You were down here?
Yeah, sort of prowling about.
[00:01:02] Speaker D: Whoa.
Oh, he's fishing.
[00:01:08] Speaker B: Fishing. That's nice. Fishing's a good, good activity.
I don't know if it necessarily befits a.
Well, I was gonna say it doesn't befit a king, but I don't know about that.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: What.
[00:01:26] Speaker C: What do you mean by that?
[00:01:27] Speaker D: I'm not talking about kings.
[00:01:28] Speaker B: Oh, no. No reason. We don't wanna be talking about something like that with someone. Could be playing possum on your shoulder.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:01:39] Speaker C: I thought you were a ferret.
[00:01:41] Speaker E: Eh.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: Oh, Rafina, endear yourself to me. More and more with every passing moment.
[00:01:52] Speaker C: Quick, let's find that coffee.
[00:01:59] Speaker B: Where's.
Where's the rest of you? Hopefully. Okay.
No, wait. Nope. Yep, There. They're good. They're up in.
Up in Rafina's room.
[00:02:13] Speaker C: How can you tell?
[00:02:14] Speaker B: Captain, this is my ship.
[00:02:16] Speaker D: Captain?
[00:02:18] Speaker B: Yes?
[00:02:20] Speaker D: Are you a God?
[00:02:24] Speaker B: I mean, it's kind of obvious, isn't it?
[00:02:27] Speaker E: Whoa.
[00:02:28] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:02:30] Speaker C: The fabulous ferret.
[00:02:32] Speaker E: Yeah, I'm wondering what the adjective is.
[00:02:34] Speaker D: Pathwack.
Kick. Kneels down.
[00:02:39] Speaker C: The seafaring ferret.
[00:02:42] Speaker B: Well, thank you. That's. That's. That's fine, but not necessary.
[00:02:45] Speaker A: You can.
[00:02:46] Speaker B: You can stand up.
[00:02:48] Speaker D: He stands again.
[00:02:50] Speaker B: Why don't we, when we all get back together.
[00:02:53] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:02:54] Speaker B: We can figure out what to do with this guy and your shoulder and what to do about the damage you incurred to my vessel here. And we'll get it all sorted out, okay?
[00:03:10] Speaker C: On the way, maybe you can tell us about your relationship with the albatross.
[00:03:14] Speaker B: The who?
[00:03:16] Speaker C: The cross. Albatross. Do you know the cross Albatross?
[00:03:21] Speaker B: No.
[00:03:26] Speaker C: Man, they really should have God conventions where they can meet each other so we don't always have this problem.
[00:03:34] Speaker B: Come on, let's go.
You all right there, bathwack? You need a hand with him?
[00:03:41] Speaker C: What the possum?
[00:03:43] Speaker B: Bathwack? Do you Need a hand with him? I'm sorry? Kick. Do you need a hand with him?
[00:03:52] Speaker F: No.
[00:03:53] Speaker A: Okay, great.
[00:03:55] Speaker B: Let's go.
[00:03:57] Speaker A: Oh, my goodness.
[00:03:59] Speaker B: And he leads the way. He's walking on two. On his hind legs.
[00:04:06] Speaker C: Are his legs, like.
Remind me. So he's very tall, but he's in proportion as a human. For the rest of his body, he's.
[00:04:15] Speaker A: He looks like a ferret, but blowing human size.
[00:04:19] Speaker C: So his. So he's got these tiny, short legs then?
[00:04:22] Speaker A: Yes. And he's got to be walking like this because they're so. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
[00:04:27] Speaker C: Oh, to live in Eric's head.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: Why is Rafina into that?
[00:04:32] Speaker C: We'll see.
[00:04:33] Speaker B: I guess we will.
That coffee doesn't show up soon enough.
Where did you last leave them? Oh, wait. No. I know where they are. Come on, let's go.
[00:04:44] Speaker C: How do you know everything about the ship?
[00:04:46] Speaker B: It's just part of what I know. I'm not used to it. I've been in that body for so long. We'll get into it, okay?
Are you guys still in the room?
[00:05:03] Speaker A: Yeah. I tapped on the terrarium. It's the warping scorpion in there.
[00:05:07] Speaker B: It scurries out. It strikes at the glass.
[00:05:12] Speaker A: And I just stick my tongue out it, like.
Because it strikes at the glass.
If it does that, like, I didn't even do anything. I just tapped. I just go.
[00:05:23] Speaker B: And then it. Like a gecko, it strikes at the glass again. But the barb of the tail goes through the glass like an inch from your tongue.
[00:05:32] Speaker A: Oh, shit. All right. I flinch away.
Yikes. Why. Why are you in there? What are you doing in there? That's supposed to be Rafina's terrarium.
[00:05:45] Speaker B: Scurries away back into the. The model of Tivoli.
[00:05:51] Speaker F: It will.
You want to play? Say the same thing.
[00:06:01] Speaker A: Roscoe, you and I would never say the same thing.
[00:06:05] Speaker F: Oh, you want to bet?
[00:06:09] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:06:10] Speaker B: Shimi's looking back and forth between the two.
[00:06:15] Speaker A: I don't know. I. I don't know how to bet if. What are we just gonna say something random, and then if we match, you win?
[00:06:25] Speaker F: Let's not make it a bet.
[00:06:26] Speaker C: Let me just.
[00:06:27] Speaker F: I just think you might be surprised.
On the count of three, we both say the name of somebody in our party who we're mad at.
[00:06:37] Speaker A: Oh, Roscoe.
[00:06:40] Speaker C: Ah.
[00:06:40] Speaker F: And if it's the same thing, then we both win.
[00:06:45] Speaker C: Anger wins.
[00:06:46] Speaker A: Somebody in the party that we're. That we're mad at.
Okay.
It's hard to sort through my feelings here. I'm Mad at everyone all the time, so. Okay, sure, let's.
[00:06:59] Speaker B: Well, not everyone.
[00:07:01] Speaker A: Right, not everyone.
[00:07:04] Speaker F: All right, well, let's do it. You ready on the counter, Terry?
[00:07:07] Speaker B: Roscoe. Don't say me.
You won't win.
[00:07:11] Speaker F: Shut the up.
[00:07:12] Speaker A: Sh.
All right, all right, all right.
[00:07:19] Speaker B: I'll count it down for you.
[00:07:22] Speaker C: One.
[00:07:22] Speaker F: Okay.
[00:07:24] Speaker B: Two.
Three.
[00:07:33] Speaker F: See, we got it in one try.
[00:07:36] Speaker A: Yeah, you know what? I don't think that was very hard to guess.
[00:07:39] Speaker F: Now, let's. Now let's.
[00:07:40] Speaker A: Okay, why are you mad at him?
[00:07:45] Speaker F: Oh, good question.
Here, in answer to your question, let's play one more time. All right, now, on the count of three, let's say the name of a party member that we're not mad at.
[00:07:57] Speaker C: Right?
[00:07:58] Speaker A: Who's included in the party. Can I say the terrarium?
[00:08:02] Speaker B: Shimmy waggles his eyebrows at both of you.
[00:08:06] Speaker F: All right, here we go. Shimmy countdown.
[00:08:08] Speaker B: All right, I will count down in my lovable voice. One, two, three.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: Pippa, what the hell does that mean, Roscoe? Grain.
