[SPEAKER_08]: Last time, on Roseville Beach, it all started.
[SPEAKER_03]: And night that I entered, the Roseville Pearl.
[SPEAKER_03]: A statue, a beautiful, very well-crafted statue of a sailor.
[SPEAKER_00]: Atticus remembers the sound of glass shattering and flames roaring as a theater full of hundreds of people.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's raised to the ground.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think that I know how to fix this, and we have to lay to rest all of these dead people.
[SPEAKER_11]: I can't believe I'm going to say this.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think Lou is the right idea.
[SPEAKER_02]: He's done it again, where he is promised an aspect of himself to immortal.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is a very, very bad habit that he is forming.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mysterious, let's shine along the ocean bay Part two, resist the thrills upon the summer haze Together on the beach, we'll turn the night to day Adventurers on the beach, so come along again
[SPEAKER_01]: Roseville Beach, the ghosts like to play Monsters hide, but they won't stay Roseville Beach, with the game that they found We'll turn this town right, back around Blue knows there's no broken thing that she can't feel At your service
[SPEAKER_01]: magic that comes from moss powers the way Jaylee by Maywax Ari and this quest for love includes some fishy tricks Oh, I'm a real Together these three will surely have you transtext
[SPEAKER_01]: Roseville Beach.
[SPEAKER_01]: The ghosts like to play.
[SPEAKER_01]: Monsters hide, but they won't stay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Roseville Beach with the gang that they found.
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll turn this town right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I go right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, you are contacted by a friend from a former time, actually a mentor of sorts.
[SPEAKER_03]: Luis, somebody who is giving you lots of jobs throughout Roosevelt Beach, throughout your decade here, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: And Luis has been...
[SPEAKER_03]: really needing help.
[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, he kind of contacted you and when he did, he sounded like he had been exerting himself.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's getting to an older age, usually he has his team to kind of work on that, but for some reason, he has gone out of his way to personally be building and working on the construction for the new record studio opening on this history.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shaps of sunlight, peer through sort of like the material that is covering up the workspace as you are
[SPEAKER_08]: I mean, literally, I think that Louis would ask for Louis would be helping, but I think maybe specifically at this moment, she is building the record holder boxes that will slot all of the records for sale in.
[SPEAKER_03]: As you're doing that, Louis kind of, he's got like measuring tape as he's figuring out the dimensions of space, he's has chalk, he's marking up the area, he's chatting with you,
[SPEAKER_08]: the first day on the job, which was not loose first time meeting Louise, but it did feel to her like the first time she had to make like a really big impression upon him.
[SPEAKER_08]: They were headed up to the fourth floor of the hotel to fix the faucet in one of the bathrooms.
[SPEAKER_08]: And as they were going up in the elevator, it malfunctioned in blue, decided.
[SPEAKER_08]: to prove herself as a mechanic, that she was gonna climb up the door in the roof of the elevator into the shaft to fix it.
[SPEAKER_08]: But about halfway up, the elevator started moving again.
[SPEAKER_08]: And she had literally completely toned out Luis saying this happens.
[SPEAKER_08]: multiple times a day.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's just how the elevator works.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's fine.
[SPEAKER_08]: Get back inside.
[SPEAKER_08]: Don't do this.
[SPEAKER_08]: And like dropped back down and like had to realize that she had totally like just ignored his whole warning about how things work.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so I think that their relationship is based a lot off of this man who knows how things work versus Lou who assumes that she just needs to fix everything.
[SPEAKER_08]: And that was kind of the beginning of that sort of relationship that they had.
[SPEAKER_03]: See, you're remembering this time, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Luis's laughing is kind of chuckle into himself.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you can tell that he's in quite a bit of discomfort and pain and, you know, he's like rolling his shoulder back and out as he's going at a slower pace.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mentioned it before, but he is getting older, you know, he should have probably retired a while ago.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's when somebody sort of parts through the sheets.
[SPEAKER_03]: and calls Louis Soker.
[SPEAKER_03]: He disappears for a few minutes and comes back with almost like a disgruntled disposition as he sits down.
[SPEAKER_03]: He pulls over a chair.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's like a beach chair.
[SPEAKER_03]: He actually kind of has it as army folds out.
[SPEAKER_03]: He sits down in it.
[SPEAKER_03]: He reaches into the cooler and he takes out a drink like cracks it open, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: As it sort of likes
[SPEAKER_03]: Fizz is over because it's been thrown around a little bit too much.
[SPEAKER_03]: Cast like hold it out for himself as the foam drips off and he wipes his hands off on his overalls.
[SPEAKER_08]: I couldn't get ice for you.
[SPEAKER_08]: We couldn't get ice.
[SPEAKER_03]: Eh, yeah, you know what, Lou, it's uh, you can take this one all uh, I'll get it to for one.
[SPEAKER_03]: As he's handing you this dripping drink.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think they're all gonna be the same, but I'll do it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'll do it.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're probably right.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just me all of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: as he pulls out this little blackbook for his pocket and the pencil from behind is ear.
[SPEAKER_03]: And he's sort of like strikes out a name.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, he starts muttering to himself.
[SPEAKER_07]: I got two questions for you, Luis.
[SPEAKER_08]: First question is, who, what appointment are we not doing anymore?
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, that's uh, I wish it wasn't appointment glue.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is uh, one of my guys working down at another site.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
[SPEAKER_03]: to get a more proper hospital treatment.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess they got injured on their last site.
[SPEAKER_03]: Makes the fifth one this month.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh well, we're actually, you might wanna call that six.
[SPEAKER_08]: We're like pulling into my second question here, which is what the fuck is up with your arm?
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, this is, you know, I just, I think I've just been, I think I've just been stressed.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think I've just been working a little bit too hard, you know, I think, just a good night's sleep, but I'll be fine.
[SPEAKER_08]: too much of a coincidence if people on your jobs are getting her and you're kind of her right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Can I just take a look?
[SPEAKER_08]: I picked up some first aid training.
[SPEAKER_08]: I might be able to tell you if you need to go to the hospital or not.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's how you know I'm getting too old as when you start to be the one Telling me to slow down.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I go ahead.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, and I'm gonna take a look at his shoulder.
