WEBVTT

00:00.251 --> 00:06.214
[SPEAKER_04]: Last time on Roseville Beach, you can't stay here locked up in in your beach house all day long.

00:06.554 --> 00:08.735
[SPEAKER_04]: I can walk to the beach if I want to.

00:08.835 --> 00:09.795
[SPEAKER_04]: But did you do it?

00:10.595 --> 00:11.976
[SPEAKER_04]: No, you didn't.

00:11.996 --> 00:17.478
[SPEAKER_02]: The Roseville Beach is having a fest soon in beautiful filigree.

00:17.798 --> 00:21.040
[SPEAKER_04]: Stels out the words, the garden of Dionysus.

00:21.880 --> 00:27.643
[SPEAKER_04]: And then you look up and you see Annie and then you look over and you see

00:29.453 --> 00:32.336
[SPEAKER_04]: and they're both coming from opposite directions toward ya.

00:32.796 --> 00:35.378
[SPEAKER_05]: I think there's a buzzing noise that starts in Lewis' head.

00:35.859 --> 00:37.540
[SPEAKER_03]: You know there's a dance, right?

00:37.821 --> 00:39.442
[SPEAKER_03]: You can go and shake it.

00:39.822 --> 00:42.145
[SPEAKER_03]: Will you be interested in dancing later?

00:43.025 --> 00:43.326
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

00:44.387 --> 00:44.887
[SPEAKER_04]: Can call me.

00:45.488 --> 00:46.028
[SPEAKER_04]: Asmodious.

00:46.729 --> 00:48.911
[SPEAKER_03]: You can call me Yupotheltaps.

00:49.471 --> 00:50.192
[SPEAKER_04]: You take the hand?

00:50.572 --> 00:51.053
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh yeah.

00:51.293 --> 00:53.315
[SPEAKER_03]: He was caught up in the moment.

00:54.178 --> 00:55.078
[SPEAKER_00]: Alex, are you on?

00:55.218 --> 00:56.119
[SPEAKER_00]: We have a problem!

00:56.419 --> 00:57.979
[SPEAKER_04]: Be certainly too!

00:58.479 --> 00:58.959
[SPEAKER_00]: Defined!

00:59.319 --> 01:03.281
[SPEAKER_04]: And what you see is a petrified triad.

01:28.135 --> 01:55.971
[SPEAKER_06]: On the beach, we'll turn the night to day Adventures on the beach, so come along and play Rose will beach, the ghosts like to play Monsters hide, but they won't stay Rose will beach, with the game that they found We'll turn this town right, back around

02:03.265 --> 02:07.826
[SPEAKER_06]: Who knows, there's no broken thing that she can't feel.

02:07.846 --> 02:10.166
[SPEAKER_06]: What's at your surface?

02:10.646 --> 02:15.987
[SPEAKER_06]: Magic that comes from lost powers the way she lay.

02:16.087 --> 02:17.568
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it.

02:18.368 --> 02:22.649
[SPEAKER_06]: Ari, on this question, you're loving good some fishy tricks.

02:22.829 --> 02:24.949
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I'm Ari.

02:25.409 --> 02:30.470
[SPEAKER_06]: Together, these three will surely have you transparent.

02:32.400 --> 02:47.763
[SPEAKER_06]: Roseville Beach the ghosts like to play monsters hide but they won't stay Roseville Beach with the gang that they found will turn this town right by ground

03:04.585 --> 03:21.749
[SPEAKER_04]: We open back up on Russell Beach, currently being devastated by groves of trees springing forth from the ground, you watch as, honestly, walking is probably not the ideal situation.

03:22.529 --> 03:29.071
[SPEAKER_04]: You feel the urgency of the situation as you watch the building in front of you being carried up into a tree.

03:29.251 --> 03:32.392
[SPEAKER_04]: Luckily, this was the record studio that Lou

03:33.018 --> 03:38.022
[SPEAKER_04]: and Louise had been building, nobody was inside, but this could happen to anybody.

03:38.423 --> 03:51.013
[SPEAKER_04]: You make your way across village to the same thing and find that it has been split into by a massive tree that has grown in the center of it.

03:51.694 --> 03:52.815
[SPEAKER_04]: Cracked almost like,

03:53.942 --> 03:59.144
[SPEAKER_04]: you would have a small box of fill on the floor and broke into with jagged edges.

03:59.304 --> 04:01.946
[SPEAKER_04]: That's what the building looks like.

04:01.966 --> 04:13.111
[SPEAKER_04]: The bank teller is nowhere to be seen, but Lou and Alex and Aryan, you see the telltale signs of

04:20.678 --> 04:27.283
[SPEAKER_04]: Draving from its branches and trailing back into the building, and the tree grows and it's pulling up these tentacles.

04:28.044 --> 04:28.904
[SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's bad.

04:29.565 --> 04:33.968
[SPEAKER_05]: So I know why I said I don't want him to be our landlord, but I didn't mean for him to die.

04:34.569 --> 04:36.530
[SPEAKER_04]: Where is your attention being drawn, Felix?

04:37.131 --> 04:42.575
[SPEAKER_01]: I think first it would be to the split bank, and then if I felt the eyes on me, I would look for them.

04:43.115 --> 04:48.960
[SPEAKER_04]: You turn around and you see, perched in a tree behind you.

04:49.658 --> 04:56.383
[SPEAKER_04]: to glowing eyes of a very familiar coyote.

04:56.723 --> 05:02.907
[SPEAKER_04]: The one who you met right before a still walked into your life.

05:03.588 --> 05:17.177
[SPEAKER_04]: The coyote bears at the time you wouldn't have known this but you've grown as a human and as a witch and you can now recognize that this coyote bears a still's magic

05:17.787 --> 05:19.749
[SPEAKER_01]: You're just a light to cigarette immediately.

05:19.769 --> 05:20.890
[SPEAKER_05]: A-licks?

05:21.651 --> 05:31.480
[SPEAKER_05]: I know this is a question that I'm not really supposed to be asking due to the last time that I asked it and got shut down, but are you okay?

05:32.440 --> 05:32.841
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

05:33.922 --> 05:36.084
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, okay, that's what I thought.

05:36.805 --> 05:37.265
[SPEAKER_02]: What's wrong?

05:38.725 --> 05:40.706
[SPEAKER_01]: Hang on one second, I'll be right back.

05:40.826 --> 05:46.508
[SPEAKER_01]: And she walks up to the tree and just looks up at this very comfortably perch animal.

05:47.068 --> 05:52.911
[SPEAKER_04]: It hops down from branch to branch and meets your every step.

05:53.211 --> 05:58.233
[SPEAKER_04]: When you advance the coyote advances, when you stop the coyote stops.

05:59.269 --> 06:03.271
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, something to say, or what?

06:04.292 --> 06:14.518
[SPEAKER_04]: The coyote leaps from the bottom branch to the ground in a graceful landing that's elegant and otherworldly almost.

06:15.058 --> 06:21.102
[SPEAKER_03]: Kayo is just standing and watching and I think takes another swing of the flask that they have found.

06:21.840 --> 06:29.845
[SPEAKER_04]: And as it brings itself back up, their fur turns to skin and clothing.

06:30.725 --> 06:33.187
[SPEAKER_04]: As a still stands before you.

06:36.429 --> 06:41.972
[SPEAKER_01]: The cigarette just drops out of Alex's fingers that are like her hands are by just falling out of her sides.

06:42.673 --> 06:47.716
[SPEAKER_04]: She doesn't say anything, but the way she looks at you,

06:48.916 --> 06:50.137
[SPEAKER_04]: is expected.

06:51.077 --> 06:53.638
[SPEAKER_01]: She steps forward towards her.

06:54.558 --> 06:54.999
[SPEAKER_01]: It looks.

06:55.879 --> 06:57.420
[SPEAKER_01]: It gets right up close.

06:58.080 --> 06:58.460
[SPEAKER_01]: It's her.

06:59.180 --> 07:01.021
[SPEAKER_01]: At this distance, do I feel her breath?

07:01.081 --> 07:01.721
[SPEAKER_01]: Do I feel?

07:01.741 --> 07:08.924
[SPEAKER_04]: Do you feel the warmth of her breath on your skin on your cheek?

07:09.665 --> 07:13.326
[SPEAKER_04]: You can almost hear her heartbeat.

07:18.304 --> 07:26.311
[SPEAKER_04]: as she actually reaches out to you, she hesitates and through her body asks permission.

