Hello everybody, and welcome back to Dungeons, Drive,
Insurance, and Dice, and the start of our new season.
This season we'll be using the 2D6 Powered by the Apocalypse
system to play Apocalypse World Second Edition.
We're going to do a brief overview of the mechanics of the
start of the episode. So without any further ado,
welcome to Arcade Apocalypse. So hello and welcome to the next
little bit we'll be doing in Apocalypse World.
I felt like I wanted to talk a little bit about Apocalypse
World first because it's a different system than we've been
playing in as I like read and understood it.
It's just a bunch of badasses doing badass things in a
apocalyptic kind of setting. Badass.
I'm going to have to rethink my character.
You know, you don't necessarily need to be the baddest ass on
the field, but no matter what, in the end, you are a main
character and they you specify that an NPC can get shot and
die. You get shot and we make roles
and we talk about like what happened and there is like a
health bark system that kind of gauges that for you.
But like an NPC doesn't have that.
So you're like set apart from just the general people that you
come across stronger, more capable of taking hits and doing
cool things because you have the capability of making that
happen. It's narrative driven, less eye
attack and more I swing my bat at him.
We want to describe what we're doing so that we can use a role
to back it up rather than saying a role and then having to back
it up. Narratively.
It's a 2D6 system, so we're always basically going to be
rolling 2D6. Damage is a set number for the
most part. In the moves tab, there's a harm
subcategory. There's like some info in there
about what different levels of harm mean.
So we don't really need to roll for that because there's harm
evaluated there. And this is for you guys, not
for NPCS because again, you guys are set apart from NPCS.
An explosion generally will kill an NPC, whereas to you it means
I think for harm or some shit, which is a lot but livable if
you have most of your health bar.
We played pretty similar system with both Dungeon World in the
past and then most recently for most of the people at the table,
the Children of the Stars campaign.
Same thing with the 2D6 system, right?
You rolled 2D66 or below is a failure or a miss?
It's generally bad, not what you want.
Sometimes there's an extra thing too that goes wrong with that. 7
to 9 is your moderate success. Maybe you take a hit in getting
what you need done or you get what you need done, but you
knock over a a box onto an ally. It means that something can go
wrong in you succeeding. I would like to state that it
doesn't mean that something always will go wrong.
I think on a 7:00 to 9:00 you can also sometimes just succeed.
Like I'm not going to tear apart a building just because you got
a nine when we we needed a 10 for no box to fall on your ally.
Sometimes it just like a nine can just work 10 or higher.
Fantastic success. You do it amazingly.
And sometimes there's like an extra bonus, like you get an
extra question or a different list of questions or with level
ups as you guys go, sometimes you can engage with things
differently with 12 pluses when you roll them on like super
duper successes stats, they're a vibe, not necessarily what
you're doing, but how it's being done.
These are hard and fast to what moves they go for and your
character abilities can switch some of that around.
But they are cool. Meaning you're cool under fire,
rational, clear, thinking, calm, calculating, unfazed.
You are being cool, right? You are being hard.
You are being hot, sharp, or weird.
Weird is the hard one because it's all over the place.
It's your sidekick, it's your connection to the ghosts, it's
your anything that the other four don't cover, we can
probably cover it in weird. Most of those are
straightforward. In fact, I kind of think they
all are, especially when you scope out your basic moves in
the moves tab as to that's your like, bread and butter.
HX is history. It's your connection with
another character. You guys will each have
different history questions on your starting character sheets
that we will answer as we go. I think that's a good gist of
Apocalypse World and the System. It is in some ways a crunchier
version of Monster of the Week, it seems like.
Basically, yeah, more like D&D coded.
Yeah, So, Grace, you, you remember playing Vernon Bradley?
It's it's D&D coded Monster of the Week.
It's like a halfway point. Sweet.
Everyone asks questions in the meeting.
Not quite yet, and we're writing.
I'm not writing nothing. You cannot make me.
Write it on his character sheet guys, you won't do it.
That's funny. That's a good one.
That's an interesting character trait to go with from the get
go. In the perpetually sun blasted
savannahs of the apocalypse, scarcity is commonplace.
Scarcity of nourishment. Scarcity of security.
Scarcity of entertainment, enrichment and community that
even in the desolate and irradiated waste, the folks of
this land have found a way to survive.
For it is only by putting our full faith in our fellow person
and pulling our share of the weight that a Commonwealth can
be built. A group living together, working
together towards a common goal. Not just surviving the unending
day, but living, thriving. Nothing else is more at the
forefront of the minds of those who live within the scrap built
and piece meal walls of the town of Tedville.
While not easy, the reliance on their fellow community members
has made life tolerable for those that would pitch into the
greater good and the survival of its peoples.
Passing over and viewing with a bird's eye, Tedville seems an
incredibly active place, milk moving to and fro throughout the
town, transporting, repairing, delivering whatever is needed to
make things run on its outskirts.
We pass over a junkyard. We see a posse of vehicles,
arrive at the exterior checkpoint, pass the inspection
of a few guards on duty, and move inward to be unloaded.
The junkyard is the beginning and the end of all things that
enter its gates. Leading the charge of unloading
and sorting, we see Dill introduce us to Dill.
Dill is tall and he is smooth and he is buttery yellow
colored. He sort of looms over things.
He's like pro basketball player, tall.
Like. Alien Romulus tall.
Yes, when Dill comes up to these trucks, he makes a quick
inspection of of their contents and he sorts them in his mind
into two categories. For Dill and Not for Dill.
The not for Dill he unloads first, tossing them into piles
with slightly less than an adequate amount of care.
The four dill items he very carefully loads into a crate and
takes that crate back to his nest.
I mean, Dill lives in and runs the junkyard.
Talk to me a little bit about Dill's Nest in here in the in
the junkyard. I mean, it's pretty simple.
It's a crevice underneath a couple of things that are
toppled together. I'm sort of imagining stacks of
of junk cars, but that can't be right.
I have like a Fiddleford Mcgucket like shack in the
junkyard. I sort of the vibe it's not
quite as together as Mcgucket Shack.
I'd say it's more tarps spread between stacks of things to keep
out the rain if there's rain, or maybe the dust to keep out.
I have done my best to just not consider weather.
I didn't necessarily say it in the the narrative, but on AI did
say the unending day. I just tried to be kind of
ethereal about it. The planet done don't spin or
move. And so it's always this time of
day. Always you need to pull the
shades if you want darkness. It's always this time of day,
the rotation of the planet. Is that what creates wind right?
No, no. No pressure differentials.
