18

I mean, I think he means someone as socially inept as him. Totally. Um but he caught a full wipe. Um, so Chloe the performer was thinking, okay, you know. Yeah. Chloe the performer is of course thinking like all the bad things that this could be.

SPEAKER_06 19:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 19:35

Um, but I don't think Patch really Patch was too in a different way. Patch was too, but Patch was also kind of, I think, oblivious at first as to what was going on. I think it was surprising for him. He went and conferred with his boys. Um and Lucy, like in a quick Well, I was I was listening to it, and it was kind of sad because he tried to talk to Lucy. I know. And then, but she was talking to her new friend.

SPEAKER_06 20:04

Um Lucy leaves the party to hang out with Cadra.

SPEAKER_05 20:07

I mean, she's really cool.

SPEAKER_03 20:08

I like her a lot. Have good chat. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was just it was definitely suspicious how well it was going. Um yeah, I don't think I don't know what Patch was expecting.

SPEAKER_00 20:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

Um But I I think Patch's biggest. I think Patch Patch's biggest fear was that it was like someone from the bank. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 20:31

He was like, this is gonna be, you know, yeah, a collection bank. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:36

Um but yeah, I don't think I Chloe was, I told you, was thinking like, oh, I think this is gonna be like Calidaeus' daughter, like some like, you know, unbound plague person. Um and all the rest of us, y'all are freaking out, you know, and I was like, oh, I know what they think, but let's let's keep going. Yeah you know, it's probably you know, it's not I I knew it wouldn't be fun. The reel wouldn't be as impactful if I let myself go down that train of thought. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 21:06

I like, I like, I like how it happened, and I like I am so excited that you started the episode by being like, yeah, I dressed as a rabbit as a kid.

SPEAKER_03 21:15

Yeah, it was a total coincidence.

SPEAKER_06 21:17

Absolute coincidence. It was so exciting.

SPEAKER_03 21:20

Yeah. And uh now Shane can say his thoughts.

SPEAKER_02 21:24

Oh my gosh, so Phoenix, Bunny. So uh Phoenix spent the whole time being like being like, oh Patch, you interest me, and uh we're we're so similar. And Patch was like, nah. Um and then Patch, when he first met Phoenix, um what we now know to believe is Phoenix, was that Patch freed this bunny uh an astral bunny an astral bunny uh that Phoenix was dressed as at the party and also Patch's answer for like what do you want? Basically was freedom. Which just kind of Which is what Patch gave the bunny. Which is what Patch gave the bunny because Patch freed the bunny.

SPEAKER_05 22:07

Because the bunny was in a trap.

SPEAKER_02 22:10

And so it's very beautiful. And I hope I've also been watching a lot of One Piece because the new episode started dropping. Which the whole thing is the whole thing is about freedom and liberation. So I've also just been thinking like Patch could become a pirate. Pirate Patch. Maybe Patch will enter his pirate era.

SPEAKER_03 22:27

Yeah, I think Patch was thinking about financial freedom. Yes. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 22:31

That's it. We knew exactly what you were talking about. But the fact that like it was it mirrored what you gave the bunny in the beginning. Yes. It was just so interesting. So cool.

SPEAKER_03 22:40

It was very cool. It was very, I was very sad. Like I was sad for Patch. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 22:45

I felt so bad. I felt like after going into the session, I was talking to Olivia and I was like, I'm worried that I'm gonna be too mean to Patch.

SPEAKER_03 22:54

Oh well, like as an actor, it was like, ooh, juicy. Yes. You know, so it was fun to be able to chew into that and to have the nice conversation with Lucy that I thought was really sweet.

SPEAKER_06 23:04

That was really sweet.

SPEAKER_03 23:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 23:05

I think there's a little bit of uh like oh, I I it was nice when we had the same ch the same god as our uh that we're champions of. So I was like, oh okay, well it's different, which is fine and good, but it's you know, yeah, well, yeah, Patch definitely feels more alone now.