07:27.372 --> 07:30.514
[SPEAKER_01]: Alex is breathing very shallowly.

07:31.035 --> 07:34.357
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a thousand different things happening inside of her chest.

07:34.438 --> 07:34.798
[SPEAKER_01]: There is.

07:37.007 --> 07:42.412
[SPEAKER_01]: her heartbeat is going, it's hammering in her ears and she can't hear the other ones like calling for her at all.

07:42.432 --> 07:53.983
[SPEAKER_01]: She's just locked in this moment and it's like every single moment that they shared is flashing before her eyes all at once up until even the last one.

07:54.588 --> 08:07.031
[SPEAKER_01]: Even that, it's just out of her mind instantly, and as soon as she sees the ask, she puts her hands on either side of the stealth face and just presses her face into hers.

08:07.471 --> 08:12.592
[SPEAKER_01]: Just into her nose, into her forehead, and just priests.

08:13.272 --> 08:20.774
[SPEAKER_04]: She in turn grasps the nape of your neck, and sort of slides her hands down to your shoulders.

08:21.639 --> 08:24.562
[SPEAKER_03]: Alex, why have you been running from me?

08:25.403 --> 08:26.425
[SPEAKER_04]: We're out of time.

08:27.005 --> 08:27.646
[SPEAKER_01]: You know why?

08:27.666 --> 08:31.530
[SPEAKER_04]: Alex, I've always cherished my time to see you.

08:32.211 --> 08:33.973
[SPEAKER_01]: Then please give me this moment, please.

08:35.014 --> 08:37.577
[SPEAKER_01]: Just don't, don't say anything great now, please.

08:38.373 --> 08:52.963
[SPEAKER_04]: She looks down as her hand's trail off of your shoulders, past your elbows, and for a moment hesitated at your hands but retreat as she clasps the lost deep inside.

08:53.483 --> 08:55.645
[SPEAKER_04]: She finally breaks from the referee and looks back at you.

08:56.405 --> 09:01.989
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, but you cannot escape this and it has to be done now today.

09:02.849 --> 09:05.131
[SPEAKER_01]: She's there and she's listening but she doesn't respond to that.

09:05.848 --> 09:14.590
[SPEAKER_04]: She actually dives down to meet your gaze and lifts your chin up, following with her head.

09:15.251 --> 09:16.471
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll forget about that for now.

09:17.251 --> 09:21.092
[SPEAKER_04]: I believe there are other matters to attend to.

09:21.832 --> 09:24.173
[SPEAKER_03]: We can deal with them together.

09:24.193 --> 09:24.353
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

09:27.114 --> 09:27.934
[SPEAKER_01]: Who are your friends?

09:28.834 --> 09:33.235
[SPEAKER_01]: She remembers that there are people that she came with at this moment, and she likes stiffens.

09:36.467 --> 09:39.462
[SPEAKER_05]: Hi, hi, hi.

09:40.206 --> 10:02.052
[SPEAKER_02]: A Rian looks one part horrified and one part on edge because everything he had learned about who this person potentially is would signal to him danger, but what is happening before him is in fact not that and is watching with thin, slithed eyes watching this,

10:07.694 --> 10:09.175
[SPEAKER_02]: in queer waterways.

10:09.875 --> 10:14.377
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's just like I alex for a single nod.

10:15.098 --> 10:16.458
[SPEAKER_02]: A single look.

10:17.159 --> 10:26.363
[SPEAKER_01]: Alex is deliberately not looking at her in because she knows that she's told him about this a little bit.

10:26.843 --> 10:27.203
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't.

10:27.283 --> 10:30.405
[SPEAKER_01]: So she just, she's like, she folds her hands behind their head and she's like,

10:33.285 --> 10:39.672
[SPEAKER_01]: Hi, um, um, uh, Orion, blue, KO.

10:40.273 --> 10:47.161
[SPEAKER_04]: A still in turn, like grabs each of your hands, and then KO, when a still grabs yours.

10:48.282 --> 10:53.889
[SPEAKER_04]: Even though you have been separated from most of your divine powers,

10:54.381 --> 11:03.925
[SPEAKER_04]: You are still a demigod, you still possess your abilities, your innate powers that you've been born with that are inherited by you.

11:04.806 --> 11:09.628
[SPEAKER_04]: A still is long past the point of her death, but she is still alive.

11:10.720 --> 11:31.705
[SPEAKER_03]: I think in a, not subtle or polite way that a mortal would, but in the way that one inspects something in a store when they take it up and just kind of look at it and set it back down again, he leans in uncomfortably close to a spell and gives a kind of quick whip of that silver serpent tongue.

11:32.546 --> 11:33.426
[SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.

11:33.866 --> 11:35.926
[SPEAKER_03]: Do you, and he does it again?

11:36.567 --> 11:37.627
[SPEAKER_03]: What did you come from?

11:38.415 --> 11:43.443
[SPEAKER_02]: I think there's a moment in the glimpses between K.O.

11:43.603 --> 11:45.226
[SPEAKER_02]: and Arian where

11:45.843 --> 11:56.147
[SPEAKER_02]: Arian notices your like pushing forward and your tonsliming forward, and like catches one of your eyes and it's just like, okay.

11:56.507 --> 12:09.511
[SPEAKER_03]: I think when Arian sees kale, that eye that flashes should be gold like the sun, and there is a swirl of it looks like when you drop ink into water, but it's purple.

12:15.257 --> 12:16.238
[SPEAKER_04]: and clue.

12:17.118 --> 12:22.642
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm interested in using a little bit of magic to discern something about her.

12:23.162 --> 12:35.811
[SPEAKER_02]: Ed, Orian will help you with a sorcery by trying to lean into the primal sense of being a sirens and sussing out what ancient fuckery in particular is happening here.

12:36.371 --> 12:38.272
[SPEAKER_03]: For goal, it's going to be a six.

12:45.777 --> 12:57.044
[SPEAKER_03]: The swirl that Orion saw begins to kind of pulse through, almost like some of the scales on their face are translucent.

12:57.164 --> 13:00.586
[SPEAKER_03]: And there's just the ever so slight pulse, like a single...

13:01.807 --> 13:13.251
[SPEAKER_03]: Kayo experiences something that they do often, but not recently here in Roseville Beach, which is they can carry the portents of ill-ohmins.

13:13.911 --> 13:20.354
[SPEAKER_03]: And that tongue whips out tasting the ill-ohm in a roundestel looking to drink it in.

13:20.994 --> 13:22.914
[SPEAKER_04]: The first thing, Kayo, that you

13:30.560 --> 13:51.577
[SPEAKER_04]: coyote, they are not a shifter, they taste of magic, of living magic, almost like a spear taste, and then once that sweetness resides, you're left with this bitter, aftertaste of

13:52.731 --> 13:55.553
[SPEAKER_04]: being in the world too long.

13:56.134 --> 14:01.338
[SPEAKER_04]: Being bound to a mortal body too long.

14:02.078 --> 14:04.500
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you should really wait a minute.

14:05.361 --> 14:08.744
[SPEAKER_03]: And Kayo grabs that flask, holds it out.

14:09.344 --> 14:15.429
[SPEAKER_03]: Would you, you seem like you might want to go somewhere else, or at least some part of you does?

14:16.350 --> 14:19.953
[SPEAKER_04]: She doesn't say anything that she looks towards Alex, and she sighs.

14:20.770 --> 14:22.212
[SPEAKER_01]: dirt's so interesting right now.

14:22.532 --> 14:30.761
[SPEAKER_04]: Your conversation is interrupted as a tree begins to grow out of the ground separating the five of you around it.

14:31.802 --> 14:32.763
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a stealth.

14:33.424 --> 14:34.465
[SPEAKER_01]: A stealth queen.

14:35.066 --> 14:36.147
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, you're all met.

14:36.207 --> 14:38.790
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to we have to tree plant.

14:39.912 --> 14:53.198
[SPEAKER_02]: Manning, Arian like sizes a sell up and down is at this point not fully convinced that everything is fine and safe and kosher because he was told otherwise.

14:53.738 --> 14:56.239
[SPEAKER_02]: He's missing significant amounts of information.

14:56.619 --> 15:08.565
[SPEAKER_02]: What I would like to do is find where most of Manias are just probably like closer to where the bank site is and try and augment the water that was in his aquarium and various

15:09.819 --> 15:15.683
[SPEAKER_02]: to form a little sphere around him so that he doesn't get dragged up into the sky and dry out.