Pressure differentials. Would that occur if the planet
does not shift and move? Yes, and they would be buck wild
because the temperature differences from the day and the
night size of the planet would be so different.
So the wind storms would be ravaging.
Not a lot of warning on those and probably all of the hatches
need to be battened down. Still has to go and get bike.
His junkyard is strewn for miles.
He probably doesn't get back most of his stuff if Big Storm
comes. Through I mean he's probably got
a safety hole like under the biggest pile moves like a sheet
metal aside and there's just a dill sized hole in there.
He dug it out with his big mitts.
Dill does basically everything by hand, as much as he can,
because he's got a big bad body. Let's see what it says on his
character sheet. You can contort your body into
bizarre, appalling and unnatural configurations, is what that
says there. And Dill does so with a
frequency that most people would prefer he didn't.
He likes to stretch and grasp all over his various junk.
He likes touching things on the way by.
Yeah, he's always sort of a tactile guy.
He's the kind of guy that notes like oh you guys, I should feel
this. The texture is awesome, except
maybe too. Often, and also, the things that
Dill finds texturally pleasant are like.
Sticky What is Dill's class? What is Dill?
Dill is a contaminated, which means basically means he's he
got some kind of alien foreign substance in him at some point
in his past and it has changed him and now he is different.
He is Dill. So you return to your Hut.
What does Dill get up to with this stash of goods?
It's a lot of batteries that are for Dill.
Dill takes his collection of batteries and he's crouched
down, all small and compressed, as as small of a Dill ball as he
can be. Dill ball is great.
Dill is going to be like my Batman.
I'm going to tack him onto as many things as I can anyways.
The camera behind Dill sees his back ripple and change as the
musculature moves from his back to his hands.
And his hands like web and stretch wide around the whole
collection of batteries. And it's just this big ball of
Dill muscle around these batteries.
And he raises his hands over his head and the camera sees him
crush the batteries in his hands with open mouth, just laughing
at anything that he can squeeze from them.
And we fade out to someone. Else I'm shattered that you do
that barehanded. Dill does everything barehanded.
You did lead up with that actually even crazier, but like,
I kind of expected a little like workstation you could do that
in, but fuck me, you just squeeze them.
That's incredible, no? I'm Dill's a gremlin.
Yeah, the bird eye quickly heads back up and over the town, no
longer wanting to watch this scene.
Bird eye view back over the town in the junkyard.
Past the junkyard we enter into the main thoroughfare of town,
people moving in and out, moving what needs moved and helping
when they can. While work is important, one
must also find space to relax and recuperate as the weary and
hungry Wasteland explorers return their cars to the garage
to be repaired and fine-tuned. Some gathered to join the
crowded tables of Deluca's Bordelle, some for food, some
for release. Let's get a little intro on D
Ham here. So D Ham is a skinny but tall,
pretty matte metal robot. He has no clothes.
He does have eyes and those are made of flashlights, and his
nose is a camera which he uses to see.
He moves about the crowd with a grace that is unusual given his
form. He is a master at his craft.
I literally have crossed out here providing service to the
masses with extreme something about you like doing it like a
dance, and that's literally what I imagined.
Like you just like dancing throughout this crowd, providing
incredible picking up glasses, putting them down.
I have a whole. Middle section that is a
dishwasher. Oh, I hold all kinds of things
in there, namely dishes. And he polishes as he takes them
out of his chest and puts them in front of a guest.
And you wash the dishes. No, but I can hold them there.
It's like a dishwasher, except it doesn't clean them.
Is a dish holder. You're a cabinet.
Yeah, it's a cat. That's a cabinet.
That's not a dishwasher. My chest is the busboy.
That's a bus bin, brother. My chest is the bus boy.
You wouldn't call the bus bin a
fucking dishwasher. My chest is called the busboy.
I'm not staring at you, I am taking your.
I can do both. I can do both.
That's awesome. You are a cupboard.
Yeah, you're the only server needed here on most given days.
I would imagine there's a replacement for the days that
you might have other stuff, but as the only server here at
Delucas Bordelle, like what is? The I'm sort of the main server.
I'm the server you want. There are days whenever Chantry
takes over and Chantry is not as fast, Chantry is not as
personable. Chantry doesn't present as many
options as D Ham does. Yeah, you know what kind of
service you're going to get when D Ham is on the clock, and he is
often on the clock. I don't imagine that when D Ham
hands on the clock, everyone else is sort of like a back
server, like they're just supporting Dham because they're
otherwise they're in the way. He has a practice dance he is
completing here and you cannot step into it.
What does Dham do in his off hours?
He doesn't spend all his time here in Delucas Bordell, even
though I imagine it might be most of it.
Yeah, a very good portion of his time, you know, he works the
lunch shift all the way through closing and whenever he is not
bussing tables with his chest cavity.
He is also a handyman. He goes around town and he knows
a lot about various doodads and doohickeys, so sometimes he can
fix them. He also spends a decent amount
of time at the junkyard finding leftovers and sometimes things
can be repurposed that you know non robot nose eyes might skip
over. I like that.
I like that you are the savvy head of the group, which is
plays into that engineer role. I like that.
It's like your sub classification.
It's. Absolutely my side puzzle.
You've taken your class, which is normally like what they do,
and you've taken your like hobby, which is like what builds
a lot of story, and you've kind of swapped them.
Yeah, it's. Funding for my true purpose
which will be reviewed field in time, but my true purpose can be
found or at least will one day be found at the restaurant.
At Deluca's. At the Lucas Chop house slash.
Bourdell A Bourdell is a good catch all for anything you could
need in the in the wasteland in a Tavern style setting.
It has food and beverages and sex if you so if you so need it.
I would also imagine drugs and gambling.
This is our vice house. Yeah, exactly that kind of vibe.
It's not allowed. Is Deham what we want to call
you? My name is Deluca's Chop House
answering machine. You can call me whatever you'd
like. Wait, why did we settle on D
Ham? If it's Deluca's chop house,
wouldn't it be D Ham? The C is silent.
C is silent I'm. Just going to go with ham.
Ham, of course, which is course #39.
How many courses are there? 99 courses.
Has anyone ever finished them? How long does a meal like that
take from the professional? How long would you like it to
take? Press 145 minutes.
No shot in hell you're getting through 99 courses in 5 minutes.
Press 24 days. Press 34.
I don't know. We'll bring it all at once, and
you make the choices. I imagine the five minute 1 is
like one of those belt fed systems where you just have to
try to eat as much of it as you can as it passes by, but it will
take 5 minutes for all 99 courses to pass in front of you.
