Live Laugh Loot contains foul language, violence, drug and alcohol references, and irreverent humor.
(00:05):
So if you're not a fan of all that, then don't watch the show.
Okay, bye!
Well, I have it- I have it open now. Are you happy?
No. I am NOT happy.
I'm happy, because I hit record. Did you hit record?
I hit record. Did you hit record?
I'm happy because I hit record.
Did I ask?
Yeah? Well, I got my dog with me.
(00:27):
I think I win.
Well, that's very good for you.
I hope that dog is a good boy or girl, whatever.
Previously on Live Laugh Loot, Detective Ozzy the Ostrich and cartoon star Felicia Fox continue
their investigation into the disappearance of the Juggernaut, learning that he's backstage
at the Entertain-a-Thon. But to get back there, they had to participate in a cosplay
(00:48):
contest for backstage passes. After a bit of blundering around, they signed up and hastily
assembled their costumes and got ready to strut their stuff, which, to put it mildly,
failed miserably. And with the errant stench of corn dogs in the air,
Ozzy went into a frenzy and jumped into the crowd, beating back security in the process.
With the lead security guard acquiescing and handing them passes,
(01:10):
they're off to the backstage area to find the Juggernaut and reunite father and child.
(01:34):
So, you two have your backstage passes, you head into the backstage area. The room that
you're in right now is just kind of a, just kind of a storage area. You see, like,
maybe a few people, like, walking around carrying boxes. You know, they got lights and marquees
all around, but it doesn't seem like much importance going on here right now. They're
(01:55):
just kind of storing stuff that would be on the floor. To your right, you can see door mark
security that appears to be locked. And in the center of this room, you can also see a
big, wider door that leads further on in, which also appears to be locked.
I want, like, Felicia to just turn over to, like, Ozzy and be like,
Well, darling, you're the detective. You figure it out.
(02:17):
I'm not a keysmith. He goes to see if it's just unlocked.
All right, you try the door and it does not open. You see a keypad next to it.
Hey, kid, you got any keys on you?
I'm gonna do a quick flip to see if Carley has any keys on her. No, she does not.
(02:37):
Every time we take 10 steps forward, it's 13 steps back.
I'm gonna look around to see if I can notice if there's literally anything else he can do
instead of backtracking, because my goodness gracious, does Ozzy not want to backtrack anymore.
I have my own animation pocket. I can reach in to grab a key, but instead I was like,
(02:58):
Nah, I'm gonna go see how the ostrich handles this.
Well, I don't know that's a thing.
If there's gonna be a breaking and entering charge, I want it to be on him.
I want it to be on the person with legal authority.
Well, I don't know if he has all that now.
Now, implied former.
Legal is the dubious word there.
It's a word.
Yeah. Ozzy, if you do want to look around for anything important,
(03:18):
that'll be Wit and Investigation.
All right, so that's going to be eight cards. Let's go.
One, great. Two, three. I love this already. Four, five, six, seven, eight.
So, I have the Queen of Hearts. Oh, fun. Another success and a Joker.
I knew it.
(03:39):
Joker was the first card I picked.
Lovely, lovely, lovely. So three successes all told and a Joker.
Yep.
Cool. Ozzy, you do some investigating trying to find stuff, but you are not very discreet
about it. Just imagine kind of what happened if an actual ostrich got loose in a backstage
area where things are kind of loosely around.
(04:01):
It's very bull in a china shop.
Reminds me of the fucking John Mulaney horse in a hospital bit.
Yes, it is very much exactly that.
So much so that some people do stop to look at you like,
hey, what the hell are you doing?
I just keep doing what I'm doing.
I'm not stopping.
Well, Ozzy, in the middle of your little chaotic search, you do manage to find a
(04:22):
sticky note that was left behind on a table that seems to be a four-digit combination.
And you figure, hmm, that might work for the door we want to get into.
But as you pick that up, some people are walking over towards you and they look like
it looks like they're going to try and get you to leave.
Do they mean business?
Oh, they mean hecka business.
Ozzy's going to look back and he's going to show his backstage VIP badge,
(04:46):
nod at the detective and be like, we're allowed back here.
I think just because you are being a little bit hectic, I think you need to do
either charm or presence and persuasion to try and like diffuse the situation.
All right.We're doing presence and persuasion then, because I have no charm.
One, two, three, four, five.
(05:10):
One success.
Excellent.
Oh, and I also forgot.
One of your ultimates, Wolf, is when you use a practice or a mastery skill
for the first time in a session, you get plus one to it.
Technically, we should have done that last roll, but you can do that this time
because you do have a practice in persuasion.
I do?
Yeah.Why not?
Let's do that.
Why not?
It's another success.
(05:30):
Let's go.
So how many, all told?
Two.
Just a quick flip to see if they...
Oh, well, they did a quick counter flip to see if they're like intimidated by you.
No successes and a Joker for them.
So they're just kind of like, oh, yeah, okay.
Carry on.
You guys with security?
Yeah.
He maybe.
Darling, he may be, but I'm the main attraction.
(05:52):
They're like, oh, yeah, you're Felicia Fox.
That I am.
Ozzy, your demeanor should have given them a warning of sign of like,
this person should be escorted from the premises immediately.
Instead, they feel like you have actual authority to be back here
and to be like in command of something.
Gosh darn right I do.
That's kind of the vibe that you elicited from them
(06:14):
by virtue of succeeding at your persuasion and then Jokering to take it in.
Okay.
So if you wanted to get even more information out of them,
they do seem to be pretty susceptible right now to talking to you.
Oh, okay.
Would Ozzy ask about the Terminator or ask about any of the...
The Terminator?
I mean the Juggernaut.
Oh, I love the Terminator.
(06:36):
Yeah, like anyway, I was wondering,
you heard about the old Juggernaut, right?
Oh, yeah, he was here a little while ago.
I haven't seen him in a while, but he was back here.
Where'd he go?
I think he went into that room over there.
He turns to the big doors that are still currently locked.
Y'all got the key for that one?
I don't think they gave it to us.
(06:58):
Sorry, no one else is allowed in there except the head of security.
I don't think I asked that question.
I said, do you have the key to get in?
No, I don't, mister. I'm sorry.
All right, can I try something?
Yeah.
Now darlings, I need to talk to him real quick
about a crossover possibility.
(07:20):
You wouldn't happen to know someone who could help us get in, would you?
Felicia, I think that's going to be charm persuasion.
How about lying?
Because I don't actually want to crossover with it.
That's true.
All right, so charm.
I do have points in lying.
Charm and lying.
That's five cards.
That's fair.
Two jacks, the queen of clubs, and two failures.
Sweet.
So you're trying to like get more information out of them, I guess?
(07:43):
Or like try and find like who would have access?
It's either A, they know something they're not telling us,
or B, they know someone who can help us and they're not telling us.
Right.
So I'm using their love as fans to basically to our advantage.
Sure, sure.
Well, I don't have the key on me, but I think if I ask my boss Roland,
(08:05):
he might be able to get you guys in.
Charmed.Could you please do that for me real quick, darling?
Yeah, sure thing.
If you just give me a sec to call him up.
He takes out his walkie-talkie and buzzes his boss on the phone.
You have a free minute if you want to try that digit you got
on the first locked door you came across.
(08:26):
Yeah, we're going to find out.
Ozzy, you head to the door marked security.
You try that four digit combination you got on the keypad and it works.
You are able to enter in and take a quick look around.
And I'm sure that this person you were just talking to sees you do that,
but I think at this point, he fully believes that you either,
you're either with security or you have authority to be back there.
(08:46):
And plus you were able to unlock the door.
So obviously you belong in there because you persuaded the hell out of this person.
Let's go.
This is just sort of a small little security booth.
It's sort of the stereotypical camera feed sit up across the entire convention hall.
You can see just kind of the conventions going along as expected.
I think the one thing that catches your attention is that the main stage
(09:08):
where you just wear with the cosplay contest is currently being like swept up
by some janitors because of the ruckus that just happened.
But people are starting to kind of walk by and be like,
everything's back to normal there.
It should be.
There are some terminals in front of you that are currently on
and it looks like they need additional hacking to get any information out of them.
(09:31):
Hey kid, are you good with computers?
Not really, but I can give it a shot.
Good luck, kid.
All right.
Carley, who I'm going to assume has been riding on your back
because that's just kind of her default mode of transportation right now, I guess.
Hops off, sits down at the computer.
Let's see what she does.
She got one success, which I don't think is enough.
If anyone does want to boost that for Carley,
(09:53):
I think that's got to be wit and computers.
Yeah, like I could help him that.
Yeah, Felicia is definitely not her strong suit.
She's going to be sitting on the back of like a computer swivel chair with her laws.
Cartoon cigarette holder.
I'll help out with some wit.
All right.
So that's going to be four cards then.
(10:13):
Love it.
Not a single success.
Cool.
Ozzy, you peck the keyboard a bit, putting in some inputs,
and you're like, I have no idea what I'm doing.
It's like in the Henry Stickmin Collection,
Charles tries hacking the satellite.
It's like, yeah, I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know what I'm doing.
It's basically that.
I think between you and Carley's one total success,
(10:35):
you do not hack into this terminal.
You have incorrectly inputted the password too many times.
You are locked out for some time.
I tried.
You hear a knock on the security door
and it's the guy you were just talking to who's like,
hey, so Roland says that no one under any circumstances
is allowed back in the warehouse right now.
So I'm sorry.
I don't think I can help you get in.
(10:56):
Am I in the room with them?
And did they enter the room they were just breaking into or?
Or are they just sort of like are behind you now, just being like,
You're not supposed to be in here.
No, they don't say anything like that,
but you took the opportunity while he was calling his boss
to check out the other room, the first one you saw.
Oh, please, darling.
There's nothing you could do to help a girl out?
(11:18):
I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't have the key
and the only one who can give it to you
is says that no one's allowed back there.
So don't think I can help you there.
And did you tell them who specifically sent you?
Oh, I did.
And he seemed really upset to learn
that it was you two actually, weirdly enough.
