Rey's Date

Courtney / Rey: [: 00:00:00

excited to share the journey with you. See later

spacers.

and all through the [: 00:01:00

radar wasn't stirring, not even a blip, the crew I'll journaled without a care for

they had the hero's journal to help them prepare what Kevin and elephants on

two legs wrote snug in her bed.

Courtney / Rey: I am thankful to not be the Sheriff's student of Clive and the

formation of this beautiful

GM: high visions of being better, a more centered locks.

Add-on dancing in our head, Clive snuggled down to right in his tattered clothes

and cat today,

Nathan / Atlas: I learned to dance. It

GM: was exhilarating the

Nathan / Atlas: best I've ever felt. Now

GM: for me, it's time to nap pleased. He was headed towards his goals. He

prepared for the dark place and a good night. Then there, there was Atlas whose

goal set with a clatter

Nathan / Atlas: become more powerful to find the monster from his past.

Take care of the last loved ones

GM: in his life. He was the strongest in the universe, but even so he needed

[: 00:02:00

made them all better with a whooshing lash, increasing productivity,

mindfulness, and goal accomplishing flow. They found the heroes to the

journey lay within them just below complete with pictures that make the fun

appear.

Each page is a magic story like flying reindeer, recognize who wants to be

quick. The journal makes accountability, visualization, and development fun in

a flick, their colors, quality cover, and discord community are the bomb. So

check them out now at heroes journal

dot.

Here we go roll coordination.[: 00:03:00

Hey, welcome back to Starlight. It is either February or March one of the two. I

don't know. We don't really care. We're here to play some D and D and as usual

I am your host and your GM Isaac Yorks. And I am. Two-thirds of the crew.

One of our very own spacers is feeling a little under the weather. So we are out

a Clive for the next few episodes.

So if you don't hear his voice or really poor DM version of it, that's why, so we

hope he gets better. You can send your, your well-wishes back in time to when

we recorded this. But in the meantime, let's focus on who is here in the

[: 00:04:00

Courtney / Rey: I'm Courtney Yorks and I'm playing Ray burn,

Nathan / Atlas: uh, Nathan Coots and I

play Atlas.

GM: And with that, we have some dates and I honestly don't know what else

we're in. I do. I have no plans. Do you guys have plans? Um,

Nathan / Atlas: not exactly. No, actually

Courtney / Rey: I have plans.

GM: So it will be following Ray's lead. Woo. Woo. It's like the Sims

Courtney / Rey: Alison Berry, Alice slash Nathan is very excited that Ray's

going on a date because Atlas slash Nathan, can't get a date himself.

GM: That's a low ahead because

Nathan / Atlas: it's true. It's okay. Alison that's actually, that's going to be my,

my task or the thing he's going to spiral their date. Make sure

that it all goes [: 00:05:00

GM: And in the meantime, Nate, real night, real life Nathan's going to be

taking, uh, tips is gonna be like, okay, this is what I did.

Uh, but with that, why don't we jump into this episode of Starlight

Courtney / Rey: Neuralink, recall it as memories. Accessing

GM: having passed the boss mothers test by uncovering the depths of trickery

and embedded in her trials. Team Luma is invited to serve her and second dance

loss and directly as a shadow squad. By taking on this role, the party

Courtney / Rey: has given a certain amount of discretion in their activities and

will help the Cushing family ferret out the truth

GM: behind the attack.

On Astralis key months ago, following the test, they meet their new slave

tearing

Courtney / Rey: Yarus and then later CLI experiences

GM: another dream that [: 00:06:00

time of a wife, a lost

Courtney / Rey: life as a simple farmer and an upcoming honeymoon on the

sands of the

GM: Opal beaches, the days go

Courtney / Rey: on and before squad Bluma can move on to his next

adventures.

They have at least one last

GM: commitment to honor Ray and creates meetings. Memories

retrieved.

GM: We jump in with some inspiration and I'll start off cast my vote to REA

Y.

GM: Um, so you go boost, it's just, it's just an ego boost. Uh, no, I think that, so

when I was going back and editing and working on some of the, some of like

of when you guys came back, [: 00:07:00

interactions that Ray had that I think because you've played nice.

She's your second character. And there's always going to be some element of

who you are put into your character. There was a line of questioning where not

only did you make. I don't know if you're doing this on purpose, but you made it

so that like the audience could learn a little bit more about, uh, the Kachin

family and Aeschylus and all of these things.

And you also put Nathan on the hot seat a lot where he had to look at me and be

like, yeah, I know about that. It's so funny. But, um, you did a good job of like

finding that line between like how far McKenna would have pushed it and then

how Ray would going about questioning and that hers was truly from worry.

So I think that in a subtle way, you really embodied your character very well.

Thanks. Yes.

Courtney / Rey: I'm going to give it to myself as well. Um, only because I

nailed a date [: 00:08:00

GM: I'm

Nathan / Atlas: glad you admitted to

date.

Nathan / Atlas: I'm also my inspiration to write, do it to her landing, a date

with the help of Mr. Wing, man, him. So

Alex sheen.

GM: So I hope you enjoy your inspiration. Thank you. And if you collect three

that I know you guys know this, this is just a reminder for anyone who doesn't

know, uh, inspiration can be used to reroll at any dice roll. So hopefully to make

it to your advantage, or if you collect three can make a roll, a natural 20, which

pretty much is an automatic success.

So anytime you guys want to jump in and help vote for our players in terms of

what. Then that is what you're doing.

Courtney / Rey: Votes geared towards REA are especially appreciate also for

the

GM: Patriots.

Nathan / Atlas: If anyone wants to hear if they can keep track, because I

actually don't [: 00:09:00

have it to be honest.

So Eddie, any pitch you on out there wants to just like post it in the thread or

something, or like have it there then, uh, or message me. Are we good? Okay.

Courtney / Rey: Here's the thing that you're going to get someone who's like a

huge fan of Ray. Oh, Ray has five inspiration.

Nathan / Atlas: Our fans, I know are a hundred percent

honest

Courtney / Rey: and true on Ray's side.

Oh, no honest and true. I doesn't that's true

GM: honor. Integrity tradition because cheap,

right? Um, With that we jumped in to the following day after the test, the test,

which brought Luma squad, the shadow squad officially into recognition, or

[: 00:10:00

each in your own separate quarters in roughly the same levels within the tower

of

What do you guys want to do?

Courtney / Rey: I would like to go get my rats. Can I call a Slawson?

GM: You don't have his personal number, but you can try.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. I'll call his office.

GM: Atlas. Can you roll a dial 100, please.

Uh, seven,

GM: it just rings and rings and rings soon, a voicemail, and eventually a

voicemail picks up. Hello, we are not available now.

GM: Please leave your name and phone number after

the big we will [: 00:11:00

Courtney / Rey: Hello, Sergeant Slawson. This is re um, we, we chatted, uh,

yesterday or the day before, um, in regards to the rat and you couldn't help me,

but then I talked to, to ADA, um, or, or boss, mother, um, After our test and she,

she said she would fall, but the rat, but I don't know her number.

And you, you were the person I thought I could connect with. So I thought I

would reach out to see if she could help me get a

GM: rat. Ray. I need you to make, I need you to make a perception roll 21. As

you get to about that point in your conversation, you hear this weird kind of like

make a survival roll on that[: 00:12:00

17

GM: back on your time, when you were gallivanting around the universe with a

family, or at least those you once called a family, you know, pirating tacking on

where he, people you were taught by. One of the galley mates on how to, how

to essentially wire taps different phones. And you recognize that noise as

someone else that has somehow seated away into this.