SPEAKER_08 23:20

Yeah, yeah. That's so interesting. Yeah, I mean, this has been like a pet theory ever since Phoenix came on the scene. Like, then I've been very anti Oh yeah, we've been we were like looking at each other going, Phoenix. Yeah, and it's like what yeah, and I mean I think I mean I said this, but I think as a as a listener, as someone who um like is a fan of this podcast, like I think having uh Phoenix and Patch Patch's relationship is so narratively interesting to me. So I'm I'm excited about that. Fatch.

SPEAKER_00 23:51

Fatch is Penax right there.

SPEAKER_03 23:58

Yeah, I yeah, I've been very anti-the Phoenix theory. Oh sorry. No, I mean, you know, I think uh as a fun, like, not like I don't want that to happen, but as like a no, it's not that.

SPEAKER_05 24:12

I know we need like a like a safe word or a code word for something that like in character we don't like, but as a performer we do like. Yeah. So we can be like, Spencer, oh you like we hate you, but yeah, but but pineapple.

SPEAKER_06 24:25

Because I mean in like a in like a yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_05 24:30

I don't like this choice narratively for the code. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.

SPEAKER_03 24:33

I feel like as like Patch's like mommy, I'm like, oh, I want him, I just want him to be like a good little boy, you know. Like, no, he's not a trickster. Yes, but as you know, it's like someone who's engaged in the story. I'm like, yes.

SPEAKER_06 24:45

I think I think so much of Patch's deal is like he's not a trickster for trickery. Like he's not like he's not just like causing shit to cause shit. Like he's not like an agent of chaos, but he is a guy who will like he'll lie to get what he needs.

SPEAKER_03 24:58

Like and he You know, he he tricks himself. He tricks himself.

SPEAKER_06 25:02

Like that's the main thing with Patch. Yeah, and that's something that uh like I almost said is Alice, but didn't want to like give away who she was yet, was like you lie to yourself so much.

SPEAKER_05 25:16

Um Yeah, I think Patch is so uh tightly bound like to himself, like he he's trying really hard to um be a good person and like walk the path that like throwing chaos into that is really satisfying to see him have to deal with someone who like is not that self-contained or that um self-restrained is very satisfying.

SPEAKER_03 25:39

Yeah, it's you know, like Rex turning into a tree or you know Janus', you know, anything else.

SPEAKER_02 25:45

Like I feel like this is Patch's thing to be like Yeah, I mean I'm excited to see the growth in how Phoenix being in match the tree or in Rex's tree. A little bit chaotic.

SPEAKER_03 25:55

Yeah, I'm I'm ready for Rex's tree to grow.

SPEAKER_05 25:59

Like, oh wait, what time of year is it? Oh, fall. Okay.

SPEAKER_06 26:04

I am pineapple. I think I I'm excited because like I've known that I was gonna pull the Phoenix card for like a while. How long? I think since Patch got his ability at the very beginning.

SPEAKER_02 26:24

So since since episode like three or four?

SPEAKER_06 26:26

Yeah, I was like you knew the bunny was Phoenix all along. I I didn't know the bunny was Phoenix, but I did know that like Patches, like whoever got that patron would be because like any of you could have gotten that one. Like if Rex had gotten that one, it would have been Eerowas. But like Okay.

SPEAKER_05 26:41

Um But you knew that Phoenix was gonna be Patches. Or Mogus. Or Mogus. Or Mogus. Yeah. Well yeah.

SPEAKER_06 26:49

Um, but like I knew that Phoenix was gonna be Patches, but I was like, I don't Phoenix is the god of deception. I want it, I don't want him to just be like, by the way, I'm your patron. Yes. Um at which point I think now we can kind of safely all assume like I'm gonna need you to do something for me.

SPEAKER_03 27:05

Like, you know, there's I'm not assuming I'm not Patch is still like it could be anything.

SPEAKER_02 27:10

Right, but those of us at the table right now, uh, which does not include Patch or Yeah, we know.