15:16.484 --> 15:33.215
[SPEAKER_05]: Lou would like to, if possible, not really knowing anything about a still asset of what his just occurred and be like, this isn't the crazy scene that's happened to me in the last month or two and like walk over and hold out an arm and be like, what do you like

15:39.412 --> 15:40.112
[SPEAKER_05]: for a second.

15:40.693 --> 15:44.875
[SPEAKER_04]: A still politely declines with a gesture of her hand.

15:44.935 --> 15:46.936
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just, oh, thank you, Lou.

15:46.956 --> 15:49.237
[SPEAKER_04]: Why don't you just show me the way instead?

15:49.977 --> 16:04.125
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there some way in which Lou can decipher that this woman doesn't want to be touched for prior reasons versus doesn't want to be touched for supernatural reasons?

16:05.892 --> 16:06.553
[SPEAKER_02]: Go ahead and roll.

16:06.893 --> 16:14.160
[SPEAKER_02]: Go, six, five, two, magic and the three shall go to injury.

16:14.180 --> 16:18.205
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to put a five in clue and a two in goal.

16:18.225 --> 16:19.506
[SPEAKER_05]: I think that's all I was asked for.

16:19.606 --> 16:23.450
[SPEAKER_05]: If I wasn't, I failed anything else because I only had two dice to roll.

16:25.825 --> 16:35.171
[SPEAKER_04]: As you burst the pipes in the building, the black shotguns, and you're unable to hold most of the water.

16:35.511 --> 16:40.495
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you tredged up water from the ocean, from the depths.

16:41.095 --> 16:45.498
[SPEAKER_04]: Mani required very particular circumstances to live on land.

16:46.138 --> 16:49.681
[SPEAKER_04]: and in order to cast the spell, you had to get closer.

16:49.881 --> 16:52.063
[SPEAKER_04]: You had to get inside of the building.

16:52.083 --> 16:55.446
[SPEAKER_04]: You succeeded in wrapping many in the water.

16:55.466 --> 17:10.018
[SPEAKER_04]: In fact, you have even pulled most of their appendages off of the tree, maybe one trailing and it's slowly sort of slipping down as the tree grows up, but you have been caught.

17:10.679 --> 17:12.284
[SPEAKER_04]: in part of the rapidly growing tree.

17:12.705 --> 17:17.639
[SPEAKER_04]: Nothing too crazy, but we're going to say the injury you sustain here is shock.

17:19.453 --> 17:27.815
[SPEAKER_04]: You've been around a lot of magic people who you've been around ghosts and you've been around living statues.

17:28.155 --> 17:30.275
[SPEAKER_04]: You've met Winged Dogfucks.

17:30.455 --> 17:37.377
[SPEAKER_04]: You dealt with phoenixes and salamanders, radiation, so many things this summer.

17:37.657 --> 17:39.057
[SPEAKER_04]: There's no way.

17:39.117 --> 17:40.077
[SPEAKER_04]: You have no clue.

17:40.217 --> 17:40.937
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, thank you.

17:40.957 --> 17:43.258
[SPEAKER_04]: They could not be wanting to be touched because if you touched them, you could,

17:43.699 --> 17:54.425
[SPEAKER_04]: petrify, or you could be incinerated, or you could be zapped of lightning, or irradiated, that is unsure, and you might even not trust yourself to make that judgment.

17:55.066 --> 18:02.350
[SPEAKER_04]: But you do see that they have a little knife hidden on their person.

18:03.030 --> 18:05.772
[SPEAKER_04]: They adjust their clothing so it's hidden even more.

18:06.257 --> 18:14.364
[SPEAKER_05]: of course I would be more than what I'd be absolutely more than willing to show you around and just guide you if you need it.

18:14.904 --> 18:18.788
[SPEAKER_05]: But I will say one thing and that thing is that

18:20.223 --> 18:31.590
[SPEAKER_05]: Except for KO because we simply recently met in this form, the rest of us aren't hiding anything that could harm each other.

18:31.990 --> 18:43.497
[SPEAKER_05]: And so I think that if we're gonna go forward and be amicable, especially on a day in which I'm at my wit's end, I would like you to disclose to the rest of the group what's in your pocket.

18:44.135 --> 18:48.379
[SPEAKER_04]: A still meets you with a dead pan stare.

18:49.019 --> 18:55.505
[SPEAKER_04]: She reaches down, she flips the knife out, and it like twirls around as she stabs it into a tree.

18:55.945 --> 19:01.430
[SPEAKER_04]: And when she releases the handle, it is the exact knife that is illustrated on Alex's arm.

19:01.970 --> 19:03.351
[SPEAKER_05]: See, that wasn't so hard.

19:03.411 --> 19:06.374
[SPEAKER_05]: So we all know that she has a knife now.

19:06.394 --> 19:11.418
[SPEAKER_01]: Lou, Lou, can we drop it, please?

19:12.643 --> 19:13.424
[SPEAKER_05]: She can carry the knife.

19:13.544 --> 19:15.166
[SPEAKER_05]: I just wanted us all to know she had it.

19:15.627 --> 19:16.548
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, worried about that.

19:17.249 --> 19:19.011
[SPEAKER_03]: Right, humans puncturable.

19:19.091 --> 19:19.432
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

19:20.152 --> 19:20.873
[SPEAKER_04]: I'll leave it there.

19:21.574 --> 19:23.416
[SPEAKER_05]: You don't have to, but okay.

19:23.977 --> 19:25.439
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm leaving my knife here.

19:26.120 --> 19:27.341
[SPEAKER_04]: Are you leaving it there for me?

19:27.822 --> 19:28.623
[SPEAKER_04]: And she walks forward.

19:30.285 --> 19:38.692
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, Alex, between you and I, your friend, acquaintance, ally, co-conspirator, don't play Coi.

19:39.412 --> 19:41.954
[SPEAKER_03]: You know that they're haunting that body, right?

19:42.715 --> 19:45.938
[SPEAKER_01]: Not in a fun... Oh, spirits' way!

19:46.758 --> 19:48.880
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a way of phrasing it, yeah.

19:49.320 --> 19:51.441
[SPEAKER_03]: and that they, they're souring.

19:52.222 --> 19:54.804
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if you leave line too long, it does become vinegar.

19:55.424 --> 19:58.026
[SPEAKER_01]: You've known Alex for all of what, like 30 minutes so far.

19:58.426 --> 20:02.509
[SPEAKER_01]: She was very like mellow until when you were like, all you should hate me, right?

20:02.849 --> 20:05.731
[SPEAKER_01]: She is extremely on edge right now.

20:05.831 --> 20:10.194
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it is whatever calm she had up at the garden gone.

20:10.515 --> 20:15.178
[SPEAKER_01]: It's completely gone, and she's just like, I don't need to hear that from you.

20:15.984 --> 20:19.567
[SPEAKER_03]: I just wanted to make sure you were aware that you were throwing in with a corpse.

20:20.327 --> 20:21.208
[SPEAKER_03]: Do it that as you will.

20:22.049 --> 20:23.309
[SPEAKER_01]: Alex is going to slap you.

20:24.030 --> 20:24.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Hard.

20:25.951 --> 20:32.416
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think Kayo was expecting it and is a little drunk and I don't even think would try and deflect it.

20:32.976 --> 20:37.720
[SPEAKER_03]: You should be grateful that I'm done with my wrath of what today.

20:38.365 --> 20:54.217
[SPEAKER_01]: I think you are already cognizant of this, but I spent 10 years with someone who is beyond mortality in the way that humans know.

20:54.877 --> 21:03.904
[SPEAKER_01]: If you think that a shriveled up empty, godling scares me, you've got another thing coming.

21:04.824 --> 21:05.805
[SPEAKER_01]: You do well to remember.

21:06.688 --> 21:21.078
[SPEAKER_03]: This towering serpent leans in their brow-froed, and those slid-ed eyes, like sunbeams, look back at you, and then a wicked smile-polls at the corner of their lips.

21:21.098 --> 21:34.827
[SPEAKER_03]: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

21:35.379 --> 21:37.240
[SPEAKER_01]: kiss my ass, and she walks past you.

21:40.582 --> 21:50.909
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to cut scene to Ariana, who is inside of the building, strung up a little bit by the tree, but not in a way that really did any harm to you.

21:50.929 --> 21:51.850
[SPEAKER_04]: Just sort of spook you.