You've chosen #4 Lemon Pfeiffer. Lemon Pfeiffer OK, we're going
to depart from the bordell for a brief moment as D Ham is dancing
throughout the crowd, expertly placing drinks where they need
gone. Honestly I would be willing to.
I bet there's even like a little bit of a gamble on D Ham and
like is he going to mess up or not?
I would imagine it's not an exact 100%, but it's a success
rate that is monstrous enough to be gambled on.
Oops, I tripped. The crowd goes wild.
Money is exchanged. Sometimes I trip on purpose.
Down the streets, past the overcrowded, heavily shuttered
residences lining it's twisting pathways, we come to the river,
the lifeblood of the town. Though without the aid of its
high tech filtration system. Run and provided by the source,
it's water is irradiated and undrinkable.
The mechanical edifice chugs away, churning the water inward
to be filtered and stored in collection tanks.
It's tenant works tirelessly to maintain it's working order,
however its main component, an intricate and proprietary
engine, has begun to sputter and smoke, and his current job is
simply to keep it running. A new one is on the way and it
should be here soon. Introduce Introduce us to
Spigot. Oh boy.
Spigot is tall and slender. He's not dill tall and I don't
think he's ham tall, but he's just over 6 feet.
He's slender, he. Tall, the guys.
Yeah, he has very worn hands, clearly the hands of somebody
who's worked his whole life. And so he's at a very quick
pace, moving back and forth, tweaking and adjusting knobs and
valves and turning things and checking pressure.
And so he wears the blue robes of his chosen profession, he
wears a hood over his face, and he generally has a mask over his
face. What kind of mask we talking?
Sort of looks brassy and it's very intricately carved with the
symbols of the water bearer. What are the symbols of the
water bearer? They're very flowy.
There's a lot that look like waves or rolling water, and
there's some that look like drops and then there, of course,
there are some that look like the pipes and filtration of the
system they use to purify the water.
Oh, I like to imagine around like the mouthpiece of the mask.
It like is, you know, tactile. And it looks.
Like pipes that go sideways, you know, And so you have like that
kind of dressing on the lower half that looks like the pipes.
I dig that. Is he always wearing this mask?
Almost always. It's very rare that he removes
the mask, and if he does remove the mask, you'll notice that the
right side of his face, he has a prosthetic lower jaw which is
also sort of brass colored and also etched with water bearer
symbols. So often times he wears the
mask, one, because he's working around equipment, and two, it's
a vanity that he wears the mask over the prosthetic.
Does the mask provide air filtration?
Probably not like a respirator, but like something to catch
particulate matter. Probably somewhat, probably,
probably not as much as it should, but he feels it helps
more like an N95 type mask. Obviously it helps when the dust
storms come, but not necessarily horrible chemicals that would
might seep out of things and places if you can't keep this
place running. This is one of the most
important jobs in the town, I would say probably the most
important for longevity of the town.
I think that the main city has their own way of doing things.
There's like a larger sister city that's like think more
metropolan to your city. They probably have a way of
doing it, but it's probably either expensive or not very
trustworthy or doesn't do the job perfectly well or whatever
it is. It isn't as good as this system
that is able to filter the water.
How does it filter the water? What is this?
We don't really talk about that to most people because we don't.
We don't want anybody else to know that.
Sure. Not even the players.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Or the audience.
No one can know. It is proprietary after all.
It is like a giant high tech version of a still basically,
and it's a lot of evaporation and condensation through
multiple silos. And there there's some secret
ingredient in the middle that maybe he's not even fully aware
of what it is because he just gets it resupplied from the main
city. And you have to put that part
into it, which is the final piece of the filtration to make
it drinkable water. Lots of pipes, lots of whirring.
In either way, it filters out the radiation, yes, and makes it
drinkable for the town, which gives you sort of a position
that like I would say one of probably comfort.
Your class is built around being the water bearer.
It is kind of about your control of the water.
So talk to me about your like before there's an issue with
your your engine and you're like having to really chug and churn
along to like keep this thing running.
What is your day-to-day like in this town?
He he does live a pretty comfortable life because nobody
wants to get on the wrong side of the person who controls the
clean water. He's also in a position where he
feels feels responsible to help maintain order and help maintain
society to keep the moral values, not not religious
values, but the moral values of the town in check that nobody
gets out of control. So he has some values that he
brings to the town that he helped, you know, impart to keep
people on an even keel. I would imagine that as the
water bearer, you're not like the law bringer of the town, but
to receive basically free water in exchange as as everyone does
for their their goods and services that comes with
following a few tenants. I would imagine that kind of
goes for the town as a whole, whether they are a part of your
group or not. Correct, it's a matter of
influence. It's a position of influence.
It's not a position of being the law keeper of the town, but he's
in a position to help mate suggestions and help move people
in the right direction because otherwise there is a penalty
which means you may be very thirsty.
There are laws that everybody must obey when it comes to
getting water. I didn't create these laws, but
it's my responsibility to enforce these laws as the water
bearer. It's fun to.
Say the water bearer didn't create them, but Mike
technically did. Yeah, player did, character did
not. So first you have to keep your
agreements. That's a key tenant.
If you don't keep your agreements, you will pay
restitution, and that restitution will be determined
based on how badly you break the agreement.
Water theft is not permitted, period.
The result is you are exiled. You leave the town, you don't
come back. No more water amber from this
town. That's right.
And the last one is any slave who swears loyalty and life to
the water bearers is granted freedom from their bonds.
Now they must abide by the rules of the water bearers.
And a slave that turns to a water bearer that breaks the
laws is returned to their original forced labor, no
questions asked. And one who forces a slave
turned water bearer to continue their forced labor is in turn
turned into a slave. So we are very particular.
What happens if we don't? Drink water then you all become
life-size prunes. I'll.
Become a prune, yeah? Yeah, only one of you might die.
I'm not sure that any of the rest would be hyper affected by
lack of water. That's very funny.
Yeah, I didn't. I did not think about the robot.
Maybe you need water for lubrication or something.
Nope. Or dill.
I don't. Dill doesn't need it.
I would imagine that Dill might drink it while it's easy
accessible, like if it's there or whatever, but he doesn't need
it, nor generally. Desire.
It I need it more, I need it to serve.
I need it to wash dishes. Dishes.
Oh, you do need water, don't you?
Don't you dishwashing busboy? No, he's not a dishwasher.
He's just a dish holder. Someone has to wash this.
Just a cupboard and with. What?
Because he doesn't have water. That's it.
Someone needs water. It's not me, but someone.
Maybe this whole time he's in a dishwasher, but he just doesn't
know because he doesn't have water in them.
We haven't filled the tank. We just dip our plates in acid
sterile. Cleans all the dirt right off so
that's the day-to-day when things are normal.