SPEAKER_06 27:16

I was I was really anxious to like I I wanted Phoenix to like lie to you about who he was. Um but after like that time that like it that it was him pretending to be clothed. Yeah um Wait, what? Right?

SPEAKER_03 27:34

Oh I figured too. Yeah. In the vision, yes. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_08 27:40

Um I didn't I didn't I I forgot about the vision, but I was like Did he tell me that? Uh he didn't tell you that I'm just that this is new info.

SPEAKER_06 27:47

Maybe I shouldn't have said that.

SPEAKER_05 27:48

No, I assumed that too, because like that makes sense that he wouldn't have appeared as himself.

SPEAKER_02 27:54

I think if you I think the next time I would have or anyone would have brought up the vision, it would have clicked.

SPEAKER_06 27:58

Yeah. Yeah. I did think about that. I I think and we'll probably try to say that in an episode here.

SPEAKER_03 28:03

Yeah, I'll I'll bring that up because I didn't even think about that.

SPEAKER_06 28:05

Uh but I think I think like I didn't want it to be a thing where like Patch and Lucy have such similar deals or like have the same like where it's like the party is weighted towards one god. Right. Um I kind of like it that like everyone has their own thing they're dealing with.

SPEAKER_05 28:23

Totally.

SPEAKER_06 28:24

I think that makes sense. I too.

SPEAKER_08 28:25

I too like that.

SPEAKER_05 28:26

I also think that's so fun that we're like, you know, four friends that found each other and are like we all have we're all gonna be champions of gods. Like, come on. Are we all the coolest people?

SPEAKER_08 28:38

Can I can I say that's so cool. It's also very fun that um we've had other people that have come into the story who are also like you know, the chosen ones, like Cersei, like Midas.

SPEAKER_06 28:51

Oh yeah, Midas.

SPEAKER_08 28:52

I forgot about Midas Callius, but then Calidaeus, I was gonna say uh confused by Calidaeus. I am also confused by Caladeus.

SPEAKER_04 29:00

It could be makeup scars on her arm, it could be lies with makeup, like it could be a tattoo.

SPEAKER_06 29:06

Yeah, minor illusion. Uh I let's let's talk a little bit about Callidaeus and Midas. Some uh two people at the party. I hate Midas, but I also love Midas a lot.

SPEAKER_02 29:16

I love Midas.

SPEAKER_03 29:17

Fuck Mary, Kill Midas, and Caladeus, uh Mary and uh Alice or uh um uh anyway, kill Benna. Kill Caladeus three times.

SPEAKER_06 29:29

Yeah, okay, kill Caladeus three times. Mary Midas. I was so excited. I was like, I hope Shane likes his rival being him but different.

SPEAKER_02 29:39

I love it. I think I mean that's that's kind of how I set her up. I was like, and so I was like, yes. Uh they're both they're both competitive, they both uh have very similar goals, and then they uh through that sort of like find conflict through like trying like if they both want to be number one, they can't both be number one.

SPEAKER_00 29:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:57

Uh so I think Janice definitely has a um a respect, a love, and a hate for Midas all at the same time.

SPEAKER_00 30:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:06

Um of like there's a jealousy, but there's also like a rivalry, but there's also like they you know spent a lot of time together in high school because they had so many of the same pursuits. There is an underlying friendship. Yeah, and I think they also love to hate each other. So um it's a very fun dynamic to have to just like play with, to be like, I can say something nice and that's in character, I can say something mean and that's in character. Yeah, like it's there's just such a big playground with Midas.

SPEAKER_06 30:30

Yeah, I'm I'm ex I'm excited about her. I don't know if she'll be relevant out after this party, but she might, and I these are fun character.

SPEAKER_02 30:39

You made her you made her an Oracle, so uh she could come back if that god ever comes up again.

SPEAKER_05 30:44

Yeah, that conversation was very fun about like her relationship with her god versus his relationship with her.