[00:08:30] Speaker E: Roscoe just taps his nose.
[00:08:34] Speaker F: My point is, I think that we might benefit from giving our friend, our party member, a bit of grace because he's juggling multiple identities. And I think you of all people can understand how much pressure that puts one under, Right?
[00:09:07] Speaker A: Sure. But usually if you were struggling with something, and you have a history of struggling with something, you might want to, I don't know, rely on other people to help you out instead of just withholding information.
I shouldn't have said that because that is something I do. But, you know, I'm annoyed.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: Wait, what?
[00:09:29] Speaker A: All right, Shimi, don't pretend like you don't know that I have a lot of information.
[00:09:35] Speaker B: Yeah, you withhold it from everybody else.
[00:09:38] Speaker A: Shimmy. You're like eight years old, okay?
[00:09:41] Speaker B: No, come on. I'm canonically 14.
[00:09:44] Speaker A: Shimi, there's, you know, you have done an awful lot of stuff on this cruise ship as well.
[00:09:51] Speaker B: Thank you.
[00:09:51] Speaker A: And I'm not. Okay, you can take it however you want. I'm just saying, like, we just seem to be incredibly split up on a very small craft, relatively like we've been in the wide open world. We've been in towns and cities, and now we're just on a boat and we're all just going everywhere and then.
[00:10:14] Speaker B: The others show up.
[00:10:17] Speaker A: Hi.
[00:10:20] Speaker F: What the fuck is that? Holy fucking shit. I worked for a circus for much of my life, and I've seen a lot of fucked up animals and shit. What is happening here? Holy shit.
Fuck.
I'm horrified. I'm experiencing genuine horror right Now, Roscoe, that's just kick.
[00:10:44] Speaker A: Roscoe didn't see the badger with flying out of it.
Amazing.
[00:10:51] Speaker B: Remember?
[00:10:52] Speaker A: Oh, Shimi, I love you. It's the best joke ever.
Yeah.
[00:10:58] Speaker B: Hello, passengers.
[00:11:03] Speaker F: Oh, good, it talks. That puts me at ease. What the.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: Roscoe, you've got to get used to talking animals. You've got to get used to talking animals. I'm not. I know.
[00:11:14] Speaker F: This thing's covered in entrails. And look at this thing.
[00:11:17] Speaker B: Oh, come on. I lick. She needs. No, no, no, no. I licked most of that off, so that's something.
[00:11:25] Speaker F: It's falling out of your mouth. Like, you look like Denny Thor has been eating a bunch of juicy tomat.
[00:11:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Does Rafina seem okay?
[00:11:39] Speaker C: Like, Rafina is. It looks like she's sort of holding her breath and is trying to not give away anything because she feels like the situation is very tense.
[00:11:57] Speaker A: Like, does she.
[00:11:58] Speaker C: On the brink.
[00:11:59] Speaker A: Okay, all right. She seems like.
Like she's usually so at ease in general. So she doesn't seem like that. Like, does it. Do I perceive that she feels threatened or something?
[00:12:12] Speaker C: No, no. It's more that she's impatient to get to some answers. Okay. And has a lot to process.
[00:12:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:12:24] Speaker C: As do we all.
[00:12:26] Speaker B: Can I invite you all to my room where we might have a little more space to arrange ourselves?
[00:12:34] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:12:35] Speaker C: Terrarium.
[00:12:36] Speaker A: Come.
[00:12:36] Speaker C: Come with us.
[00:12:39] Speaker A: Watch out, Rafina, because that freaking scorpion can go through the glass without breaking it.
[00:12:44] Speaker C: Oh, I know.
[00:12:45] Speaker A: Oh, great. Why didn't you warn me? It almost stung me on the tongue.
[00:12:49] Speaker C: Well, you shouldn't have stuck your tongue out at it.
[00:12:51] Speaker A: How do you know that?
[00:12:52] Speaker C: Because you just said it almost stung you on the tongue.
[00:12:56] Speaker A: Hey, what's up? And I was talking, and it happened to me that my tongue was near the glass. But you're right. I did stick my tongue out at it because why is it in there?
[00:13:05] Speaker B: I love.
[00:13:05] Speaker F: So what's.
Is this cl. Is this cl. Are you Chloe? Are you not dead? Are you the captain's ferret?
[00:13:14] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She. She did die.
Still a sore spot for me. That was only 18 hours ago. No, I don't know.
Not that long ago.
No, no, no, no, no. I am Captain Melvolio Paisley. In a way. Anyway.
[00:13:34] Speaker C: First very important question is.
[00:13:37] Speaker B: Well, let's go to my room.
[00:13:38] Speaker C: Can I remind you of a ferret?
[00:13:40] Speaker B: Um. Hmm. You know, that's a great question. No, I don't think so. I mean, you sort of have a playful manner about you, but. No.
[00:13:53] Speaker C: Do I smell like a ferret?
[00:13:54] Speaker B: Oh, no. Certainly not.
[00:13:57] Speaker A: He's offended by his own odor.
[00:13:59] Speaker B: No, we just have a very peculiar scent.
And Rafina definitely does not smell like that. But please, please, come on. Let's go to my. It's just right here. You know where it is. You've been there before.
You and I had a touching moment on the piano there, Rufina, if you recall.
[00:14:17] Speaker C: I do. It feels like a whole other world.
[00:14:22] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:14:23] Speaker C: You're not really able to play the piano anymore with those pointy claws.
[00:14:27] Speaker B: Oh, I can figure it out.
[00:14:29] Speaker C: Okay. I was just curious.
[00:14:32] Speaker E: Roscoe will follow. He's just muttering to himself like, I.
[00:14:36] Speaker F: Saw the captain died. The captain was torn to pieces.
He was torn to pieces.
[00:14:47] Speaker B: And he ushers you through the double doors into his luxurious quarters.
There's the piano, if you recall. There's the map of six rivers in the center of the room. There's some plush seating about. There's a bar.
Gestures, please help yourself. And he goes over and he plops down on the big bed.
[00:15:10] Speaker E: Eric, would we have passed the hallway? The part of the ship where the Owlbear and Dan Aykroyd's bodies were? Nope, we didn't pass.
[00:15:22] Speaker B: No, it's just right. It's like two doors down. It's right at the end of this hallway here. It's this big room with the blue carpet on the map.
[00:15:30] Speaker A: I just learned something really interesting, and probably Adam would already know this, but I don't know if anyone else would know this. It's because I was looking in. I was looking something up about Carrie Fisher. I think Carrie Fisher and Dan Aykroyd were, like, engaged for a little bit. Isn't that weird?
[00:15:43] Speaker C: What?
[00:15:44] Speaker A: Carrie Fisher and Dan Aykroyd. What a couple, right? It was in between her dating Paul Simon for like, eight years or something like that.
[00:15:52] Speaker E: But, yeah, they. They dated Dan Ackerman. He asked her to marry him.
[00:15:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:57] Speaker E: After giving her the Heimlich maneuver.
[00:15:59] Speaker A: For real. Wait, where did you read this In a book or something? Podcast or something?
[00:16:04] Speaker E: I literally just googled Dan Ayr. Terry Fisher. Dan Ayrd asked car.
[00:16:12] Speaker A: Dan Aykroyd and Carrie Fisher.
[00:16:15] Speaker E: They fell in love on the set of Blues.