And you may not Slossen may not be the only one who was going to receive

this message.

I don't really

Courtney / Rey: have anything bad. Okay. Well, hope to talk to you soon. And

if anyone's listening, I know you're there by, and then I'm going to go to try to

find

Alice,[: 00:13:00

GM: your mechanical mouse kind of goes up into your sleeve and wraps itself

up around your shoulder. Just creating a bulge under the shirt, and as the door

opens and you step out into the hallway, you are. Met by the, by the smell of

people who've lived close together. You can smell off in the distance, like

morning sausage being cooked up in the, up in the chow hall.

And there are people who are just starting to file in and out. You start making

your way to Atlas's room. You know, you have to go up an elevator to get there

and you come to the door.

Hello?

Nathan / Atlas: Yes, sir. What

do you need?

Well, can I come all the way [: 00:14:00

door? Yeah. You've only opened it to like, there's like a chain.

Nathan / Atlas: Yeah, sure. And Alice will on both the

chain.

Courtney / Rey: Um, just so you're aware, I left a voicemail on Sergeant

Dawson's phone in regards to the rat and someone else may have tapped the

phone. Um, oh yeah, yeah. Um, someone else may have tapped the phone. How

do you know that? I don't think I said anything besides after the test either, um,

said she would follow up, but now other than saying that to you, that may have

been the wrong thing to say over a voicemail.

If someone else was listening, um, just didn't want to be the only one who knew

that,

Atlas: you know, who worked. [: 00:15:00

Courtney / Rey: Nope. I hung up and just said, if anyone's listening, I know

you're there.

Okay.

Nathan / Atlas: Uh, I'll try to look into it if I can and talk to Austin and let him

know.

Courtney / Rey: Can you also ask him about the rat?

Nathan / Atlas: Sure. I can ask him about the

GM: rat.

Courtney / Rey: Thanks. Well, I was hoping you could help me go shopping.

Nathan / Atlas: I'm just going to let you know right now that, uh, now that

we're kind of boats are on equal terms, is that I'm not going to be, uh,

purchasing many items.

Courtney / Rey: That's okay. I just, um, I, I kind of consider you a wing man.

GM: Oh, okay. And

Courtney / Rey: went help preparing for my meeting

Nathan / Atlas: tonight.

Oh yeah. Um, what time or how much time is there till

GM: those date?

Courtney / Rey: It's it's a meeting and it's not tubs this evening. And so

[: 00:16:00

So what exactly do you need clothes? Well,

Nathan / Atlas: like trousers, boots,

like we're like dress

Courtney / Rey: nice shoes. I have treasures and boots. She looks very

awkward and say who

Nathan / Atlas: to, okay.

Alice is to re like scroll through his, uh, on tags. Does he have anyone that

know anything other than just like jackets, trousers, and boats?

GM: Why don't you re go ahead and roll it down. Hundred.

Nathan / Atlas: I know Alice would not be a good

GM: date shopping partner. Before you start looking through, through the

different contacts you had and two potentials pop up there is Delilah.

She is not a [: 00:17:00

Kachin, but she, while you've never had like deep conversations with her before

you worked on squads with her, and she does have a little bit more of that girly

streak to her. And then the other person that comes up is the quartermaster.

You know, while he does only probably have boots and fatigues and standard

gear, he has to get his stuff from somewhere. So he might know. So

Nathan / Atlas: Alice will most likely call Laila.

GM: So is it rings? It does pick up and you hear a voice on the other side and it

sounds like they're in the middle of like some form of like extreme exertion.

Hello? Hey, it's Alice. Oh, okay. Let's go a little early. What?

Nathan / Atlas: So I have a squad mate that needs, uh, to go shopping for

some, [: 00:18:00

beauty products.

GM: Okay. Can you hold on one second? Yeah, yeah. Finished what you're

doing. Thanks. And then you hear, it sounds like just something just like falls is

metal on the other side and you just hear fuck

stupid thing. Hello,

JJ.

Sorry that got me.

Nathan / Atlas: I don't know why. Um, yeah, so I D I just need somebody for,

uh, my squad, man. Cause she's going on some type of day tonight.

Courtney / Rey: It's an, it's a meeting

Nathan / Atlas: the date. So would you be able to help? I can give you some

assistance if you need any in the, uh, Jensen assist you in the armory.

GM: Hmm. While I [: 00:19:00

around, I've also seen your ability to fix things.

You mostly break things, but

Nathan / Atlas: I can at least hold up heavy objects. That's basically all I'm

good for,

GM: you know what? I'm can make a charisma roll straight. Okay.

Nathan / Atlas: You see this right here as the Nat 20.

GM: Okay. Oh, I'll take you up on that. Yeah, you can come on by. Hold up

stuff and I'll help your friend. No problem.

Uh, I'm a little busy at the moment, but how about you come to swing by the

armory and about two hours, huh? Yeah, I think that

Nathan / Atlas: works and I'll look over to the right and confirm, like,

GM: I'll see you in a sec and then you hear her just as right before she hangs up.

Hi jab. No don't plug. And then it cuts off.

Nathan / Atlas: Uh, yes. All right. Well, I have somebody that can help you out

with getting your fancy clothes.

Courtney / Rey: Do you want to go get

breakfast? Sure.[: 00:20:00

Courtney / Rey: As we're walking there, Ray is like nervously sharpening a

knife with another knife.

Is that what you're

Nathan / Atlas: preparing for your

GM: date?

Courtney / Rey: No, it's not a date. And then just going faster.

GM:so you guys may eventually make it to the chow hall. It's not, not too far.

It's already kind of filled with the thrum of people getting ready for the day's

work, but just enjoying a little bit of just that candor with each other before,

they basically are breaking [: 00:21:00

You see slaves coming back and forth. Uh, one thing that's unique about the

chow hall is the slaves can eat as equal. Please everyone. Who's not a part of

like the upper echelon. So you see slaves mingling with some of the soldiers,

um, and eventually the line leads you up. And while it smells of breakfast,

sausage, it, it, as you get to the front and you see the equivalent of the Cashion

lunch lady there, that looks nothing like sausage.

As a matter of fact, it looks like a, uh, take on last night's dinner and it's a little

bit kind of jellied. They throw it, she throws it onto the tray and then douses it

in a nice Hardy ladle of a kind of like white grayish gravy. Dang,

oks delicious. Alice is this [: 00:22:00

Nathan / Atlas: it's uh, if it's the nutritional value that you need

close enough to it.

Courtney / Rey: Okay.

And I'm gonna go find a seat. You said that slaves are in here. Do I recognize

GM: anyone? Go ahead and make a perception.

Courtney / Rey: That's a nine.

GM: You don't see anyone that you record. Nice. Okay. I just

Nathan / Atlas: realized too. Alice has always like shirtless just with his jacket.

So this man is, he's a man

GM: nipples. I can cut glass right now.

Cause it's not warm. I

Nathan / Atlas: mean, when Alice sit down to you heel to eat, he'll take off his

jacket because obviously you don't want to wear jackets at the table

Courtney / Rey: and he's just sitting there. Shirtless Ellis is ripped.

Nathan / Atlas: He doesn't care. Oh wow. He's rip tatted bill like a monster.