21:52.410 --> 21:56.533
[SPEAKER_04]: Manny, Mr. War is not doing well.

21:56.553 --> 22:01.196
[SPEAKER_04]: You've staved off their death, but just for now,

22:05.713 --> 22:06.615
[SPEAKER_04]: they will die.

22:07.396 --> 22:12.765
[SPEAKER_04]: And you hear crackling of distant hunter as it starts to rain.

22:13.427 --> 22:17.814
[SPEAKER_04]: My friend, still in one piece, the first time you hear

22:18.963 --> 22:19.724
[SPEAKER_04]: their voice.

22:20.604 --> 22:25.308
[SPEAKER_04]: Not their inscriptions on the wall.

22:26.529 --> 22:30.252
[SPEAKER_04]: And it is unrecognizable.

22:30.352 --> 22:32.914
[SPEAKER_04]: It is the bellowing of the ocean.

22:33.014 --> 22:37.217
[SPEAKER_04]: It is the silence of the depths.

22:38.258 --> 22:40.420
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a cry for help.

22:41.339 --> 22:48.701
[SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, I thought you know, but I'm sorry that you're, you're holiday, and Rose would be just being cut short.

22:49.742 --> 23:04.767
[SPEAKER_04]: A weak tentacles sort of grabs it shuffles to the bookshelf, and it climbs up step by step, and as it pulls a book out, you need to hire bookshelf holders.

23:05.387 --> 23:09.068
[SPEAKER_04]: They pull themselves out from under it, out from the water.

23:09.761 --> 23:14.765
[SPEAKER_04]: and you hear that unknowable sound again, as they push this book to you.

23:15.666 --> 23:22.632
[SPEAKER_04]: This is, it is from Mr. War's private collection of things dredged up from the bottom of the ocean.

23:23.152 --> 23:30.359
[SPEAKER_04]: It is a spell book written in ancient Greek detailing, Mr. War, and many other creatures like them.

23:30.819 --> 23:37.625
[SPEAKER_04]: There is a spell and incantation, maybe a ritual in the front, but you can't decipher it alone.

23:38.472 --> 23:59.469
[SPEAKER_02]: Arian as if he is holding like essentially a levitating leash with a puppy in it and this book Quickly it's like all right hurt come and Arian's going to drag this levitating ball over with the book Along to with the group are gathered and it's just like brother brother.

23:59.589 --> 24:00.029
[SPEAKER_02]: I need you.

24:00.089 --> 24:00.650
[SPEAKER_02]: I need your eyes

24:01.595 --> 24:05.919
[SPEAKER_04]: Hey, oh, comes running and looks at this water balloon that you're carrying.

24:06.500 --> 24:14.228
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a crammed inside and there's tentacles dragging on the floor as they're still like attached to the tree and sliding off of it.

24:14.808 --> 24:16.030
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, hello.

24:16.976 --> 24:17.616
[SPEAKER_03]: They are my friend.

24:18.457 --> 24:24.499
[SPEAKER_03]: His voice resonates very strangely as I would like to use a special ability.

24:25.099 --> 24:30.501
[SPEAKER_03]: Drunk conversationalist to speak to Mr. War.

24:31.441 --> 24:36.903
[SPEAKER_04]: This balloon, this manor war, this thing, is very, it's very weak.

24:37.204 --> 24:38.644
[SPEAKER_04]: It's gasping for air.

24:38.724 --> 24:40.185
[SPEAKER_04]: It says trap.

24:47.200 --> 24:47.761
[SPEAKER_03]: trap them.

24:48.942 --> 24:50.304
[SPEAKER_03]: We've to trap them.

24:51.085 --> 24:52.646
[SPEAKER_03]: He cannot be contained.

24:53.327 --> 24:54.989
[SPEAKER_03]: Normally, what?

24:55.830 --> 24:57.312
[SPEAKER_01]: What is he?

24:58.013 --> 24:59.414
[SPEAKER_04]: He looks over to Alex.

25:00.215 --> 25:07.724
[SPEAKER_04]: There are too many names and a true description would break your mind.

25:09.103 --> 25:10.584
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, my friend, asmodious.

25:11.105 --> 25:14.567
[SPEAKER_03]: And, KO raises that blackened paw hand.

25:15.188 --> 25:15.768
[SPEAKER_03]: A truck.

25:16.469 --> 25:16.729
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

25:17.630 --> 25:19.531
[SPEAKER_04]: Asmodious.

25:19.551 --> 25:22.874
[SPEAKER_04]: He is better known as compulsion.

25:24.055 --> 25:26.596
[SPEAKER_04]: That is what we call him.

25:27.477 --> 25:28.078
[SPEAKER_04]: His brothers.

25:29.138 --> 25:29.959
[SPEAKER_04]: Compulsion?

25:30.980 --> 25:35.123
[SPEAKER_04]: I do not know how he was contained the last time.

25:36.162 --> 25:39.124
[SPEAKER_04]: but I did keep the one relic that could help.

25:39.845 --> 25:40.586
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, where?

25:41.546 --> 25:48.672
[SPEAKER_04]: And he gently moves your head with his weak tentacle towards the Grimoire Aryan holds.

25:49.493 --> 25:55.438
[SPEAKER_04]: This is useful looking, and there's another crackle of Thunder Closer this time.

25:55.983 --> 25:59.745
[SPEAKER_04]: and it's getting more consistent quicker.

26:00.765 --> 26:01.625
[SPEAKER_02]: We're running out of time.

26:02.466 --> 26:04.106
[SPEAKER_02]: Manny, I have to put it back.

26:04.807 --> 26:06.607
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I mean, are you ready?

26:07.628 --> 26:13.490
[SPEAKER_04]: He diffs you one final book already.

26:14.410 --> 26:18.292
[SPEAKER_04]: A guide to banking and the joys it brings.

26:22.935 --> 26:33.140
[SPEAKER_02]: Aryan goes towards the closest beachfront, and slowly lowers this sort of like levitating sphere of water into the ocean.

26:33.940 --> 26:46.606
[SPEAKER_02]: And as soon as he's able to place manny into the ocean once again, he smiles and says, this final farewell, I say, see the later Mr. War, tell my mother,

26:51.663 --> 26:55.585
[SPEAKER_04]: manny slithers down to the ocean.

26:56.525 --> 26:59.606
[SPEAKER_04]: And as you break, I line with them.

27:00.487 --> 27:02.768
[SPEAKER_04]: Something else slithers out.

27:03.808 --> 27:10.631
[SPEAKER_04]: You see a fin, prop it out of the ocean, a shark, far too close to shore.

27:11.952 --> 27:15.493
[SPEAKER_04]: And then another, another down the beach.

27:16.954 --> 27:17.434
[SPEAKER_04]: The storm.

27:19.325 --> 27:29.547
[SPEAKER_04]: Crackles again, as the sky darkens, blocking out any of the moonlights, and Halley's Coven steps on shore.

27:30.788 --> 27:46.211
[SPEAKER_05]: Liu watches all of this happen, watches Mr. War go back to the ocean, and she just goes, um, so I know that he kind of freaked me out being my landlord or anything, but what does this mean for my rental agreement?

27:47.076 --> 28:01.459
[SPEAKER_04]: As you say that there is a bolt of lightning that strikes right by your feet, as Cali's come in sort of throws a spear in your direction, and again, it lands right where that lightning, almost like a call to action.

28:01.979 --> 28:02.980
[SPEAKER_04]: Here is the situation.

28:03.900 --> 28:06.820
[SPEAKER_04]: A hurricane is approaching Rosalmach.

28:07.501 --> 28:13.382
[SPEAKER_04]: You, all, can easily intuit that Cali is responsible for this hurricane.

28:14.390 --> 28:17.933
[SPEAKER_04]: Using the Layline Magic, they pull from Aryan to accomplish it.

28:18.313 --> 28:22.777
[SPEAKER_04]: Burkin Halley will destroy Rosalbeach, and it will kill anyone on me out of it.

28:23.417 --> 28:25.579
[SPEAKER_04]: All of the citizens and residents are still here.

28:26.460 --> 28:33.865
[SPEAKER_04]: You have to make a choice if you're going to evacuate the citizens, or if you're going to confront Halley.

28:34.846 --> 28:36.067
[SPEAKER_02]: Halley is my responsibility.

28:36.868 --> 28:39.170
[SPEAKER_02]: She's able to do this because of the deal we struck.