[00:16:18] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah, that's what I. That's what I saw. Yeah.
[00:16:21] Speaker E: Belushi tried to set them up before filming started.
And then things took a serious turn when Ackroyd saved Fisher's life after she began choking on a Brussels sprout.
The incident. The incident ended in an engagement.
[00:16:38] Speaker A: Are you serious? That's so funny. I didn't really.
[00:16:40] Speaker E: He was forcing me to eat because I was very thin in those days. And I inhaled a Brussels sprout, and I started choking. Thought I was laughing. And then he saw that I was dying, and he did. He did the Heimlich maneuver. And then, like, 10 minutes later, he asked me to marry him, and I thought, I better marry him. What if that happens again?
[00:16:57] Speaker A: Oh, my gosh.
So funny.
[00:17:00] Speaker E: Oh, that's great.
[00:17:01] Speaker A: That is amazing. But now we know that the captain is going to try to shove Brussels sprouts down Rafina's throat so she'll marry him. Oh, no.
[00:17:09] Speaker C: That's going to happen. Yeah. Dang it.
[00:17:12] Speaker A: Don't eat any Brussels.
[00:17:13] Speaker B: There's a whole Brussels sprout section of the bar.
[00:17:16] Speaker A: Pickled Brussels sprouts with a Brussels sprout martini. Oh, my gosh. All right.
[00:17:22] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:17:22] Speaker A: He plops onto his big bed.
[00:17:24] Speaker B: Yep. Now, please, help yourselves. Make yourselves comfortable.
But sounds like at least Rafina has some. Some questions that she would like answered. And if any of you have any, feel free.
[00:17:37] Speaker E: Is and does. Kick him.
[00:17:39] Speaker A: Yeah. That's what I'm wondering.
[00:17:40] Speaker E: The unconscious crew member with him, I'm assuming.
[00:17:44] Speaker D: I mean, I was going, which one? Him down.
Sorry.
[00:17:52] Speaker E: You tried stowing him away somewhere? He tried.
[00:17:54] Speaker D: I was gonna. I mean, if the captain isn't gonna kill him right away and we're gonna go up, you know, I would place him gently back down in the control room. And we're right there.
[00:18:05] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:18:06] Speaker D: And go upstairs, kind of hoping that the captain doesn't feel him.
[00:18:10] Speaker A: Does he look like he's. Look at his chops. Like he's gonna go back or what? You got to give him. I'm just saying, you got to give Alex some kind of visual. I think about what happens.
[00:18:19] Speaker B: He's just waiting at the door to the. The. The barracks. As you go back there. He's just. He's watching you. He doesn't. He's not tapping his fingers, his claws together maniacally or anything.
[00:18:34] Speaker E: And did you do that before or after you guys came back to the room to get Will and Roscoe and Shimi?
[00:18:41] Speaker D: Before. Before.
[00:18:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:18:42] Speaker E: Okay, Gotcha.
[00:18:43] Speaker A: Okay, cool.
[00:18:48] Speaker C: So my first question is, do we continue to address you as Captain Malvolio Paisley?
[00:18:54] Speaker B: You certainly may. I mean, that was my human form's name, and I do have some affection for that. I mean, if you want to be more or less formal, I guess, depending on your view of religion and gods and things like that, you could call me the Flirtatious Ferret. It's up to you.
[00:19:12] Speaker C: Omg.
[00:19:17] Speaker A: I Love it.
[00:19:18] Speaker B: Whatever you prefer. Rafina.
[00:19:24] Speaker C: Why aren't you flirting with everybody?
[00:19:29] Speaker A: Does she ask that?
[00:19:32] Speaker C: She does, but then she just continues right on with the next question.
Is the ship somehow cosmically connected to you in some spectral body kind of way?
[00:19:46] Speaker B: I mean, it would. It would appear to be that way, yes.
This ship was not.
This was entirely of my human form's doing. He had this ship constructed and he. I. It's a little confusing. Captained it and I suppose as a result, that has imbued some sense of control and awareness. Sort of kind of looks around thoughtfully to me. Yeah.
[00:20:24] Speaker C: Have you. So you. Have you always had. In your human form. Have you always been able to know what's going on everywhere in the ship?
[00:20:35] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. I was. I was. I was not aware in that. In that form.
[00:20:41] Speaker C: So why did you assume a human form?
[00:20:43] Speaker B: Well, I mean, you might not be.
[00:20:49] Speaker F: Careful because you know what happens when you assume you make a ferret out of you and me.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: Well, not you, just me.
[00:20:58] Speaker E: Oh. Yeah.
[00:20:59] Speaker F: Okay, you can continue.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: Thank you.
No, it's just. I mean, when it comes down to it, I mean, flirting isn't really that fun when you're a God.
[00:21:13] Speaker C: I thought you were gonna say when you're a ferret.
[00:21:16] Speaker B: Well, same thing for me, anyway.
It was too easy. There's no, like. There's no chase.
And so I decided to give pseudo mortality a shot.
I made it so I forgot who I was and, you know, just.
[00:21:38] Speaker C: Wow.
[00:21:39] Speaker B: Just gave it a shot.
[00:21:40] Speaker C: Commitment.
[00:21:41] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:21:41] Speaker C: It was very interesting. I don't think we've known another God who's gone into pseudo mortality.
[00:21:47] Speaker B: Maybe you have.
[00:21:49] Speaker C: We might have, but none of them have. Has said that and has appeared as a human.
[00:21:53] Speaker B: Yeah. Maybe they weren't disemboweled.
[00:21:57] Speaker C: So many possibilities. My other question is, what really happened to Chloe?
[00:22:04] Speaker B: Oh, you know what happened.
She died. She fell off?
[00:22:08] Speaker C: No. But did she really fall off?
[00:22:10] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:22:10] Speaker C: Wait, she wasn't pushed?
[00:22:12] Speaker B: Nope. I mean, as far as I'm aware. I don't believe there was foul play involved. I was there. It happened. It was a terrible accident.
[00:22:22] Speaker C: And you were holding her at the time?
[00:22:24] Speaker B: Well, no, I was playing with her. We were on the top of the ship.
[00:22:27] Speaker C: That's right. That's right. I have you installed better railing on that part of the ship?
[00:22:35] Speaker B: No, but I also haven't brought aboard a new ferret.
[00:22:42] Speaker C: So I. I think you need better railings.
[00:22:44] Speaker B: Well, I.
[00:22:44] Speaker C: And now you don't have any live crew left to install it. Except for the one that bathwack Is reserved, by the way, everyone. The God knows that bathwack is bathwack, but you probably guessed that.
[00:22:56] Speaker A: Oh, that's great.
[00:23:01] Speaker C: Okay, I feel better.
[00:23:06] Speaker B: Well, I suspected until now.
[00:23:10] Speaker C: You suspected? As a human. You suspected?
[00:23:12] Speaker B: No, I'm kidding. I do.
[00:23:14] Speaker D: Okay.
[00:23:18] Speaker A: Okay. Well, we. I. I guess. I don't know what's happening right now, but if we are still on our way to Gully's End, we still need to keep some semblance of.
[00:23:30] Speaker B: I don't know that I'm necessarily happy with the way you all conducted yourself aboard my. My vessel here. Right.
[00:23:37] Speaker C: That seems fair.
[00:23:38] Speaker B: Yeah, I. I think that we were trying to.