[SPEAKER_03]: Luis doesn't need to take a break.
[SPEAKER_03]: He is injured his arm in such a way that if he keeps working, it's going to get worse.
[SPEAKER_03]: In a way that won't just be discomforting, but will actually seriously injured him.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's hard to diagnose like where the injury came from, but you can definitely see some similarities with
[SPEAKER_03]: an injury you've been dealing with too.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, this is some sort of like pulled muscle or some sort of injury to their rotator, the ability to lift the ability to maneuver to rotate to push is being hindered by this, which building an entire records studio is going to require.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think then Lou actually still has an arm, even though it was relocated, still has an arm in a sling.
[SPEAKER_08]: At this point, and as she's checking over, Louie's goes, hey listen, I think the best thing to do would for us to become twins.
[SPEAKER_03]: He wins as he sort of like crosses his arms.
[SPEAKER_03]: Look, Lou, I got to be completely honest with you.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the fifth guy I've lost to injuries this week and I can't stop working at, you know, I got to keep cash flowing in.
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, if you don't stop working, you'll be forced to stop working.
[SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got you.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got me?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're in your two, Lou.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sure.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, but I'm more healed than you are.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll tell you a bookloom.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna take the rest of the day off.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna go home.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna rest.
[SPEAKER_03]: You are free to do whatever you want.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, I'll give you a total creative freedom with this project.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just don't go hurt in yourself, okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, of course not.
[SPEAKER_08]: And when you come back tomorrow, you're not even gonna believe how much I got done.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you kind of chuckle some self as he walks off and he sort of like waves his finger into the air.
[SPEAKER_03]: Disiluno any of the guys who have been hurt recently and what types of jobs they were on you know a lot of people and and there there are people a few people on the island to you've kind of worked with but There's actually been a lot of construction on the island recently.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean this record studio is a very special one because it is a Rose will be to regular that is starting up a new label, but there are a few other job sites on the island.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a surf shop that's being remodeled and there is a new fancy hotel, honestly, not too far away from the Beach House that is also being built.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you've heard about some accidents, maybe not anything super specific, but there is one person who probably heard through the grapevine is adamant about not returning to work.
[SPEAKER_03]: they have completely stopped working, they are telling everyone they're trying to they're organizing even like strikes against the company that they work for.
[SPEAKER_08]: And they don't work for Louis though, to a different company.
[SPEAKER_03]: They used to work for Louis, they used to work with you, but they recently left work in for Louis for a higher paying job.
[SPEAKER_08]: But that's not a necessarily like a thread.
[SPEAKER_08]: Louis can draw from because there are people who are still working for
[SPEAKER_03]: everyone who it was in the least as a book that was crossed off from the schedule had gone injured and it was at least five people.
[SPEAKER_03]: One of them you know for a fact work for movies, but doesn't anymore.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think as she's kind of putting some plywood against each other and hammering nails in one arm up against it to hold it and the other one actually doing work, she's just kind of thinking that she could be next and like out of the blue, not normal pessimistic thought from Lou.
[SPEAKER_08]: But she's been her before in this line of work, so maybe it's nothing, but there's like a itching at the base of her skull that adds it's too coincidental.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I think she'll like finish out that day working by herself until she's supposed to end.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's not gonna make
[SPEAKER_03]: release payer over time and we'll leave at days and make me a role to see how we need to if you want to make the process go faster or with more special flair to it you can also roll on the trouble table.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think I might do that actually because I think I'm going to have a significant amount of dice so I feel okay doing that.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I'm going to put four in goal, I'll put a three
[SPEAKER_03]: It's taking longer than you expected.
[SPEAKER_03]: The sun is going down and you've had to like set up lights in order to get the work done that was supposed to be done today so that you are at least kind of on track to get close to that deadline.
[SPEAKER_03]: Without more people working on it, you're not gonna hit the deadline.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you were able to get enough done today.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wanna know what the persistent thought in your head about you getting hurt is.
[SPEAKER_08]: The persistent thought of my head is that I'm going to have to walk home and make a phone call to Annie because she's going to tell me what I actually should be doing to avoid further injury.
[SPEAKER_08]: And maybe she'll also have advice on whether or not Louis should be going to a hospital.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: She just seems to be maybe a little bit more tuned in
[SPEAKER_08]: And it's not that Lou doesn't like calling Annie, it's just like, she's not really supposed to just do it really nearly.
[SPEAKER_08]: And this feels to Lou like a Willie Nilly phone calls, so she's in her head, she's like, I don't call her.
[SPEAKER_08]: on the way home.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't call her before I leave.
[SPEAKER_08]: I shouldn't do that, but I got to know but she's gonna be so mad if I just call her for nothing and all my goodness and like that's what's going through this head.
[SPEAKER_08]: At the same time that Lou is like, why are people getting hurt so much?
[SPEAKER_08]: That's odd.
[SPEAKER_08]: People get hurt on construction jobs all the time.
[SPEAKER_08]: People get hurt in the repair industry all of the time.
[SPEAKER_08]: The fact that Louis knows five guys who've been injured in the like the last week weird, too weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: But maybe Annie would have wouldn't know what to do with them, too.
[SPEAKER_08]: Maybe we can get them all help.
[SPEAKER_03]: As these thoughts are going through your head, as you're ending your work day, you're walking back home.
[SPEAKER_03]: pull out your keys, you know, just step over the one broken floorboard on the wooden steps up to your raised beach house and you sort of like pull yourself up, you unlock the door, you enter in.
[SPEAKER_03]: The camera's gonna pass you and linger on Ariana.
[SPEAKER_02]: I am attempting to make pancakes in the beach house kitchen.
[SPEAKER_02]: and he is leaning against one of the like cabinets in the kitchen and it is, it is a mess.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's like eggs in a car and that's opened up.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's like milk.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's definitely like splashes of pancake mix on like the counter.
[SPEAKER_02]: There is a really looking at the back of a box trying to read through and see how to get the proper coloration.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see this plenty of other
[SPEAKER_02]: but they don't quite look like the ones in the box.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that is infuriating him a little bit.
[SPEAKER_11]: If Ariana's cooking, then I think she's there for like moral support?