He's going to look at the kid and then look at Felicia.
And he's like, what did you two do?
(11:38):
Do I look like some dumb Dora to you?
I've done nothing.
I'm just looking to make a little bit more dough.
He said something about that fox and ostrich duo
who caused all sorts of trouble at the cosplay contest.
That's a kid not an ostrich.
Look, I didn't do anything.
That was all him.
Now I'm here.
I want to talk to this Juggernaut.
And that is it.
(11:58):
There's no way inside the rest of the warehouse
except for like going through the front door.
That's the only way I know how.
All right, let's see if I can do this.
Oh, boy.
Ozzy's going to like cock back and he's just like,
all right, everybody move out the way.
So you head out of the little security room.
You head towards the other bigger door.
I'm running full force.
(12:19):
Okay, so you're ramming it.
I am ramming it 100%.
That is going to be Brawn and Melee to bust open this door.
Great.
I have only Brawn.
Let's go.
Oh, but I have the club.
Yeah, sure.
I'll let you use that.
Yeah, I'm going to swing the club.
One, two.
I got two successes.
(12:40):
That is much more than I was anticipating.
All right, I'll do a quick flip for the door.
Ozzy, you've managed to dent the front of the door,
but it doesn't seem to be any more or less open.
Yeah, I tried.
Uh, Carley's going to be like,
hey, maybe I can do it.
I'm strong.
I'm a big girl.
I can do it.
She is made of rock.
(13:00):
It's possible.
I think Carley's going to try and do the exact same thing you did, Ozzy.
She's learning from her new parents and got two successes,
one of which is the Queen of Hearts.
Carley just does a sort of like Scooby-Doo style run in place
and runs headlong into the door, bursting it open,
and then skids to a halt.
(13:20):
And Carley's like, ta-da.
There's two things that have gone through Ozzy's head when this happened.
One, he's like, that was badass.
And two, now he's like, shoot.
Killing your dad's going to be hard.
Felicia's jaw just like drops to the floor.
Oh, he didn't say that.
He's thinking it though.
Oh, okay.
(13:41):
He's not going to say it.
I sure hope that when we all are done with this
and we're all alive at the end of this,
we can all go out for ice cream, Carley says.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Oh, boy.
Ozzy, take five emotional damage.
This is unblockable emotional damage, by the way.
Yeah, it's fine.
He's just, I needed that ticket.
(14:02):
Anyway, all right.
Well, with everyone's conscience in full order,
you can head into this big room.
This is the, like, shipping and receiving part of the building,
so it is like a small warehouse
where you can see extra chairs and tables
that this convention doesn't necessarily need.
Rows upon rows of it.
Not like Home Depot or Ikea big,
(14:23):
but just that kind of style cramped down into one space.
You can't see anybody of note right now,
but you do sort of hear some activity
towards the other side of the room.
I'm going to go see what's going on.
I think just because this is an area
where you weren't necessarily supposed to get into,
even though this is backstage,
I think to get around,
you are going to have to do a sneaking roll.
(14:44):
Intelligence and sneaking.
And this is for everybody.
Everybody has to do this.
Okay, great.
I need to draw intelligence and sneaking, you said?
Yep.
Okay, well, I'm not intelligent since one card.
Weird flex, but okay.
No sneaking, so I can't draw anything for that.
And I'm healthy, so I can draw one more card.
I got one success in the form of a jack.
(15:05):
Carley also got one success.
I also got one success.
All right, the three of you are adequately sneaky.
You do manage to kind of shuffle along
one of the rows of boxes.
Looks to be on the other side of the room,
there's an elevator,
but you can't quite see if the path to it is clear or not.
You don't see anything else of note
from where you're standing right now.
(15:26):
Okay, so there's nothing.
There's nothing that you can see,
but you don't have the best vantage point.
Hey Felicia, can you turn to like,
I don't know, like anything?
And what do you mean by that, darling?
I don't know, can you like shape-shift
into like say a butterfly or something weird and fly around?
I'll have you know, not every toon can do that.
I was not designed to be a shape-shifter.
(15:48):
I was designed to take a beating
and go on fun adventures.
I am not that kind of toon.
You fight?
Yes.
Oh, cool.
I enjoy a good scrap of you now and then.
You'll see if now is one of those times.
You know, like kind of nudge Felicia
to like kind of go forward to look around.
Are you trying to get me chilled off, you stupid bird?
(16:09):
What did you call me?
You heard me.
Nobody calls me a bird.
And he like immediately like sits up and just walks out.
Where, where are you going?
He's just-
He's, he's, he's leaving him.
He's going the other way.
Giving up on the job because I called him a bird.
(16:36):
But to clarify, are you,
you're not walking back the way you came, right?
Or are you?
Oh, he is.
Oh.
Ozzy, you storm out.
I can't.
He makes such a general rationalization of my character,
gets insulted back.
And then it's like, that was too far.
(16:58):
Ozzy is a very fragile character, it seems.
We could tell.
Yeah, he's very emotional.
He's a very soft dick.
Dick is short for detective.
I am, I am aware.
Okay.
Better hope you didn't say that.
Ozzy's already feeling pretty bad.
Yeah, his emotions are gone right now.
(17:22):
Ozzy, a little like storm cloud appears above your head as you huff off.
Carley looks up at you, Felicia, and he's like,
what'd you say that for?
That was mean.
He was racist to me.
Besides, we don't need him.
She does like that other cracking her fingers thing.
I can get through this no problem.
(17:43):
Uh, Carley's like, I hate it when mom and dad are fighting.
That's what we're going to find your dad.
Okay.
Still like looking back at Ozzy, who I assume is not looking back at them
because he's too angry.
All right.
I just want to walk straight forward.
Helpless abandon if there's any actual traps or thing.
(18:03):
Just walk straight into it.
All right.
Felicia, you walk forward through the warehouse.
When out of the blue, you hear some heavy machinery turning on.
You look to your right and you see coming at you
a forklift.
Oh no, I'm not certified!
Like we're talking like fast enough
(18:24):
like it's supposed to be attacking me or just in passing.
Yeah.No, no, no.
It is heading towards you.
It looks like you have been spotted by somebody.
Can I just sort of like squish down to like a pancake
as they just go over me?
Sure.
I think that'll be agility and I don't know.
Athletics?
Maybe athletics.
Yeah.Agility and athletics.
(18:45):
Okay.
I also do love though that you yelled at Ozzy for saying,
hey, I don't shape-shift and you are immediately shape-shifting.
He wanted me to transform into like a bee or something.
He wanted me to change my entire entity.
I'm just sort of shape-
Okay, I'm not changing my entire identity.
I'm just sort of squishy.
(19:07):
Yeah.You don't want to change your face.
It's a very famous face.
Yeah.
I may cross dress and wear costumes,
but I do not go that far.
Yeah.
You got an image to protect.
Yes.
Also, I have three successes.
Okay.
So this person charged at you with the forklift
and you just sort of instinctively just shrink down
into a little puddle as he gets closer.
(19:27):
I'm going to say that he does quote unquote run over you,
by which I mean you are unharmed,
but he goes over your shrunken body.
You pop back up to regular size
and the person on the forklift looks back
and he was like, hey, you weren't supposed to dodge my attack.
What's the big idea with that?
This guy stops his forklift, puts it in reverse
(19:50):
and it's coming at you again, Felicia,
but you can hear beep, beep, beep.
It's a forklift, so it's not,
it won't actually get up to speed to do anything.
Most he'll just like aggressively push me.
I assume that would get Ozzy's attention.
Yeah.
Like to hear the forklift
and am I able to see the forklift?
(20:11):
Not from where you are,
but Carley does come running back to you and it's like,
Ozzy, Ozzy, they're going to kill her with a forklift.
Those animals, I'll kill them first.
Damn.
First the corn dogs and now this.
Ozzy, your mind cast back to the Forklift Murderer.
The Forklift Murderer who's also brother to the corndat, gosh.
(20:33):
Yeah, the Corn Dog Snatcher and the Forklift Murderer.
I can also imagine the forklift one.
That one got me to where I am today, never again.
They tried to kill me with a forklift.
Wanna know how I got these scars?
You have two giant forklift scars in your body.
(20:54):
They thought I was a pallet.
Little did they know I was the forklift.
You say that and Carley's like, what does that mean?
As Ozzy, you head in the direction of the forklift.
Oh yeah, as soon as he says that, yeah, he's on it.
You head further into the warehouse.
The forklift is very slowly reversing towards Felicia.
(21:17):
Again, slowly in reverse.
At three miles an hour.
You know what, since it's in reverse,
I have to imagine it probably can't go at its max speed.
So it's less of a dangerous situation now, but you know.
At this point, I'm just gonna walk to the side just out of the way
and lean up against some boxes just stare at the driver.
(21:38):
Sure.
I think that's going to be another agility athletics.
I'm going to say plus one because it's not going as fast.
So you have like a bit of a bit more.
Plus three plus one more.
One success, two success, and then you said some plus one.
Yep.Do I draw another card?
Is that just like plus one success by default?
(21:59):
Draw one more card.
Oh, okay.
That was a failure.
Two successes.
All right.
You know, you know that cartoon thing
where you do the stretchy stuff like and then immediately warp.
Yeah.As the forklift driver is like, cut that out.
That's not right.
I supposed to kill you with this or something.
Try again, you big palooka.
(22:21):
Ozzy, you arrive in time to see Felicia narrowly dodge this harrowing moment.
Now that I see him within sight, I want to immediately get over dramatic.
Just sort of twirl around to a dust cloud.
Now like tied up with a rope.
Help me, help me, please help me.
If you do want to do that towards Ozzy,
(22:42):
I think that is going to be a deception roll.
Which would be at least two for lying.
Yeah.Charm or presence and lying.
Three for charm, two for lying, one because I'm healthy.
And I have one success.
I got an ace.
All right.
Ozzy, what is your intelligence?
Four.
(23:02):
Oh, your intelligence is four.
Yeah, Felicia is trying to tell you that she's in very much danger,
but she is very clearly not.