Now you've received note on this that a new engine is on the way.
You're having to work like double time to keep this thing
working at all. Day by day gets worse and worse.
How's this feeling to you after a week?
You know there's one coming, but you're working hard.
It's a little stressful because I don't have my opportunity to
engage with the town folk because I'm spending more and
more of my time just maintaining the machine.
So stress level is building, but it's certainly not at a frantic
level yet, but it certainly has broken my normal routine.
So there's there's some discomfort and a little bit of
stress, but it's certainly not panic point at the the end of
the first week. The end of Week 2, your machine
has started to break down quite a bit more, and now you have
sort of limits to enforce on water per person.
I think it's brought down to, we'll say a gallon per person
per day. That's for cleaning, that's for
drinking, that's for everything. Well, now his stress level is up
and now he's much more testy one because he's spending all this
time maintaining the machines and people are starting to get
snappy with him when they come to get their restricted water
ration. So he's not as perky and
friendly, which is not really how I would describe him.
But he's even less so at the end of Week 2 when the machine is
failing on him and it feels like the town is really pissed at him
because he's having to restrict water ration.
So he's starting to become very short tempered.
It's great when the job you provide is the one that the town
needs. It's not great when the town
needs it and you can't provide it for the moment or as well.
That is declining. And at the end of the second
week, that engine has still not come, though you've heard no
word as to its whereabouts. It definitely should have been
here days after you heard it was coming, and now it's been
another seven days. A couple weeks later we follow a
rogued figure with a slight build, moving quickly through
the streets and returning with their measly shares to the water
filtration plant. They're new here and things are
foggy. They've been here only a week,
and strange images have been playing on repeat in their head.
Images of a child's face, half obscured, quickly outpacing them
and leaving them in a cloud of dust.
Images of an ancient labyrinth, arched hallways and being chased
by ethereal spectres. And images of a smiling face
caring for and tormenting her in an endless cycle.
Everything else is a blur. Everything saved.
This machine, this engine, it's familiar.
In her waking moments, she attempts to help the kind water
bearer keep his engine running. Introduce us to pedal.
I guess the descriptors are ambiguous in terms of overall
shape, but I interpret that in because she always is wearing a
like mechanic. I picture as like a mechanic
style jumpsuit. It's long sleeved but made of a
brittle material. It protects from the sun as well
as protects from this like I'm assuming dust and sand and grit
that is blown around and she's always wearing that so it kind
of gives her a baggy ish form and especially when she's got a
hooded cloak or some sort up over to provide protection for
her face. You're new here.
You've been here a couple weeks at this point.
Let's say you've been here since that last week update with our
water bearer. You're here for 14 days, maybe
awake 10 of them. So 10 days ago from the point we
talk about now, as you move through the streets with your
rations for you and the water bearer end out on a little break
from keeping the engine working. 10 days ago were found out quite
a ways in a totally different direction than expected.
In the ruined shell of the delivery van, alongside the
delivery driver that was supposed to be delivering the
engine, You were thrown from the vehicle driver's seat empty, and
the delivery driver in the back sort of haphazardly tossed.
Both alive, though they have yet to wake up.
You have talk to me about your first few days of waking.
I'd like to imagine that when the wreckage is discovered and
me and the other individual are taken back inside, the general
abrasions are kind of tended to and just kind of waiting to wake
up. I imagine that she wakes up and
in a haze, doesn't really remember much of anything except
I remember my name. Petal.
Not much else, not a whole lot. My name is what stuck up the
mustard. Doesn't even any other kind of
the second names exist in this world.
No one else seems to have one, but he can't remember one.
It's just pedal. That would be wild though.
We got Dill, Deham, Spigot and Elena Johnson.
My last name is answering machine.
That's fair actually. Yeah, we do have a multi name
that we've just sort of abbreviated.
But she can't picture 1 if he tries to think too hard about
mother, father, siblings held at home.
It's just her head hurts too much, especially right behind
her eye, which is prosthetic. She has a prosthetic eye.
And I'm just gonna read the description that I sent to M.
Her eyes are Hazel. 1 is a flesh eye, the other a stunningly well
made prosthetic. It's well done with minimal
scarring to the surrounding tissue.
Factually and unsurprisingly, the prosthetic is far better
than the original. The green is eerily, unnaturally
bright, and the pupil a swirl of black and brown with no clear
boundary between the two. And then, down the left side of
her face, on the same side as the prosthetic, is a scar of
seven indiscriminate digits running from left cheekbone down
to halfway down her neck. And when she reaches up to touch
it, it feels like raised and fleshy, but not.
Who knew that it's painful to touch?
It's just, it's still healing, but it's not faded when she when
she first woke up and she tries to think about any of her
history, that pain behind the prosthetic is too much and she
has to focus on something else. And I think that's when she
hears the sounds of arguing, of muttering, and she kind of
follows it and finds they get communicating with other people
that work with the water bearers or whoever they are.
I don't know what you call them. And it's people's disciples,
Bros. Bros.
You follow the arguing you hear. You hear some of the townsfolk
arguing about why they're only getting half a gallon now,
because now it's been a few more days and it's really starting to
wander towards negative. So why they're only getting half
a gallon now when they got a gallon last week absolutely
easily draws you to the place. I love that.
I haven't washed dishes in over a month.
One of them is absolutely deep D ham yelling You haven't washed
dishes ever. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
You can't. You haven't washed dishes ever.
You've collected them. You even know that you're a
dishwasher. Yet no one's ever asked me to.
D Ham You have to clean the dishes whether people tell you
to or. Not I don't know what happens to
the dishes after they get behind the barrier.
The number on the side of your face, indiscriminate until our
next session, because Grace will have a chance to make that
number. For now, she has chosen the
indiscriminate number of 8005 going down the side of her face,
which is perfect. I guess if it's seven, we can
say 800513. No, wait, 800-8135.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That would be it, boobies.
Or blooms with a bunch of OS. Yeah, yeah, yeah, actually,
that's really good too. 800-0000 Boob Boob is great also.
Either that's just for now, I'm ready to be instruct by
inspiration. I don't have any idea what the
numbers signify or represent. Me neither.
I mean, she doesn't either. So a couple weeks in, I'm going
to say that pedal basically has been able in her work to bring
it up from that half a gallon back to a gallon even.
And then in that couple weeks it has slowly reduced back to half
a gallon, though she has found a way to sort of maintain that
over the past few days. It seemingly slowing down its
reduction. The two of you talked to me
about how this is sitting for you now with update information.
Spigot has received notes. These engines, they can't just
make another one as easy as that.