[SPEAKER_11]: No, okay, yeah, that's keep, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's how you do that?
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, you don't need to, I want the really nice color like they have.
[SPEAKER_11]: On the books, her box is a lie.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's about what's in your heart.
[SPEAKER_02]: You see that
[SPEAKER_02]: his brows are for road in frustration.
[SPEAKER_02]: You can tell that he's like banked some sort of expectations, some sort of like grand experience to what these pancakes turn out like he has set maybe a little too much of his pride into ensuring this comes up perfectly.
[SPEAKER_02]: And then you see him like take a little slice of
[SPEAKER_02]: So he's good.
[SPEAKER_02]: He still tastes really good.
[SPEAKER_02]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: You mentioned your ancient U.D.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as soon as he says that he turns C's new, like, the entrance of the space, walk off, slide the bathroom door shut.
[SPEAKER_02]: Good evening to you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Looks over at ALIX.
[SPEAKER_02]: Are you looking or am I?
[SPEAKER_02]: Am I entering Silla's slayer there?
[SPEAKER_02]: You stay doing that, I will make myself useful.
[SPEAKER_02]: As soon as you say that, he goes over to the radio and discos us playing, I see, like, continues cooking.
[SPEAKER_11]: Don't push her luck.
[SPEAKER_11]: Ha ha ha.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's evening, she's got her, like, evening beer with her, and she's just gonna go over to the bathroom and like lean against the wall and like knock on the door.
[SPEAKER_11]: You good, huh?
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I'll be honest with that.
[SPEAKER_11]: Okay, all right, it was just worried.
[SPEAKER_11]: and ancient Greek monster.
[SPEAKER_11]: Whoa!
[SPEAKER_11]: Day that ends in why.
[SPEAKER_11]: Listen, he's been making pancakes for like four hours.
[SPEAKER_11]: He won't stop, he's gone through two whole boxes of mix.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't, please tell me you have literally anything else to do.
[SPEAKER_08]: The door opens and loses face.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's like dripping wet like she just splashed her with water and she was like, yeah, no, I won't pancakes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, no, sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: I just, I gotta make a phone call and I want to make sure I looked good.
[SPEAKER_11]: Her, I just like twitches just a little bit.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this your not girlfriend person you're speaking to again?
[SPEAKER_08]: Alright, I don't know what you're talking about, just make your pancakes.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, I'm gonna eat all of them.
[SPEAKER_11]: I have a full stack.
[SPEAKER_11]: Oh, we're calling the not girlfriend.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, well, yes, but not, oh my goodness.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it's not like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not like that.
[SPEAKER_08]: And he's a friend.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's not like my non-girlfriend.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's just my friend.
[SPEAKER_10]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_08]: There were some shit going down at work today that I thought was kind of weird.
[SPEAKER_08]: Actually, in Lou Grabs, one of the hand towels and the bathroom just wipes her face and then hangs it back up and walks out and just the light off and it's like, actually, you might be interested in this to be perfectly honest because I thought it was a bit weird and I feel like brings a looks back into the kitchen with this conversation and then just like Grabs, one of the pancakes off the top of the stack and just like starts,
[SPEAKER_08]: literally eating with no butter, no syrup, just straight up, like a cookie almost.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have the jar of embrosia on the counter.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't know what that was, that's for some weird letters.
[SPEAKER_08]: The pancakes are fine, like I mean this one's a little burnt but like it's fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Orients, I, which is a little bit, and then as soon as you say that, it takes a bowl, pours another, and then stare at it like a fuck.
[SPEAKER_02]: with an intensity you haven't seen from a re-incense.
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably the first episode.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yes, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: I was just gonna call Annie because she like helps me out when she's like kind of a nurse, you know?
[SPEAKER_08]: And I mean, I'm her obviously my arm, but that she already worked on that a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: And she was like, just don't do too much work, just rest and like, whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_08]: Louise was on the job today was like hurting, and then he had like a book full of his employees and like six of them are also injured and like the last week, and sure, sure, repair work, construction work, not the safest of jobs, but it just felt like a lot.
[SPEAKER_02]: pancake flips in the pan and a re-end like turds look at you.
[SPEAKER_08]: That looks perfect.
[SPEAKER_08]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Eyes glitter.
[SPEAKER_02]: A re-end is not above flattery.
[SPEAKER_02]: As he kind of like wipes his head on like a kitchen towel while listening to you, just says sounds like one big accident and as you're saying it's stuff on the backside.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's pretty low these guys.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think it all happened in different places.
[SPEAKER_11]: and serning, could we just not find any more cursed places?
[SPEAKER_11]: What have they been working on?
[SPEAKER_11]: Where were you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, I was working on the record shop.
[SPEAKER_11]: Were the rest of them?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it was just me and Elise.
[SPEAKER_08]: They had all been hurt.
[SPEAKER_11]: Won't working on the record shop?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, it was like some guy came in and told Louie somebody was hurt.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't actually see the guy that was injured.
[SPEAKER_11]: So they were also working elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there's a lot of construction going on town right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you not noticed?
[SPEAKER_11]: I mostly don't go into town when the sun is up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Sure, but like the buildings are covered up and like you would see like the the works of whatever.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, that's fine.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a lot of stuff going on, Alex.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, but we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: So how is the not go brand mapping into all of this?
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh my god, can you just call her my friend?
[SPEAKER_08]: Her name is Annie.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm fine, fine, fine.
[SPEAKER_02]: How does Annie factor into all of this?
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think she has some great insights into Russell Beach's repair?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, I'm just going to call her to see if I like, if she thought my arm was doing well and then I was going to call her to see if I've set Louise's arm right or if she could set Louise's arm right.
[SPEAKER_08]: Then I was going to call and be like, hey, do you think this is weird?
[SPEAKER_08]: Have you seen any of these guys, and that's all.
[SPEAKER_03]: You look over to the clock and realize it's getting late and he's probably going to go to bed soon.
[SPEAKER_08]: I got to do this now or never, my friends.
[SPEAKER_03]: Push this a play, interaction.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a corded phone.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is one that is connected to its own receiver, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: So you would have to pick it up and it's connected to that, put it back down, it's connected to the wall.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can pick up the whole thing and travel as far as the cord will let you go, but it's not that far.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to try to separate yourself, you can walk into the bathroom and close the door.