[00:23:40] Speaker C: But I want to tell you about the cross Albatross, so at least you can understand some of the context here.
[00:23:45] Speaker B: Okay, go for it.
[00:23:47] Speaker C: There was a God that approached Roscoe, named the cross albatross, and it asked us to free a juvenile winged owl bear, which we clumsily did. And then you killed it. So I'm a little upset about that.
[00:24:03] Speaker B: It was trying to kill me, to be fair. I guess it kind of did.
[00:24:09] Speaker C: In a sense. Yeah.
[00:24:11] Speaker B: I had the benefit of being an immortal God ensconced in the mortal shell of a human, and the owlbear did not have that advantage, Though I didn't know it at the time.
[00:24:25] Speaker C: Irrelevant. Possibly. But in any case, we wondered.
We were trying diligently. I mean, how much do you think you know about our ultimate quest here?
I mean, our semi. Ultimate quest?
[00:24:45] Speaker B: I mean, I.
I heard you guys talking here or in the other room there about something about defeating dark powers.
[00:24:59] Speaker C: You heard us talking or who did you hear talking?
[00:25:03] Speaker B: You and Roscoe and. And Will.
[00:25:06] Speaker C: Okay, so you heard us conversing about this.
[00:25:10] Speaker B: Clock face didn't say much.
Pippa was raw.
[00:25:16] Speaker F: Yeah. So it begs the question, what is your sort of fundamental orientation toward dark powers?
[00:25:25] Speaker B: Well, I mean, I'm kind of new to the. This whole circumstance. I mean, what. What exactly are we dealing with here?
[00:25:35] Speaker A: The end of the world shouldn't.
[00:25:37] Speaker F: Yeah, that shouldn't affect your. Your answer to the question, like living.
[00:25:41] Speaker A: And flirting and things like that. Maybe you want to let us get.
[00:25:44] Speaker B: To go see Dark Towers. That's such a vague term.
[00:25:48] Speaker A: Well, it's kind of vague to us.
[00:25:51] Speaker F: We got a moral relativist on our hands, everybody.
We got a carnival ethicist.
[00:25:58] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:26:02] Speaker B: Well, I don't know anything about their morality yet, do I?
What's at stake? What's going on?
[00:26:09] Speaker F: Well, they're not so much stakes as.
[00:26:11] Speaker A: They are slivers, but okay, yeah, basically, there's a bunch of very bad entities that have entered your world and want to tear it apart.
They are apparently in several different locations, and we need to go defeat them. And we were on our way to do so until all of this happened.
[00:26:36] Speaker B: Why you guys?
[00:26:38] Speaker A: I don't know. You know, maybe you can talk to some of your fellow gods and fix this so somebody else can do it.
[00:26:44] Speaker B: No, I mean, like, why do you know it's you guys? Not, like, who. Like, why were you chosen? But who chose you?
Or did you choose yourselves?
[00:26:56] Speaker A: I didn't choose myself, that's for sure.
[00:26:58] Speaker B: Who chose Will, you guys?
[00:27:06] Speaker C: We will maintains consistently that he was very definitely not in a volunteer.
[00:27:18] Speaker B: Or is it more like you all just kind of see yourselves as the protagonists in your own stories?
[00:27:24] Speaker A: Well, in our own stories, I hope we are. I hope you're your own protagonist. Don't we all story? Yes, but it's more like nobody else seems to really know what's going on or have the ability to do anything about it.
[00:27:38] Speaker B: Why do you guys?
[00:27:40] Speaker A: Why do we? Because we were pulled into a scenario in which those dark powers were interested in us in various ways. Unfortunately, against some of our wills.
[00:27:51] Speaker F: Yeah, for myself, I had a strange key. For as long as I could remember that changed its teeth every morning at dawn. That never fit anything in my entire life until I met these weirdos.
[00:28:08] Speaker B: That's a little less vague.
[00:28:13] Speaker A: How not vague do you want us to be?
[00:28:15] Speaker B: I don't know.
I don't. I'm just making conversation more than anything at this point.
[00:28:23] Speaker D: What do you know about Gully's End?
[00:28:26] Speaker B: It's that land over there.
[00:28:29] Speaker D: What do you know about the war?
[00:28:33] Speaker B: I don't know anything about a war.
I mean, I heard about there was, you know, some sort of a coup or something like that, and you were driven out.
Now here you are trying to get back, I guess I'm assuming.
[00:28:57] Speaker D: What do you know about.
What do you know about sleeping?
[00:29:03] Speaker B: Sleeping?
That was something that was nice as a human.
[00:29:08] Speaker C: Oh.
[00:29:11] Speaker D: Right, you don't sleep anymore.
[00:29:15] Speaker B: I mean, I'm a God. I don't really sleep. No, I mean, there's certain things I can do in bed, but sleeping isn't one of them.
[00:29:27] Speaker A: Are you flirting with Bathwack?
[00:29:28] Speaker C: Rafina very determinedly does not look at him.
[00:29:32] Speaker B: He's not looking at you. He's looking at Bathwack. When you.
[00:29:35] Speaker D: When you're a God, I mean, when you. When you want to sleep, you just lay down and close your eyes and sleep, right?
[00:29:44] Speaker B: You just don't. You don't really want to, I guess. It's hard to explain. I know how good and nice it is, but it's just. I don't know. It's sort of separate from who I am. You also don't have to use that voice anymore if you don't want. But if you like it, you can.
[00:30:02] Speaker D: All right, fine.
I also drop the disguise.
[00:30:11] Speaker B: Still wearing those clothes off?
[00:30:14] Speaker D: Yep.
[00:30:15] Speaker B: Bathwack with a big floppy hat.
Very boring pants.
[00:30:22] Speaker C: Super boring.
[00:30:26] Speaker D: No. I mean, I don't know. Assuming we trust you, why should you?
[00:30:35] Speaker C: I do think.
[00:30:36] Speaker D: How many worlds do you live in?
[00:30:40] Speaker B: Well, I mean, I would say one, though. I guess it felt like I was living in another world for the past 48 years.
[00:30:49] Speaker A: Whoa.
[00:30:52] Speaker D: Well, but you just mean living in someone else's body.
[00:30:58] Speaker B: Sure, But I mean, for me, in my sort of perceptions and just personal experience, I would feel it's equatable to living in a different world.
But I think you're asking for a different reason.
[00:31:14] Speaker D: Yeah, I just wondered.
I wondered what a God's memories are like.
[00:31:23] Speaker B: Super complete.
[00:31:25] Speaker A: Whoa.
[00:31:28] Speaker F: Super complete.
[00:31:30] Speaker C: Sounds exhausting.
[00:31:32] Speaker B: Yeah, kind of.
[00:31:37] Speaker D: So you know what it's like to live all of your lives?
[00:31:42] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:31:44] Speaker D: Bathpack goes over the corner where I think there's a bar and starts getting some whiskey.
[00:31:52] Speaker B: Okay.
Some good stuff there.
So, yeah, I mean, I'll. I'll.
I'll let you guys stay on the ship for tonight, but for tomorrow you're on your own. I'll give you one of the lifeboats. We'll set you off towards the shore. There you can go on your merry way.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: Wait, which shore?
[00:32:13] Speaker B: I mean, Gully's End shore.