SPEAKER_02 30:51

That was funny, where it's just like she has such she's the only one we've met so far who has like a good, uncomplicated relationship.

SPEAKER_06 30:57

Yeah, and just like she just has like cool lightning powers. Yeah, that that's a cool god because like um he's the god of wisdom in storms because insight strikes you like lightning, like it just kind of happens. And that's from that's from the like these gods come from the like the Theros world. Yeah, um, that's from that, and I I think that that's such a cool concept.

SPEAKER_02 31:18

That is cool.

SPEAKER_06 31:19

Um cool, and then Caladey. So you also talked briefly at Caladane.

SPEAKER_03 31:26

You know, she's obsessed with us because she kept coming up to us and trying to talk shit.

SPEAKER_02 31:31

Though I did follow her. You did follow her. You did, but that was after she came up.

SPEAKER_03 31:36

That was after she came up to y'all.

SPEAKER_02 31:37

That's true.

SPEAKER_08 31:37

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:38

She had she came up to No, she came up to you, Shane, and then she tried to talk back to you, and then like she walked away. So you were like, yo, yo, what's up? And then she walked away. So she wasn't, she wasn't ready to fight. She came up to us.

SPEAKER_06 31:49

The girls in the villa were fighting.

SPEAKER_03 31:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 31:51

Trying to big league us. We tried, we big leagued her back. Yeah. And then she went to go talk to the high priestess uh of Heliod, high son of High Sun Georgiana. Yeah. And then we followed her, and we big leagued the shit out of her.

SPEAKER_06 32:07

You you big leagued the shit out of her. And I was like, Georgiana was gonna be an easier person to convince to vote for you because that was the point of the side quest. Was like anyone whose quest you complete, they're like they like you more.

SPEAKER_03 32:20

Because we freed their soldiers, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 32:22

Genuinely had completely forgotten that we had done that or that she was related to it. Excellent. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:26

Yeah, that was a real Baldur's Gate moment. It was like a ching. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 32:30

Well, because you completed. There was a world in which, because you guys first like walked in in the middle of a council meeting, in which I made it known, or like that they were they were voting on an Area X8 package. So there was like a world in which you guys in that moment are like, we need to stop this. Right. We need to talk to people and see what we can do to convince them. And then everyone would have been like, and here's my side quest.

SPEAKER_03 32:52

Gotcha.

SPEAKER_06 32:53

Um what's up?

SPEAKER_03 32:55

I was counting the council members.

SPEAKER_06 32:57

Six.

SPEAKER_03 32:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 32:58

Yes. Which we technically didn't complete. Bones is.

SPEAKER_08 33:03

Yeah, but but Bones is my my dog.

SPEAKER_03 33:06

And we can do that at any time. Like we're still, you know, we're still working on it.

SPEAKER_02 33:10

We're still in Bones' corner.

SPEAKER_06 33:11

You could leave the party and come back. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 33:14

Um give us a sec, Bones.

SPEAKER_06 33:16

Yeah. Uh so that was. Yeah, you guys, you guys really big leagued Caladeus.

SPEAKER_02 33:23

Especially having a negative one persuasion. Like, charisma is my lowest stat. Yeah. Um you rolled like a 19 or something. I got natural 20. Oh, yeah. That was the that was one of the most satisfying natural 20s.

SPEAKER_05 33:35

Uh was so many natural 20s in this last episode.

unknown 33:40

Sorry.

SPEAKER_03 33:41

Natural one over here, right?

SPEAKER_02 33:43

But it was it was basically like, hey, this is a role to own Caladeus, and getting an extra natural 20 on the own Caladeus role is huge.

SPEAKER_06 33:52

I like for the community.

SPEAKER_02 33:53

Huge for the community.

SPEAKER_06 33:54

I I really like it when you guys hate an NPC. Like that's that's fun for me. That's like it's fun for us too. I I love it when you guys are like, fuck you, I hate you, fuck you, and die.