[SPEAKER_03]: with the cords sticking out.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can walk just to the right of a stairwell as you try to like go upstairs or you can go on to the patio.
[SPEAKER_08]: Loo glances at the phone that's all in the counter takes the plate of pancakes and is like, I'm gonna go call her in my room.
[SPEAKER_08]: goes on to the stairwell and then when it tugs and she can't move it anymore just like sits down on one of the stairs and like pretends that no one is in the room with her and like turns away from them and puts in Annie's number and holds the phone up and kind of like over her shoulder looking at them and trying to give them eyes of like don't ease drop
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, like it's just leans against the table, looks over at her in for a second and it's just like not girlfriend and then just looks directly at Lou.
[SPEAKER_02]: A rean has spent centuries eavesdropping.
[SPEAKER_02]: You dirty your face away is not enough to stop the spend.
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe I am a bartender.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is my profession.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the phone rings once.
[SPEAKER_03]: It rings twice and you hear sort of like the receiver pick up.
[SPEAKER_08]: Hi.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, sorry, it's me, Lou.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I got that.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_04]: Sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just a little wait.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is going to be quick.
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: How are you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you doing okay today?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I guess I'm doing all right.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I just didn't expect to hear back from you so soon.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, yeah, so if you're okay, oh my god, I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_04]: Is your arm okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: No, no, it's still fine.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's still fine.
[SPEAKER_08]: You did a great job of wrapping it.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've kept it in the brace like you told me to.
[SPEAKER_08]: But I actually was wondering if you had seen the likes of Luis or any of his guys recently.
[SPEAKER_04]: That's an interesting question.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, I, I mean, I don't really talk with Luis.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did, you know, the one summer
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a long time ago, but I mean, it'll give me a moment.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you hear the phone sort of like drops onto the table, as you hear footsteps shuffling out, and then you hear a second voice, another woman.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the two of them kind of chat for a second, and it trails off, and the phone gets picked back up.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, Louis still there?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, actually, it's really interesting you called because I did treat somebody who used to work for a loot today.
[SPEAKER_03]: There was an accident down at one of the construction sites.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, it was kind of wild if I'm being honest, but the guy is fine.
[SPEAKER_03]: He just, I needed him to go to a proper hospital, I didn't have.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, all of the equipment to make sure he was really okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: There was an accident with like the sort of sauce and it went I don't know.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's like a slip or something and they got cut the sort of sauce Okay So like went to mainline county hospital that where do they went?
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that's where I had sent them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay I'm so sorry.
[SPEAKER_08]: I didn't know you had company out.
[SPEAKER_08]: Bye.
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh
[SPEAKER_08]: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[SPEAKER_08]: We'll stay as on the phone as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a silence that you can only hear breathing on the other side of the line.
[SPEAKER_08]: Right, okay, bye, and then hangs up.
[SPEAKER_08]: After a hangs up so abruptly, like brings the phone in.
[SPEAKER_08]: So she said it was kind of weird too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm getting the wine.
[SPEAKER_02]: Definitely not confirmed.
[SPEAKER_08]: No, I think she might have a girlfriend.
[SPEAKER_02]: You already hear the cork off.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's just not really important right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: She said that she sent one of Louise's guys to the main land highest hospital today.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's bad, right?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well, it's like, the people go there when like, the Roseville Beach Hospital doesn't have enough resources to help them.
[SPEAKER_08]: So obviously it's, you know, like, not great.
[SPEAKER_02]: Slides a glass over or flying over.
[SPEAKER_08]: Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew, ew,
[SPEAKER_08]: It's like, it's like, my tongue is like fully dehydrated on one sip.
[SPEAKER_02]: Just how it's meant to taste, and it takes another like swing.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just like, does it smell like vinegar or does it smell like actually like good?
[SPEAKER_11]: It's probably a really sharp one.
[SPEAKER_08]: I think Luigi doesn't like wine.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now, Felix is like sort of double fisting a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: Lude takes a pancake and like dunks it into the drink, so I mean that's what I know now.
[SPEAKER_02]: And this is being you are about to look more into the fact that these lads are being...
[SPEAKER_08]: I think it's weird, I think it's weird, or I mean I think it's weird.
[SPEAKER_02]: Arian looks over at Alex.
[SPEAKER_02]: She hasn't been wrong yet.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, Alex is already like kind of like having a weird like moment of like what's one do I need to finish first to not make the other one taste bad and she like here's he said it's like, oh, um, no, I agree I guess the question is, do we go to the mainland to talk to that guy or do we look for someone more local who's not as serious?
[SPEAKER_11]: What's the what's the move here?
[SPEAKER_08]: The main lane hospital is that on the main lane, or is it just further into a roadside beach?
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, it's on the main lane, and the last ferry has already left for the day.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, no, I don't, I feel like that is, no, that's too far.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's too far.
[SPEAKER_08]: There's a guy who lives here who used to work for Louise and stopped working for Louise, and then got injured and then like stopped working at all.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I just feel like maybe he's who we should go talk to first.
[SPEAKER_08]: We can do it in the morning, I guess.
[SPEAKER_08]: I know it's kind of late and he might be sleeping.
[SPEAKER_08]: As I was told, when I made a phone call about five minutes ago.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, dear, what?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, nothing, I just think that you look so- It is late.
[SPEAKER_08]: I shouldn't be calling Annie after sunset.
[SPEAKER_08]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_08]: I understand the vibe.
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you okay?
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: Why wouldn't I be?
[SPEAKER_02]: This news didn't- How do you say it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Shock you?
[SPEAKER_08]: I guess it was like surprising, but like not in a super surprising way.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you and I haven't dated for 10 years.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ariane looks over and mutters over to A likes and goes, Do you see why the the lesbian title is given to Lou?
[SPEAKER_11]: It's just like pedigy the bridge of her does and just like, oh god, check me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Conwood, it helped you if we got out of the house and did something like, Take your mind off it.
[SPEAKER_11]: We should go out.
[SPEAKER_05]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, okay, totally, but do you want to go out and do something that anything else?