He's I mean, people, I see if anyone's seen Atlas or knows Atlas, they probably

are used to it by now.

you know? Um, I've learned, [: 00:23:00

remember I'd take my clothes off, go for it, but you can take yours off. Okay.

And I started to like, take my jacket off. I started to like, pretend like I'm taking

GM: my shirt off. We should go ahead and make a, make a charisma roll. Oh,

this

Courtney / Rey: one. No, not one because they have a negative

GM: three jackets off.

You're kind of, you're down to like, like t-shirt underneath and you're starting to

pull it up. Kind of like, pretending you hear someone yell out from the other

side and they say, well, go on, come on, take that up. Let's see if you have

something more than be stingers, flat chested on

Courtney / Rey: Ray's eyes get really, really big.

And she goes under the table food.

Nathan / Atlas: Are you going to

Courtney / Rey: eat it under the table?

m mean the tables, you know, [: 00:24:00

cloths or anything to cover it and you can still be seen. Uh, I don't care. Okay.

All right. Well, like I said, you can go ahead and try it.

Courtney / Rey: I'm really good at killing things. I am terrible at interacting

with people and I'm feeling that here in this town, more than

GM: ever

just

Nathan / Atlas: to do what I do and care.

Okay.

GM: As you down there eating some food analysis, sitting up, you see a pair of

like, like boots start making their way towards the table. And they kind of

[: 00:25:00

bit of like a metal kind of like shin guard on the front, but they're a bit more

slender.

And then you hear a woman's voice is something is set onto the table, the boots

lift up, and then the person sits across from Atlas and the spot you were

originally in as they, this person crosses their legs. It almost hits you in the head

and you kind of move back in time and you hear

slow look who lives, you know, there was like 10 of us who came to your

funeral. You bastard I'll Alice will look up

Nathan / Atlas: and try to like, see who.

GM: Cross room. You see a dark skinned, half elf hair. That is, I would say

almost like Afro-centric hair that has been pulled into a tight bun and the back.

t of a scar across the upper [: 00:26:00

There. You can see just the hints of what looks like some sort of like tentacled

tattoo that runs up to the neck. You recognize this person as Tatiana, a fellow

berserker, someone that you've not necessarily been close with, but you've been

on multiple squats with before in the past, especially in the beginning.

And then naturally you both kind of went your own ways. She's opted to have

the breakfast without the gravy. She just sits there. And she says, when were

you going to tell us that you were alive? Huh? Uh,

Nathan / Atlas: sometimes it's easier just to be dead on record.

GM: Okay. That's all you have to say.

Nathan / Atlas: I mean, how the new squad or how's the missions going? Is she

. She's a little bit. Oh no. [: 00:27:00

like five nine for that size. She's like very muscular, but whip, cord muscular.

Oh, I got you. I got very quick on her feet.

Nathan / Atlas: So basically I could see her and Ray

GM: duking it out.

You, you could probably guess that this woman, at least in physical combat

would tear Ray apart. Okay. So

Nathan / Atlas: how's the mission has been going and has a new squad.

GM: It's all right. Bounced around twice. Now just got a promotion following

the attack on the key. And now I'm doing a little bit more management here. So

I started calling you man.

Now with that, sorry. Well, how's

Nathan / Atlas: the magic work treating you?

GM: Oh, it's a fricking headache, man. It's a headache. You know, there's

I want to just be sent away. [: 00:28:00

on the battlefield to fill bones breaking before my fist, watch our enemies fall to

my feet. But here I am pushing paper and telling people what to do.

Yeah, the pay is good, but this is going to kill me sitting in a stupid cubicle and

she takes a bite and she goes,

please tell me, you're going to come down to the sparring grounds at some

point, right?

Nathan / Atlas: Yeah. I'll be making my way down. There might even go

tonight. I think one of my squad mates has a H.

Courtney / Rey: I from under the table, I'm gonna like punch you in the leg.

Really hard.

GM: Make an attack. Roll

Courtney / Rey: Nat 20. Wow.

r string modifier times two. [: 00:29:00

Zero.

Nathan / Atlas: Yeah. Mine's a, mine's a die for, I think just because of my iron

GM: fists. Yeah. Yeah. This is the same for like anyone who's on unarmed.

Courtney / Rey: Can I like get the roll at least a die for

GM: no, you can do. Since you rolled a Nat 20 you and Atlas roll an athletics

check against each other.

If you succeed, he jumps a little bit. Ooh, good luck.

Courtney / Rey: Okay.

Nathan / Atlas: Uh, nine plus seven. So 16,

Courtney / Rey: I wrote a 14. So he doesn't even budge with Nat 20

GM: Atlas. You feel this little soft little

Nathan / Atlas: Alice to more of an insult won't even acknowledge being hit.

But yeah, she does have a date tonight, so I might be going on the sparring

grounds tonight.

GM: Squad. Who's your new squad mate? Um, I actually

Nathan / Atlas: have to, [: 00:30:00

One of them's the off duty right now, so you won't be able to meet him. He's

more of a mid to long range of distance fighter. And my other one is kind of a

mix also of most of mid range. I'd have to say more of a sneaky type, probably

more like your speed with a, not as brutal, more finesse based in a sense there's

a plan out attacks.

GM: She sounds like she's from the black ops

Nathan / Atlas: deep eventually, but.

GM: Yeah. Well, you know how I feel about them always sneaking around

stabbing people in the back. No honor in it. Yeah.

Nathan / Atlas: But someone has to do the dirty work.

Courtney / Rey: I'm gonna pull my tray up and joined at the table.

GM: Oh, it should make a straight charisma role.

He's sure.

Courtney / Rey: Yeah, that was the seventh.

GM: So as you come [: 00:31:00

side?

Atlas? You hear Tiana sport drop? She goes,

woo.

GM: Oh, that is disgusting. Oh, that is disgusting. And she

Courtney / Rey: just, I mean, I know, well, Alice is gross without a shirt on,

but is it really that disgusting? This is a

Nathan / Atlas: list and this is also the squad. That's more finessed based. This

is

GM: Ray, this, oh, I can see she's finessing something.

Shanna. Was it Smith sneak around? Was it it's re oh, sorry. I'm doesn't mean to

be so rude. Ray. I just, I'm not used to people climbing up from underneath the

table

and

m not used to people talking [: 00:32:00

They don't know.

GM: I'm kind of used to that. Well,

Courtney / Rey: I don't like your life then.

GM: I don't like you.

What are you some Pell ass Creten getting up from under there.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. I, I would love to meet you in wherever brawls happen.

GM: You can make a charisma roll one. Some more,

Nathan / Atlas: this woman could possibly even be

oh no.

GM: Tiana leans forward. And she pushes her tray to the side. Oh, I'd love that.

Courtney / Rey: And Ray's going to take out her knife and just start

GM:sharpening them. And Tiana's knuckles start cracking. Oh, I would love to

[: 00:33:00

Courtney / Rey: I am sorry. I'm busy today and tonight.

GM: Oh, you're not showing up to the

Courtney / Rey: ball tomorrow and the next day, because I don't fake garbage.

GM: Well, Towner stands up with her tray and she says in a very fake smile, let

me know when he grows some balls,

Courtney / Rey: then I'm a woman. I will never grow balls, but let me know

when you do

Nathan / Atlas: all right, I'll catch you later.

I'll be

GM: there tonight. Spare time things got interesting and she leaves

Courtney / Rey: you should choose better friends.