28:39.270 --> 28:40.751
[SPEAKER_02]: No, Alex, I will not hear it.

28:44.223 --> 28:44.903
[SPEAKER_01]: What'd you suggest?

28:47.765 --> 28:49.846
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like to call the sword.

28:50.526 --> 28:52.547
[SPEAKER_04]: You don't even need to call on magic.

28:53.027 --> 28:56.589
[SPEAKER_04]: As you look to the sky, and there is a single parting.

28:56.649 --> 29:07.074
[SPEAKER_04]: As if somebody stretched their hand across the sky, pushing the clouds back, and you see the stars align in a pattern of a new hero.

29:08.275 --> 29:08.695
[SPEAKER_04]: Atticus.

29:09.636 --> 29:11.837
[SPEAKER_04]: And the sword falls from the sky.

29:12.982 --> 29:14.223
[SPEAKER_04]: and lands at your feet.

29:15.243 --> 29:16.483
[SPEAKER_01]: You might get some inside of that.

29:16.924 --> 29:18.604
[SPEAKER_04]: That was a wonderful trick.

29:18.844 --> 29:19.184
[SPEAKER_01]: Doodigan.

29:19.745 --> 29:22.106
[SPEAKER_02]: Just shoots you the nasty aside I.

29:22.706 --> 29:23.526
[SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me.

29:24.066 --> 29:31.449
[SPEAKER_02]: You see that Orion looks at the sword and just says, I'll have you know that I've never read the blade before.

29:31.469 --> 29:33.290
[SPEAKER_02]: First time for anything, right?

29:34.267 --> 29:34.567
[SPEAKER_03]: Never.

29:35.047 --> 29:35.387
[SPEAKER_02]: Never.

29:35.847 --> 29:36.968
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not even that hard.

29:37.288 --> 29:38.548
[SPEAKER_03]: The creature of the depths.

29:39.828 --> 29:41.148
[SPEAKER_03]: The lakes are a new feature.

29:41.308 --> 29:43.369
[SPEAKER_03]: Soads end up down there.

29:43.389 --> 29:45.329
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't use them.

29:46.110 --> 29:51.511
[SPEAKER_01]: While the mythic siblings are having a whole thing over there, Alex is going to go to Lou.

29:51.991 --> 29:53.031
[SPEAKER_01]: You don't have to stay for this.

29:53.891 --> 29:57.872
[SPEAKER_05]: Lou is struggling right now, like figuring out where they need to be.

29:58.685 --> 30:05.227
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you want to help, how you do that is up to you, and I promise you that I am not going to let anything happen to you.

30:06.188 --> 30:06.308
[SPEAKER_02]: 3.

30:06.328 --> 30:15.211
[SPEAKER_02]: And Peel himself away from KO to his two beautiful, wonderful and powerful Lesbian roommates grabs them both into a hug.

30:15.751 --> 30:19.232
[SPEAKER_02]: Alright team, we are going to save Rose with each.

30:19.925 --> 30:25.451
[SPEAKER_02]: And we're going to return here in one piece because we still have a deposit that we need to pay for for the house.

30:26.232 --> 30:32.438
[SPEAKER_02]: And you have things to say to your not girlfriend and you have something to do with your ex.

30:33.119 --> 30:35.982
[SPEAKER_02]: Whatever that is, dead ex.

30:36.915 --> 30:38.256
[SPEAKER_02]: just another filthy look.

30:38.917 --> 30:46.184
[SPEAKER_02]: We will deal with that later, but what matters right now is, and Orian has one hand on your cheek and one on Alex's cheek.

30:46.645 --> 30:53.051
[SPEAKER_02]: What matters is that you are both my favorite husband, and you will win.

30:53.752 --> 30:54.853
[SPEAKER_02]: You know other lesbians?

30:55.794 --> 30:59.318
[SPEAKER_02]: No other lesbians, just the two of you are of my favorites.

31:00.239 --> 31:00.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll take it.

31:09.188 --> 31:31.902
[SPEAKER_05]: Lou is still trying to figure out exactly what to do, but in this moment she sees both of you, and she says, I have always felt a duty to take care of the people of Roseville Beach, the people on this island, and there are so many of them.

31:32.521 --> 31:46.444
[SPEAKER_05]: back there who need my help, but even if it's just for a summer, and she looks up at the both of you, you are also people of Roseville Beach and need of protection.

31:47.664 --> 31:54.766
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think Lou wants to at that moment in a less aggressive way than she has before.

31:55.666 --> 31:56.466
[SPEAKER_05]: Call for the

32:01.002 --> 32:17.328
[SPEAKER_05]: And I feel like in the moment it comes to her, there is almost this pulse wave that kind of travels along the beach like the sand ripples off to both sides as it goes the length of Roseville Beach and not that it's

32:18.352 --> 32:34.983
[SPEAKER_05]: actually magically creating a barrier of sorts, but more of a symbol of the fact that despite Lou not really having access to the arcane in any way, her dedication to this island is what has mattered the whole time.

32:36.144 --> 32:41.948
[SPEAKER_04]: In this act of love, you are gifted magic by September Braw.

32:42.768 --> 32:45.130
[SPEAKER_04]: Please roll for magic.

32:45.903 --> 32:49.745
[SPEAKER_04]: as if you were a witch and had the sorcery skill.

32:50.125 --> 32:53.506
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh, I'm helping Boon also help with Cvend.

32:59.128 --> 33:08.152
[SPEAKER_01]: While this is starting to build, Alex turned his back to a style and just walks up and looks at her, I don't have anything to say.

33:08.792 --> 33:10.252
[SPEAKER_01]: And just grabs her and kisses her.

33:11.293 --> 33:11.913
[SPEAKER_04]: The camera?

33:12.522 --> 33:14.784
[SPEAKER_04]: pans around you in a circle.

33:15.144 --> 33:20.149
[SPEAKER_04]: It's faded out, but we can see the events happening.

33:20.209 --> 33:32.460
[SPEAKER_04]: In Rosalbe, we can see Lou, we see Theo, we see Ariana, we see Hurricane Halley, we see Halley's oven, it turns to the trees, which are growing out of the buildings.

33:33.461 --> 33:36.002
[SPEAKER_04]: and it turns again, and it's the city.

33:36.602 --> 33:45.886
[SPEAKER_04]: And the first time that you alex really ever showed this kind of ability, it's interrupted as lightning strikes again.

33:46.527 --> 33:48.348
[SPEAKER_04]: A little bit too close to you, Alex.

33:48.688 --> 33:56.551
[SPEAKER_04]: In fact, I think Estelle pushes you out of the way, and doesn't get hit herself, but it does if she was trying to get hit.

33:57.411 --> 33:58.292
[SPEAKER_01]: We're gonna fight about this.

33:59.019 --> 34:01.883
[SPEAKER_04]: Okay, we'll save the beach first and then we'll find out.

34:01.903 --> 34:04.106
[SPEAKER_01]: And she just takes out a cigarette and lights it.

34:04.747 --> 34:07.190
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I've got a good news for you.

34:07.911 --> 34:09.012
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been practicing.

34:10.935 --> 34:12.537
[SPEAKER_05]: So I had a lot of diet role.

34:12.577 --> 34:13.618
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you all very much.

34:13.979 --> 34:16.783
[SPEAKER_05]: And I did role three-sixes.

34:19.337 --> 34:37.490
[SPEAKER_04]: Lou, this shield is summoned to your arm, and just as you described it releases this wave of energy and the sand to your right, down for a mile, the other way, down for another

34:44.545 --> 34:51.089
[SPEAKER_04]: Enhanced with the power of a lay-line, this will keep Rosalbeach safe for now, but it will not last forever.

34:51.129 --> 34:53.431
[SPEAKER_04]: Halley can break through it.

34:59.374 --> 35:06.079
[SPEAKER_04]: Halley rises from the ocean, as she walks on the water to the sea.

35:06.679 --> 35:09.161
[SPEAKER_04]: Theo, this is your first time encountering Halley.

35:09.361 --> 35:11.142
[SPEAKER_04]: She is a sea wolf.

35:12.158 --> 35:34.297
[SPEAKER_04]: made from original form, her true form, a school of eels, and this is obvious to you, even in human form, as the trail she leaves electrifies behind her, as the storm, the hurricane thunderous, with crackling lightning in her stead.