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I've just, I don't, I mean, if you guys want to, but like, I felt like, Ariana here was trying to like, perfect their pancakes.
[SPEAKER_11]: But I also love going out.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's totally perfect.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's been four hours.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's good.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's great.
[SPEAKER_08]: Oh, did I just have like one of the early ones and that's why it was burnt.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_08]: You can go out.
[SPEAKER_11]: It'll be good.
[SPEAKER_11]: It'll be fine.
[SPEAKER_11]: Come on.
[SPEAKER_11]: We can go.
[SPEAKER_08]: We walk along the beach.
[SPEAKER_08]: So wherever we go.
[SPEAKER_11]: Of course.
[SPEAKER_08]: I want to go on the beach.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't want to go.
[SPEAKER_08]: I just walked home on the main road.
[SPEAKER_08]: I want to go back on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I love the beach.
[SPEAKER_03]: We step out onto the cool night air onto the beach.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[SPEAKER_03]: Sand and everything.
[SPEAKER_03]: Do we walk east or west?
[SPEAKER_08]: Lou, you start walking west.
[SPEAKER_03]: You begin heading west and the night is, like I said, it's a nice cool night, it's peaceful.
[SPEAKER_03]: Roseville Beach has a significant nightlife, but when you're here, when you're not in town, it's almost meditative.
[SPEAKER_03]: What's a place where you can be, if you wish, alone with your thoughts.
[SPEAKER_03]: or just to escape the real world.
[SPEAKER_03]: As you are walking down the beach, if you look to your left, you can see the waves crash in.
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, this is not the side of the docks.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is sand that goes directly to the ocean.
[SPEAKER_03]: and you look off to the right, you can see sort of lights in the distance as you can almost hear the distant hum of disco.
[SPEAKER_03]: In front of you is about 4-5 story tall construction site for an upcoming hotel.
[SPEAKER_03]: You hear a sudden sort of like generator start to hum.
[SPEAKER_07]: We've just talked about this place today, but also it's after hours there should be no power
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, you should take your mind off it, right?
[SPEAKER_11]: Maybe we try being a lot of quiet for a bit while we go in.
[SPEAKER_08]: When that noise comes on, do any like the lights come on as well, or is it just the hum?
[SPEAKER_03]: You hear the hum first, and this is a large construction site.
[SPEAKER_03]: They have basically just the skeleton of the building built.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can see like into some of the floors, and then it gets a little bit too tall that you can't see into it, you can just see it or see the ceiling, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: It's
[SPEAKER_03]: perimeter is a quickly put up fence.
[SPEAKER_03]: You would be able to easily climb it or if you had a key to the door you could unlock the gate and like kind of go inside.
[SPEAKER_03]: Along the gate are banners or industrial
[SPEAKER_03]: company that has been brought in to build this site.
[SPEAKER_03]: And actually, you've seen this before.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you were to walk down the other way on the beach, the Surfcoe, we went through an accident a couple months back, is also being rebuilt by the same company.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's also a company that helped build sort of like the renovations to the country club.
[SPEAKER_03]: So they have slowly had more and more influence on Brazil Beach.
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a spot for sort of the generator to give power to like working lights and stuff, and then there is a little mobile shack that's been constructed on top of the sand to house people for the brakes or whatever, and that does have a light on.
[SPEAKER_08]: This is just kind of weird, like everyone's gone and I would say that if just the light was on for that trailer that would be fine because sometimes like the form and sleeps at his work site, but I just don't understand why the generator for the entire building just turned on.
[SPEAKER_08]: Can I go ask this guy that okay, can we make a quick detour?
[SPEAKER_11]: We can pop in and see if he's there.
[SPEAKER_03]: the gate which would be secured with like large locks and chains is not.
[SPEAKER_03]: It has like warning labels on it like warning don't enter without proper equipment or you know without being hired by industrial prospects it's a dangerous site that has long list of like dangers that you could experience if you are not properly trained.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you can't open the gate in it.
[SPEAKER_08]: Blue pushes the gate open and strides across the sand towards that one smaller building with the lights on.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a cool night.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now sort of your view separated from the ocean separated from the...
[SPEAKER_03]: village at large leaves you with your thoughts and you approach this sort of a working shack and the door is unlocked and there's nobody inside but the the lights are on the generator has been turned on but there is a set of keys on the desk so clearly somebody has come inside and started working on some stuff
[SPEAKER_03]: Inside of the building, there is a list of all of the people who are on industrial prospects like Go list, like you can these people are allowed to be here and these people need to sort of like check in when they come in.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you see the same name that was crossed out of Louis's book.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's just one or two, but all of them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, so this is a fucked up construction company is the vibe I'm getting.
[SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, oh, that's bad.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm glad I never worked for them, because I could have some of the worst in this lame arm.
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe he had something like, I would visit Venture's last time was a blessing into Sky's.
[SPEAKER_02]: Did I use that right?
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know if I would say that I was hanging off a catwalk in a theater that was on fire.
[SPEAKER_08]: It was kind of crazy.
[SPEAKER_08]: But it wasn't my job.
[SPEAKER_08]: That was like extracurricular, you know.
[SPEAKER_03]: Right on the performance desk where the keys were as the keys are lying on top of the clipboard And it is a list of incident rules and it has the most recent one on top Which was like a miss-happ or like like accident with with some the injured Employee had to be rushed off to the hospital in order to prevent like massively
[SPEAKER_03]: You smell something that actually triggers a memory.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's the same kind of scent that you experienced at the Pearl last week.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a noxious scent.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a sickening scent.
[SPEAKER_03]: That is starting sort of come out of thin air.
[SPEAKER_11]: We should go out of here.
[SPEAKER_11]: Right now.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'm just going to kind of like cover your mouth a little bit out out out out out out.
[SPEAKER_08]: Okay, but we didn't find any okay.
[SPEAKER_11]: Out.
[SPEAKER_11]: This is the witch.
[SPEAKER_03]: you're able to sort of get out of the building and that's when you smell it as well.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like natural gas has been leaking into this place.
[SPEAKER_03]: Nearby there's like natural gas reservoir that would be used for some part of the construction, right?