Ozzy's looking at this and he's just going to shake his head and just like,
oh, he's playing around with the forklift
until it's too late.
And then he's going to like duck his head down.
And like, you know how like you hear like ducks little web feet like smack on
(23:28):
flooring, like tile flooring.
Pretty much that's what Ozzy's doing now.
He's just running full force.
You just hear that going straight for the guy who doesn't know how to drive this forklift.
So you're like running at him to do anything else or just sort of be like, you know, chasing him.
I'm, I'm trying to knock him out and take control of this forklift.
(23:49):
So I'm just running and swinging my- actually, wait.
I'm running and I want to turn it off using my telekinesis.
I want to turn the key off or put it in park, put it in park.
I think that'll be wit and telekinesis.
All right.
Yeah.That's right, I keep forgetting that I have telekinesis.
Even I did.
It's good to have, like a little bit of telekinesis goes a long way.
(24:12):
Same with telepathy, which you also have.
Yeah, but I don't want to talk to anybody.
You're upset.
So I got, I got five successes on that.
God damn.
One out of the six cards was a fail here.
You channel your rage and your anger.
(24:34):
That's been building up with you through this entire journey and channel it as telekinetic energy.
You sharpen your mind.
You imagine the key in the forklift turning off the forklift.
You are also able to launch it out of the ignition.
Hold it up in front of the forklift driver who's sort of looking like, huh?
And then you like, would you like to attack him with the key telekinetically?
(24:56):
Oh, no, I want it.
I want it towards me.
Okay, you jerk the key back towards you.
You now have the key to the forklift.
He bites it down and now he has it like in his mouth.
All right.
This guy's going to be like, hey, hold on.
Like he's just sort of like processing what just happened.
Like sort of like scratching his head.
Like, how do you do that from over there?
(25:18):
So when he says that, I was going to say, oh, I mean, I could show you.
You just need to stand over here.
Where is over here?
Where are you trying to get up the stand?
He's going to stop and he's going to say, oh, you need to stand over here.
Switch spots.
All right.So you want him to be where you are and you're going to like
exchange positions now that you have the key.
Yes.
Okay.
That's going to be presence and lying too.
(25:42):
Great.
Yeah.
I'm a pretty good liar.
You are a very good liar.
Yeah.
No successes and a Joker.
Wee.
You have the anti-Joker.
You can stop this.
You know what?
As my apology for calling you a bird,
I'll use the anti-Joker.
All right.So, but no successes.
(26:04):
No successes.
Hey, me no need to stand there.
I don't know why this guy is like rapidly losing intelligence,
but me no need to stand there to hear you talk.
You talking now.
Talk.
Oh, uh, what are you even doing on that thing?
Me been told to kill interlopers.
Not sure what word means, but me assume that mean you.
(26:24):
Oh, no, we're security.
You can even ask.
Well, they're in the other room,
but you can even ask them that we're security.
Why you no look like security.
You need undercover security.
Okay.
That's another lying flip.
Presence and lying.
I'll also give you plus one
because you do have a standard issue con security club.
(26:46):
Okay.
Well, that didn't do anything,
but I got two successes.
Maybe you telling truth,
but if you security, why you no wearing security outfit?
Darling, do you think they make outfits that fit wings like that?
Ozzy, you stretch out and show your very impressive wingspan,
(27:07):
at which point you also reveal your forklift scars
and the guy's like, hey, you got attacked by forklift too.
What- as well? You're not alone!
He lifts up his shirt and reveals his own forklift scars.
Look, now my question is, are they identical to mine?
Well, they're spaced out about the same.
(27:27):
And I imagine that, you know,
like in most forklift-related accidents,
you probably got hurt in your front.
So no, no, no, no, no, no.
He, Ozzy would know the specific method
that was used for these forklift murders
because they weren't just done free willy-nilly.
There was always, there was always a pattern.
Well, you can, I think with your intelligence
and also just, you know, your history.
(27:49):
This person was not like targeted by the Forklift Murderer.
It just seems like it was a freak accident.
The scars do not seem consistent with the victims of that case.
It just seems like this guy is really clumsy
and/or just not looking out.
Ah, you, you know the pain too.
We forklift scar brothers.
Not quite, but we're on the same journey.
(28:10):
Me been seeing support group,
but me no know if continue meetings.
They don't do shit.
Anyway, now that we, you know, know that we're cool.
Where's the Juggernaut?
Oh, you want to see Juggernaut?
He downstairs.
You take elevator, go down.
Cool, thanks.
We're, which elevator is working again?
This guy points you towards the elevator that you saw
(28:33):
as you correct your neck around the first time.
It's like that elevator goes down to lower levels.
I be careful though.
I think there fight going on.
Welcome back rhino security guard from the last campaign.
Gosh.
Yeah, you know, gosh.
I am bringing back that NPC
whose name was Grimbus Grankshaft.
This is Grimbus Grankshaft 2.0
(28:55):
but nobody listening to this except for us three
knows who that is.
I miss Grimbus, but here's the thing.
Whereas Wilbur wanted to be everyone's friend,
you know, like, oh, we have something to bond over.
Let's be friends.
Let's, you know, I don't even care
if I'm accidentally mind controlling you.
Let's go.
Ozzy's like, cool, leave.
Cool. Get out of my life.
Oh, you mind if we take that thing?
(29:17):
You know, it might come in handy down there against,
you know, I have to move some stuff around,
especially with the-
How are you going to take a forklift with you?
Oh, you put it on the elevator.
Is it a big enough elevator
that a forklift can go down on or-
No, this is an elevator for people.
Figured I could ask.
Well, I mean, you do have the key.
So I think this guy would be pretty ballsy to him
(29:39):
to just be like, no, give me the key back at this point.
So I think he'll say yes,
but you know that you can't take that forklift down with you.
I'm going to try.
Okay.
He's going to bring it over to-
Wait, wait, wait.
Is Ozzy forklift certified?
Of course he is.
Flip.
We got to flip to see if it's true.
Yeah. Ozzy, flip one card for forklift certification.
(30:03):
For one? Okay.
Yeah, just one card.
All right.
This is a binary thing, yes or no.
Please be a success.
All right.
You suck.
It was a 10.
No, you-
You know what?
With a 10, you tried to get forklift certification and you failed.
You can drive a forklift fine, but you failed the written exam.
(30:24):
So they're not going to let me use it?
I mean, he'll let you use it.
This was just a flip to see if you were certified for it or not.
This is world building.
Nothing is stopping you from driving this forklift.
It's just that if OSHA comes by, they might yell at you a bit.
So he's going to put it by the elevator.
Although facing the other way so they can hop on and get on it.
Because he wants to use it as a getaway car if need be.
(30:47):
Okay.
That's still going to be wit and piloting
to successfully navigate this forklift into position.
Good thing.
Wait, piloting?
I have piloting, right?
You do.
I do.
I got two successes.
You step in and Felicia, while you and Carley just sort of
take a little time to look around for anything useful,
Ozzy's just navigating the forklift through the warehouse.
(31:07):
You don't do it of any style,
but you do manage to successfully park it in.
You do remember some of your forklift knowledge from back in the day.
All right, we good to go?
Carley is ready to go.
She's like, yeah, I hope you find my dad down there.
Ready when you are.
All right, you all step into the elevator
and this new Grimbus is like, bye-bye, friends.
(31:28):
And the elevator door shuts on him.
New Grimbus was never seen again.
Just waiting for their credit scroll to follow up at the end of this campaignCool.
Anyway.
and then we get like some epilogue for Grimbus.
It's just him like doing like laundry at home later
and he's just like, I made new friends today.
He has an inexplicable framed photo of you two.
(31:52):
No, he's just like still thinking, like.
He's like, wait a minute.
They do make ostrich shaped security uniforms.
All right, well, the elevator takes you down underneath the convention hall
and the door opens up into a hallway
where, you're not sure how far down you went,
but you can hear now the roar of a crowd.
(32:13):
Hey, kid, does this sound familiar to you?
No, I've never been to this place before
and I mean, it sounds like one of my dad's matches
but I don't remember doing anything here.
Hey, Felicia.
Never mind.
And he just starts to walk off.
Well, fine, screw you too.
They start filing her nails.
(32:34):
Well, after that fun and not awkward moment,
you walk into the hallway.
It looks pretty dimly lit like dim moody atmospheric lighting.
They're probably doing some weird fight thing down here.
Ozzy, you are aware, just with your intelligence,
you are aware that there are numerous underground fighting rings across the universe.
(32:55):
You've probably investigated a few yourself in your time
as a detective and private investigator
but you're hearing telltale signs of like a crowd cheering people on
so you get the feeling that this is one of those situations.
The sounds are coming from a door on your right
and there also appears to be a door on your left
but you don't hear anything coming in there.
I vote the left door.
All right, ladies first.
(33:16):
I'm just gonna walk straight through the door, I guess.
Okay, well this door is also locked.
So I just walk right into it and just splat.
This is like, almost looks like a jail door
with like a old iron rusted lock that requires a key.
So this means we need a physical key.
I would like to reach into my animation pocket
and see if I can grab a key that would fit.
(33:38):
Sure, that would be wit and either sneaking or spacewise.
Okay, so I'll be able to draw like two cards then
because I have nothing in sneaking or spacewise or wit.
Well, it's a 50-50.
I got an ace of spade and a five of hearts.
I'm gonna say one success is not enough to pull out the right key.
(33:59):
You pull out a piano key.
Butterfingers.
Carley is sort of like, wow, you can just do that even not on TV?
Of course I can, darling.
You can put out a key whenever.
Of course.
Well, if I can find it.
Is that including the key for upstairs that was rummaging around for?
Maybe.
(34:20):
All right.
He just gives up.
Yeah, Ozzy in his head is like,
that's another drink I'm gonna have to do.
He's now like counting down like,
okay, I need a drink about that.
I need a drink for that.
I need to forget all of this.
Yeah, Ozzy's gonna get liquored up to hell and back
when he is done with this mission.
Oh, yeah.
That hasn't even technically begun yet.
That's true.