35:34.778 --> 35:39.041
[SPEAKER_04]: She stands to the beach, and she takes in the

35:40.122 --> 35:46.487
[SPEAKER_04]: and then her shadow begins to grow long, as the entity, as movies, compulsion.

35:46.988 --> 35:55.995
[SPEAKER_04]: Whatever you want to call them, aids her, and begins to channel chaos divine power into hellie.

35:58.517 --> 36:07.985
[SPEAKER_04]: She flicks her claws and begins to strike at the barrier with lightning, cracking it slow.

36:10.323 --> 36:17.491
[SPEAKER_02]: Arian pulls the necklace off of his neck, tosses it to alex, you have pockets, right?

36:17.531 --> 36:24.298
[SPEAKER_02]: Keep that safe, you see he starts running as soon as he tears off the necklace and tosses it to alex.

36:24.738 --> 36:28.062
[SPEAKER_02]: Each football we see scales begin to

36:29.127 --> 36:48.530
[SPEAKER_02]: heal from off of his skin onto his body and the second he jumps in is when the transformation fully takes and his legs turned back into that long blacked ale and he falls into the water and as soon as he falls it he ooze and swirls around hally and behind her he says

36:49.852 --> 37:03.604
[SPEAKER_02]: Good evening sister, I'm very, very sorry but this is a part of you are not invited to and pulls the waves from behind him as the high tide comes in and it's using that moment to pull from behind her towards him.

37:04.084 --> 37:15.434
[SPEAKER_04]: The two of you get caught in the rib tide as Halley plunges and she actually hits her head against the sandbake and as she hits she disperses into her eel forms.

37:17.067 --> 37:20.149
[SPEAKER_04]: On the other side of the barrier, you begin to hear Halle's Colts.

37:20.989 --> 37:29.274
[SPEAKER_04]: Colts, Coven, Halle's Coven, they are calling to you, to join the ocean, to join them in the ocean.

37:30.195 --> 37:38.860
[SPEAKER_05]: I reach out and I grasp to possibly bruising strength on Alex's arm to not let her walk forward.

37:40.404 --> 37:43.327
[SPEAKER_04]: I need you to roll to resist the sirens call.

37:43.788 --> 37:49.895
[SPEAKER_01]: This will be goal, injury, clue, foreign goal, foreign clue, and I take an injury.

37:51.897 --> 37:57.383
[SPEAKER_04]: You're raptured by the song as you hear, it's not like,

37:58.158 --> 37:58.778
[SPEAKER_04]: a song.

37:59.358 --> 38:06.341
[SPEAKER_04]: So much as it is, a feeling of safety, of belonging that pulls you forward.

38:06.861 --> 38:12.022
[SPEAKER_04]: As you step into the ocean, Lou, you go to reach out, but it's just a little bit too late.

38:12.443 --> 38:22.206
[SPEAKER_04]: Alex is waist-deep in the water, and that's when you get a flash of a memory in your head, in your mind.

38:22.706 --> 38:26.387
[SPEAKER_04]: You feel in your pocket, a little tin, of these works.

38:27.255 --> 38:30.416
[SPEAKER_04]: Before you can apply it though, you're swept under the water.

38:31.117 --> 38:35.259
[SPEAKER_04]: We're going to take an injury here for, we're going to go swept away.

38:35.939 --> 38:43.702
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think that there is anything that Lou can then physically do because she is going to keep that barrier up.

38:44.162 --> 38:52.546
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there a way for her though to feel the magic and almost like extend it in a certain way

38:56.857 --> 38:59.899
[SPEAKER_05]: almost carve it around their bodies.

39:00.820 --> 39:13.029
[SPEAKER_04]: This is your very first actual real spell, Lou, and a stealth sees you struggling and takes it upon herself to aid you in this journey of learning magic.

39:13.730 --> 39:23.617
[SPEAKER_04]: You feel a gentle hand against your shoulder, an arm wrap around as her head rests on your shoulder.

39:24.017 --> 39:26.039
[SPEAKER_04]: Next to your head, and almost like a gentle whisper,

39:26.615 --> 39:27.435
[SPEAKER_04]: You have to focus them.

39:28.115 --> 39:31.477
[SPEAKER_04]: She reaches her hand out and she holds it over your hands.

39:32.317 --> 39:40.159
[SPEAKER_05]: To Lou, this feels like when she has a plumbing problem that is just so hard to fix.

39:40.879 --> 39:48.602
[SPEAKER_05]: And it is requiring a level of focus that she is used to while exercising a different muscle.

39:49.402 --> 39:52.425
[SPEAKER_03]: KO is a little bit taken by it.

39:52.585 --> 39:54.687
[SPEAKER_03]: There's storms, there's eels.

39:55.067 --> 40:07.900
[SPEAKER_03]: There's a bunch of things going on, and he walks up and he sees these people trying to help ones who offered to at least not judge them if not help them in their shared task.

40:09.621 --> 40:17.669
[SPEAKER_03]: and despite the recklessness of his previous behavior he does understand that they do need to live.

40:18.870 --> 40:26.737
[SPEAKER_03]: He instead of choosing sides because that would be a lot of thinking that he's not up for at the moment to figure out who's

40:26.917 --> 40:28.577
[SPEAKER_03]: Why eels what's happening here?

40:28.757 --> 40:51.081
[SPEAKER_03]: No, you're trying to hurt my new siren friend and is going to I think kind of Extend out that buoyancy of levity to them in hopes that it will help buoy them and as I would like to try and bless them with divine Avery as a still guides you through the magic just like you said.

40:51.341 --> 40:55.762
[SPEAKER_04]: It's it's a clock in in the pipes You see it like plumbing

40:56.360 --> 40:57.401
[SPEAKER_04]: and it all just kind of makes sense.

40:57.421 --> 41:00.925
[SPEAKER_04]: In fact, what you're seeing is lane lines.

41:01.585 --> 41:05.950
[SPEAKER_04]: That's the plumbing that you are seeing and you are attempting to sort of,

41:06.707 --> 41:07.368
[SPEAKER_04]: readjust.

41:08.048 --> 41:08.529
[SPEAKER_04]: And it works.

41:08.889 --> 41:17.796
[SPEAKER_04]: You're able to divert this layline magic of the shield just far enough to catch alex, to catch aria.

41:18.237 --> 41:22.120
[SPEAKER_04]: Alex, as soon as this barrier passes you, the song is gone.

41:22.640 --> 41:25.803
[SPEAKER_04]: And you can resurface, you can even take away that injury.

41:26.383 --> 41:28.845
[SPEAKER_04]: However, blue, the magic is draining.

41:29.226 --> 41:32.308
[SPEAKER_04]: The same way September gave her life to cast magic.

41:32.989 --> 41:34.330
[SPEAKER_04]: This is requiring it from you.

41:34.918 --> 41:40.478
[SPEAKER_04]: The injury you're going to take here is exhausted and this scare you're going to take here is death.

41:41.870 --> 41:49.332
[SPEAKER_03]: the idea here is that they are because there's like this reaching shadow that he feels such guilt about.

41:49.732 --> 42:02.316
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the idea here is to give them without maybe the death part of his normal ability that certainty and levity that he brought to offer to soldiers who are going to die.

42:02.696 --> 42:08.458
[SPEAKER_03]: It hopes that they have their best final day, but hopefully this one's without the final, maybe.

42:10.615 --> 42:14.278
[SPEAKER_04]: your magic has been touched by the entity.

42:15.378 --> 42:21.562
[SPEAKER_04]: Choose two of the people here to gain the boon and two to be harmed.

42:22.283 --> 42:30.548
[SPEAKER_03]: He sees Lou the Clarist and can really understand what she's doing just because it's like pretty obvious.

42:30.989 --> 42:39.414
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think that one is like right in front of him easy to get right and he is, I think a little fixated.

42:40.676 --> 42:58.438
[SPEAKER_03]: on A-Lix right now and without intending but also because she is the closest to the people that he is used to dealing with that that one is familiar and easy and unfortunately A-Rian and Estelle are not the forefront of his very short memory.

42:59.561 --> 43:05.046
[SPEAKER_03]: Lou and Alex you feel there's nothing physical that changes about you.

43:05.066 --> 43:10.130
[SPEAKER_03]: There is a brightness like someone said you're going to do well today and you believe them.

43:10.531 --> 43:12.432
[SPEAKER_03]: Arian and a stale.