[SPEAKER_03]: Some part of the maintenance and operation of this site, and you kind of can get everybody clear from it, but approaching it would be pretty dangerous, you know, it's it's going to have a pretty explosive property to it if you don't deal with it properly.
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's when you see a flashlight, three stories on, start to move around.
[SPEAKER_08]: What I have been able to grab those incident reports in the keys before we ran out of there.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you can even flip through them really quickly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, these are wild incident reports.
[SPEAKER_03]: And they all stand within the past two, three weeks.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have an incident of somebody falling.
[SPEAKER_03]: off of a ladder and ending up in a coma.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have an incident of electrocution where somebody merely died.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have an incident of a runaway forklift where the keys were left in and somebody was trapped in between concrete and the forklift.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's another one of sort of chemical exposure where somebody was trapped inside of a room where two chemicals were sort of poisoning that and then there's the most recent one of the sort of saw cutting through or something.
[SPEAKER_08]: Seeing that flashlight ago, it's happening, it's happening here, it's happening here right now, whatever the fuck is going on, it's happening here right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is an outrageous stuff, a bad luck.
[SPEAKER_08]: It follows me around.
[SPEAKER_11]: Now I don't necessarily think that I do I do think it yeah, no, I think there's something to that But I don't think this one's on you.
[SPEAKER_03]: We gotta get them out of here and then suddenly the flashlight rolls off the third story It falls next to your feet somebody is dead somebody is dead.
[SPEAKER_08]: Somebody is dead.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's side that building
[SPEAKER_03]: you look up and see there is a man that is dangling off of the side.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are holding on to the concrete.
[SPEAKER_08]: How many stories up is this?
[SPEAKER_03]: Three.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is there any ladders?
[SPEAKER_08]: Is there any climbing capability?
[SPEAKER_03]: you can legitimately just pull over a ladder.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think that there probably is some sort of system inside of the construction site so you can move between the floors.
[SPEAKER_03]: And there is probably some sort of heavy machinery you could operate to aid in this as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: She runs over to the crane.
[SPEAKER_08]: The keys are still in the ignition.
[SPEAKER_08]: She flips it on and then she goes, one of you, come over here, you got to drive this thing because I got to climb up there and I got to go grab it.
[SPEAKER_02]: do not make me drive that thing and then looks over to Lou takes out the pearl necklace around his neck and then taps you on your nose and like mentions an old incantation.
[SPEAKER_02]: It didn't like which you did not understand and I would like to grant you a boon.
[SPEAKER_12]: Maybe the best thing of our cuteies bless you may your arms be strong enough to save this life.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's strong because of manual labor.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's not like a body builder though.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's like average build has a bit of a tummy, but like has like a wide shoulders wide arms.
[SPEAKER_08]: Like it looks like she has useful strength.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I feel like in this moment, it's almost like,
[SPEAKER_08]: those muscles just in a weird like body horror vibe, grow twice their size.
[SPEAKER_08]: It's not like unpainful.
[SPEAKER_08]: I feel like I feel like it hurts a little bit.
[SPEAKER_08]: But she has already so focused with Ariana being like, I'm doing this for you to like succeed in your goal.
[SPEAKER_08]: and is like monkey climbing up this crane as a laxorums across to drive it to get up higher.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I think just like with every grass, there's like a... as the muscles like formulate and get bigger.
[SPEAKER_03]: you are able to operate this heavy machinery surprisingly well I mean it's not too dissimilar to sort of other might have not operated a crane before but you can into it sort of what to do here and you manage to rise the crane up up up and then suddenly
[SPEAKER_03]: It's stuck, it won't rise anymore, and it's about up to two and a half drawers.
[SPEAKER_08]: Who is using her hands to pull herself up, and then she gets to a point where she actually starts running up the crane, and I think takes a leak off to this person to try to grab them.
[SPEAKER_03]: The strength of Heracles is enough to push you forward.
[SPEAKER_03]: You have extraordinary strength in this moment.
[SPEAKER_03]: And your arm, you can't even feel the injury.
[SPEAKER_03]: You pull up this man with both arms, both hands onto the platform, and he looks almost through petrified, as there's a glow that starts to emanate.
[SPEAKER_03]: You turn your head and you see a hind
[SPEAKER_03]: where behind a mask, behind a hard hat, to glowing red eyes.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can smell soul.
[SPEAKER_03]: In one hand, they're left one, a sledgehammer, wrapped in clearly magical energy.
[SPEAKER_03]: As they raise the sledgehammer, they crash it down onto the floor and
[SPEAKER_06]: Do I have time to grab this man, to me, and jump off the building?
[SPEAKER_03]: That will take a roll, goal, clue, and think injury.
[SPEAKER_08]: Six for goal, five for clue, and four for injured.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've already pulled him up onto the floor that we're on.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I see this individual and I think who just goes, oh, fuck no.
[SPEAKER_08]: And grabs this person to her side and turns around and does like, I feel like there's like a few feet between her and the ledge and does kind of this like a running jump off of the building.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't think she's attempting to actually like reach the ground with this jump.
[SPEAKER_08]: She is trying to reach like the top of the crane, which they can then climb down from.
[SPEAKER_08]: Not the top of the crane, like, arm, but the actual vehicle.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alex, what you see is suddenly the ceiling above you, 10 inward.
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't harm you, it doesn't injure you.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you do have to sort of move in order to not get trapped underneath here, as you are still able to sort of...
[SPEAKER_03]: Reach forward stretch out your arm just enough in order to operate this this machinery and as you do that The figure takes their sledgehammer.
[SPEAKER_03]: They leap off of the building hook it on to the side of the crane and Slide down land onto the glass and you can see the burning eyes underneath that protective that PPD the protective equipment
[SPEAKER_03]: sort of stare out at you look up as they reach for their sledgehammer attempting to strike down again.
[SPEAKER_03]: Luke, something about the way they did this is familiar.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's strangely a way that you were sort of trained to operate, a way that you were trained to get out of terrible situations.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is a move that is only to be implied or used in like dangerous situations.
[SPEAKER_11]: Hey, Alex, what a look at this dude.
[SPEAKER_11]: Look up at the roof.
[SPEAKER_11]: Thank you, Ralph.