It's going to take a lot of time and at least as far as he's
concerned, seeing as things have gone already, more time than you
would have for them to just make another one.
Delivery drivers situation upon arrival.
He may be alive, unconscious, we can even say maybe at the end of
this month, beginning to wake up and mutter.
But the mutterings are incoherent as both of his eyes
have been carved out, his tongue removed and his ears sewn shut.
Not actually, I'm gonna say beyond sewn shut because you
that has to be permanent. So probably eardrums punctured.
How? Do you sew an earshot?
Yeah, it's, well, you, you pull the flap down and you sew it to
the side, but then then you just cut it and it's back open.
So it's not like that's not, that's not anything good.
They punctured his eardrums. So no ears, no eyes, no tongue.
No worrying you. He's been geezed, beaten, so
that's not helpful. But he has woken up.
And I'm not going to portray this character because I think
that any portrayal I do will be incredibly offensive.
You know, incoherent mumbling because there is no tongue.
That I think is update points. Do we have?
Painkillers. I'd say so.
He's not in.
Then no worries. Also, it was probably a bit
touch you go for a while, but is, you know, feeling better.
Less screaming, more mumbling lately.
Press 1 for Advil rapid release. You can't also be the ain't the
battle Angel. Press 2 for nothing.
Blatantly pressing 1 but accidentally hits 2 and the the
machine leaves no. How is the How is this sitting?
The two of you have had an incredibly important job over
the last two weeks. Pedal difficult for you to find
time which might be beneficial for you in this time, but to
find time to try to consider your traumas and why you can't
remember heavy work. What is this like for the two of
you? Why would I want to do that?
Exactly. It's obviously feeling slightly
less stressed because now Pedal is here to assist with the
mechanical upkeep of the machine, but he's still feeling
a lot of stress because the townspeople are being very
pissy. So he's trying his best to keep
everybody calm and make sure they understand that this is the
only source of clean water, so they're going to have to bear
with what they get, because the other option is no water at all.
So he's trying to manage the problem, but he's clearly
feeling the strain, especially with the news that he's gotten
from his other Water Bros. As Pedal put it, he's on the
verge of feeling like he's got to go do something, but he can't
leave the machine unattended. So I think he's going to want to
communicate back to his order that they need to send someone
out to maintain while he figures out what can be done to save
this machine. Yeah, Petal, your time here has
been solely devoted to maintaining this community's
supply of water as it diminishes.
How is that settling with you? It's good to have a purpose,
like you said, to distract from the horrors, and so it's good to
have a job that turned out to be pretty indispensable.
She can't explain even though how she knows how to fix.
She doesn't know how, but her hands do the thing and they do
it just fine. If you think it's about too
hard, the eye pain comes back and we just go right back to
her. Or not.
No, no, not that. Phantom pain behind the fake
eye. That's all right.
We don't need to think about that.
But you know, she also needs water to drink.
So it isn't great that she can see being on the front lines
that if they don't find a solution soon, it's just not
going to be water by the end of the month.
That's not a great feeling to know that and also to know that
you also can't. Because then you're just going
to spread fear everywhere. So she's aware of the tension,
but probably not to the same degree because she doesn't
really know anybody because she's just been either out.
You know that I imagine that maybe she and Spigot take turns
who gets to go outside because I imagine that the plant doesn't
have a lot of light because some of that stuff light can really
mess with so. Some of it has to be hidden.
Plus, some of it's like, secret, right?
Yeah, OK. That's an interesting thing to
talk about, too. I imagine some of those rooms
are secret, like the average layman is not probably allowed
to see the engine. So how did this come about?
And how is this transition from like total stranger to allowed
to touch the engine over, you know, the course of 10 days?
Spigot would have had the conversation with her that I'm
grateful for your help, but you need to follow the rules of the
water bearers when it comes to this equipment and nothing that
you see in here can be revealed or there will will be
repercussions. Do either of you have like
relevant history questions to this?
No. No I have AI have a question
that could be related if I rephrased it, which is art.
Would you be willing to like me to serve the source, and the
source being the water? That's so fire.
I was thinking in the background absolutely about like it only
makes sense that even if it was a quick swearing in that you and
you know grace can you you can absolutely input on this, but
may have sworn her in as a water bearer of some kind which.
Deputy water bearer, it's that. Fucking question.
But I don't want to force Grace into a box if that is a verse to
what she, you know, wants. Maybe there's a way she earned
her way into it. I don't want to take that away.
I think I like the idea of having an identity of pedal dash
water bearer, but I don't know how she would prove that she
knows how to do the engineering. That kind of shows how valuable
I'd like. This to be specified because we
have an engineer on the team to the engine.
And I think that with that case, it probably is like you heard it
churning in the background, like it reached a point where it is
so loud that even when you're in the building, you can hear this
things chug. And maybe that's particular and
that's how it's tied to this engine.
You know that sound. And you were like, hold on, I
know that sound. And maybe you guys discussed it
a little bit and he would you gave enough info that he was
like, hmm, well, I'm desperate. Please maybe if this is what we.
Yeah, he is like, so you are a drawer.
And I was like, yeah, but I've got conditions because.
Namely, amnesia. The condition?
That's funny as fuck. I don't know how I know it, but
clearly I know this thing that nobody else knows.
I'm not going to blab, but I don't want to be like tied down
to having to be a water bearer. Yeah, you haven't taken a full
oath, but maybe you've agreed to the terms of during this period
of engagement, you will follow the Water Bearer code.
Yeah. She probably saw the engine
before you, you know you didn't force her into it.
But it's more of a I'm going to have to ask you to leave the
room and not talk about this unless you could help.
Me unless. And while we're getting things
figured out, the water bearers help people.
So you're helping her get things figured out?
Here sign this. Let's take it back to the
junkyard. This delivery van has come in
and it got stripped for its easy access parts.
Dill. You've been digging through it
looking for the the juiciest bits you can squeeze for your
nasty juice. You're over the face.
Raw hand squeeze, juice, fresh squeeze.
Get you dill juice. Nope, just for me.
Just for me, you've come across a little flyer for oh a shopping
complex is a flyer for the Green Brook Mall.
Looks like a bunch of teens like hanging out partying.
All of them have 4 arms and they partying a bunch.
Of my champs champion it out. You know, there's an arcade
machine in the background, some roller skates, and it says like
all the fun you could have at the Green Brook Mall back in the
back of this delivery van. And that just, it seems out of
place. This is a water bearer delivery
band. Everything in here is coming
from the actual monastery at the source, which is not the main
capital city, but upstream at the source of where the water
comes from. It came from the source, not
anywhere else. So the Green Brook Mall, that
ain't that. Everything else in the van is
very particular to the job that it should have been doing.