[00:32:16] Speaker A: A lifeboat? Wait, how? Like, is that a death sentence? I don't go on ship.
[00:32:21] Speaker B: It'll take you a few hours to get over there. You'll be fine.
I mean, Rafina, you can stay if you want.
[00:32:28] Speaker C: Thanks. That's very nice. I'm wondering if you would like some remuneration for the hole that we put in the wall.
[00:32:40] Speaker E: Vouchers. Just give it back.
Hole in the wall vouchers?
[00:32:47] Speaker C: Yeah, the Hole in the wall store.
[00:32:49] Speaker B: So that was you?
[00:32:51] Speaker C: Well, it wasn't me personally.
[00:32:53] Speaker B: That was a plural you.
[00:32:55] Speaker A: It wasn't all of us. I think that's a little unfair.
[00:32:59] Speaker B: Who was it?
[00:33:02] Speaker D: All right, look, it was me, okay? I cut the hole in the wall.
[00:33:07] Speaker B: Did anybody else do any damage to my ship?
[00:33:10] Speaker D: I thought that if I could get the owl bear out, that the albatross might.
Might help us.
[00:33:25] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:33:26] Speaker C: Well, I hope the albatross cleaned up the poop In Roscoe's room.
Do we know if that happened?
[00:33:34] Speaker B: Can you tell Captain there was poop in Roscoe's room?
Yeah, no, you're good. It's clean.
[00:33:42] Speaker C: Okay, well, at least the albatross kept his word on that.
[00:33:49] Speaker B: So I guess Bathwack having fessed up.
[00:33:53] Speaker D: All I have is 31 gold pieces.
[00:33:54] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, you're fine. You just. Just tomorrow morning, you and. You and Sean at least can. Can head off towards the shore. The rest of you can stay if you want.
[00:34:03] Speaker A: Okay, no, that's. No, please.
The whole entire point of us being on this ship is to pretend. I'm assuming you know this plan at this point. Can you read our minds? Oh, great Ferret. No, you can't.
[00:34:19] Speaker B: No.
[00:34:20] Speaker A: Okay, well, I'm going to be honest with you and say that our plan is that we need to get into Gully's End without, quote, unquote, Bath. Whack. Like, he needs to be dead. Fakely. Please don't kill him so that we can get into Gully's End. There's somebody who won't let us in there because they don't like Bathwack, and we really desperately need to get there so that we can remove this sliver of dark powers. And if you send Bathwack and stupid Shawn. Indigo. Sure, send Sean Indigo on a boat, but please.
All right, Bathwack, we can. We can tame him if you let us. You know, maybe we can babysit him. How much longer would it take on this ship to get to Gully's End?
[00:35:09] Speaker B: I mean, with me in full control, Two days.
[00:35:12] Speaker A: Okay, is there a way that you would allow Bathwhack to just sit in one spot on the ship? Is there some way that we could do that? Is there something that you would like us to do for you?
[00:35:25] Speaker B: He ferrets around on the bed and, like a little circle, pauses or kneads his paws into the. The. The mattress and looks over at you, Will, and he says, you make it worth my while.
[00:35:42] Speaker A: Oh, God. What do you mean?
Sure.
[00:35:48] Speaker B: How?
[00:35:48] Speaker A: I look at Rafina.
[00:35:50] Speaker C: Oh, no.
[00:35:54] Speaker A: Well, I don't know what God's like. Or ferrets, to be completely honest. I don't.
[00:36:00] Speaker B: He slinks off the bed and comes over to you, Will, on all fours and starts circling around you.
[00:36:08] Speaker C: Uh oh.
[00:36:11] Speaker B: What's happening?
[00:36:13] Speaker A: Okay, what does this mean?
[00:36:14] Speaker B: The musky scent is quite strong.
[00:36:17] Speaker A: Ew.
[00:36:19] Speaker D: Christ.
[00:36:20] Speaker A: Okay, so what do you do? Like, what do. What does this mean? I am going to.
I. Okay. Sorry, Ferret, I am not. I don't really do that in general.
[00:36:35] Speaker B: Do what?
[00:36:36] Speaker A: Things like this? Please. No, I. I also am not an animal. I. I think that there's something there. I don't know.
[00:36:43] Speaker B: We're all animals.
[00:36:44] Speaker A: You lived as a human for a while. I think that you, as a human, would not do anything with an animal. Correct. You and Chloe were not an item.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: That's correct.
[00:36:54] Speaker A: Okay, so, like, you understand the position you're putting me in. There are plenty of other things I could probably do or the rest of us could do.
Require that, I don't know, fix your ship?
[00:37:04] Speaker C: I could.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: I could do that. I can fix it.
[00:37:09] Speaker C: We could put on some pretty good entertainment for the passengers. We could do a talent show.
Okay, again, a talent show?
[00:37:21] Speaker A: Sure. Yes. Let's do a talent show. And I will fix the hole in your wall. And what kind of food do you like? Do you like fish? We could catch a bunch of fish for you.
Roll to see if I can determine what this ferret wants with my con man powers by reading. Can I read a ferret? My read is that he wants. Wants to have sex with me, which is not fun. So, yeah, Will is just, like, trying to figure out what he thinks. What? Like, what would make you happy?
[00:37:58] Speaker B: Well, I'm still trying to get used to this form again.
But it's interesting to see you squirm a little bit.
[00:38:08] Speaker A: Okay, I squirm a lot. All right. You would watch me squirm? That could be my talent. I could do it.
[00:38:14] Speaker B: I squirm, too. And he squirms around like a ferret.
[00:38:21] Speaker A: What do ferrets like? Guys, what do ferrets like?
[00:38:24] Speaker B: Well, okay. Fix my walls. Plan this talent show. I'm interested to see what that's going to be. You all have to participate, though.
[00:38:34] Speaker C: You got it.
[00:38:36] Speaker A: All right, so we have to caper about for a God's whim, everybody. What else do God's. Like, what are gods like? Do you want us to.
[00:38:44] Speaker D: My talent just putting holes in walls. Should I do some more of that for you?
[00:38:50] Speaker C: Why are you being sassy, Bathwack?
[00:38:53] Speaker A: Bathwack? You must have other talents.
[00:38:57] Speaker D: How's this guy any different than the dark powers?
Because we need gods. Slivers. Whatever.
[00:39:03] Speaker A: We need the ship to get to the actual sliver. You think he's a sliver?
[00:39:10] Speaker D: What did you hear, Will? Are we even supposed to be killing these slivers?
[00:39:14] Speaker A: What?
[00:39:14] Speaker D: What is going on?
[00:39:15] Speaker A: What do you mean, what did I hear?
[00:39:18] Speaker B: He's talking about that shared dream you guys had.
[00:39:20] Speaker D: What did you say to me?
[00:39:22] Speaker A: I didn't say anything to you. There was a discussion, I guess, with an entity that claimed to be a dark power.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: The swirly man claimed.
[00:39:33] Speaker A: And I said, get the out of here. If you guys heard what I said, then you know that I didn't betray any of you. Okay? I told it to off what has happened to me. Okay, so this Ferret is our key to getting to your hometown, buddy. We need to appease him so we can get there. We can't face Juliet Rush, or we. The whole. This whole past few days has been because we're trying to avoid Juliette Rescher, because she killed somebody with a single word.