[SPEAKER_11]: What's on top of the roof?
[SPEAKER_08]: Are you fucking- She like gets all fours and like piece her head over, but she goes, it's just me!
[SPEAKER_11]: I can see that.
[SPEAKER_11]: That's not being safe, and she's going to look at the evil firefighter from hell, and I would like to find them.
[SPEAKER_03]: Magic goal injury.
[SPEAKER_11]: I will help you.
[SPEAKER_11]: Well, I don't lose control of magic.
[SPEAKER_11]: We're going to get a partial success on the goal, but we're going to take us care.
[SPEAKER_11]: Find and command and there's like the bend of light as she kind of reaches out and I think the problem that she's having is that she's still overexerted from the Pearl and she's like Where as she was able to back then do two separate things at once she's trying to like hold them in place and then also get them to like
[SPEAKER_11]: do something else but she's not clear on what the other thing was.
[SPEAKER_11]: She didn't think fast enough which is a rarity runner.
[SPEAKER_11]: She was trying to like get them demask run away, drop to your knees, let go of your weapon like anything else but she didn't come up with it, pass like the command itself.
[SPEAKER_11]: So when the light goes out in bends, one of them is like a clear sort of like extension, translucent of her hand that like holds on to him but then the other part that is like anything else starts to take salinity and then sparks away until in the shower.
[SPEAKER_11]: Not real sparks.
[SPEAKER_03]: in this moment.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to have both of you take the same scare here, which is going to be mortality.
[SPEAKER_03]: You reach out, you sort of fath cast this spell, and the firefighter from hell grabs on to the sledgehammer with their other hand, and they go to sort of like bend down and pick it up again, and they're right arm, sort of winsets, as they are unable to sort of lift it over their shoulder.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're magic pulling it down, and they're not able to rotate it up enough.
[SPEAKER_03]: and they sort of let go of the sledgehammer as they reach for the man, not for you and they pull the man off as he's sort of like grabbing onto the crane to try to stay on.
[SPEAKER_05]: I want to grab him as well, fighting for like control over who has him.
[SPEAKER_02]: On fact, about evenings in general folks is that that is when the tide is high.
[SPEAKER_02]: A rain like sees all of this and I think initially when a rain is used with like a little bit of water that joins into your finding spell, realizes that's not enough water to hold this thing down.
[SPEAKER_03]: magic goal injury.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think Alex is going to just call water to you, understanding what you're doing.
[SPEAKER_02]: Five to the magic six to the goal by the injury.
[SPEAKER_02]: At this moment, we hear the quiet chill ocean breeze hole in and with it is the sound of the hole and push of the high tide and from there we see the water move forward and further and further up the beach until it is a thin, at tentacle like whip.
[SPEAKER_02]: that clings around the spence like lower half up to the middle of his torso and then pulls.
[SPEAKER_02]: The way that Arion is attempting to restrict the spence is to pull him down to his knees.
[SPEAKER_02]: so that he cannot lift.
[SPEAKER_02]: And as this is all happening, we see the loose, siren scales begin to coalesce around the reans forearm and up his shoulders as he's willing the water to bind this entity.
[SPEAKER_03]: you watch as the water not only creeps up them but spirals up their arm up to their hand frying their hand open and forcing their arm back and the man which you're holding on to it was able to free themselves they get up onto here you see the form in badge on sort of their shirt the firefighter from hell is forced to in and then their hand is forced to the ground and their other hand forced to the ground
[SPEAKER_03]: and they sort of look up the water has jossled their protective equipment as the glass is sort of fall down.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is Louise.
[SPEAKER_03]: His eyes glazed over in a way that's like energizing, glowing,
[SPEAKER_08]: Lou looks over and sees this, and just feels the way in heaviness of a rush of disappointment.
[SPEAKER_08]: Not because she thinks Louise would ever do this on purpose, even if he has, she doesn't believe that, but a disappointment in that anybody
[SPEAKER_08]: In Roseville Beach, no matter who they are, can and will be affected by the strange happenings in Roseville Beach.
[SPEAKER_08]: And it just makes her so sad, because Louis was just a guy.
[SPEAKER_08]: He was just a handyman at a hotel that taught everything she knows, how his own family,
[SPEAKER_08]: and it's almost unsurprising to her now after all of these things that have happened that it's him.
[SPEAKER_08]: And she's gonna find a way to make it not him in the sense of she's gonna find a way to bring.
[SPEAKER_08]: She's not, we're not gonna defeat this thing if it means Lisa's gone.
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, we don't.
[SPEAKER_03]: Never expected to see you here on the site.
[SPEAKER_08]: That's not you.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't know who you are, but it's not you.
[SPEAKER_03]: Are you working for them, too?
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you leave me as well?
[SPEAKER_08]: Luis, you're the only one in this construction site right now that's working for anybody else.
[SPEAKER_08]: I've only ever worked for you.
[SPEAKER_03]: No, no, no, no, no.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not true.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Why would you be here if you weren't working for them?
[SPEAKER_08]: Saving a fucking man's life that you tried to push off a construction site.
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, well, maybe he deserves it.
[SPEAKER_03]: He took my friend's best life.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's sitting in the hospital in a coma right now.
[SPEAKER_08]: Is there any way for Lutatel if this is Louisa if something is speaking through him?
[SPEAKER_08]: This is super important.
[SPEAKER_08]: I don't think that I have actually any way to succeed on that skill check.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I do think that I'm gonna have to tap into my two friends around me who
[SPEAKER_08]: Feel like the last three weeks have used more magic in front of me than I have seen ever And it's like one of those things where it's like somebody who doesn't know what they're doing And it's just like blindly trying to pull from the ether into them to do this.
[SPEAKER_02]: May I help by keeping this man pinned with my water?
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, of course.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know if this is a great idea, but sure and she's gonna put a hand on your shoulder She's gonna call
[SPEAKER_11]: anything that's innate in you.
[SPEAKER_08]: I'm 100% trying to take that such a hammer.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I think maybe in the like pulling of this spell and like the alex is calling of magic here, this such hammer like almost like comes into my hand and I think to stop everything, I've tried to bring it up cool down and I smash it into the ground in front of me.