But it is now destroyed. This is now a thing that I am
stripping. Yeah, stripping it for parts.
The engine was absolutely wrecked.
The whole thing was flipped and tumbled and and whatnot.
It was found like upside down and shit and it's messy.
And it's messy in there. There's bits bits of driver.
Bits of driver. That's not quite the kind of
mess I was hoping for. Not not noticeable.
Bit like his eyes aren't there. He didn't lose his eyes and ears
and tongue in the accident. No, I know.
But if it happened inside the vehicle, there probably.
Was yeah, the front of the vehicle is probably something of
a horror show. I was going to say that Dill,
like, licks all of the mess, but this isn't this not the kind of
mess we're talking about. He probably does tongue the
engine a little bit though. Grace makes a great point that,
and you might have noticed this too, the wreckage and and
whatnot on the inside is definitely due to a wreck.
There's not excessive amounts of torture blood in here.
Like you could theorize that he did not lose his eyes in this
truck. Dill grabs for all the loose,
any loose rivets and you know, just rips the vehicle part bit
by bit. That's the way.
Dill There's got to be a basic role here for something fun.
There's got to be like a investigative mystery move.
That's not really a mystery solving game.
It really isn't a mystery solving game and that's OK.
I just wanted to make sure I'm not like skipping over something
that is like mechanical for us to do.
I still think there probably could be an investigative role
of some kind to get extra stuff. And it feels like a sharp role
to me. So role plus sharp.
So before we even roll, I'll let you know on A10 plus, I'll let
you hold 2 on a 7 to 9 hold one and you can ask questions about
this this van in front of you. OK, things you hear that are
hidden or extra ways it's broken.
Kind of along the lines of read a person.
Read a panel van. I've rolled A2.
You've rolled A2. So this is it's perfect Dill.
Not only is Dill has a -1 sharp, he also is just here to to
destroy a van, to strip it and reduce it to its components
bits. There's a piece of paper and he
takes the piece of paper and he puts it with the other papers.
He's probably got some sort of like combustibles.
It's probably with the seats. Things that ignite quick so I
can light fire when it's cold. Yeah, this is my burn pile.
Awesome, awesome. I think in your stripping of the
van, what I will give you is that some of the parts don't
seem like they were a part of this van.
Are they a part of the engine that we was transporting?
Like the stick shift is a different thing.
All of the console fits together in this nice cream, white, blue
accented situation to really match the water bearers imagery.
Maybe bronze in there somewhere but this shift stick is black
with like a red knob on the end of it.
That's the weird stand out that it just doesn't fit in with
anything but you strip it down. D Ham.
As tensions rise in the town, the Tavern definitely becomes a
lot more rowdy as water is reduced and alcohol consumption
is probably increased. How is this going for you as the
more like rowdy nature is coming out of the town?
The benefit I would say of the hams side gig as the town
handyman if anybody starts to really get out of hand, much
like the water bearers, D Ham can, you know, threaten to not
fix their watches. And they're not anything that
would be life threatening necessarily, but it'd be a
bummer if you couldn't have it fixed.
Like what if your flashlight stopped working?
Fixed cars. I gotta fix a car.
I fixed a car here and there. I have my own car.
No one can ride in it. You know my car.
I didn't. I don't know.
Do I know you? Do you have a car?
Have I talked to you? We gotta.
We don't have any history. We haven't done our history
questions yet. I don't.
Know then no, I don't know about your car and I don't want it.
So I I think the rowdiness in the Tavern is often tempered by
D Ham's presence. Just a real quick improv note.
I don't know about it and I don't want it is like super
averse to yes and but I do like where you're coming from.
No and never. No, and I don't want to either.
We're going to do this instead. Well, now my character has a
problem. With tensions at their high
point throughout the town, you can withhold.
This is a neutral ground. This is sacred to us here in the
town. You're not the operator of
Deluca's, but you are the main worker.
Like there's probably a boss that owns the the establishment,
but you can naysay folks to all parts of Deluca's.
No gambling, none of the sex rooms, none of the food, no
nothing. If you want to act a fool.
If you are being rude. No sex for 15 minutes.
What's the vibe in which you control?
Your crowd, it's not aggressive, but it's passive aggressive.
Just be like, oh, you're acting like that, OK.
I'm going to call that a hard roll unless one of these better
fit may be cool, but I think hard still fits the vibe even
though you're going like passive hard.
I can get harder. I am a robot.
I'm made of hard. Oh, I'm not that made of hard.
So including my bonuses, that's going to be a. 4 The water is
affecting everyone. You can't get clean dishes.
And that's really, I think what a lot, a lot of the hold up is
it's not so much here that tension, I mean, tensions are
obviously high, but you are having to clean the dishes.
Oh, in a different way. Talk to me about how you're
having to clean these dishes with no water.
We are in a wet environment, the bar is wet, so I must remove the
wet. And how may I do that you ask?
Well, something we have in abundance here at Delucas Chop
House is sand. So inside of my chest cavity
today is sand. No.
And it's not dirty if it's Sandy.
One Wild, 2 actually effective. So impressive.
Like you can clean shit with grit.
I have done it on camping like adventures before.
You can absolutely just sand clean your dishes and it is 100%
OK to continue. I would not say forever.
I hope it's not forever. I think what the biggest
frustration then is what I'm going to give you with the four.
There is frustration, but it's about the grit.
I don't think there's anything besides that like grit in all of
the beer. You just get Sandy beer right
now. Press 14 grit, they don't.
Press 24 grit, they don't. There is only grit.
They panic and then that's why the fight.
Pressed one repeatedly, over and over and over.
You get it. You've got it.
That's fantastic. Oh my gosh.
I think now is a great time to do a little circle talk.
Let's do it in order of folks I introduced.
So we'll go dill D ham spigot, then pedal.
So if we all go to Dill's page and we look at this fun list of
things to consider. Consider these just for the the
fun the play along at home is consider these human blood, any
blood, raw flesh, electricity, terror, poison, or the moment of
death. Wow.
Consider them. It feels a little bit like a
like a Cars Against Humanity set of answers here.
It does. But what the question is?
So my first question here is which one of you has provided me
with poison? Sure it.
I don't want it. I can't have poison in here.
I'm trying to run a a successful business.
But what kind of poison you got wet?
That's my favorite kind. Dry poison goes down so rough.
He has to snort it and he hates that.
Do the gritty. Even when I can stretch my
nostril, like scoop it up. Oh.
My God. Oh.