43:13.053 --> 43:24.022
[SPEAKER_03]: You know when you get to that point in either lack of sleep or a neibreation, any kind of alteration in the self that it stops being fun like you might fall down

43:25.083 --> 43:31.052
[SPEAKER_03]: Like maybe emotional vertigo is more than just emotion and maybe the ground is not quite right anymore.

43:31.954 --> 43:39.705
[SPEAKER_03]: That's what it feels like, but the worst part is that with it comes this sickly feeling.

43:40.506 --> 43:51.251
[SPEAKER_03]: as the darkness, the corruption pulls at the places of Aurean where people believe that the swamp thing was real.

43:51.811 --> 43:55.553
[SPEAKER_03]: The creature from the black lagoon is real, a stell,

43:56.613 --> 44:10.899
[SPEAKER_03]: has that same creeping sensation of every story that anyone's ever told, with a witch with a prolonged nose and a wart, as they are corrupted, with not the same magic is kale at all.

44:11.639 --> 44:21.383
[SPEAKER_03]: The boon is the feeling of a good moment, and like many false luckstones and things like that there is another side to it, which the others are experiencing.

44:22.023 --> 44:23.544
[SPEAKER_03]: But, you know, some people think

44:28.298 --> 44:31.380
[SPEAKER_04]: you can both remove one injury or scare.

44:31.920 --> 44:41.547
[SPEAKER_01]: I have none right now, and if I have perceived this, and I see that something is affecting a still, I'm going to try and swap the effect with her.

44:42.327 --> 44:46.310
[SPEAKER_04]: Magic and injury and goal.

44:46.870 --> 44:54.115
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to take away Exhaust said, because Lou is actively doing this, but I will take away the scare of death

44:57.624 --> 45:00.429
[SPEAKER_05]: That just simply hasn't even crossed loose mind.

45:01.451 --> 45:03.254
[SPEAKER_05]: That doesn't matter right now.

45:03.855 --> 45:04.676
[SPEAKER_01]: Five goes to magic.

45:04.997 --> 45:05.638
[SPEAKER_01]: Four to gold.

45:05.878 --> 45:06.459
[SPEAKER_01]: Four to injured.

45:06.660 --> 45:07.181
[SPEAKER_01]: Two in trouble.

45:09.024 --> 45:20.990
[SPEAKER_04]: You reach out to direct this heart, this curse, really, towards yourself, and this still clocks it, and she reaches out to redirect it back to herself.

45:21.490 --> 45:26.392
[SPEAKER_04]: You both get hit with the harm, which is like corrupting, I think, is the best way to describe that.

45:26.632 --> 45:33.315
[SPEAKER_04]: And there is a rippling throughout the water, anyone inside, so Ariane, Alex, you can hear

45:39.715 --> 45:40.895
[SPEAKER_04]: creature would be useful to me.

45:41.775 --> 45:42.295
[SPEAKER_04]: Retriever.

45:42.936 --> 45:49.717
[SPEAKER_02]: A rean in this moment is trying to still subdue a hally.

45:49.737 --> 46:01.339
[SPEAKER_02]: And what he's going to do is, now that the wave has pushed hally downwards, he's going to unsheath the sword and attempt to like have her at sword point.

46:02.019 --> 46:03.119
[SPEAKER_02]: As you pull out

46:08.380 --> 46:16.923
[SPEAKER_04]: in this school of eels, pulls her hands apart to the last lightning at you, and it channels into Atticus's Sword.

46:17.443 --> 46:23.805
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, the boon of handsome men, and like Fold said poorly, but trained on Halley regardless.

46:24.565 --> 46:27.906
[SPEAKER_02]: And Halley, it sees you, you hear.

46:28.978 --> 46:35.464
[SPEAKER_04]: really shouldn't have dealt with you earlier but now I have no time and she attempts to slow their back to shore.

46:36.064 --> 46:52.038
[SPEAKER_02]: I gave you a chance against the server you're not making it easy and he's going to like kick off his fins in a one swift motion to soon towards her and try and grab her across the shore there and hold the blade against her neck.

46:52.505 --> 46:57.609
[SPEAKER_01]: I heard get that creature and I'm assuming that they're talking about my fucking life.

46:57.929 --> 47:11.659
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think this is where I look screams, the fuck you will and is going to as she like is tracking this sort of fast-moving collection of sentient eels underwater just hits that shit with a bane.

47:12.039 --> 47:21.566
[SPEAKER_04]: You pin helly against the floor of the ocean as the bane from alex encounters her spell that she attempts to cast to get away from you.

47:21.846 --> 47:32.535
[SPEAKER_04]: She digs her nails into the sand as she reverts back to a humanoid form, and she calls out in that same siren voice.

47:33.375 --> 47:34.696
[SPEAKER_04]: That's my voice!

47:35.677 --> 47:42.503
[SPEAKER_04]: A still steps through the barrier.

47:42.523 --> 47:47.547
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't know a still, and I think

47:49.147 --> 47:57.049
[SPEAKER_05]: that I know that if I were to try to move the barrier any more,

47:57.926 --> 47:59.346
[SPEAKER_05]: it would completely fail.

48:00.247 --> 48:10.470
[SPEAKER_05]: I simply am sweating at this point, probably like on one knee in the sand, just with the effort of sustaining what I have so far.

48:11.210 --> 48:19.593
[SPEAKER_05]: And while I don't know a spell, I do know that I saw Alex put trust in her.

48:20.473 --> 48:23.294
[SPEAKER_05]: And so if she is going out there,

48:28.622 --> 48:36.347
[SPEAKER_05]: And if she's going out there to help them, and she gets harmed, then all Luke can hope is that Alex will forgive her.

48:41.850 --> 48:44.251
[SPEAKER_04]: Alex, there's a rippling in the water.

48:44.931 --> 48:57.679
[SPEAKER_04]: But only you can, I have been paying close attention to you, which it seems your friend has crossed

48:59.799 --> 49:01.140
[SPEAKER_03]: line into my attention.

49:02.220 --> 49:08.423
[SPEAKER_04]: You should know, my intent is to do her harm, but it doesn't have to be this way, Elizabeth.

49:09.324 --> 49:22.130
[SPEAKER_04]: We can leave your friend untouched, unscored, alive, but in return, you must lead me to the lay line.

49:22.991 --> 49:24.031
[SPEAKER_03]: That is all I ask.

49:24.872 --> 49:26.953
[SPEAKER_04]: No that I will find it, regardless.

49:27.995 --> 49:29.676
[SPEAKER_04]: And this is the only way to save her.

49:31.136 --> 49:36.439
[SPEAKER_04]: You watch us still steps forward into the water.

49:37.279 --> 49:40.660
[SPEAKER_01]: There are two voices in A-Lix's head right now.

49:41.321 --> 49:53.606
[SPEAKER_01]: The first one is her of the one that would and has already done enormous sacrifice to keep us down alive.

49:54.366 --> 50:14.673
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there is the other one, from not too long ago that screamed at Aryan about taking deals with this creature, and then that's second one continues into the follow-up to that argument, which was if I had thought for a second that you were doing this for real love, I wouldn't be mad.

50:15.873 --> 50:27.081
[SPEAKER_01]: And then both of those voices are drowned out by a stells, saying you have to do it, only you can do it.

50:29.224 --> 50:42.777
[SPEAKER_01]: In almost a whisper under her breath, Alec says, I won't, because I know that you can't hurt her,

50:51.509 --> 50:59.659
[SPEAKER_01]: I am going to magic sort of like reverse call my way to the shore and I want to shoot like a rocket.

51:01.481 --> 51:03.723
[SPEAKER_04]: It'll be magic and goal and harm.

51:04.224 --> 51:05.245
[SPEAKER_01]: I will add another trouble die.

51:06.066 --> 51:10.130
[SPEAKER_01]: I have to maintain control of the magic so I will have to use the six for that.

51:10.611 --> 51:11.432
[SPEAKER_01]: Everything else is a four.

51:13.397 --> 51:19.319
[SPEAKER_04]: You jettison yourself out of all the water, but it's not smooth, and it's not gentle.

51:19.759 --> 51:29.321
[SPEAKER_04]: You plummet on top of a cell, as the two of you sink into the shore, almost like your hands dug into the sand, penning her down.

51:29.742 --> 51:34.443
[SPEAKER_04]: You can see that her magic has already begun to fade.

51:35.103 --> 51:41.645
[SPEAKER_04]: It's not quick, but something is tapping into her and draining her.

51:42.529 --> 51:47.812
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna take out the little beeswax and I'm gonna kind of like swab it in both of her ears and like my own.