You're still in the investigation part of it.
(34:42):
To figure out who left me this note,
and now I have to kill this person's dad
just so I can figure out the actual investigation I need to do.
That's true.
And that was an obstacle of your own making, technically.
It wasn't my making.
I just accepted it.
Does this door look like the one that she was able to ram through?
No.
That one up there was more like...
(35:03):
Actually, I kind of had it in my head
that it was more like a corrugated metal like sliding door,
almost like a garage.
But that doesn't kind of really work when you burst it open.
Yeah, just imagine those upstairs were like thick double doors.
And this is just like a padlock.
Okay, then it's the only way forward, correct?
That you can see, at least in this part of the hallway, yes.
(35:24):
I'm just gonna investigate and look around
to see if I can see if there's anything else around.
All right, intelligence investigate.
It's gonna be a lot, surely.
That's nine cards.
Yeah.
That is four successes and one is the Queen of Hearts.
Damn.
So five successes.
Ozzy, first off, you hear something
coming from the room on the left, which you tried to get in.
(35:45):
You can hear some people sobbing,
and inside you can hear somebody
getting thwacked in the head or something.
You recognize the sound of like something hitting a body,
and you hear a muffled behind the door,
quiet down.
Like any window or vision thing I can look through to peep on inside?
Yeah, you know what, Ozzy?
I'm gonna say that you also find like a ventilation shaft
(36:08):
on the left side of this hallway
that you deduce might also lead into the room to your left.
I'm gonna relay this information and be like,
so what do you think's a good idea to do?
I say rush them.
Let's get the job on them.
I like the sound of that.
And then he's gonna say ladies first.
(36:29):
I wanna run like at the door so fast
I just sort of run straight through it.
Oh, cartoon style.
Whole me-shaped hole, right, that leaves behind.
All right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brawn and athletics.
Four plus four, so still healthy, that's one.
Should be failure.
Three for brawn, right?
No, that's four, we maxed out my brawn.
(36:50):
We made her into a complete brawler.
I have three for brawn.
And what's your total health, nine?
Yeah.Oh, I remember what it was.
One of your ultimates is you get plus one brawn,
but that should have been erased
at the beginning of this session.
But if you'd like to keep the plus one brawn for this one, then.
Yeah, might as well.
All right, then yes, four and four.
So I got three successes.
(37:12):
Okay.
Five failures and a Joker.
Excellente.
I don't think it's excellent.
Well, Felicia, you charge into this door
and you punch a Felicia sized hole right in the middle of it,
which maybe Carley can fit through,
but Ozzy, you can't fit through that.
And Felicia, on the other side of this door,
(37:33):
you immediately run into somebody and you both fall over.
And the guy you knock over is like, oh God, what the fuck?
And Felicia, you see that although it is knocked down now,
that person had a gun.
Oh no, a gun?
How does Felicia feel about guns?
She doesn't care.
She's like a 1920s, 1930s, 40s girl.
(37:55):
She's been like a mafia style cartoon adventure.
So there's definitely been episodes where she's just straight up
using a Tommy gun or being shot at by one.
To her idea, that's what guns are.
Right.But you do find that strange considering the security above you,
even the guy with the forklift did not have guns on them.
As you get up and try and like dust yourself off on the floor,
this guy is like, holy shit, uh, intruders.
(38:17):
And, uh, he takes out a walkie-talkie like,
yeah, calling up, I need backup at the left prison wing right now.
Prison? Prison here?
Felicia, you do, uh, you are inside the room,
so you can see inside this room, there are makeshift cells
and you can see some people huddled in them.
But that's all you can see before this guy
holds his gun up at you, Felicia, and says, freeze.
(38:39):
Can she just respond by like forming an ice cube around her?
I don't.
Okay.
'Cause- sure.
I think, all right, what the fuck do we do for turn into ice cube?
(38:59):
Charm, survival.
Does that make sense?
Charm is three.
I have nothing in survival.
One, cause I'm healthy.
I have a king of hearts and three failures.
Can we say that's enough, please?
Uh, yeah, you know what?
You just sort of like lightly turn your skin a little blue.
This guy does not seem amused at all.
(39:21):
But we're cartoon characters, we're supposed to make people laugh.
This guy has no humor.
It's Eddie from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the beginning before he changed.
Yeah, but like, if like he never went through his character journey and became evil,
but also that's, but also that's like Ozzy, so.
I'm not evil.
Oh God, no, Ozzy being kind of a douche right now,
(39:42):
being part of the cartoon character is just Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
That's true.
Oh my gosh, hold on.
That's true.
I honestly though was, if Felicia was not able to get out of the way of the forklift,
you would have been run over like Judge Doom and just spring back up.
Oh my gosh.
So yeah, this is just Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but in space.
When I killed you brother, I sound just-
(40:03):
I can't do the voice.
Remember me, Ozzy?
When I killed your partner, I sounded just like this.
Gosh.
God damn.
See Ozzy, if you brought your dip gun, then it would have been no problem.
I don't know how to respond to that.
What do you mean my dip gun?
If you had-
Oh that, oh gosh, dip.
(40:23):
Okay.
Yeah, it's dip!
Ozzy, you have distinct memories of a toon shoe being murdered in front of you
by being dipped in the dip.
This now all implies that I potentially had like a super sexy girlfriend.
Congrats.
You know, we did create a female love interest for my character.
That's true.
It was like a bunny.
(40:44):
Yeah, and I think-
Let's make her into now like a Playboy bunny style, like looking kind of character.
Yeah, I think-
She's still like Bonnie, Bonnie-
Bonnie Bunny or something.
Yeah.Just still named that, but now she's just like a human with like bunny ears
and then like fishnet stockings and such.
Gotcha.
I figured that she would have gone down like the dolled up
Playboy bunny style anyway, but just an actual bunny.
(41:06):
But I like the-
Well, I mean, because I remember we've created the other,
we've created her male love interest who was like,
fuck, I can't remember his name.
We had a fun name for him.
I had it, I have it written down here somewhere.
Okay, so it was Betty bunny.
And I have Lynx Floyd.
Is that right?
Yeah, Floyd.
Lynx Floyd.
I forgot about Lynx Floyd.
(41:26):
Lynx Floyd is like, you know, generic cartoon character.
Betty is just like complete sexy woman.
I'm not bad.
I'm just drawn that way.
And Lynx is like, ah, I'm here too.
It literally is the Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit dynamic,
except it's a throuple with you.
Floyd is very much greaser, wannabe mafia kind of energy.
(41:49):
He's got like that swagger and like pizzazz.
Yeah.
Oh Lord.
Enough world building.
Anyway, back in the present,
someone's holding the gun at you, Felicia.
You froze a little bit.
They do not seem impressed one way or the other.
Ozzy, you can't exactly get into the room right now
because the Felicia hole is a little too-
I shouldn't put it like that.
(42:10):
Because the hole in the door is too small for you.
But you might be able to try and reach your neck in
and try and like unlock it from the other side.
Wait, you know what?
Wait, why would you be able to do that?
Why would you be able to unlock a prison door
from the inside?
That doesn't make sense.
The only thing-
You can reach your neck in.
I'll tell you that.
I was going to say that or like use my telekinesis
(42:31):
to get the keys if need be.
Sure.
If I can't like unlock from that way.
Yeah, whichever way you want to go.
You know, I'll try to use my neck.
All right.
That seems funny.
To poke your head in,
I think that's going to be agility and melee.
Great.
Which I know you have lots of points in.
I have neither.
I have one agility and one melee.
(42:51):
Do I still get the plus one melee
if I'm not using the club?
No, you have to use the item to get the bonus.
No, I'm just using my beak.
Screw it.
It's funnier that way.
I got one success.
Let's go.
It's the only card I got.
Ozzy, you poke your head in like,
hey, I'm here.
You can now see into the room.
Felicia is being held up at gunpoint.
I think from this vantage point,
I don't know if you're going to be able to
(43:11):
still get the door open,
but you're like,
your head is in the room at least.
Okay.
I think this guy is going to be like,
all right, you two.
I don't know how you guys got down here,
but if you surrender to me right now,
we'll be a-okay.
Why would we do that?
This guy just does not respond to that.
This does not seem like a
persuadable person at the moment.
(43:31):
So I don't know if you're going to be able
to get any information out of it.
I'm not persuading.
I'm just asking him a question.
I'm going to look at him.
He's telling us to surrender,
and I'm asking why.
And he's not going to tell you.
He's asking us to surrender.
Yeah, that's the offer on the table.
Surrender or, well, he's got a gun, so.
Yeah, I'm going to be like,
hey, hey, look,
(43:52):
we're just trying to bring
the Juggernaut's daughter to her dad.
Like she got lost and stuff,
and we just want to bring her back.
Like, look,we're just trying to do a good deed.
I can even show you my credentials if need be,
but I obviously kind of can't,
because then he's going to like,
you know, I was going to say
he's going to shrug your shoulders,
but like you can't see him
(44:12):
shrug your shoulders.
That's true.He's got a, he's a bird.
Yeah.
So you want to see the Juggernaut, huh?
I think that can be arranged.
Ozzy, behind you,
you hear more guards running up towards you,
and Felicia,
this guy in the prison with you
still got his gun trained directly on you,
and sort of like walks forward a bit
and sort of like nudges you,
(44:33):
Felicia, to get into the corner.
I don't know what to do.
I mean, do I stick my head back out?
Ozzy's just going to put his feathers up.
All right, so Ozzy is surrendering.
Okay, he's surrendering.
I mean, like his head's through a hole
with the rest of his body's on the back.
All right.My character's frozen.
That's true.
You never unfroze.
That's fair.
All right.
All right.
(44:54):
She unfroze for like a second
to ask the question,
then went right back to her previous state.
People are like,
oh, okay.
Ozzy, you feel a stun gun going to your back.
Does it go off?
Yes, you are tased,
and you fall unconscious.
Felicia, this guy in front of you
knocks you in the head with his gun.
You fall unconscious.
(45:15):
And the last thing you hear
before you fade out of consciousness completely
is Carley's screams.