[00:40:06] Speaker D: But we're just doing what this thing wants us to do. And now we're gonna do what this captain wants us to do.
[00:40:13] Speaker C: Well, to be fair, we did screw up the ship, so I'd like to fairly make up for that.
[00:40:17] Speaker D: Yeah, sure.
[00:40:18] Speaker A: The Captain was very kind to us for a while.
Until we fucked it up.
[00:40:29] Speaker D: Sure. I mean, I suppose he could just kill us.
[00:40:33] Speaker A: Now look at the Ferret. What is the Ferret? What is the Ferret doing?
[00:40:36] Speaker B: We'll also have to talk about that gentleman you stashed back down in the control room.
[00:40:43] Speaker D: What about him? Why do you have it out for him?
[00:40:47] Speaker B: Not him, specifically. Him generally.
[00:40:52] Speaker D: What's that mean?
[00:40:54] Speaker B: Well, I don't know about you, but I took it personally when a group of people who I thought were loyal to me decided to benefit from my death in such a way so quickly. Idiots.
[00:41:13] Speaker A: Oh, Ferret, they are idiots. Most people are. Please understand, I deal with this all the time. People are dumb everywhere across this.
[00:41:21] Speaker B: So you don't want that man to die either?
[00:41:24] Speaker A: I don't give a. About whoever. I just. We just need the boat to get to Gully's End. Keep whoever you need to. Please get it to Gully's End. If you don't need anybody, I don't care. Please, do your own thing. Whatever you want to do. We just need to get to Gully's End.
[00:41:43] Speaker B: This is interesting.
[00:41:44] Speaker A: I look at Bathwack. Does Bathwack want to kill me?
[00:41:49] Speaker D: Not yet, Captain.
[00:41:52] Speaker C: What would.
Has it done any good for your soul to get rid of the whole crew in that violent manner?
[00:41:59] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:42:02] Speaker C: How. How do you know?
[00:42:04] Speaker B: Oh, it just feels good.
[00:42:07] Speaker C: That's not your soul, Captain.
[00:42:10] Speaker D: Are you at all worried about these dark powers? Do you even know what we're talking about?
[00:42:14] Speaker B: I mean, like I said, not really.
[00:42:17] Speaker D: Do you think you'll go away when we kill it?
Do you think you won't even be here Anymore.
[00:42:25] Speaker B: I mean, I don't. I'm not worried about my existence, per se. It's nothing I've ever had to worry about, really.
[00:42:33] Speaker D: I mean, you probably won't notice. You don't even know they're here.
[00:42:39] Speaker B: No, but if you feel like it's important. I mean, again, if you can make things right, then I can get you there.
[00:42:52] Speaker D: So you don't really care what's right?
[00:42:55] Speaker B: I don't know what's right. I don't know. I don't have enough information, Bathwack.
[00:43:00] Speaker A: It's right to go kill the dark powers in Gully's End. Think of your wife and your child and my brother, who is on his way to your family.
[00:43:11] Speaker D: Oh, look, I know Will. I'm still going there.
[00:43:14] Speaker B: Well, why don't you guys go fix the wall and plan your show and maybe figure out amongst yourselves what you're gonna do with that last remaining crew member.
Wait, there's another one missing?
[00:43:33] Speaker C: There's another one missing.
[00:43:34] Speaker A: Are you in character? It's the one that was the guard that you put in the bureau room.
[00:43:39] Speaker B: It was in character.
[00:43:40] Speaker A: Okay. It was in character.
Well, he would. He know.
[00:43:45] Speaker B: Does he say, I'm just watching Alex give multiple thumbs up.
[00:43:49] Speaker D: I'm. I'm trying to get it to do the thumbs up that it did for you. A little thumbs up bubble. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:43:56] Speaker F: I just. I just. I just got one question before we go.
[00:44:00] Speaker B: Yep.
[00:44:06] Speaker F: God's as lonely as we are.
[00:44:10] Speaker B: How lonely are you?
[00:44:16] Speaker F: Pretty lonely.
[00:44:18] Speaker B: You guys hear this? This guy you're spending all your time with is lonely.
[00:44:24] Speaker A: Will looks at him with very sad eyes.
At Roscoe?
[00:44:33] Speaker B: No. Mocking sad eyes.
[00:44:40] Speaker A: No, he, like. He, like, drags his eyes over there. Like, I feel that. But he doesn't say that out loud.
[00:44:48] Speaker F: You. You didn't answer my question.
[00:44:51] Speaker B: I don't have any frame of reference. I need to know how lonely you are before I know whether it's as lonely as I am.
[00:44:59] Speaker E: Roscoe's gonna head for the door. He passes. He goes up to Bathwack, and he's.
[00:45:05] Speaker B: Like.
[00:45:10] Speaker F: This guy's almost as bad as the captivating Coyote.
All right, I'm gonna go get ready for the talent show.
[00:45:19] Speaker E: And he walks out.
[00:45:22] Speaker A: This feels like a community of. All right, I'm gonna go get ready for after all this very serious sad shit. Get ready for the talent show.
[00:45:31] Speaker C: Rafina says, roscoe, wait. And she runs after him and awkwardly pats him on the shoulder and then gives him a big hug and then runs back into the room.
[00:45:47] Speaker B: Now there's that Rafina? I like.
[00:45:51] Speaker F: Gross.
[00:45:51] Speaker A: Yeah, like, what the.
Okay. Are we allowed to go?
[00:46:01] Speaker B: Yeah, go ahead.
He goes over to the bar and. And pulls off a. A bottle from the shelf and goes over to his bed.
[00:46:12] Speaker A: Oh, God. I don't want to leave before Rafina.
[00:46:16] Speaker C: Rafina is waiting at the door for you to. For you and Bathwack and whoever else is there.
[00:46:23] Speaker D: Seven other people.
[00:46:24] Speaker A: She.
A terrarium.
[00:46:28] Speaker C: Yeah.
Rafini gets into the terrarium and they trot off.
[00:46:33] Speaker F: No.
[00:46:34] Speaker A: And paddles across the ocean to get the fuck out of here.
Oh, my God. Is Bethweck leaving?
[00:46:42] Speaker D: Yeah, I'll leave with the whiskey.
[00:46:46] Speaker C: That takes the whiskey bottle.
[00:46:48] Speaker B: Doesn't stop you.
[00:46:52] Speaker A: Okay.
Will, like, waits for everyone to leave and then, like, awkwardly, like, does a weird kind of bow that he never does. He doesn't ever respect any gods, but right now, everything is so precarious. And Will's like, the plot plan. So he shows a little deference and walks out the door.
[00:47:15] Speaker E: Wow.
[00:47:18] Speaker B: Close it.
[00:47:20] Speaker A: He definitely closes it.
[00:47:23] Speaker D: Let's go find the albatross.
[00:47:27] Speaker A: He can hear you, says will.
[00:47:31] Speaker D: I don't care.
[00:47:35] Speaker B: So Bathwack says, let's go find the albatross.
I don't know where you're gonna fit that in amongst your wall fixing and talent showing, but I think we're gonna find out. Next time on Pork Fried Dice.
[00:47:52] Speaker A: What the heck?
[00:47:54] Speaker E: Jesus Christ. I was so close to having Roscoe Wild shape into a ferret and fuck this guy.
[00:48:02] Speaker A: Cause what is.