The cocaine spoon is your nose is unacceptable poison.
OK, D Ham provided you with poison.
For Ham, I mark one for history. And so now my second question.
Which one of you has blocked me from the moment of death?
What does that even mean though? Blocking someone from death.
They cooked him from dying. This saved my life.
I think is prevent prevented my my demise.
Which I will say I'm like a cockroach.
I'm a pretty difficult sucker to kill.
In fact, it says in my character sheet that no amount of harm can
kill me, but I can be like sterilized or you know, the,
the, the hot part of the planet. You know, I burn, in fact, I
burn pretty readily from all of the poisons that are in me.
So perhaps which one of you put me out one time?
I feel like maybe that's a spigot thing if you were burning
or smoldering this. Seemed like the only time that I
would need the water. Maybe, maybe you you were
drinking lighter fluid next to an open fire and it just went
wrong this time. And Spigot had to put you out.
Get a bad bad bar do. Have -2 sharp and that that
seems. Like it would be the guy who has
access to water who might have seen fit to put you out.
No one has ever seen Dill panic until he was on fire, and then
it was like a sheer terror panic.
Yeah, it's. Also something of a body horror.
It's exactly like if you light a Cronenberg creature on.
Fire. I like that spigot.
So spigot stopped you from the moment of death?
What does that mean for you? It means that Spigot gets a 2
for history from me. Good for everyone else.
Pedal gets a -, 1 what you are but shadows to me.
You're new in town. Super tracks for the implant
into town. There is a final bit that
technically happens at the end, but it sort of feels like we
could probably knock all of this out now.
Yeah, Yeah, we can hit that. Yeah.
So Mike, you've got the highest history with me.
So what? Which of my stats do you think
is the most interesting? Oh, all right, do.
You think cool dill, hard dill, hot dill, sharp dill, or weird
dill is the most interesting? One fish 2 fish red, fish blue.
Fish. This one drives a little.
Car I think hard deal is right on par.
So I think the most interesting one to me is that you have got
+2 to weird. I sure do.
And I'm curious to see how that plays out with a character who's
not sharp but has access to the opening your.
Brain to the psychic maelstrom and in game parlance.
To me, I think that one's probably the most interesting
and I look forward to seeing how that plays out.
I'm here for that. Like it so highlight weird.
And then you get to pick one of your own to highlight.
No, you do. You pick one of mine.
I get to pick one. I like being a part of this.
You get to pick one from each character I.
Sure do. Okay, let me think.
Weird is highlighted. I think what's interesting is
having the other highlighted stat be because of your
contamination. So like everything unhighlighted
is what dill can do and the highlighted stat being weird,
which already makes sense because contamination.
I think the other one, even though it's your -1 is going to
be sharp because I think that your contamination is weird and
sharp and that I think hot is off the board.
I do. Have a plus one to hot and I do
you know it's just the spread you're hard and.
Cool. And that's it.
I know that you're hottest plus one.
We'll figure that out. It's like a Mads Nicholson vibe.
Press 3 for electric personality.
When you got to get sexy, we'll make it weird.
And sexy. I think there's probably
something a little unnerving about the way that I move, sort
of uncanny valley. I don't like that I'm going to
do this, but it's sort of like a sensual.
Movement. Oh boy.
I eat batteries sexily. I am enamoured with the world
around me and all of the it's various juices.
Very sensual. You're touching and you're
caressing the things around you. And sometimes that may mean your
ally's gun, and sometimes that may not, you know, be the
steering wheel of the car as you drive.
You love the feeling. I like that.
That's very fun. That's where your heart comes
from. Not very sensitive.
In the wrong moment it could turn anyone on, and that's what
you all need to be careful of not.
Not pedal. Not Grace ever specifically, but
pedal. Oh wait, no, not pedal. -1 man.
No, not pedal. And I think that's that's that
for me. So who's who is next?
I think it was Lawrence. Here we go.
Which one of you is the most strange?
What's the strange ranking this here?
Yeah, What's the strange ranking this guys?
I mean, I think my strange gauge goes up to 11, so it might even
go up to, you know, 13. I don't know, there's something
about an implant with boobs carved into the side of their
face is pretty good to me. Boobs.
It's pretty high up there. Boobs.
How do we do better than a bare fisted batteries acid squeezer?
Yeah. And I gave him poison and he
said young. Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum and he
drank it right away. What the fuck?
Right in front of me. That's awesome.
Yeah, definitely the strangest for sure.
And it was a 5 gallon tub. I had so much poison.
Not anymore. Just stood there and chugged it.
That means for a dill you get that what it looks like plus. 1
+ 1. Interesting.
OK, yeah, that's fun. And which one of you is the
biggest potential problem? Well, I think it might be boob
face, yeah. Probably boob.
It makes perfect sense that the robot doesn't really care about
the water bear. Actually, that tracks entirely
because I would imagine that. I'm not in charge of that part.
You're. The biggest potential problem
because you don't know, therefore he can't know and he
can process once he knows and then his next thing is for
everyone else, write hex -1. Minus.
One, you've got other stuff to do and other stuff to learn.
Water Bear is taken care of, he doesn't need to worry about
that. So that's plus one for Theodore,
+2 for Grace's character, and -1 for Mike's character.
OK, so am I writing plus one or -1 for me?
You're not writing anything that was.
That's actually all for Lawrence's character.
He's just picking for his. You're picking one of his stats.
Oh yeah, but at the end choose character with the highest Ajax.
So grace you get to pick one of D Ham's stats and highlight it,
which is going to be like beneficial in another way.
I actually have to re look up what that means.
Give me a good one. Press 4 to learn what that
means. Basically, it's cool, hard, hot,
sharp, or weird. What do you think is the most
interesting facet of D ham? How cool I am, how weird I am,
how hard I am. How hot you're not?
Well, it's not very hot. I think it's interesting that
robots aren't hot 'cause I feel like you could.
A robot can be made to look anywhere.
That's interesting. That's a fact.
All right, highlight hot. I'm gonna you know what?
I'm gonna I'm gonna patch on to that.
Actually, while talking while talking with Lawrence, the hot
and the cool aspect of being a robot has been left by the
wayside. I'm gonna highlight cool.
So we're highlighting cool and hot for this robot who has
actively chosen to make himself sort of nondescript piece meal
and built together. But I think that I agree with
Grace in that you can build yourself up to be whatever you
want. You can build yourself up to be
cool and hot. I want to be a lemon Pfeiffer.
Well. OK, when I say whatever you
want, I don't mean like you can categorically change like your
sense of being, but like you can fair.
Press 3 to change your general sense of being.