Nathan / Atlas: Alice, she's actually very good at what she does. That's why

I'm. I would be slightly worried. Obviously. I don't want to say nothing, cause

this is obviously a cat fight that I want to get in between.

Uh, but she's, uh, I would not recommend going toe to toe with her in hand-tohand

. Oh, I don't go toe to toe. [: 00:34:00

sneak up on people when they're sleeping and kill them in their sleep.

Nathan / Atlas: Be careful with her, especially too. She's been doing office

work this long. She's probably all end up in wanting to actually fight someone.

Courtney / Rey: Should we be going to meet your friend, finished

Nathan / Atlas: eating then? Yeah, we'll

Courtney / Rey: head over.

Nathan / Atlas: Yeah, we'll head over to the

armory.[: 00:35:00

The

GM: air gets becomes more. Chris' spazzed. There's less insulated. You start to

smell various oils, the smells of like burn marks from electricity. Um, and you

can hear the clank of machinery, the echoes of people yelling at each other in

terms of like, um, and you see various, uh, server bot, servo bots working and,

and helping to weld things or do normal maintenance.

Now you find yourself really coming into kind of like a hanger bay that has a

huge door bay doors that are open straight into the outside. And you can see that

it seems like it's going to be a fair day, but pretty cold. And you can see Delilah

working on what looks to be like some sort of it's remnant reminiscent

[: 00:36:00

But you see that it has six legs on it used across various types of terrain and

looks like. Uh, telling people, um, uh, various backgrounds and races to go

work on this part or this part, she's overlooking some sort of like manual on a

tablet. And by the time she finally looks up and sees you, you guys are only a

few strides from her.

She goes to white Blake, some smudge smudges off of her hands and in doing

so actually leaves a big kind of mess on her overalls, but she, she smiles and,

and you see that she is a dwarf woman and despite the, the dirty clothes, she has

the nicest beard and the nicest hair, and they flow together and a nice set of

braids that are intricately woven together and come with nice accenting bows

that just give a vibrancy to her.

Hey, ah, [: 00:37:00

Sorry about that. I was working on some different bots that we had brought

back in, but you know, that's taken care of now. Only one of them blew up, so

that's okay.

Hi,

Courtney / Rey: I'm Ray. Oh, Hey, uh, Delilah and I am awkwardly

GM:staring at her beard. When she goes to shake your hand, your hand, her

hand is like a rock and she goes, oh, this is the one that, um, I think Atlas said,

you're the one that's looking for clothes. Yes. Well, I'm the gal to help you?

Courtney / Rey: I I'm sorry. I not very good at having a filter.

And I'm just going to say this. I have never seen a woman with a

GM: beard. Well, how many dwarf women have you seen?

Courtney / Rey: Uh, only one other. And I think she

:shaved. Yeah. She's of that.[: 00:38:00

You know, a shaven beard for a dwarf woman is like a man who lets his bald

spots sit around without, you know, keeping it up. Right. And a naked chin does

not bring the men running.

Courtney / Rey: I didn't, maybe I sh I should get a beard. And I looked at the

powder and then I look at Atlas and I, I, I never thought beards were, were in

fashion.

And I'm like looking, oh, back from Honduras, kind of Nikki.

GM: Oh, honey beards are always in fashion. Well,

Courtney / Rey: how can, can I grow one before tonight at had six?

GM: Unfortunately you are not a dwarf, so it's going to be kind of hard, but

there is an old saying that a little moonshine mixed with ale will begin the

sprouts.

Now that's, that's, that's an old thing. Uh, wives of things would say back in the

day, [: 00:39:00

Courtney / Rey: a fake one by

GM: tonight? It might look GoDaddy, but is it better than no beard? I want you

to make a charisma roll

son. Oh,

GM: you, you sound so desperate. You know what? I can help you get a beard.

Yeah. I can help you do that. Okay. Thank you. She then leans in closer and you

feel the tickle of this vibrant lush soft golden beard, just on the side of the ear

lobe. And she says, like I said, it makes the men come running. Look who came

and she glances over at Atlas.

Courtney / Rey: They whisper back in her ear. I don't think he came to the. I

want to go shopping with me. [: 00:40:00

GM: He didn't come for the beard, but I promise you once he saw it, it's the

thing that he didn't know he wanted. Okay. Okay. And that's the trick with men.

All right. It's the beard for it? No, no, no, no, no, no.

Oh, for your date tonight? Oh, it's a meeting. It's okay. It's a meal, right? Oh,

you're practically green with sickness. Oh honey. You just remember be the

thing that he didn't know. He wanted

Courtney / Rey: a woman with a beard.

GM: Got it. We are going to have so much fun Atlas go out of here.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. Well where are we off to?

GM: Oh yeah, come on.

We're going to go back to my place. Okay. Yeah. So

as, as you started to leading away, Ray, yeah. She's a little bit shorter than Ray.

six inches shorter than Ray. [: 00:41:00

here, uh, she stops for a moment. It looks back at you Atlas and she says, I'll let

you know when you're going to be the good hunk, a muscle that's going to hold

up heavy things.

I just got to find the right heavy things to get those muscles bulging.

Nathan / Atlas: All right,

sounds good.

GM: And then he leads, she leads railway.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. This has gotta be

itself.

to Delilah's quarters. They [: 00:42:00

the same size as yours. But as you come in, it looks like she has taken

everything from her home, wherever the heck it is. And she has turned her room

into her home. It is exploding with color, with various tankards, with momentos,

with magnets, from various places she's been.

And you can tell that this woman is very into fashion shares, even like a rack

that has one side has, is layered with hats. And the other side is layered with

different types of wigs, of various colors and links. She takes you over to, to the

vanity. And from there she rummages through things. And so as she pulls out a

measuring tape, what's your story.

As she starts to kind of like measuring. Um,

Courtney / Rey: no one's ever asked

GM: me that. Well, we're going to be here for a while, so don't be shy.

[: 00:43:00

Courtney / Rey: did have a brother, I think he's

GM: dad. Nice, nice. She's kind of absently going through it. I was on a pirate

ship. Oh, is that what you saw? Like where have you been on a pirate ship?

Courtney / Rey: Oh, a little bit of here. A little bit of they're taking stuff here.

Getting people here, doing that there, you

GM: know, do you like your employment with

Courtney / Rey: them? No. No. Oh,

GM: quick question. You prefer purple red or green either will make your eyes

pop, but it's really kind of a personal choice because you have two different

colored eyes.

Courtney / Rey: Oh yeah. Um, well, what do you think.

I mean, my natural instinct is towards green.

GM: Green does work with urban colors and you do got that brown eye. Okay.

let's do great. Okay. Okay. [: 00:44:00

Courtney / Rey: Um, and then, well, I got stuck on this planet and then

everything exploded on the planet. And then I saw Atlas and, and he was in

GM: Roz. Good looking, right.

Courtney / Rey: Oh, you should have seen, I

GM: have seen him really.

Courtney / Rey: I feel like he looks broken, like from his heart to his head, to

his body, he just looks

GM: broken. Well, you know, like, uh, I mean there's beauty in the broken well,

it's, there's it means that underneath it all, there's also a tender spirit.

Courtney / Rey: Never seen the tender spirit part, but maybe it's like an onion.

Like you have to peel away all the layers. And I saw a children's movie one

ed I think it's called Shrek [: 00:45:00

you had to peel away the layers and he does kind of smell like an ogre. So

maybe that's maybe that's an accurate, oh,

GM: you have you. Oh. And she gets very serious.