51:47.852 --> 51:54.795
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm just like, honestly, this is not how I thought I was gonna be on top.

51:55.175 --> 52:00.438
[SPEAKER_01]: Is this not the time I thought humor might be a thing to do here?

52:00.978 --> 52:02.839
[SPEAKER_04]: Her eyes kind of go back to normal.

52:07.121 --> 52:10.362
[SPEAKER_04]: And she brushes your hair behind your ear

52:12.560 --> 52:24.264
[SPEAKER_04]: Her voice in your head, Alex, it's time, don't think of it as sad, it's just change.

52:26.125 --> 52:29.946
[SPEAKER_04]: And I would rather the change beyond our terms.

52:30.686 --> 52:36.668
[SPEAKER_01]: No, no, I just, here here I have you, you don't, we don't have to

52:37.693 --> 52:42.396
[SPEAKER_04]: With her other hand, a still places it on your heart.

52:43.136 --> 52:46.378
[SPEAKER_04]: Love, that's the funny thing about it, Alex.

52:47.519 --> 52:50.001
[SPEAKER_04]: It never truly goes away.

52:51.341 --> 52:53.483
[SPEAKER_04]: I will always be there with you.

52:54.023 --> 53:03.469
[SPEAKER_04]: Every time you experience a moment of joy, I will too.

53:04.429 --> 53:04.850
[SPEAKER_04]: This is,

53:06.108 --> 53:12.072
[SPEAKER_04]: What I can do, to save you, don't take that from me, Alex.

53:12.833 --> 53:13.473
[SPEAKER_01]: It's too much.

53:13.993 --> 53:16.835
[SPEAKER_01]: Here, you're still asking too much.

53:17.035 --> 53:20.017
[SPEAKER_01]: I, all of my joy has always been yours.

53:21.519 --> 53:28.984
[SPEAKER_04]: She places her hand against the nape of your neck, and brings your head to me hers.

53:29.784 --> 53:30.164
[SPEAKER_05]: Please.

53:31.505 --> 53:33.907
[SPEAKER_04]: You've always been very special to me, Alex.

53:35.642 --> 53:44.351
[SPEAKER_04]: Out of all of the humans I've met, you made life worth living, still alive.

53:50.177 --> 53:57.245
[SPEAKER_01]: Alex thinks back to the first year that

53:58.605 --> 54:20.158
[SPEAKER_01]: she knew Estelle and there's almost like flashback of that moment where she first started picking up magic she was good at it but there were things that were difficult for her and she struggled and in that little subway haven for her covenant of one Estelle would

54:21.533 --> 54:45.380
[SPEAKER_01]: correct her gesture, her form, light touches, never too far, but there was something, and they both knew it, and neither of them did anything for a year because it wouldn't be right, it wouldn't make sense, and the A-Lix first learned call.

54:46.220 --> 54:49.682
[SPEAKER_01]: Call requires you to name the thing, that's its secret.

54:50.202 --> 55:12.994
[SPEAKER_01]: You have to know it's true name, and she calls a flower from the fields, one that was out in the area just outside of town, and she calls it, and the light bent around her and crackled firework light with blue and fuchsia sparks, and suddenly there was a, like the bend snap back in her hand, there it was, the flower,

55:13.574 --> 55:21.916
[SPEAKER_01]: but she hands it over to Estelle, like proudly, there's that same little crackle of blue fireworks between their fingers.

55:22.576 --> 55:40.219
[SPEAKER_01]: And Estelle steps back and so does Alex, and there's a moment, and Alex gets this stupid grin on her face, like ones that you've seen when she gets cocky, and when she thinks she's being smart and clever, and she calls Estelle to her and crashes into her.

55:40.838 --> 56:00.704
[SPEAKER_01]: and there's just a moment before they kiss that is the lightest laughter that you have ever heard from Alex and there's another flash and it's the moment after 10 years the day that Estelle presented

56:05.282 --> 56:29.189
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, it's not perfect, but you remember it through your own narrative, but with your head pressed against a stealth, you, you get glimpses of hers, and the scene shifts behind just over the shoulder of a stealth, and she presents you the night.

56:30.579 --> 56:58.102
[SPEAKER_04]: and you can feel fear, not of you, but of what she had done, being in this world, being who she was, was never going to be good for you, she would have never asked you to do it.

56:59.073 --> 57:00.257
[SPEAKER_04]: She doesn't want to.

57:00.457 --> 57:06.656
[SPEAKER_04]: She never did, but she doesn't know any which her can decide you.

57:07.212 --> 57:11.174
[SPEAKER_04]: And we get a flash of your fight with a stealth.

57:11.514 --> 57:18.458
[SPEAKER_04]: There is an anger and frustration and a stealth charges you.

57:19.659 --> 57:23.101
[SPEAKER_04]: And with the knife slices at your neck.

57:23.741 --> 57:25.822
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's when she drops it on the floor.

57:26.883 --> 57:30.905
[SPEAKER_04]: And she steps back because she watches as you gasped for air.

57:31.485 --> 57:32.806
[SPEAKER_04]: She grabbed the knife and runs away.

57:33.126 --> 57:35.868
[SPEAKER_04]: And that was the last time you saw her before,

57:37.292 --> 57:39.734
[SPEAKER_04]: a couple weeks ago in the Glen's Dale coffee shop.

57:40.835 --> 57:51.324
[SPEAKER_01]: And in that final moment of the scene as a cell is running away and Alex has temporarily like sealed her throat.

57:51.364 --> 57:55.487
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a jagged scar there, a deep one now, left in the past.

57:56.348 --> 58:01.112
[SPEAKER_01]: And the last thing she says is a still runs away from her goodbye love.

58:10.002 --> 58:36.423
[SPEAKER_01]: and as we come back to the present, having rocketed out of the water that choker, that A-Lix is always wearing, that thick velvet choker that's always around her neck is gone, and you can see the remnants of this jagged scar across the front of her throat underneath it, and she's just still staring at a stelt begging for any other choice.

58:37.039 --> 58:49.890
[SPEAKER_04]: She reaches to your hand and she opens it and places the back of your hand in her palm dagger and flying from the tree lands the dagger in your hand.

58:50.931 --> 58:51.451
[UNKNOWN]: I love you.

58:51.911 --> 58:52.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I love you, Hustle.

58:53.453 --> 58:54.494
[SPEAKER_04]: I love you, Alex.

58:55.234 --> 58:55.935
[SPEAKER_01]: Good bye.

58:57.196 --> 59:02.340
[SPEAKER_01]: And she's going to close her eyes and she sets the tip against Estelle's chest.

59:03.248 --> 59:11.133
[SPEAKER_01]: She breathes deep, and she opens, and she looks a cell in the eyes, one last time, and drives it home.

59:13.295 --> 59:20.860
[SPEAKER_04]: Instead of blood magic, seeps from her, as it returns to the world.

59:22.821 --> 59:28.725
[SPEAKER_04]: Not dissimilar to the way September returned to the Leylaine.

59:38.712 --> 01:00:01.536
[SPEAKER_03]: Hail stands on the beach and sees all of this and was looking at Lou but then all of this began to transpire and he turns his head and he can feel something like an itch that call to

01:00:09.073 --> 01:00:10.254
[SPEAKER_03]: and he holds out a flask.

01:00:11.094 --> 01:00:15.257
[SPEAKER_03]: And the energy is going, he's not there to stop it.

01:00:16.038 --> 01:00:28.226
[SPEAKER_03]: But he pours some of that flask into the beach sand and speaks very quietly, so quietly that only the sand in the spirit can hear, especially over the whipping of winds.

01:00:29.745 --> 01:00:41.708
[SPEAKER_03]: For one final joy, as the demigod of palliative ecstasy, the final drink for many soldiers and heroes is bored for us to tell.

01:00:42.268 --> 01:00:49.890
[SPEAKER_04]: The camera pushes back, past the barrier, almost as a shimmering effect as it passes through the barrier.

01:00:50.450 --> 01:00:57.752
[SPEAKER_04]: We pass, loo, and we see Hurricane Hally, growing stronger and stronger.

01:01:11.206 --> 01:01:21.755
[SPEAKER_05]: This series stars Alexander Christopher as the Game Master, valiant Dorian as Aryan, Dan Pixel as A-Lix Cho, and Kenzie Tartaglioni as Lou Wells.

01:01:22.335 --> 01:01:25.538