And that is where we'll end this episode
of Live Laugh Loot.
(45:41):
Let's go.
We surprisingly didn't enter the combat this time.
No, we almost did.
Almost.
You were in tense situations for sure,
and I guess you kind of were in pseudo-combat
with the forklift guy.
Let's put a lot of quotes on that one.
It was not an exciting fight,
but it was like you were adversaries
(46:02):
in that encounter,
if we want to put it that way.
Gosh.
Now, I'm just kind of amazed now
that like as I'm sitting back,
I'm like, wow,
this really is just freaking Roger Rabbit.
Man, the convention staff
must be really mad right now
that one of their stars kind of just walked off.
Yeah, quick star wipe to the convention.
(46:22):
You see somebody like,
has anybody seen Felicia Fox?
She's supposed to be here.
The Q&A that she was supposed to be at?
Yeah, like you just see every other,
all the other characters from your show
are at the Felicia Fox Q&A,
but you're missing.
And some nerd's like,
in episode 12B,
why did Felicia transform into a spider
to scare the giant space elephant
(46:43):
when everybody knows
that space elephants are afraid of space mice?
That's clearly bad writing,
and I hope somebody was fired for that blunder.
Gosh.
I don't like that this got too serious.
This got too real.
And Felicia, all your co-stars,
I don't know if you would call them co-stars,
(47:03):
or just cast-mates.
It's simultaneously co-stars and cast-mates.
Yeah.
There's Floyd and Betty
who are her actual real life partners
who are reflected as such in their show,
but then there's like
the police officer antagonist
who's very much just a chill co-worker
and is only the antagonist in context of the show.
(47:24):
Yeah. Officer Melvin Meeks,
that's his name.
Yeah.
Yeah, but they,
and maybe like one or two other
regular supporting characters-
Recurring side characters
we didn't create yet.
Yeah, are just
not even really fielding the questions well,
they're just sort of stammering like,
uh, well you see,
because they're all like-
None of them are writers,
they're just actors.
Yes, but also
(47:44):
they're all very worried about you
because you haven't shown up.
Sort of implies I sort of just walked off,
didn't say goodbye to either of my partners
and just sort of left them.
That's, yeah.
I mean, at least you didn't watch
every single friend you ever have die.
Poor Wilbur.
Like literally everything,
every one, oh my gosh,
(48:04):
wait, yeah, that is true.
Because Ikol just sort of disappeared from reality.
Ikol disappeared.
Mizool died in front of him.
Twice technically.
Twice, yeah, twice technically.
Wilbur's best friend.
Yeah, Wilbur Jr.
Nick Dastard, the cop that you were,
that was following you around
and was like your best bro.
He was the first.
And he died, he died horrifically.
(48:26):
He got Aliens chest-bursted.
Yeah.
By a cheese monster.
None of this is going to like
make sense to anybody, but.
Yeah, but that is, gosh, Wilbur,
Wilbur, Wilbur had a wacky world.
Did I just accidentally make a Freddy,
hold on, hold on,
did I just make Jojo in this world?
Yeah, I was about to say,
Wilbur's Bizarre Adventure.
(48:47):
Yes, that is exactly what,
that is exactly what we did.
I accidentally made Wilbur's wacky.
Wilbur used the power of his stand.
Oh my God, I just,
Wilbur, oh my God,
Wilbur's Jo, oh my God.
Wilbur's a Jojo.
Oh my Lord.
Is it Joseph Joestar or a Josuke?
He's Jo, oh gosh, he's Jotaro.
Well, I think he puts up the front of being a-
(49:07):
I'm sorry, you're taking this
happy-go-lucky character
and comparing him to Jotaro?
Actually, you're right, he's Joseph.
Well, I think he puts up the front
of being a Josuke,
but on the inside,
he's got the Jotaro angst.
I wouldn't say he really has the angst.
I'd say it's more so,
he's more Josuke,
but he has more of the Jotaro storyline.
We're like, oh wow,
(49:28):
everything's awful.
Yeah.
And he doesn't swear.
Yeah, yes, that's true.
Outwardly, he's very confident.
Or he calls mom a bitch.
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
If you called your mom a bitch in front of Wilbur,
he would literally,
that might just.
He would take you to the time-out corner
and then proceed to tell you you're
not allowed to play the arcade games anymore.
Yes.
Anyway, time to talk about
what I liked about this session.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
(49:49):
You can set your Hero Points to one
because you both get a Hero Point from me
because this was a very fun session.
And you two are really cool.
I think I'm going to say that every time
as it's my default.
You get Hero Points from me
because you're cool.
And yeah, Ozzy,
why was Felicia your hero today?
(50:11):
The freaking Roger Rabbit thing,
immediately I was like,
oh, I love everything about this.
I was even thinking the whole,
I didn't even realize
that's what I was thinking of at first.
I'm like, oh, this reminds me of something.
What does it remind me of?
And whenever you're sinking down,
it's like the forklift goes over you.
I'm like, I know this.
I know this for something.
It connected.
I like this.
And then my childhood said,
(50:31):
hi, I love you.
And I said, hey, childhood,
I probably shouldn't have watched this
when I was a kid.
Oh, definitely not.
I should not have watched Who Framed-
But yes, that moment specifically,
I was like, this is good.
So Felicia, Hero Point to you
because Roger Rabbit.
Yeah, and Felicia,
what's something Ozzy did today
that was heroic or cool or fun
or that you want to reward?
(50:51):
I wanna reward his dedication
to his character
and just how he's presenting them
because he's very much this cold hearted
like son of a bitch
and I kind of love that.
Even the point where he sort of
generalizes what kind of
what I'm capable of just by my existence
and somehow gets offended
after- borderline offended.
I love that little aspect
(51:12):
of what he's doing here.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's great.
It's, obviously if you were
actually like that, that'd be bad.
But playing as that character,
it's just it works so well.
And it is a very nice contrast to Wilbur.
Oh, yeah, he is.
He says what he thinks.
He's abrasive,
but also at the same time,
he's very emotional,
but he's not going to yell
(51:33):
unless you're the, you know,
the one that got away.
You got the Forklift Murderer though.
Okay.
Oh, so do I have
the anti-Joker next, by the way?
Yes, we should.
Yeah.
So for those of you listening
to this podcast,
once per session,
one player can,
(51:54):
if a Joker pops up,
they can do the anti-Joker,
which is just that Joker gets negated,
which you saw when,
when did that happen?
This session pretty early on.
It was he got nothing
but failures and a Joker.
He was just like,
and he was just saying like,
you could stop this.
You could stop this.
Yeah.
Oh gosh.
(52:14):
Yeah, it was something bad.
Anyway, that's just that mechanic,
which we didn't do the first time
because we kind of forgot
to give it to somebody.
Yeah, we did.
Yeah.

Previously on Live Laugh Loot, Detective Ozzy the Ostrich and cartoon star Felicia Fox continue
their investigation into the disappearance of the Juggernaut, learning that he's backstage
at the Entertain-a-Thon. But to get back there, they had to participate in a cosplay
(00:48):
contest for backstage passes. After a bit of blundering around, they signed up and hastily
assembled their costumes and got ready to strut their stuff, which, to put it mildly,
failed miserably. And with the errant stench of corn dogs in the air,
Ozzy went into a frenzy and jumped into the crowd, beating back security in the process.
With the lead security guard acquiescing and handing them passes,
(01:10):
they're off to the backstage area to find the Juggernaut and reunite father and child.
(01:34):
So, you two have your backstage passes, you head into the backstage area. The room that
you're in right now is just kind of a, just kind of a storage area. You see, like,
maybe a few people, like, walking around carrying boxes. You know, they got lights and marquees
all around, but it doesn't seem like much importance going on here right now. They're
(01:55):
just kind of storing stuff that would be on the floor. To your right, you can see door mark
security that appears to be locked. And in the center of this room, you can also see a
big, wider door that leads further on in, which also appears to be locked.
I want, like, Felicia to just turn over to, like, Ozzy and be like,
Well, darling, you're the detective. You figure it out.
(02:17):
I'm not a keysmith. He goes to see if it's just unlocked.
All right, you try the door and it does not open. You see a keypad next to it.
Hey, kid, you got any keys on you?
I'm gonna do a quick flip to see if Carley has any keys on her. No, she does not.
(02:37):
Every time we take 10 steps forward, it's 13 steps back.
I'm gonna look around to see if I can notice if there's literally anything else he can do
instead of backtracking, because my goodness gracious, does Ozzy not want to backtrack anymore.
I have my own animation pocket. I can reach in to grab a key, but instead I was like,
(02:58):
Nah, I'm gonna go see how the ostrich handles this.
Well, I don't know that's a thing.
If there's gonna be a breaking and entering charge, I want it to be on him.
I want it to be on the person with legal authority.
Well, I don't know if he has all that now.
Now, implied former.
Legal is the dubious word there.
It's a word.
Yeah. Ozzy, if you do want to look around for anything important,
(03:18):
that'll be Wit and Investigation.
All right, so that's going to be eight cards. Let's go.
One, great. Two, three. I love this already. Four, five, six, seven, eight.
So, I have the Queen of Hearts. Oh, fun. Another success and a Joker.
I knew it.
(03:39):
Joker was the first card I picked.
Lovely, lovely, lovely. So three successes all told and a Joker.
Yep.
Cool. Ozzy, you do some investigating trying to find stuff, but you are not very discreet
about it. Just imagine kind of what happened if an actual ostrich got loose in a backstage
area where things are kind of loosely around.
(04:01):
It's very bull in a china shop.
Reminds me of the fucking John Mulaney horse in a hospital bit.
Yes, it is very much exactly that.
So much so that some people do stop to look at you like,
hey, what the hell are you doing?
I just keep doing what I'm doing.
I'm not stopping.
Well, Ozzy, in the middle of your little chaotic search, you do manage to find a
(04:22):
sticky note that was left behind on a table that seems to be a four-digit combination.
And you figure, hmm, that might work for the door we want to get into.