SPEAKER_02 34:07

Which right now is pretty much just Caladeus. Well, Euriphon and Silas.

SPEAKER_06 34:10

Silas, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 34:11

When yeah, when Rex said like, fuck you to Caladeus, and Caladeus was like, fuck you back, Matt got mad. Like I got mad. I was like, I'm gonna fight Spencer right now.

SPEAKER_07 34:22

Don't buy now. I'm you, Spencer. I'm I'm a peaceful guy. I don't fight. Uh I'm gonna fight Spencer right now.

SPEAKER_06 34:29

I I uh so then you guys, you own Caladeus, you all reconvened. I liked that you guys spent almost the entire episode like apart or in little groups, and then at the very end you came together and literally sat on each other's shoulders. Literally.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

I'm so glad that worked.

SPEAKER_06 34:45

That was crazy. I was like, there's no way this is gonna work.

SPEAKER_03 34:47

Because I kept saying it like kind of as a joke, just because I wanted us to do it in fall.

SPEAKER_06 34:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:52

Um, but no, we were we're all strong.

SPEAKER_06 34:55

Yeah. Yeah. It it was we all rolled really well. Yeah, you all rolled really well.

SPEAKER_05 34:58

And I think we like played the who has what advantage well so that we were able to like maximize the role.

SPEAKER_02 35:05

There was a very gamey component. It wasn't just random, it was like it was like what order are we going in? Yeah, what abilities do we have to up this?

SPEAKER_06 35:11

Yeah, absolutely. And I I think part of the what to me is like fun about this arc uh is just encouraging the teamwork, I think, because you know the party has had like interparty conflicts and like stuff like that. Yeah. And I think I'm trying to, in the mechanics of this arc and in the story, like with Whisper and them who like didn't work together and fell apart, highlight the amount to which you guys do successfully work together, you know.

SPEAKER_02 35:42

Spencer's sneaking in team building events.

SPEAKER_04 35:44

How about it?

SPEAKER_02 35:45

This party is secretly a team building conference, it's a it's uh off site.

SPEAKER_04 35:49

Oh, I want to act out.

SPEAKER_08 35:51

I really liked um Shane when you went outside to gas guidance on yourself.

SPEAKER_06 35:56

Yes, oh my gosh, that was so funny. Yes, yeah, that was that was really fun. Um and oh, and I mean not to go backwards, but Patch sitting alone in the garden playing his panpipes. Yeah, yeah, that was a beautiful image that was so sad. I've I felt so guilty.

SPEAKER_05 36:19

I think it's such a it is it's such a testament to the story that it was so tender, like that the fact that it felt really sad for us. We care about Patch so much. Yeah, we your acting was so good that we wanted this to work out because you were so awkward, and because like we love to see yeah awkward love like bloom like that. Yeah. And so I feel like it was so good, but it it did hurt for real. Yeah, I think in a way that I think is important. It makes the I was happy to happiness shine brighter.

SPEAKER_03 36:49

I was happy to be able to give Patch that moment. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06 36:52

And I I think like all of the characters, um, you know, when we think of where they started and where they are now, like they've experienced such a range of emotions. We know so much more about them, not just like factually, but just like they feel so much more real, uh, in a way that's like, yeah. Like Patch in the beginning was like, Yeah, I'm like a gamer. Yeah. And now he's just a cute little guy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 37:17

Um, I have to say, Chloe, I think you win the Oscar for this episode in just in so many ways. The also, not only like the dramatic part of being sad, Patch, but also being nervous, Patch was so funny. The monologue was great.

SPEAKER_03 37:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 37:34

It was so good. Yeah, and when talking with Alice as well, a bit of good. I mean it you know, Torky Pig, like, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 37:42

It it really is because I'm a good actor and not because that's how I am when I'm actually interacting with people I'm interested in.

SPEAKER_08 37:51

Ladies, Chloe is smooth.

SPEAKER_03 37:53

It's all an act.

SPEAKER_08 37:54

It is Chloe's very smooth and very confident.