Ogres are good about Vita and she spits on the ground stomps on it. Have you

ever met Noga?

Courtney / Rey: No, but that was just the movie

GM: I was referring to. Well, there should never be a movie about ogres. Oh,

Y, yeah, she starts pulling this dress over you and you can see that it is going to

be a little bit shorter on you, uh, due to her size, but she starts kind of like

wrapping this beautiful lace around the waist that helps kind of cinch it up.

And she then starts going through like various stockings that will help kind of

like hide the, the extra length she goes. Hmm. Let me tell you a story. So before

the drawers [: 00:46:00

travel, we lived peaceably on various planets under our things. And one of the

things that forced us to leave our homes was that there was in an incursion of

ogres and trolls

and our home planet. Fought to the last we sang the oaths and we stayed until

the stones have bled themselves, but we lost and we were forced into the stars.

That's why it must be a

Courtney / Rey: different breed of ogres. Are they green,

s not what they come in, but [: 00:47:00

One day it is said that all the universe will turn to the great coin in the

leadership of our fans. They will come to rely on them for the movement of

commerce and people. What are the are?

Things are things. They are our leaders, our Kings are, are our emperors. Hmm.

And look, that was the prophecy. I'm a millennia go. But look now our people

control the routes of travel, the movement of commerce and goods. It, the

prophecy is coming true and it is only a matter of time before they all hammer

comes down himself and leads our people back to our planet and wipes the

wicked from its surface.

So the ending has a happy and it's a happy ending, but, and it

Courtney / Rey: sounds like [: 00:48:00

GM: Oh, it's why I work here. I mean, I make the weapons, which I know is I

don't make them. I kind of repair them, but I help out, I do my part and I know

that one day these weapons will be leveled again.

Courtney / Rey: I look forward to that day. Although I do think Shrek was a

little bit different than the yogurts you're talking about. You

GM:should watch the movie am. Maybe I'll get to that. I'll get to that. Okay.

She lights up the mirror so you can see yourself better. And she goes, what do

you think? And you see that you are in this green dress, that is a bit tight up top,

so that it, it, it pushes what you do have kind of close together.

You are even more cinched up at the waist by this beautiful, like lace rope fish

belt that has a concurrent color of red and silver, that then trails to the bottom.

d then the, the folds of the [: 00:49:00

the waist, you're wearing black stockings and she has put on some rather plain

shoes with like a beautiful gold, like a buckle.

Um,

Courtney / Rey: I'll also just add it like Ray, his shoulders are slumped down.

Her toes are like pointed together and her knees are kind of bow legged looking

and she's. Looks like, just like very uncomfortable. And she looks at Delilah and

it is, I guess, if this is in fashion, I

GM: like it. Oh, I know fashion now stay still.

I, this is one of my favorite wigs. All right. So I do I need a wig. Oh yes, you

do. And she goes,

Courtney / Rey: he buys me the person I am meeting with. If I'm wearing a wig

it, oh, oh, don't forget the [: 00:50:00

GM: me on the beer. Biggest for the beard. And you see now she has a pair of

scissors and she starts like cutting into.

Kind of brown wig with like these blonde highlights, these like cherry blonde

highlights to snip, snip, snip, snip, snip, and then she starts kind of braiding

them together. And when she's finally done about an hour later, she attaches it

to your face and it's just kind of like a chin strap beard that runs up to your ears.

It doesn't even like, it doesn't even like have any parts that go up on your cheeks

or anything. And she finishes it off with a nice red bow on the side,

the

Courtney / Rey: Hanks I'm I'm really thankful.

GM: I knew you would be, this is the height of dwarf fashion. All right. Go

knock them. Dead tiger. Okay. And as you're, as you're walking out, she goes,

oh, oh, oh wait, [: 00:51:00

Goes through another drawer. Pulls out of ring. That is. Has a beautiful diamond

in the center and is on like the, the metalwork. It looks like moving water and

she slips it onto your finger. And she says there now you're perfect.

Courtney / Rey: I do really appreciate this. I've never had someone invest so

much time in how I look.

GM: Well, just consider your payment will be telling me exactly how the state

goes. I want to know all the secrets. Okay. All of them. It's a meeting,

clandestine meeting, a clandestine meeting at night.

old are you? Um, I I'm just [: 00:52:00

GM: I remember when I was 20.

I'll be pushing 140 next year.

Oh, wow.

Courtney / Rey: Congratulations. That's that is old.

GM: Oh, well it's, it's, it's seasoned and, uh, and it certainly doesn't affect any

of my clandestine meetings. Okay.

Courtney / Rey: I have to go and Ray's gonna leave quickly.

And as I'm walking back to where we're supposed to am. I like walking through

town, you're

GM: walking through the tower, which is effectively a small town. So some of

the hallways are [: 00:53:00

always have someone else on it. And you draw more than your fair share of

stairs.

Courtney / Rey: So I want to see if I can pick up, like, are people looking at me

like, oh, she's in fashion or people looking at me like, oh, she looks

GM: crazy, make an insight, roll 21. It is a mixed bag. The few dwarves that

you do see, not approvingly, but most people are like, who is this? What is she

doing here? What is she?

What, why is she here? What is she here to trade for? What?

Courtney / Rey: Are there any other like slaves around.

GM: Yeah. You pass various slaves. Yes. Okay.

Courtney / Rey: I, I, is there any like young boys slaves around like someone

crease age,

GM: or you want a young boy? Is there someone age? So roughly our

[: 00:54:00

You do see one. Yes. Okay.

Courtney / Rey: I'm going to pull them aside. Hey, Hey, any drop?

GM: Uh ma'am

Courtney / Rey: uh, and I'm gonna like pull them into like a crap

GM: don't work.

Courtney / Rey: I, I haven't, I have a meeting with one of your kind tonight

time. Sorry. I'm really bad with words with one another slave. And I really want

to kind of impress him and I, I, I don't know if what I'm wearing, like, does this

impress someone or does this, do I look ridiculous?

And I'm sorry. I didn't mean like kind in like a bad way. I just, I don't know.

What's normal. I'm feeling very out of my comfort zone. Sorry. If I put you out

of

GM: yours, his [: 00:55:00

of like, just like in this very small Knuck and he goes, why would I be

uncomfortable?

Courtney / Rey: Well, because I just pulled you into a crevice and you don't

know who I am. And I look a little over the top. Do I look over the top? So you

wouldn't recommend that I wear

GM: all this. I wouldn't recommend starting with your kind.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. I'll note taken and I'm like taking out a note pad and

GM: a pen to write.

Can I, can I go? No, wait, you have

Courtney / Rey: to call me how I look.

GM: I'm

Courtney / Rey: please. What's your name? Dante. Ta'zieh, it's really nice to

meet you. And I'm going to grab his hand and try to like shake it. Even if he's

GM: reluctant, it's a very awkward, because you like end up inevitably hitting

his body with your hand as you're trying to raise it.

[: 00:56:00

you look fine. Look, I can tell, I can tell you, you just want to get out of this

crevice. Yup. I'm going to go. Okay. Don't

Courtney / Rey: date. You don't understand. And then he need to go over, like

give me a moment. Have you ever like wanted to impress a

GM: woman, make a persuasion role?

Five? No.

Courtney / Rey: Are you gay a man?

GM: No. Oh, look, I just, I am really uncomfortable. Can I, can I go, can we get

out of the credits and talk? I really, oh, would you look at the time? And he goes

to pick up everything. You've knocked it out of his hands and he goes, I really

have to deliver this. You look at you, you look great.