But as you pick that up, some people are walking over towards you and they look like
it looks like they're going to try and get you to leave.
Do they mean business?
Oh, they mean hecka business.
Ozzy's going to look back and he's going to show his backstage VIP badge,
(04:46):
nod at the detective and be like, we're allowed back here.
I think just because you are being a little bit hectic, I think you need to do
either charm or presence and persuasion to try and like diffuse the situation.
All right.We're doing presence and persuasion then, because I have no charm.
One, two, three, four, five.
(05:10):
One success.
Excellent.
Oh, and I also forgot.
One of your ultimates, Wolf, is when you use a practice or a mastery skill
for the first time in a session, you get plus one to it.
Technically, we should have done that last roll, but you can do that this time
because you do have a practice in persuasion.
I do?
Yeah.Why not?
Let's do that.
Why not?
It's another success.
(05:30):
Let's go.
So how many, all told?
Two.
Just a quick flip to see if they...
Oh, well, they did a quick counter flip to see if they're like intimidated by you.
No successes and a Joker for them.
So they're just kind of like, oh, yeah, okay.
Carry on.
You guys with security?
Yeah.
He maybe.
Darling, he may be, but I'm the main attraction.
(05:52):
They're like, oh, yeah, you're Felicia Fox.
That I am.
Ozzy, your demeanor should have given them a warning of sign of like,
this person should be escorted from the premises immediately.
Instead, they feel like you have actual authority to be back here
and to be like in command of something.
Gosh darn right I do.
That's kind of the vibe that you elicited from them
(06:14):
by virtue of succeeding at your persuasion and then Jokering to take it in.
Okay.
So if you wanted to get even more information out of them,
they do seem to be pretty susceptible right now to talking to you.
Oh, okay.
Would Ozzy ask about the Terminator or ask about any of the...
The Terminator?
I mean the Juggernaut.
Oh, I love the Terminator.
(06:36):
Yeah, like anyway, I was wondering,
you heard about the old Juggernaut, right?
Oh, yeah, he was here a little while ago.
I haven't seen him in a while, but he was back here.
Where'd he go?
I think he went into that room over there.
He turns to the big doors that are still currently locked.
Y'all got the key for that one?
I don't think they gave it to us.
(06:58):
Sorry, no one else is allowed in there except the head of security.
I don't think I asked that question.
I said, do you have the key to get in?
No, I don't, mister. I'm sorry.
All right, can I try something?
Yeah.
Now darlings, I need to talk to him real quick
about a crossover possibility.
(07:20):
You wouldn't happen to know someone who could help us get in, would you?
Felicia, I think that's going to be charm persuasion.
How about lying?
Because I don't actually want to crossover with it.
That's true.
All right, so charm.
I do have points in lying.
Charm and lying.
That's five cards.
That's fair.
Two jacks, the queen of clubs, and two failures.
Sweet.
So you're trying to like get more information out of them, I guess?
(07:43):
Or like try and find like who would have access?
It's either A, they know something they're not telling us,
or B, they know someone who can help us and they're not telling us.
Right.
So I'm using their love as fans to basically to our advantage.
Sure, sure.
Well, I don't have the key on me, but I think if I ask my boss Roland,
(08:05):
he might be able to get you guys in.
Charmed.Could you please do that for me real quick, darling?
Yeah, sure thing.
If you just give me a sec to call him up.
He takes out his walkie-talkie and buzzes his boss on the phone.
You have a free minute if you want to try that digit you got
on the first locked door you came across.
(08:26):
Yeah, we're going to find out.
Ozzy, you head to the door marked security.
You try that four digit combination you got on the keypad and it works.
You are able to enter in and take a quick look around.
And I'm sure that this person you were just talking to sees you do that,
but I think at this point, he fully believes that you either,
you're either with security or you have authority to be back there.
(08:46):
And plus you were able to unlock the door.
So obviously you belong in there because you persuaded the hell out of this person.
Let's go.
This is just sort of a small little security booth.
It's sort of the stereotypical camera feed sit up across the entire convention hall.
You can see just kind of the conventions going along as expected.
I think the one thing that catches your attention is that the main stage
(09:08):
where you just wear with the cosplay contest is currently being like swept up
by some janitors because of the ruckus that just happened.
But people are starting to kind of walk by and be like,
everything's back to normal there.
It should be.
There are some terminals in front of you that are currently on
and it looks like they need additional hacking to get any information out of them.
(09:31):
Hey kid, are you good with computers?
Not really, but I can give it a shot.
Good luck, kid.
All right.
Carley, who I'm going to assume has been riding on your back
because that's just kind of her default mode of transportation right now, I guess.
Hops off, sits down at the computer.
Let's see what she does.
She got one success, which I don't think is enough.
If anyone does want to boost that for Carley,
(09:53):
I think that's got to be wit and computers.
Yeah, like I could help him that.
Yeah, Felicia is definitely not her strong suit.
She's going to be sitting on the back of like a computer swivel chair with her laws.
Cartoon cigarette holder.
I'll help out with some wit.
All right.
So that's going to be four cards then.
(10:13):
Love it.
Not a single success.
Cool.
Ozzy, you peck the keyboard a bit, putting in some inputs,
and you're like, I have no idea what I'm doing.
It's like in the Henry Stickmin Collection,
Charles tries hacking the satellite.
It's like, yeah, I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know what I'm doing.
It's basically that.
I think between you and Carley's one total success,
(10:35):
you do not hack into this terminal.
You have incorrectly inputted the password too many times.
You are locked out for some time.
I tried.
You hear a knock on the security door
and it's the guy you were just talking to who's like,
hey, so Roland says that no one under any circumstances
is allowed back in the warehouse right now.
So I'm sorry.
I don't think I can help you get in.
(10:56):
Am I in the room with them?
And did they enter the room they were just breaking into or?
Or are they just sort of like are behind you now, just being like,
You're not supposed to be in here.
No, they don't say anything like that,
but you took the opportunity while he was calling his boss
to check out the other room, the first one you saw.
Oh, please, darling.
There's nothing you could do to help a girl out?
(11:18):
I'm sorry, ma'am, but I don't have the key
and the only one who can give it to you
is says that no one's allowed back there.
So don't think I can help you there.
And did you tell them who specifically sent you?
Oh, I did.
And he seemed really upset to learn
that it was you two actually, weirdly enough.
He's going to look at the kid and then look at Felicia.
And he's like, what did you two do?
(11:38):
Do I look like some dumb Dora to you?
I've done nothing.
I'm just looking to make a little bit more dough.
He said something about that fox and ostrich duo
who caused all sorts of trouble at the cosplay contest.
That's a kid not an ostrich.
Look, I didn't do anything.
That was all him.
Now I'm here.
I want to talk to this Juggernaut.
And that is it.
(11:58):
There's no way inside the rest of the warehouse
except for like going through the front door.
That's the only way I know how.
All right, let's see if I can do this.
Oh, boy.
Ozzy's going to like cock back and he's just like,
all right, everybody move out the way.
So you head out of the little security room.
You head towards the other bigger door.
I'm running full force.
(12:19):
Okay, so you're ramming it.
I am ramming it 100%.
That is going to be Brawn and Melee to bust open this door.
Great.
I have only Brawn.
Let's go.
Oh, but I have the club.
Yeah, sure.
I'll let you use that.
Yeah, I'm going to swing the club.
One, two.
I got two successes.
(12:40):
That is much more than I was anticipating.
All right, I'll do a quick flip for the door.
Ozzy, you've managed to dent the front of the door,
but it doesn't seem to be any more or less open.
Yeah, I tried.
Uh, Carley's going to be like,
hey, maybe I can do it.
I'm strong.
I'm a big girl.
I can do it.
She is made of rock.
(13:00):
It's possible.
I think Carley's going to try and do the exact same thing you did, Ozzy.
She's learning from her new parents and got two successes,
one of which is the Queen of Hearts.
Carley just does a sort of like Scooby-Doo style run in place
and runs headlong into the door, bursting it open,
and then skids to a halt.
(13:20):
And Carley's like, ta-da.
There's two things that have gone through Ozzy's head when this happened.
One, he's like, that was badass.
And two, now he's like, shoot.
Killing your dad's going to be hard.
Felicia's jaw just like drops to the floor.
Oh, he didn't say that.
He's thinking it though.
Oh, okay.
(13:41):
He's not going to say it.
I sure hope that when we all are done with this
and we're all alive at the end of this,
we can all go out for ice cream, Carley says.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Oh, boy.
Ozzy, take five emotional damage.
This is unblockable emotional damage, by the way.
Yeah, it's fine.
He's just, I needed that ticket.
(14:02):
Anyway, all right.
Well, with everyone's conscience in full order,
you can head into this big room.
This is the, like, shipping and receiving part of the building,
so it is like a small warehouse
where you can see extra chairs and tables
that this convention doesn't necessarily need.
Rows upon rows of it.
Not like Home Depot or Ikea big,
(14:23):
but just that kind of style cramped down into one space.
You can't see anybody of note right now,
but you do sort of hear some activity
towards the other side of the room.
I'm going to go see what's going on.
I think just because this is an area
where you weren't necessarily supposed to get into,
even though this is backstage,
I think to get around,
you are going to have to do a sneaking roll.
(14:44):
Intelligence and sneaking.
And this is for everybody.
Everybody has to do this.
Okay, great.
I need to draw intelligence and sneaking, you said?
Yep.
Okay, well, I'm not intelligent since one card.
Weird flex, but okay.
No sneaking, so I can't draw anything for that.
And I'm healthy, so I can draw one more card.
I got one success in the form of a jack.
(15:05):
Carley also got one success.
I also got one success.
All right, the three of you are adequately sneaky.
You do manage to kind of shuffle along
one of the rows of boxes.
Looks to be on the other side of the room,
there's an elevator,
but you can't quite see if the path to it is clear or not.
You don't see anything else of note
from where you're standing right now.
(15:26):
Okay, so there's nothing.
There's nothing that you can see,
but you don't have the best vantage point.
Hey Felicia, can you turn to like,
I don't know, like anything?