[00:48:04] Speaker D: Oh, it's still on the table.
[00:48:06] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:48:06] Speaker B: Really?
[00:48:09] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
I don't know what to do.
[00:48:16] Speaker D: So I'm actually.
[00:48:17] Speaker B: So.
[00:48:17] Speaker D: I'm confused about.
I have to go back. To what? To the notes about this conversation with whoever you were talking to or whoever Will was talking to.
[00:48:32] Speaker E: Well, we repeated the whole thing, me and Abby.
I thought we were quite clear.
[00:48:38] Speaker C: Very. It was lucid.
[00:48:41] Speaker D: So I'm confused. So our. Our notes are in reverse alphabetical order.
[00:48:46] Speaker E: I moved.
[00:48:46] Speaker D: Reverse alphabetical? Yeah.
[00:48:48] Speaker A: Reverse alphabetical?
[00:48:50] Speaker B: Yeah, by every word that starts with a vet and then every word that starts with Y.
[00:48:58] Speaker D: Oh, my God.
Like, I. I mean, we're not going to understand all of that, but this thing about the thing about swirly wants you to succeed.
It told Will different.
[00:49:16] Speaker E: He told Will that it wants us to succeed in defeating the dark powers, the slivers or whatever. Yeah. And then I think Will asked it, like, are you one of them? Or like, are you with? And he's like, like, no, I'm separate from that. And I want you to win. And I could Help. I could give you a leg up. And Will rejected his offer.
[00:49:42] Speaker C: And he intimated that we were losers.
[00:49:47] Speaker E: Willed it or this.
[00:49:48] Speaker C: No, no. Sorry. The swirly, man.
[00:49:54] Speaker D: It's just.
But it's just weird, right? Because it. What are we doing?
[00:50:01] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:50:01] Speaker B: It's.
[00:50:02] Speaker D: Nothing is clearly taking us anywhere good.
[00:50:05] Speaker C: Right?
[00:50:06] Speaker E: I miss Ian. Ian was cool.
[00:50:10] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
He's so laid back.
[00:50:14] Speaker E: I think every God we've met's seeing has been a piece of.
[00:50:21] Speaker C: And now we don't play for a couple weeks, man.
[00:50:24] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:50:25] Speaker C: It's Sunday the 11th.
[00:50:26] Speaker A: Is that right?
[00:50:27] Speaker E: Next recap is KT. How is KT gonna manage not to.
[00:50:32] Speaker F: Be brilliant in the recap?
[00:50:33] Speaker A: Well, I probably will just do what I usually do.
[00:50:37] Speaker C: Brilliance.
[00:50:38] Speaker A: I'm not gonna. I'm not. I don't. I don't believe in deescalation. I don't believe in.
I don't believe in. I mean, I'm. I'm. I'm cool with de escalation. I'm just saying I don't. I have no chill about anything.
[00:50:52] Speaker E: Yeah. Dem's fighting, but I do.
[00:50:55] Speaker C: You gotta. Gotta own it.
[00:50:56] Speaker A: I have no idea what I'm gonna do, though. So maybe I won't have an idea. And it will be a de escalation, but it won't be on purpose if that's what happens.
[00:51:04] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:51:09] Speaker E: Boy, oh, boy. Well, it's fun.
[00:51:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:51:13] Speaker C: Yeah. Good session.
[00:51:15] Speaker A: I have no.
[00:51:15] Speaker C: Painful.
[00:51:16] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:51:17] Speaker D: Yeah.
[00:51:17] Speaker A: Like, I feel really weird because, like, I feel like, am I being a b. Like, am I being a annoying player or anything? I. I just feel like Will is very much like we need to stay on task. We need to do this. Like, this is our way to get to go.
[00:51:33] Speaker E: Actually. I love the dynamic. I think you're. You're bringing like the, like the momentum and the energy of, like, sticking with the story. And I love the dynamic of Will being the one to be so passionate about, like, sticking to the plan.
The plan involving, you know, Gully's End and Bathwick's family. Like, I just, like. I think it's. I think it's interesting.
[00:52:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:52:02] Speaker E: Because it's making kind of.
[00:52:04] Speaker B: Yeah. It's making you be more of a kiss ass.
[00:52:07] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:52:08] Speaker B: Where.
[00:52:08] Speaker E: Yeah.
[00:52:09] Speaker B: You're usually the one that defies authority.
[00:52:12] Speaker E: It's some interesting. It's. It's like Locke and Echo in season two of Lost. It's like, that's not for anybody here. I guess it's just for me, but it's been too long since I've seen it.
[00:52:23] Speaker B: I haven't seen that whole show, but I definitely watched that season.
[00:52:26] Speaker A: That's the old guy I remember. And Echo was a big black guy. I just. That's all I remember. I don't. I don't really remember much about it at all.
[00:52:34] Speaker E: They. In season two, they, like, come across, like, I guess, another hatch with, like, videotapes and stuff. Another hatch and, like, more information about the island, and it's more mystery, and it leads Locke to lose faith in the island and to kind and. And. And that it all has meaning. But it leads to Echo, like, doubling down and saying, no, this means more than ever now.
And just kind of an interesting dynamic.
Maybe it's more like just more like Captain Civil War with Tony being the rule follower, which is so weird. Captain America being the.
[00:53:19] Speaker A: But, like, that's why I feel like I'm fucking up, because I'm like, I don't understand, Like, Will's like, I don't understand why we're not just. We need to get to Gully's End and kill this dark power. Nothing else matters. That's what we need to do. Because, first of all, like, Bathwack's been worried about his family, and I, like, let my brother go and do that. And, like, that's a big concern for Will.
[00:53:42] Speaker D: Super invested now.
[00:53:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:44] Speaker D: And clearly also a friend of Batwack to be willing to do that.
[00:53:48] Speaker A: Well. Right. And now Bathwick's so mad and mean, and I don't get it.
[00:53:54] Speaker E: I think it's awesome you're not up. It's great role playing, and I d. D is. Is just great engine for collaborative storytelling. And I, I. I love it, and I love playing with you guys. And I'm not. I'm not lonely when I play these. Roscoe. Roscoe might be, but I'm not.
[00:54:11] Speaker A: I don't want Roscoe to be, like, Will is so lonely too. Like, that's what I. That's why it's hard, because he doesn't, you know, he doesn't say things like that. But that's why I gave you the eyes. I don't know if even Roscoe saw it, but Roscoe saw him.
[00:54:24] Speaker E: He interpreted it as let's us. Oh, that's just because of the. I think it's because of the flirtatious.
[00:54:30] Speaker B: Fairness or just the talent show idea.
[00:54:33] Speaker A: Wow. Yeah. Oh, my God. He's gonna throw us off this boat or he's gonna eat us or something.
[00:54:39] Speaker E: Because of the talent show.
[00:54:43] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. It's weird. Like, it is very weird to feel like, okay, now we gotta put on a talent show, guys. Let's do it.
[00:54:51] Speaker D: And you're just saving. You're welcome, Bathwack. And Sean, at this point, because the captain just wanted to throw us off.
[00:54:58] Speaker A: Yeah. But, like, essential to the plan, right? Like, we need to protect battle. Like, I'm not crazy, right? Like, I'm not being annoying.
[00:55:07] Speaker C: I'm.
[00:55:07] Speaker A: No, no, no, no, no, you're not.