SPEAKER_03 37:57

Patch has plus three to persuasion. Chloe has plus five. All right.

SPEAKER_08 38:00

All right.

SPEAKER_03 38:01

Plus ten.

SPEAKER_05 38:02

I'm not sure, but you've persuaded me. Chloe's gonna persuade you.

SPEAKER_03 38:05

No, I'm not.

SPEAKER_06 38:08

I mean, um, I mean, um, I don't know about it.

SPEAKER_08 38:14

Just in a bar taking out a d20, being like, can I persuade you to come out with it?

SPEAKER_05 38:19

Oh no. Watch out, ladies. I got a plus five.

SPEAKER_06 38:24

You get a natural 20, she goes, no. Oh. I thought that you would have to. Oh.

SPEAKER_02 38:34

Did you also roll a natural 20 contested?

SPEAKER_08 38:37

That was your roll.

SPEAKER_06 38:38

Yeah, that was that was good.

SPEAKER_08 38:40

Oh, you don't have a dice? I've got extra back in my place. And that's smooth. Oh, that's smooth.

SPEAKER_06 38:44

Maybe that's a plus.

SPEAKER_03 38:45

I already said no.

SPEAKER_06 38:48

Um, yeah, uh, so you guys got the bell, and that's where we ended. Oh, we also ended the episode with you guys seeing uh in Triocus's entourage Minotaur.

SPEAKER_03 38:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 39:00

Bet you that's a mogus dude.

SPEAKER_03 39:01

We're already pretty suspicious of Trioctus.

SPEAKER_02 39:04

Tag me in. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Oh, he seems complicated.

SPEAKER_05 39:08

Oh, Trioctus. No. No.

SPEAKER_06 39:12

What are you gonna say?

SPEAKER_05 39:13

Uh is a stand-in for trying our quest.

SPEAKER_06 39:16

Oh my god, that would be awesome, but no.

SPEAKER_03 39:20

His last name is Tri Quast Quest. His name is Questlove.

SPEAKER_08 39:24

Trioctquast. Trioctusquast.

SPEAKER_04 39:27

Trioquast?

SPEAKER_02 39:28

No, I always think like 38 when I hear his name. Trioctus. Yeah, yeah. Like 38. Is that a lateral thinking shape? Numerology.

SPEAKER_08 39:37

That would be great.

SPEAKER_02 39:39

What could be 3-8? 3-8.

SPEAKER_00 39:41

Yeah, I think of it.

SPEAKER_07 39:42

Dude, yes, dude, yes. Clip that's gone. Make it happen.

SPEAKER_02 39:46

Don't clip that. Please forget that ever happened. I've forgotten already. Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 39:50

11.

SPEAKER_06 39:51

Yeah, so true. 3-8 is totally 11. Yeah. Or hey, or 32. No, 24. Yes.

SPEAKER_08 40:00

Or I think if we closed our eyes and all had to count up, you know, how the improv exercise, we make it to 38 with this crew.

unknown 40:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_08 40:08

You're gonna try it. I don't think it's gonna waste it. If we try it, let's not do it on camera.

SPEAKER_00 40:12

Yeah, let's let's end it on it. One.

SPEAKER_06 40:18

Well, with that, uh, we're gonna anyone have anything else they want to say about the Minotaur, or we wanna save it for the app.

SPEAKER_08 40:24

I have no thoughts other than I'm curious and I want to figure it out.

SPEAKER_05 40:27

Yep. I yeah, agreed. And I also it it um it also I don't know what the word is for this. It like reanimated uh or added some like water to the dried paint of uh water to the clay. Water to the clay.

SPEAKER_08 40:45

Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 40:45

Of wanting to see how Mogus comes back at some point. Yeah. Like whenever, like I don't know when that's gonna happen, but it's just like, oh yeah, wait, the whole Minotaur, the whole Mogus being gone and coming back, like that is just so exciting.