You'll look great. All but runs away.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. Um, I'm a nigga. Try to find out lists.

GM: We [: 00:57:00

Nathan / Atlas: up, I mean, sure. I'm at the gym right now.

Courtney / Rey: Oh, is Tiana there?

407?

Nathan / Atlas: Uh, I don't think

Courtney / Rey: she is. I

Nathan / Atlas: am going to come to the gym. Alrighty. I'll be here.

600.

GM: but you, you find yourself at the gym. It's a S it's a standard gym and it is

relatively empty. And you see Atlas,

Nathan / Atlas: Alice is going to be squatting 600 pounds, repping it.

GM: I want you to go ahead and make a endurance check

post to [: 00:58:00

GM: So the person who lets you in is standing there, not really paying attention

to you as you walk in, they kind of look over at you, look back at Atlas.

And then as Atlas is finishing up the set of squats and the person just says that

his 32nd set,

Courtney / Rey: he likes to be a show off. Don't

GM: worry if I could learn how to do that. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. Do

I look weird? You're not my flavor, but okay. What if I ever moved the. You

take it off. Yeah. That's where I look less weird.

Go ahead and make athletics go and make an athletics check. Athletics. Yes.

Seven. Oh, good luck. Delilah used a, the method with which she attached it. It

is just stuck to your face. And as you try to pull it off, like your cheek lifts

[: 00:59:00

like actually tear skin.

Oh, no.

Courtney / Rey: Um, okay. If I were to remove the beard, would I look

GM: less weird? Can you remove the beard?

Courtney / Rey: That's that's another problem. But if I were to remove the

wheat beard, would I be,

GM: he kind of covers the lower part of your face. Yeah. You would definitely

not look so dwarfish

Courtney / Rey: and to someone who's not a Dorf looking door is not good.

GM: Right. Like I said, it's just not my flavor. I'm sure there's people out there.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. But what about someone? Who's just like a basic, I

e he wouldn't really be into [: 01:00:00

GM: Well, if he's not into beers, why do you have a beard? Oh,

Courtney / Rey: cause they don't know what I'm doing. Okay. And I am, I'm

going to a meeting and I want to look.

Nice. And someone told me this would look nice. And I got a lot of looks on the

way here and starting to think he doesn't look nice and I'm really good at killing

things. I'm not good at impressing.

GM: Thanks. And as you finish that up, he looks like he's going to say

something else. Like he's trying to be really nice to you, but, uh, like a few

patrons, like are walking out and they just kind of do like the backwards stare

at, you know, and that's when, uh, Atlas finally finishes his set.

And as he's kind of like stretching and looking around, he does listening. You

do, you do see her. And I like

Courtney / Rey: wave awkwardly.

Nathan / Atlas: That was Scott's his little towel, you know, classic

big man.[: 01:01:00

Nathan / Atlas: Why don't you just, you can't take the beard

GM: off. Well,

Courtney / Rey: one does the beard look bad?

Thanks for being honest. Um, too, I think she used the glue on my face.

I think, do you shave right? Can I shave it

Nathan / Atlas: off? I mean, you can try it. Yeah. I'd say probably try to shave

it off and then use some like skin safe, solvent or something.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. Do you have

Nathan / Atlas: some, no, I

do not have solvent.

Courtney / Rey: Do you know where I could get some in the next two

Nathan / Atlas: hours? Yeah. Probably from any like general store, I

assume.

Courtney / Rey: Yes. Okay. Thanks. And does the dress look okay? Like if I'm

not having a beard, this is

Nathan / Atlas: what else is going to do. He's going to pull his boot knife out.

as if you're skinning a boy. [: 01:02:00

like

GM: the mid chest level

all the way around and cut off all the sleeves. You

Nathan / Atlas: know what

GM: I'm saying? So it's like, yeah, you're getting like a cocktail look. Okay. All

right. That'll be two skills. The first is going to be culture check. Oh shit.

Oh, uh, seven

GM: minus one, six. The vision is in your head. It looks good. Now go ahead.

Do a Dex role without your proficiency bonus added. Oh no. Oh my God. That

20 Bray. I want you to mark this down as a result of atlases, Nat 20, you get one

point of inspiration to use only in conversation while in this outfit with Creek.

Can

Nathan / Atlas: I up more of the dressing with that natural 20 wasn't

GM: done. You can't, you can't. To see you. I had analysis, take us through this

Nathan / Atlas: artistic [: 01:03:00

did the top, right. And then the midsection is tied up with the, like a rap thing.

The sash is a Sasol floofy, and summer's a nice, just smooth.

So like just what is it?

GM: It's, it's pretty smooth, but it has like a little bit of like, kinda like a frilly, a

little friendliness to the edges.

Nathan / Atlas: Okay. You said the bottom from the SAC, like basically the

lower waist down is all loopy. That makes it a little tough. Is the flakiness,

like

Nathan / Atlas: how bad is this fuzziness?

GM:Just like, like we're talking like ballerina type floofy, like, like really just,

Nathan / Atlas: okay. Is there like multiple layers to it?

GM: Yeah, I will say there's a couple of layers. Like layers. Yeah. Okay.

Nathan / Atlas: He'll start off. You'll he'll just gonna cut it to like probably mid

thigh level. Good. It almost looks like a prom dress.

But like a short progress.

GM: So as Atlas finishes up, [: 01:04:00

come off and you have like this nice cropping of the top that makes it look more

like the upper edge of like a, of a cocktail dress. Then he kind of works his way

down, the sweat beads, falling off his face as he kind of like bites at the bottom

of his tongue deepen thought, then eventually he kind of realizes that maybe,

maybe, yeah, he starts working on some of the various floofy layers, but at

below the waist taking off some of it, making it more smooth a little bit and

then cuts it surgically just a little bit above the knee, kind of giving it a little,

like showing off a little bit more of your youth with it.

And

Courtney / Rey: when he's done my bow legs and my toes pointing towards

each other.

GM: Yes. But when he's done while it is still has its own. It looks a little

reminiscent of a, if a prom dress met a little bit of like a summer dress

Courtney / Rey: better. [: 01:05:00

Nathan / Atlas: this is going to stare him down.

GM: Intimidation roll.

Nathan / Atlas: Oh eight, five plus three,

GM: honestly. Yeah. Yeah. That's a lot better.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. And so now I just have to get rid of the

GM: beard. Yeah. You know, if you can't get rid of the beard, he's done a pretty

good job on that dress. Sometimes you just got to shoot your shots. Huh? I

should try to

Courtney / Rey: get rid of the beard.

Okay. Well, I'm going to go to the store now. Thanks. Thanks a lot, Atlas. This

was helpful. Have fun beating people up tonight.

and I'm going to go try to [: 01:06:00

GM: Okay. Why don't you roll? Just roll in investigation role. I am proud

Nathan / Atlas: of myself. Okay.

GM: 11, you do find, uh, a vendor that's selling some universal solvent. Okay.

And you are able to purchase that will say that that cost is 25 credits. Um, and

then just, uh, just a note as you go in to get your funds Atlas, you find that your

ount that you were getting of: 2000

up to 3000 and Ray, you find in your account, a monthly allotment that has been

made: 1500

Wow.