And what do you mean by that, darling?
I don't know, can you like shape-shift
into like say a butterfly or something weird and fly around?
I'll have you know, not every toon can do that.
I was not designed to be a shape-shifter.
(15:48):
I was designed to take a beating
and go on fun adventures.
I am not that kind of toon.
You fight?
Yes.
Oh, cool.
I enjoy a good scrap of you now and then.
You'll see if now is one of those times.
You know, like kind of nudge Felicia
to like kind of go forward to look around.
Are you trying to get me chilled off, you stupid bird?
(16:09):
What did you call me?
You heard me.
Nobody calls me a bird.
And he like immediately like sits up and just walks out.
Where, where are you going?
He's just-
He's, he's, he's leaving him.
He's going the other way.
Giving up on the job because I called him a bird.
(16:36):
But to clarify, are you,
you're not walking back the way you came, right?
Or are you?
Oh, he is.
Oh.
Ozzy, you storm out.
I can't.
He makes such a general rationalization of my character,
gets insulted back.
And then it's like, that was too far.
(16:58):
Ozzy is a very fragile character, it seems.
We could tell.
Yeah, he's very emotional.
He's a very soft dick.
Dick is short for detective.
I am, I am aware.
Okay.
Better hope you didn't say that.
Ozzy's already feeling pretty bad.
Yeah, his emotions are gone right now.
(17:22):
Ozzy, a little like storm cloud appears above your head as you huff off.
Carley looks up at you, Felicia, and he's like,
what'd you say that for?
That was mean.
He was racist to me.
Besides, we don't need him.
She does like that other cracking her fingers thing.
I can get through this no problem.
(17:43):
Uh, Carley's like, I hate it when mom and dad are fighting.
That's what we're going to find your dad.
Okay.
Still like looking back at Ozzy, who I assume is not looking back at them
because he's too angry.
All right.
I just want to walk straight forward.
Helpless abandon if there's any actual traps or thing.
(18:03):
Just walk straight into it.
All right.
Felicia, you walk forward through the warehouse.
When out of the blue, you hear some heavy machinery turning on.
You look to your right and you see coming at you
a forklift.
Oh no, I'm not certified!
Like we're talking like fast enough
(18:24):
like it's supposed to be attacking me or just in passing.
Yeah.No, no, no.
It is heading towards you.
It looks like you have been spotted by somebody.
Can I just sort of like squish down to like a pancake
as they just go over me?
Sure.
I think that'll be agility and I don't know.
Athletics?
Maybe athletics.
Yeah.Agility and athletics.
(18:45):
Okay.
I also do love though that you yelled at Ozzy for saying,
hey, I don't shape-shift and you are immediately shape-shifting.
He wanted me to transform into like a bee or something.
He wanted me to change my entire entity.
I'm just sort of shape-
Okay, I'm not changing my entire identity.
I'm just sort of squishy.
(19:07):
Yeah.You don't want to change your face.
It's a very famous face.
Yeah.
I may cross dress and wear costumes,
but I do not go that far.
Yeah.
You got an image to protect.
Yes.
Also, I have three successes.
Okay.
So this person charged at you with the forklift
and you just sort of instinctively just shrink down
into a little puddle as he gets closer.
(19:27):
I'm going to say that he does quote unquote run over you,
by which I mean you are unharmed,
but he goes over your shrunken body.
You pop back up to regular size
and the person on the forklift looks back
and he was like, hey, you weren't supposed to dodge my attack.
What's the big idea with that?
This guy stops his forklift, puts it in reverse
(19:50):
and it's coming at you again, Felicia,
but you can hear beep, beep, beep.
It's a forklift, so it's not,
it won't actually get up to speed to do anything.
Most he'll just like aggressively push me.
I assume that would get Ozzy's attention.
Yeah.
Like to hear the forklift
and am I able to see the forklift?
(20:11):
Not from where you are,
but Carley does come running back to you and it's like,
Ozzy, Ozzy, they're going to kill her with a forklift.
Those animals, I'll kill them first.
Damn.
First the corn dogs and now this.
Ozzy, your mind cast back to the Forklift Murderer.
The Forklift Murderer who's also brother to the corndat, gosh.
(20:33):
Yeah, the Corn Dog Snatcher and the Forklift Murderer.
I can also imagine the forklift one.
That one got me to where I am today, never again.
They tried to kill me with a forklift.
Wanna know how I got these scars?
You have two giant forklift scars in your body.
(20:54):
They thought I was a pallet.
Little did they know I was the forklift.
You say that and Carley's like, what does that mean?
As Ozzy, you head in the direction of the forklift.
Oh yeah, as soon as he says that, yeah, he's on it.
You head further into the warehouse.
The forklift is very slowly reversing towards Felicia.
(21:17):
Again, slowly in reverse.
At three miles an hour.
You know what, since it's in reverse,
I have to imagine it probably can't go at its max speed.
So it's less of a dangerous situation now, but you know.
At this point, I'm just gonna walk to the side just out of the way
and lean up against some boxes just stare at the driver.
(21:38):
Sure.
I think that's going to be another agility athletics.
I'm going to say plus one because it's not going as fast.
So you have like a bit of a bit more.
Plus three plus one more.
One success, two success, and then you said some plus one.
Yep.Do I draw another card?
Is that just like plus one success by default?
(21:59):
Draw one more card.
Oh, okay.
That was a failure.
Two successes.
All right.
You know, you know that cartoon thing
where you do the stretchy stuff like and then immediately warp.
Yeah.As the forklift driver is like, cut that out.
That's not right.
I supposed to kill you with this or something.
Try again, you big palooka.
(22:21):
Ozzy, you arrive in time to see Felicia narrowly dodge this harrowing moment.
Now that I see him within sight, I want to immediately get over dramatic.
Just sort of twirl around to a dust cloud.
Now like tied up with a rope.
Help me, help me, please help me.
If you do want to do that towards Ozzy,
(22:42):
I think that is going to be a deception roll.
Which would be at least two for lying.
Yeah.Charm or presence and lying.
Three for charm, two for lying, one because I'm healthy.
And I have one success.
I got an ace.
All right.
Ozzy, what is your intelligence?
Four.
(23:02):
Oh, your intelligence is four.
Yeah, Felicia is trying to tell you that she's in very much danger,
but she is very clearly not.
Ozzy's looking at this and he's just going to shake his head and just like,
oh, he's playing around with the forklift
until it's too late.
And then he's going to like duck his head down.
And like, you know how like you hear like ducks little web feet like smack on
(23:28):
flooring, like tile flooring.
Pretty much that's what Ozzy's doing now.
He's just running full force.
You just hear that going straight for the guy who doesn't know how to drive this forklift.
So you're like running at him to do anything else or just sort of be like, you know, chasing him.
I'm, I'm trying to knock him out and take control of this forklift.
(23:49):
So I'm just running and swinging my- actually, wait.
I'm running and I want to turn it off using my telekinesis.
I want to turn the key off or put it in park, put it in park.
I think that'll be wit and telekinesis.
All right.
Yeah.That's right, I keep forgetting that I have telekinesis.
Even I did.
It's good to have, like a little bit of telekinesis goes a long way.
(24:12):
Same with telepathy, which you also have.
Yeah, but I don't want to talk to anybody.
You're upset.
So I got, I got five successes on that.
God damn.
One out of the six cards was a fail here.
You channel your rage and your anger.
(24:34):
That's been building up with you through this entire journey and channel it as telekinetic energy.
You sharpen your mind.
You imagine the key in the forklift turning off the forklift.
You are also able to launch it out of the ignition.
Hold it up in front of the forklift driver who's sort of looking like, huh?
And then you like, would you like to attack him with the key telekinetically?
(24:56):
Oh, no, I want it.
I want it towards me.
Okay, you jerk the key back towards you.
You now have the key to the forklift.
He bites it down and now he has it like in his mouth.
All right.
This guy's going to be like, hey, hold on.
Like he's just sort of like processing what just happened.
Like sort of like scratching his head.
Like, how do you do that from over there?
(25:18):
So when he says that, I was going to say, oh, I mean, I could show you.
You just need to stand over here.
Where is over here?
Where are you trying to get up the stand?
He's going to stop and he's going to say, oh, you need to stand over here.
Switch spots.
All right.So you want him to be where you are and you're going to like
exchange positions now that you have the key.
Yes.
Okay.
That's going to be presence and lying too.
(25:42):
Great.
Yeah.
I'm a pretty good liar.
You are a very good liar.
Yeah.
No successes and a Joker.
Wee.
You have the anti-Joker.
You can stop this.
You know what?
As my apology for calling you a bird,
I'll use the anti-Joker.
All right.So, but no successes.
(26:04):
No successes.
Hey, me no need to stand there.
I don't know why this guy is like rapidly losing intelligence,
but me no need to stand there to hear you talk.
You talking now.
Talk.
Oh, uh, what are you even doing on that thing?
Me been told to kill interlopers.
Not sure what word means, but me assume that mean you.
(26:24):
Oh, no, we're security.
You can even ask.
Well, they're in the other room,
but you can even ask them that we're security.
Why you no look like security.
You need undercover security.
Okay.
That's another lying flip.
Presence and lying.
I'll also give you plus one
because you do have a standard issue con security club.
(26:46):
Okay.
Well, that didn't do anything,
but I got two successes.
Maybe you telling truth,
but if you security, why you no wearing security outfit?
Darling, do you think they make outfits that fit wings like that?
Ozzy, you stretch out and show your very impressive wingspan,
(27:07):
at which point you also reveal your forklift scars
and the guy's like, hey, you got attacked by forklift too.
What- as well? You're not alone!
He lifts up his shirt and reveals his own forklift scars.
Look, now my question is, are they identical to mine?
Well, they're spaced out about the same.
(27:27):
And I imagine that, you know,
like in most forklift-related accidents,
you probably got hurt in your front.
So no, no, no, no, no, no.
He, Ozzy would know the specific method
that was used for these forklift murders
because they weren't just done free willy-nilly.
There was always, there was always a pattern.