SPEAKER_06 40:58

It's one of those things, like you you start a world by being like the god of war is missing. There's no way he doesn't come back. Like you can't just be like, well, we've it you're level 20 and Mogus uh still no one knows no one fucking knows.

SPEAKER_05 41:12

And it's like I don't think about that all the time, but every so often it's like ooh, a mystery that gets to come up at some point.

SPEAKER_08 41:17

I actually, yeah, I think that'll be interesting for Rex. I don't know how I'm gonna play it, but you'll find out in this next episode when Mogus comes up. Hopefully, yeah. Mogus crashes the party. Debella Deball!

SPEAKER_00 41:28

Bella Deball.

SPEAKER_05 41:29

Bella Deball that we just got. Bella Deball. We just grabbed the Debella Deball.

SPEAKER_08 41:33

Yes, Bella Deball. Um, I was gonna say with um with uh the Minotaur, we and also specifically with Mogus, like I feel like we've only experienced like worshippers of Mogus being sort of like bumbling idiots. Yes. Like Except for Hexus, except for Hexus, except for Hexus, he's a creep, but yeah, we yeah, we've had like Hexus sort of like puppeteering the the crew down in the labyrinth. We have like obviously the reference point of Rex being in this fraternity that just drinks, they don't do anything like really worshiping of Mogus. Yeah, like so I think in in Rex's mind, like Mogus is more of an idea than uh than actually like uh an actual god and one that's like, yeah, do whatever you want, you know, instead of being like God of slaughter.

SPEAKER_00 42:30

Yeah, I want to kill all of you.

SPEAKER_05 42:31

Yeah, it's really like uh like first season bad guys. So it's like there are stakes, you know. We like have run into some guys that are like not good guys, but like yeah, down the line, there's gonna be more like higher stakes or people that are like actually really bad.

SPEAKER_03 42:46

My theory is that Mogus has been working on himself, so when we meet him, he's gonna be like depressed.

SPEAKER_08 42:51

He's gonna be woke.

SPEAKER_06 42:53

He's gonna have lost 20 pounds and he's going to he's gonna carry around one of those big water jugs that has like like almost there. Keep going, buddy.

SPEAKER_03 43:05

You did it.

SPEAKER_06 43:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 43:07

Um I I do feel like well, it'll be interesting if we maybe accidentally on purpose start a war. Like, let's just say something terrible happens to Caladeus and it's maybe our fault.

SPEAKER_03 43:16

Let's just say she falls down a flight of stairs. Hey, let's just say she goes for a chat and people know in the back of the head. Let's push her down a flight of the stairs. What an unceremonious way for like a level nine wizard or whatever to die.

SPEAKER_01 43:29

I think she's like level 19.

SPEAKER_05 43:30

If we we would have to like immobilize her some way, right? So that she couldn't just save herself or like fly out.

SPEAKER_06 43:35

But we could do it. She would be hard to kill. Let's uh That's all I'm gonna say.

SPEAKER_03 43:39

Baby Jane her.

SPEAKER_06 43:42

On that note, oh the only other thing I I I do think I agree with what you're saying about like all the mogus people so far being kind of goofy, and it that's I'm also excited for like I'm I'm trying to juggle three like antagonistic factions right now. Yeah. And I'm excited for When the Mogus faction pops off. Interesting. We'll see.

SPEAKER_03 44:05

You're gonna have another antagonistic faction with the when the patchheads rise up. On that note, patchheads rise up in the comments.

SPEAKER_06 46:25

I well, I I have lived this so far my life of uh uh uh 230 when you like so far an immortal being been able to eat any like I've had a fast metabolism and a body that does that processes everything fine, like like milk I've been fine with, dry being in a car I've been fine with, and in the last two years, slowly every system is starting to fail. Yeah, and I think about it daily.

SPEAKER_03 46:56

It's gonna be bad and then it's that's just the microplastics. It's gonna be bad and then it's gonna get better. Yeah, you just not gonna get better, but you're gonna figure it out.