Rich boy,

Courtney / Rey: but I'm gonna head to the rock garden on the 52nd floor on the

top of the shortest tower.[: 01:07:00

GM: That from the, the momentum of everyone, building it up to be something

that you originally never [: 01:08:00

stomach churn and the butterflies and like that almost nauseas feeling, and you

smell some damp earth as you come to the end of this hallway. There's another

door. This one, you kind of open yourself and you come out into like a tower

that is in a circle.

It has no cover. And you can see just out over the ocean and a little bit of the

edges of the city at the bottom. And in front of you still wet from a light rain.

It's the rock garden. There are very few plants they've been put there, tastefully,

you know, like a maple that is short with red leaves, kind of like twisting

elegantly up.

But the main things that bring your attention is the meticulous way in which it

looks like every single pebble, every single rock has been in the laid out

creating like just [: 01:09:00

circles that move around like a tide pool, Whirlpool and at the center with like

these interesting, like chiseled boulders and rocks that have likened and various

mosses has grown over them.

Matter of fact, some areas are just Moss beds that can have like little tiny

flowers that come up out of them. And you, you know, it's, it's interesting, but

you're curious where creatives, and it takes a little bit of walking around. The

various paths kind of lead you around boulders and rocks. And you eventually

find him sitting at a bench that is facing out towards the setting sun.

Can he see me? No. You're walking up behind him. Yeah. I'm going to

Courtney / Rey: turn around and walk the other way. It tends to ups and then

I'm going to walk back towards him and then back the other way, and then back

I'm not going to sit next to [: 01:10:00

gonna like go create,

GM: oh, he's scared me.

And you can see he almost dropped. I'm not going to kill you.

Oh,

GM: well that was a relief. That was, that was, that was a big relief. He kind of

unbuttoned this like white shirt that he has and he pulls out a pillow and sets it

next to him.

Oh, man.

GM: Did you really think I was going to kill you?

I just, it's just the

Courtney / Rey: says you do something. You do it. I

GM: would, I really have gotten these hot chocolates. If I thought that you were

going to kill me and he pulls up a tray with two hot chocolates and sets it next to

him.

ney / Rey: Ray turned bright [: 01:11:00

GM: oh, do you not like hot chocolate

okay. Okay.

Courtney / Rey: I want to do hot chocolate. It's my favorite drink. And I sit

next to

him. Oh.

Courtney / Rey: When I told the pirate ship, they made hot chocolate every

night. It was my favorite time of day.

GM: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Pirate ship.

Courtney / Rey: Yeah. It doesn't really matter. Um, thanks for the hot

chocolate. I think last time we were together, you were, you were gonna tell me

about yourself and then Atlas joined in, made it

GM: awkward.

Oh, um, well how'd you get here, here?

Um,

GM: you mean a slave?

Yeah.

[: 01:12:00

GM: well, that's kind of a long story, but I can sum it up, I suppose. So I'm

from the region of Bashat here on Balla star. Um, you probably could tell I'm a

bit of a desert rat from the, from the clothes I wear and all of that. Um, my

family owed a debt to the Kashin and ah, shoot. Okay. Okay. Um, my uncle

Albakat, he use never good for anything.

Um, and we never really knew what he was doing, but my, um, you know, he

would drop in for my family when we needed him or not because my, my dad,

he passed away when I was really young. So it was always just my mom and me

and my two little sisters. [: 01:13:00

you always had really nice presence.

And he always like provided when we, when we needed, but he was never

really around, but that's okay. Well, one day the Kashin family came knocking.

Um, they were dressed in black, black armor. I remembered the day like it was

yesterday. Uh, they wore these helmets. He couldn't really understand them.

Um, cause they, they changed their voices.

I think, to be more scary. Well, I know that now to be more scary and opposing

and they came demanding that we give up our uncle, uh, it turns out that uncle

Albakat was, he was skimming goods off the top from the cushy he's like

machine, how he made, how he was able to bring us gifts and money. Was he

worked as a smuggler for the Kashin

s that couldn't be sold, um, [: 01:14:00

move to and from places and get them into the black market. But as it turns out,

he was keeping some of the goods for himself and reselling it to those who

compete with the acers overall, like. And so they came seeking Rick

recompense for the lost goods and money and we didn't have it.

Um, and then we were given an ultimatum turnover, uncle Albert cow, but we

couldn't cause he ran and he left us, pay them or someone from the family work

as an indentured slave. And so I offered that was tribute from my family.

Wow.

ow long are you a slave for? [: 01:15:00

GM: I haven't really checked my, the, uh, the accounts, but I've been here

almost three years now.

So hopefully not much more than I think 6, 7, 8, maybe total

Courtney / Rey: or 6, 7, 8 more. Oh, more. Oh, wow. That's a long time. Yeah,

uncle Albert cat sounds like an ass.

GM: Well, uh, no, no, he he's just, he was doing his best to steal. No, you

know, just look, I mean, he was just doing the best with what he knew and my

family, our history is we were thieves that's that's my family's legacy.

And that's, that's what my dad's dad taught him. And, um, that's what got my

dad killed. And I mean, look at the Kachin. They don't do things legally, you

they, you just do what you, [: 01:16:00

know, he was, he was just doing, doing what he knew. He's really not that bad. I

don't, I don't even know if he knows what happened is my uncle would never

have left me, you know, like this

Courtney / Rey: that's you think highly of him and that toddler.

GM: Well, bloods blood, you know? Yeah. It's what you have. What about

you? You, you have any siblings or family or why are you here?

Courtney / Rey: Well, my brother died. I haven't seen him in a long time, but

I've heard he died heroically. And then this woman, I think her name was

McKenna. She kind of adopted him. It sounds like.

And was apparently an awkward mom, but a good one. Nonetheless, it sounds

like. And [: 01:17:00

stepped in front of an assassin thought and tried to save him and then they both

died. Um, I miss him a lot, but. I was living on, oh, I forget what the planet's

called now.

I've been so many places, but where everything just went down with where

everything went down and duel. Um, oh, so I was there. I was there and you're

still here and I am still here. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. And while I ran into Atlas there

and

GM:saw him, that's the, that's the connection. Okay. Okay. He, you

Courtney / Rey: should have seen him when I saw him though. He was broken,

like no one's ever seen him that accident before.

GM: Um, I think. I [: 01:18:00

as like a first Don giddiness Kachina, he had some funny stories about him. I

was really curious about the connection there when I saw you with him.

That makes a lot more sense.

Courtney / Rey: Yeah. Yeah. He also likes to embarrass me a lot, so that's

probably where some of his comments came from. Um, but he also altered this

dress. So think he's making some brownie points if you will. Oh,

GM: oh. And he, like, it seems like he actually finally notices that you're

dressed very nicely and he kind of flushes a little bit and he goes, Are we, is

this, I thought it was just a meat.

I'm so sorry. I thought we were just taught. I didn't know

Courtney / Rey: that it was a date and other people's that it sounded like a date,

but I thought we were just meeting too. And I had a beard on, at one point you

had a beard. [: 01:19:00

removed and Atlas six address, and I'm feeling very awkward.

I, I

GM: is the only, they, we don't have to cut. Do you want to call it a date? I

don't know why I'm not going to call it. If they ever, you're not going to call it

chocolate. Well, but that's just what you do at meetings.

Courtney / Rey: I've never been to

GM: a meeting where you bring hot chocolate. Would you have never been to

Bashar?