[SPEAKER_03]: you smash down into the sort of crane right where he is being pulled down into and it like lodges him and not a way that interests him but in a way that sort of entrapped some inside so he cannot escape.
[SPEAKER_03]: You feel the magic rush in from me like from Arion, from the sledgehammer and Lou, you have successfully cast a magic.
[SPEAKER_08]: but also this feeling of like, this everyday tool that is used in a lot of work, Loudo's, being embedded with something more, is kind of like really energizing for her in a way that, in a scenario that isn't already adrenaline filled, could become a little scary.
[SPEAKER_03]: You are able to.
[SPEAKER_03]: see behind whatever veil of magic is happening here.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the least.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is fair choice.
[SPEAKER_03]: They made these choices.
[SPEAKER_03]: You can tell that they are angry.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are hateful.
[SPEAKER_03]: They are more than anything.
[SPEAKER_03]: Passionate about what they are doing.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then all three of you, in a burst of energy, receive a psychic feedback.
[SPEAKER_03]: And all you see is the shadow of something, something very tall, something lingering over the least.
[SPEAKER_03]: The shadow looks up at you, and the psychic vision breaks, and all of you are not
[SPEAKER_03]: Louise looks up at you for a moment desperate for help.
[SPEAKER_03]: Distinctly not regretting the actions he's taken but scared that he will hurt you as well.
[SPEAKER_08]: I guess what my friend, you either regret or you've done or you do hurt me because all of it sucks.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you've made those choices.
[SPEAKER_08]: I already don't agree with them.
[SPEAKER_08]: And so you've already hurt me because you've hurt people I care about.
[SPEAKER_08]: So I guess pick your poison, double down a few months, some right here.
[SPEAKER_03]: Roll to convince them.
[SPEAKER_08]: Honestly, goal and trouble.
[SPEAKER_03]: Luis looks up to you and thinks on what you said, you know, I have done regrettable things, I've heard a lot of people, a lot of my own guys, but I They take a breath, I would do it again.
[SPEAKER_03]: I wouldn't So here's what we're gonna do, is we're gonna do well.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to take me out.
[SPEAKER_03]: You got to you got us taught me because I'm not gonna stop.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey, hey, hey It's okay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I've seen you grow
[SPEAKER_03]: I've seen you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I think it's just time for me to retire, you know, leave it to the next generation.
[SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, absolutely fuck you.
[SPEAKER_08]: You think you can stand up there and tell me that it's my job to take you out after all the fucking bad decisions you made just because maybe at one point in my life I thought something of you?
[SPEAKER_08]: Well you lost all that credibility with me now.
[SPEAKER_08]: And you know what honestly?
[SPEAKER_08]: Take yourself out because I don't fucking care about you anymore and I only care about the people that you've hurt.
[SPEAKER_08]: And one of those people is me, and one of those people is this man that he tried to throw off of a building.
[SPEAKER_08]: So absolutely fuck yourself.
[SPEAKER_08]: I never want to see you again.
[SPEAKER_08]: And I think Lou takes hold of the guy that she had saved and starts walking out of the construction site.
[SPEAKER_03]: Louise is trapped.
[SPEAKER_11]: Do I have any sense that I know what that thing is?
[SPEAKER_03]: There are a lot of things that prey on human ambition and human desires and passions.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is eldritch to you.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is unknown.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is not something that you could categorize fully.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a partial match in a lot of places.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would like to try a break it's hold on Louise.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would like to take the sledgehammer from Lou to Doot.
[SPEAKER_08]: Lou actually on her way out, drops this sledgehammer.
[SPEAKER_11]: That scare is absolutely going to affect me.
[SPEAKER_11]: Yeah, I'm going to leave a ticket and convenient about on time.
[SPEAKER_11]: I would like to use Bane, Bind, and Command.
[SPEAKER_11]: I'd like to use all three for that.
[SPEAKER_11]: I don't know what's name, so I don't think I can get away with Call.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be goal and magic and injury.
[SPEAKER_03]: Six goal, five magic, five injury.
[SPEAKER_11]: I am taking the sledgehammer.
[SPEAKER_11]: and I am using fame and bind combined with command to push and visualize the thing so it is like pushed back and out like the light stretches and whatever it is has this shape now that is clearly visible but it's like still there's like the bed light is still attached to the man and once it is
[SPEAKER_11]: Hopefully out there's gonna be like a hand that just sort of grabs it and holds it in place.
[SPEAKER_11]: And now the sledgehammer itself at the head gains that same bending around it and seems to like grow.
[SPEAKER_11]: And so she's going to lift it up and just smash it on the stretch between the thing and to shatter it.
[SPEAKER_03]: slam down with the sledge hammer, and the ground does not crack, but the shadow cracks in the way that the ground would have as it crumbles like stone, and the shadow cracks all the way up and dissipates.
[SPEAKER_03]: Louise, past town, does not wake up, breathing alive, but unconscious.
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to have a little stretch forward in time.
[SPEAKER_03]: Luis has been taken to the mainland hospital in a coma.
[SPEAKER_03]: Free from whatever was attached to him, but severely affected by that experience.
[SPEAKER_03]: Alex, this sledgehammer is the same magical signature as the paintbrush.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't like that look when it face.
[SPEAKER_11]: Someone is causing trouble and they have
[SPEAKER_11]: extremely powerful ability to do it.
[SPEAKER_11]: They're putting pieces of themselves in objects and it's got their will behind it, which is to destroy this place.
[SPEAKER_11]: And they're definitely way more powerful than we are.
[SPEAKER_11]: We have been very lucky so far.
[SPEAKER_11]: And I don't know how much longer that is going to last.
[SPEAKER_11]: It's not just what they did to the people we've seen.
[SPEAKER_11]: I think they can do it on grander scales and I think they can do it to people's more powerful and more arcane than us as well.
[SPEAKER_11]: And whatever they want, they're not going to stop and they are beyond aware of us now.
[SPEAKER_03]: the sun is going to begin to rise, as we see your shadows cast themselves all the way.
[SPEAKER_03]: And the camera zooms out and sees sort of this shadow cast over.
[SPEAKER_03]: Those will reach.