OK, good point Spigot. Yeah, time for history
questions, right? So I've already asked one of my
questions. Was which one of you, like me
serve the source? We know that's +2 with Grace's
character. Pedal, yes, that's +2 with
pedal, Yeah. So my other question is which
one of you once gave me water in the wilderness, whether that's
real or metaphorical. That one's tough, and it can't
be pedal. Yeah, it can't be new.
Because pedal's new. It seems most likely that it
would be D Cam D. Cam makes more sense than D ham
I feel like. I would actually have water on
me rather than battery acid or whatever.
And sometimes, and sometimes I'm in the wilderness looking for
ingredient books. That's probably very true.
Try. To think about metaphorical.
Water. Yeah, if you can come up with
something metaphorical other than my literal.
You have one storage tank. Currently you use it for plates,
but it is airtight and you can use it for water.
These plates are wet. You just choose not to
currently. Press 2 for wet.
Plates. Metaphorical water, I mean dill.
If you came across someone dying in the wastes, what would you
do? Would you feed them food and
water, or would you try to serve them poison?
No, I mean, Dill knows that he's Dill, and the other people are
not Dill. I mean, I think if Dill came
across someone in the wasteland, he would probably, you know,
sling them over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and go
on his way. When he found some, when he
found some shelter, you'd, you know, deposit them in it.
Which do you think it's more likely that one of you is out in
the wilderness? Out and about.
I'm constantly in the wilderness.
If I'm not repairing something or I'm not in the restaurant,
I'm in the wilderness. Here's the one other wrinkle
that I could introduce is Dill is an idiot.
However, Dill is not the only consciousness rattling around in
that big yellow boy, and the other consciousness in there is
super duper intelligent and deeply calculating.
And so it could also be in one of his Dill fugues that he came
upon I. If you were a water bearer at
that point, you would be, you know, someone worth saving.
Now this goes into part of my back story which we haven't
covered, which is part of the way I became a water bearer is
they helped me recover from an some of the trouble I got into.
So maybe you discovered me and took me to the water bearers and
said I can't help him, but maybe you can.
In exchange for paper. I'll give you this man for some
batteries. That's interesting.
That's a, that's a really long game.
And I do like that as a, as a, yeah, like an alien
intelligences, you know, time traveling chess move.
I mean, then I think at that point I might call the water
metaphoric and just leave it at that because I've got a cool
idea. Yeah.
You know? Dill provided you water and took
you to the water bearers and that is where you found
yourself. Dill does not know this.
OK, I guess, but you remember Dill's face.
You would have to because it's your history.
Dill is pretty memorable. Yeah, yeah, it's fair.
You've only seen one of him. In my delusion, when they took
me to the water bearers, I was rescued by a giant banana.
He. Was rescued by a giant banana.
Eva. Bananas, but banana all.
Right, so dill is +3 history. That's pretty wild.
And for everyone else, HX plus one a little bit no matter what,
because of I I like to imagine that just because of your job,
right? Like everyone needs water.
Yeah, even the fucking dishwasher.
Choose the character with the highest stat.
That's Dill. You get to pick one of his stats
to highlight the water bearer and I will get to pick the
other. If you want to go first, I don't
have one. I'm going to go, I'm going to
highlight hard because I think that even though it's I keep
picking the negative stat and it's not because I want to pick
the negative stat, but it's because I think that these are
just interesting stats for this character.
Like hard, You would have to be hard sometimes, and even if
you're bad at it, you would have.
It's still practice. Yeah, exactly.
Like that's got to be part of the training to turn people down
even when they're in need sometimes.
Like you have to pick and choose those battles and that's got to
be something. Important.
All right. And on my end, I'm going to
highlight Shark because when I was looking at your history
text, the history plus one, you saw them coming.
That phrase jumped out at me. I liked it.
Okay, last but not least we have pedal.
I can't allow to see my sheet but I only have one question and
it is which one of y'all gave me food.
Which one of you have shared your own food with me?
Not it. I don't have any food of my own.
I think that's Spigot. Yeah, that seems like a easy
crossover. She identified the problems with
the machine. He welcomed her in and said my
resources are at your disposal if you can help me keep the
machine running. Yes on spigot A no categorically
on dill, 'cause you don't want his food, nor would he choose
to. Share it your shadow to me.
That's fair. You're a shadow to him.
Yeah. Yeah, then you're a banana.
To me, you're a banana. I mean not one I can eat.
I do like the idea that at some point during this companionship
between Spigot and Petal. They call a banana.
You've heard the story of the banana that lives in the church.
And saved. His life one time.
The rancid banana. I'm a meta but it's snowy.
Have what about D Cam? Has he shared food with Pedal?
Can you buy it? I don't have any.
I don't have any food of my own. Press 4 for free food.
Do you also have like, are you like an answering service on top
of a dishwasher? Is that the thing?
My primary function is being an answering service for the Lucas
Chop. House he straight up takes
reservations, but he has had a bit of a promotion since his
that those days. Would you like to hear your
reservation voicemail? We have gone through histories.
Yeah, H14. Wait, nobody picked my?
Does nobody pick my things because I'm a?
Mike has to pick a stat. So Mike, you pick a stat and
then I'll pick a stat. Oh, all right, I get to pick a
stat. Let me go to pedal.
Everyone else has -1. I'm torn between cool and sharp
because sharp. She came in and read the
situation with the machinery that helps spigot.
That's a great point. But I think she's also come in
and she's been the calm presence that's helped Spigot make it
through this far when he was starting to lose his cool.
My answer will not help you, so I am going to wait.
Excellent. Yeah.
Then I'm I'm going to go with Sharp because she came in and
she read the situation and helped me out.
And I'm going to go with weird because, I mean, she's got a lot
going on in her head, and even though her visions are based on
cool, she can keep it together. But there's a lot of weirdness
happening around her and it will fit a lot of what she's got
going on, I think. And that takes care of our
history. So I guess that's where we find
ourselves overviewing this town on the edge of crisis, Their
water filtration system, like we've said, the lifeblood of
this town on the verge of collapse.
The town holding it together, but only somewhat doing an OK
job of maintaining their their tempers as water rations dwindle
and that becomes more of an issue.
The water bearer spigot has sent requests for help and the
request has been approved. There should be someone a stand
in arriving soon to maintain your facility while you deal
with it yourself. And you are planning on doing
just so wants a stand for. The next few episodes we will be
covering the water crisis in the town of San Theodore and telling
the harrowing story of how its community bound together to
solve their catastrophic dilemma.
I'm Kew and this is Wasteland Pirate Radio WPR bringing you
the uncut airwaves from the blasted wastelands.