[00:55:09] Speaker B: It'd be like if. If Rafina decided, okay, I'll stay on the ship. You guys go.
[00:55:15] Speaker C: Well, the thing is.
Yeah. I mean, we're just.
There's been so much ambiguity cast on what really is the dark power that we need to sort of prioritize.
[00:55:29] Speaker D: Yeah. No, no. Yeah. So Batwick's still going to Gully's End. I mean, obviously, but you know.
[00:55:33] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:55:34] Speaker D: To be like, his attitude's like, fine, like, screw this. You're gonna kick me off the ship. I'll paddle my way over there. I'll be undercover. I'll fish my way to Gully's End. Whatever. Like, screw you guys.
[00:55:45] Speaker E: You know, we have to do. We have to have a scheme within a scheme? We have to fake Bathwick's death again on the ship.
[00:55:53] Speaker D: The captain be like, you can stop trying.
[00:55:56] Speaker A: I know, and this is what I'm saying. Like, this is going to be really weird for role playing or playing this game, because it seems like he knows everything that goes on on the ship. So that's going to be. The talent show. Can do anything.
[00:56:07] Speaker D: You're going to kill me.
[00:56:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. That's a good talent.
[00:56:11] Speaker D: Oh, sorry I talked over you, though.
[00:56:13] Speaker A: No, it's okay. I. Like, I just. I. It's going to be really weird to.
To. I don't know, like, to do anything with, like, the knowledge that someone is overlooking or overhearing everything.
[00:56:28] Speaker C: Right.
[00:56:30] Speaker E: I guess it just means that the subterfuge is no longer really an option.
[00:56:37] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:56:37] Speaker E: Maybe we've got to suck this ferret.
[00:56:43] Speaker A: That's the only option.
[00:56:44] Speaker C: I mean, sort of. To that point, I. We. I am wondering what we can. What we can still. I can't say. Get out of him.
[00:56:52] Speaker B: You said pursuing to that point.
[00:56:56] Speaker E: We've got a very obvious answer here. This ferret is crushing in Rafina.
We will pimp you out to a.
[00:57:04] Speaker C: Yeah, but he didn't ask. He didn't ask like he was going after Will.
[00:57:09] Speaker B: I think he was trying to make you.
[00:57:11] Speaker A: It was very. There was a moment there, too, where, like, when we were. When I looked at Rafina there. Like, that is distinctly part of Will's. History with his sister and this crime boss. That's why he. Like, I could not even. That's why this whole time, that's so good. This whole time I was like, okay, this is not okay. Like, this is that layer of character there. Yeah.
[00:57:34] Speaker E: Amazing.
[00:57:37] Speaker A: Yikes.
[00:57:37] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:57:38] Speaker C: I mean, but like, how much worse is it going to be if we're on the ferrets bad side? And is it worth trying to get on the Ferret's good side?
[00:57:46] Speaker A: I'm worried that at this point, if we get on his bad side again, it might just be a fight. And I'm not actually worried about that because I think we could maybe kill him. I don't know. Can we kill a God? Maybe we killed the Dark Power. But like, wait, I think we said.
[00:57:57] Speaker E: We weren't going to this ferret. You're talking about us getting on its bad side side.
[00:58:00] Speaker A: Like we shouldn't be getting on this bad side.
But for real, like, yeah, I like, I don't know.
[00:58:12] Speaker B: Me neither.
[00:58:14] Speaker A: You're in charge too. That's not good.
[00:58:18] Speaker C: That's not good.
[00:58:21] Speaker D: We also probably don't care that the captain knows that Bathwack's Bathwack. He has no idea what the Dark Powers are. He doesn't seem to give a crap about anything that's going on.
[00:58:28] Speaker A: If Juliet Rusher flies up to the ship. That's what I keep Will keep sp picturing Juliet Rusher like flying up to the ship at some point.
[00:58:35] Speaker D: And all we have to do is ensure that she damages the ship and she's screwed.
[00:58:39] Speaker A: Yeah, there we go. F versus Juliet Rusher. Yeah.
[00:58:42] Speaker B: Good luck putting on a talent show, Juliet.
[00:58:45] Speaker E: Y I. Oh God. I Last minute addition to the talent show sign up sheet. Julian Rush.
That's amazing.
She tap dances.
[00:58:59] Speaker A: It's been a while.
[00:59:02] Speaker E: I. Last time I did this, I was a little girl.
[00:59:07] Speaker A: Oh my gosh. Wow. Amazing.
[00:59:12] Speaker B: We're still recording, so this is all. Let's just keep going.
[00:59:16] Speaker C: This is the next episode.
[00:59:17] Speaker A: Oh my gosh.
I don't know what to do. I feel so scared every time we play now on this ship. I just want to get off this damn ship. I swear to God I want to get off this dang ship.
[00:59:29] Speaker D: Will's just gonna go in the lifeboat.
[00:59:30] Speaker A: Yeah. You know what he'd be like. Can you just send me. I should have said that. Can you just send me on the lifeboat? Like just send me. Everyone else keep up the charade. I'll just go off with Sha in to go.
We'll on the lifeboat. You know Whatever.
[00:59:47] Speaker E: I. I can't get over. I can't get over it. Eric, I demand that Juliet Rusher being the talent. She could.
[00:59:53] Speaker B: She could.
[00:59:54] Speaker E: She could.
[00:59:55] Speaker B: She.
[00:59:55] Speaker E: Her talent can be like casting power word kill on like a series of bottles on the other side of the stage.
[01:00:04] Speaker A: And then when she casts it as many times as she can, then we strike.
[01:00:08] Speaker E: Yes.
[01:00:11] Speaker C: We have a plan.
[01:00:12] Speaker A: Oh, hell yeah. Juliet, come to the talent show. We should just start blaring that like there must be like a megaphone or like a. A horn we could modify on the boat.
[01:00:21] Speaker B: Yeah, Will's like, she's empty. So Rosco stands up and she has one left.
[01:00:26] Speaker A: Oh, no.
Not lonely anymore.
[01:00:35] Speaker B: You're with Chloe now?
[01:00:36] Speaker F: Pretty dead.
[01:00:38] Speaker A: I cannot believe this. Ferret. It was. That's so amazing. Ferret. Jesus. Or whatever.
[01:00:45] Speaker E: I want to know.
And Eric, you don't have to answer this question, but I'm so curious. Like, was that right, like, all along, like, you knew what this captain was.
[01:01:00] Speaker B: And KT knows the answer to that.
You can tell them.
[01:01:06] Speaker A: He. I asked about that ferret coming out of the body and I was like, is this like your plan all along? And he said, no, no, I love it.
[01:01:20] Speaker E: That's the Vince gilligan approach to DMing. It's just like.
[01:01:23] Speaker B: Yeah, I did come up with it at the moment. I will say that.
[01:01:28] Speaker A: Yeah, he said. You did say it was like, sometime.
[01:01:31] Speaker B: Okay, it was. It was earlier that day.
[01:01:35] Speaker E: I love it. It's amazing.
[01:01:37] Speaker A: Wow.
[01:01:39] Speaker C: It's really amazing.
[01:01:40] Speaker A: Okay, well, it works.
[01:01:43] Speaker B: Hope so.
[01:01:45] Speaker A: Now I'm trying to think of like, wow. Okay.
Wow.