That's true. And it is, it is. It is customed. When you meet someone to, to break

bread with. To, to bring the blood of your ancestors with you and that's, it's not

literal. That's just what the hot chocolates is signifies. And when you meet

someone new, you, you, you, there's a, there's a whole thing to it. You know,

you, I would normally grab your hand and I would place both fingers under the

palms as a sign of respect and hello.

And, uh, I would give you a [: 01:20:00

and then he kind of starts flushing a little. He's like, oh, but no, it's not, that's not

the custom here. That's not the custom here. I've said, okay, this is in, he just

gets up and walks to the edge and looks out over the city. No, no, no, no, no.

Courtney / Rey: We all have our own customs.

It's just

Courtney / Rey: touching hands. And kissing is not one that I've ever heard of.

GM: But it's not like I wasn't saying that we have to do that. No, no. I

Courtney / Rey: mean, I mean, we can't, and if you want to like, be reminded

of your culture, it's I just, this

is the date.

GM: What do you think of the rock garden? It's really beautiful

Courtney / Rey: view of th this is beautiful. Um,

GM: yeah. Yeah. As you get up and kind of like join him to look at the view,

the sun is coming just perfectly so that the rocks, their normal grayish hue

it looks like there's like a [: 01:21:00

movement to it.

And then you look back out and you see like the water sparkling, and then your,

your gay starts to come down and you see about maybe 500 feet ish down

below. You can see smoldering remains of like part of the tower looks like it's.

Been blown out and you can still see like chunks of metal, all like spewed out

across the, uh, across the bottom of like the, the island and some of it into the

ocean.

What happened there? Oh, um, well, uh, there was an attack here, um, and you

see them start to kind of like put his two fingers together, kind of like tapping

them, make an insight, roll

Courtney / Rey: 16.

GM: It seems kind of like, like a weird, nervous tick as he's doing that.

[: 01:22:00

you've heard of it, but that's when people broke in and they attacked us and, and

they killed my master first on giddiness casino.

Why would

Courtney / Rey: they do

GM: that? I had, I don't know. Some people say that they made their way down

to the labs and technical devices were destroyed. I don't, I don't know. I don't

know. Gideon went down to confront them in and any, any died.

Why do men fight? I don't know.

Do you not fate?

Uh,

ot the way of my people. No. [: 01:23:00

Hmm.

GM: Okay. I don't, I don't think badly on others. Who do I it's just, how else

better to spread peace

Courtney / Rey: then the fight. But what was first on? Giddy is cushy and like,

GM: was he, oh, he, he was, he was, he was a good man. He, um, when I first

came here, he, he heard about the story of my uncle and he saw that I was a

mess and he said, I want him, I want him to work with me personally.

He, he was the kind of person that when he stood everyone in the room went

quiet that the sun rose, because he wanted it to be so, and it set because he

wished it. That was the, the kind of like force who he was, is warm. He had a

whole family [: 01:24:00

He was a good man.

Courtney / Rey: Who do you work for now? That he's. Not

around. Oh,

GM: the new first Dawn. Um, I don't know if you've met him. He's the exact

opposite of giddiness cold, hardly ever talks unless needs to always, and then he

kind of like, realizes he's talking bad about his master and he just kind of turns

red at the years. He goes, you're not going to tell him I said this, right?

No, no, he's cruel. He, any mistake he, he he'll let you know. And what's his

name? Uh . Ooh, so Cashion and that's when you notice a small bit of bruises

that run up the [: 01:25:00

has he,

Courtney / Rey: has he ever hurt you?

GM: Oh, uh, no, no, no, no, no, no. But, um, you know,

Courtney / Rey: you could tell me, I know the Acers pride themselves on

treating everyone God didn't and wanting people to stay here and

GM: make a persuasion role

10.

GM: No, he, he he's. He wants me to learn how to fight and, and I, he says that

every Don needs to have a slave who knows how to fight that. If I had, if I, if I

had known how to fight, it would be me that did not get his.

Oh, wow.

rtney / Rey: So is that what [: 01:26:00

GM: are from? I am terrible at fighting.

Hm.

Courtney / Rey: Well, I can't decide if it's helpful to help you learn to fight, or

if it's better because you don't like fighting for you not to fight, but I'm not

terrible at it. And Alice is really good at it.

GM: Oh, it's okay. It's is it

Courtney / Rey: fine because you don't want to learn and it's like against your

morals or is it fine because it's embarrassing that I'm offering

GM: it's

it's not the way of my people.

Courtney / Rey: So it's the morals part because then I'll leave

hat, the sun kind of finally [: 01:27:00

slips down over the horizon, leaving you guys in shadows and he kind of like

looks back in his. Oh, okay. Um, it's also against, uh, my people to be out with

a, uh, a woman past sundown it's.

Um, can I do an insight?

Courtney / Rey: Yeah. 12,

GM: he's getting very nervous and he goes I don't want to impose on your

virtue.

Courtney / Rey: My virtues. Fine. I can protect it. Oh, I didn't mean that. I, I

just, it, it's just the way of my people. Can I, can I say something? Yeah. I kind

of want to get to know you more and you're making it difficult by being evasive.

And unless first on has made it clear that you can't be here, that I, I want to help

you

GM: make a professional [: 01:28:00

10. Uh,

GM: can I give you my comms? Yes. Okay. And he gives you the information

for his calm, so you can talk to him whenever you want. And then he says, uh, if

this is really against, against my people against my way, I can.

How about next time next? How long are you going to be here? I don't know.

Well, let's plan you tell me when's a good time tomorrow, tomorrow sundown.

Perfect. Perfect. And we'll chat more

Courtney / Rey: be around me. It's against your people when the sun goes

down.

GM: Yes. It's the V at, at, at sunset, but it's so this sunset is beautiful now.

Courtney / Rey: Yeah. That's kind of why I wanted to stay in chat, but with a

ound since that's where like [: 01:29:00

GM: Well, maybe we can, we can go a little bit before. Okay. He starts to walk

away and he stops turns, looks like he wants to say something flushes bright red

with that five-year-old and then he runs off

by

GM: and leaves you out there.

I want you to roll one last perception, roll 10. You can't make out any

demarcations or information, but you see heading, uh, towards one of the

towers. You weren't really paying attention as you're kind of like turning. So

you just catch the tail. End of it, of this kind of like massive array of starships

probably about 12 in total flying formation around a larger star.

And it [: 01:30:00

the tower. I'm going to

Courtney / Rey: call outlets really quick.

Um, well, two things. Why would star ships be flying in formation into the

tower? That looks pretty serious. It looks either serious or very scary.

Nathan / Atlas: It could be a number of things. It could be someone if

importance or a diplomat is arriving. Um, could be someone getting back from

missions.

Courtney / Rey: Okay. But it's nothing to like worry about.

Nathan / Atlas: I mean, mostly, I mean, how many ships were there? Was there

just 1,

Courtney / Rey: 2 13?

Mm.

ust keep it in mind and I'll [: 01:31:00

Courtney / Rey: Do you know who first on Uzzah? Kachinas yeah,

Nathan / Atlas: I've sort of heard of him

Courtney / Rey: that two Creek belongs to now,

and

Courtney / Rey: I don't think he's being treated very well,

GM: which

Courtney / Rey: I'll, I'll tell you about it in person. And by the way, the date

didn't go terribly and he brought up a hot chocolate,

Nathan / Atlas: please.

Did you guys

GM: get it on or what,

Courtney / Rey: um, what do you mean ho? Um, I got to go by

GM: with that. I think that's a good place to call that game. Uh, thanks for