Well, you can, I think with your intelligence
and also just, you know, your history.
(27:49):
This person was not like targeted by the Forklift Murderer.
It just seems like it was a freak accident.
The scars do not seem consistent with the victims of that case.
It just seems like this guy is really clumsy
and/or just not looking out.
Ah, you, you know the pain too.
We forklift scar brothers.
Not quite, but we're on the same journey.
(28:10):
Me been seeing support group,
but me no know if continue meetings.
They don't do shit.
Anyway, now that we, you know, know that we're cool.
Where's the Juggernaut?
Oh, you want to see Juggernaut?
He downstairs.
You take elevator, go down.
Cool, thanks.
We're, which elevator is working again?
This guy points you towards the elevator that you saw
(28:33):
as you correct your neck around the first time.
It's like that elevator goes down to lower levels.
I be careful though.
I think there fight going on.
Welcome back rhino security guard from the last campaign.
Gosh.
Yeah, you know, gosh.
I am bringing back that NPC
whose name was Grimbus Grankshaft.
This is Grimbus Grankshaft 2.0
(28:55):
but nobody listening to this except for us three
knows who that is.
I miss Grimbus, but here's the thing.
Whereas Wilbur wanted to be everyone's friend,
you know, like, oh, we have something to bond over.
Let's be friends.
Let's, you know, I don't even care
if I'm accidentally mind controlling you.
Let's go.
Ozzy's like, cool, leave.
Cool. Get out of my life.
Oh, you mind if we take that thing?
(29:17):
You know, it might come in handy down there against,
you know, I have to move some stuff around,
especially with the-
How are you going to take a forklift with you?
Oh, you put it on the elevator.
Is it a big enough elevator
that a forklift can go down on or-
No, this is an elevator for people.
Figured I could ask.
Well, I mean, you do have the key.
So I think this guy would be pretty ballsy to him
(29:39):
to just be like, no, give me the key back at this point.
So I think he'll say yes,
but you know that you can't take that forklift down with you.
I'm going to try.
Okay.
He's going to bring it over to-
Wait, wait, wait.
Is Ozzy forklift certified?
Of course he is.
Flip.
We got to flip to see if it's true.
Yeah. Ozzy, flip one card for forklift certification.
(30:03):
For one? Okay.
Yeah, just one card.
All right.
This is a binary thing, yes or no.
Please be a success.
All right.
You suck.
It was a 10.
No, you-
You know what?
With a 10, you tried to get forklift certification and you failed.
You can drive a forklift fine, but you failed the written exam.
(30:24):
So they're not going to let me use it?
I mean, he'll let you use it.
This was just a flip to see if you were certified for it or not.
This is world building.
Nothing is stopping you from driving this forklift.
It's just that if OSHA comes by, they might yell at you a bit.
So he's going to put it by the elevator.
Although facing the other way so they can hop on and get on it.
Because he wants to use it as a getaway car if need be.
(30:47):
Okay.
That's still going to be wit and piloting
to successfully navigate this forklift into position.
Good thing.
Wait, piloting?
I have piloting, right?
You do.
I do.
I got two successes.
You step in and Felicia, while you and Carley just sort of
take a little time to look around for anything useful,
Ozzy's just navigating the forklift through the warehouse.
(31:07):
You don't do it of any style,
but you do manage to successfully park it in.
You do remember some of your forklift knowledge from back in the day.
All right, we good to go?
Carley is ready to go.
She's like, yeah, I hope you find my dad down there.
Ready when you are.
All right, you all step into the elevator
and this new Grimbus is like, bye-bye, friends.
(31:28):
And the elevator door shuts on him.
New Grimbus was never seen again.
Just waiting for their credit scroll to follow up at the end of this campaignCool.
Anyway.
and then we get like some epilogue for Grimbus.
It's just him like doing like laundry at home later
and he's just like, I made new friends today.
He has an inexplicable framed photo of you two.
(31:52):
No, he's just like still thinking, like.
He's like, wait a minute.
They do make ostrich shaped security uniforms.
All right, well, the elevator takes you down underneath the convention hall
and the door opens up into a hallway
where, you're not sure how far down you went,
but you can hear now the roar of a crowd.
(32:13):
Hey, kid, does this sound familiar to you?
No, I've never been to this place before
and I mean, it sounds like one of my dad's matches
but I don't remember doing anything here.
Hey, Felicia.
Never mind.
And he just starts to walk off.
Well, fine, screw you too.
They start filing her nails.
(32:34):
Well, after that fun and not awkward moment,
you walk into the hallway.
It looks pretty dimly lit like dim moody atmospheric lighting.
They're probably doing some weird fight thing down here.
Ozzy, you are aware, just with your intelligence,
you are aware that there are numerous underground fighting rings across the universe.
(32:55):
You've probably investigated a few yourself in your time
as a detective and private investigator
but you're hearing telltale signs of like a crowd cheering people on
so you get the feeling that this is one of those situations.
The sounds are coming from a door on your right
and there also appears to be a door on your left
but you don't hear anything coming in there.
I vote the left door.
All right, ladies first.
(33:16):
I'm just gonna walk straight through the door, I guess.
Okay, well this door is also locked.
So I just walk right into it and just splat.
This is like, almost looks like a jail door
with like a old iron rusted lock that requires a key.
So this means we need a physical key.
I would like to reach into my animation pocket
and see if I can grab a key that would fit.
(33:38):
Sure, that would be wit and either sneaking or spacewise.
Okay, so I'll be able to draw like two cards then
because I have nothing in sneaking or spacewise or wit.
Well, it's a 50-50.
I got an ace of spade and a five of hearts.
I'm gonna say one success is not enough to pull out the right key.
(33:59):
You pull out a piano key.
Butterfingers.
Carley is sort of like, wow, you can just do that even not on TV?
Of course I can, darling.
You can put out a key whenever.
Of course.
Well, if I can find it.
Is that including the key for upstairs that was rummaging around for?
Maybe.
(34:20):
All right.
He just gives up.
Yeah, Ozzy in his head is like,
that's another drink I'm gonna have to do.
He's now like counting down like,
okay, I need a drink about that.
I need a drink for that.
I need to forget all of this.
Yeah, Ozzy's gonna get liquored up to hell and back
when he is done with this mission.
Oh, yeah.
That hasn't even technically begun yet.
That's true.
You're still in the investigation part of it.
(34:42):
To figure out who left me this note,
and now I have to kill this person's dad
just so I can figure out the actual investigation I need to do.
That's true.
And that was an obstacle of your own making, technically.
It wasn't my making.
I just accepted it.
Does this door look like the one that she was able to ram through?
No.
That one up there was more like...
(35:03):
Actually, I kind of had it in my head
that it was more like a corrugated metal like sliding door,
almost like a garage.
But that doesn't kind of really work when you burst it open.
Yeah, just imagine those upstairs were like thick double doors.
And this is just like a padlock.
Okay, then it's the only way forward, correct?
That you can see, at least in this part of the hallway, yes.
(35:24):
I'm just gonna investigate and look around
to see if I can see if there's anything else around.
All right, intelligence investigate.
It's gonna be a lot, surely.
That's nine cards.
Yeah.
That is four successes and one is the Queen of Hearts.
Damn.
So five successes.
Ozzy, first off, you hear something
coming from the room on the left, which you tried to get in.
(35:45):
You can hear some people sobbing,
and inside you can hear somebody
getting thwacked in the head or something.
You recognize the sound of like something hitting a body,
and you hear a muffled behind the door,
quiet down.
Like any window or vision thing I can look through to peep on inside?
Yeah, you know what, Ozzy?
I'm gonna say that you also find like a ventilation shaft
(36:08):
on the left side of this hallway
that you deduce might also lead into the room to your left.
I'm gonna relay this information and be like,
so what do you think's a good idea to do?
I say rush them.
Let's get the job on them.
I like the sound of that.
And then he's gonna say ladies first.
(36:29):
I wanna run like at the door so fast
I just sort of run straight through it.
Oh, cartoon style.
Whole me-shaped hole, right, that leaves behind.
All right, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Brawn and athletics.
Four plus four, so still healthy, that's one.
Should be failure.
Three for brawn, right?
No, that's four, we maxed out my brawn.
(36:50):
We made her into a complete brawler.
I have three for brawn.
And what's your total health, nine?
Yeah.Oh, I remember what it was.
One of your ultimates is you get plus one brawn,
but that should have been erased
at the beginning of this session.
But if you'd like to keep the plus one brawn for this one, then.
Yeah, might as well.
All right, then yes, four and four.
So I got three successes.
(37:12):
Okay.
Five failures and a Joker.
Excellente.
I don't think it's excellent.
Well, Felicia, you charge into this door
and you punch a Felicia sized hole right in the middle of it,
which maybe Carley can fit through,
but Ozzy, you can't fit through that.
And Felicia, on the other side of this door,
(37:33):
you immediately run into somebody and you both fall over.
And the guy you knock over is like, oh God, what the fuck?
And Felicia, you see that although it is knocked down now,
that person had a gun.
Oh no, a gun?
How does Felicia feel about guns?
She doesn't care.
She's like a 1920s, 1930s, 40s girl.
(37:55):
She's been like a mafia style cartoon adventure.
So there's definitely been episodes where she's just straight up
using a Tommy gun or being shot at by one.
To her idea, that's what guns are.
Right.But you do find that strange considering the security above you,
even the guy with the forklift did not have guns on them.
As you get up and try and like dust yourself off on the floor,
this guy is like, holy shit, uh, intruders.
(38:17):
And, uh, he takes out a walkie-talkie like,
yeah, calling up, I need backup at the left prison wing right now.
Prison? Prison here?
Felicia, you do, uh, you are inside the room,
so you can see inside this room, there are makeshift cells
and you can see some people huddled in them.
But that's all you can see before this guy
holds his gun up at you, Felicia, and says, freeze.
(38:39):
Can she just respond by like forming an ice cube around her?
I don't.
Okay.
'Cause- sure.
I think, all right, what the fuck do we do for turn into ice cube?
(38:59):
Charm, survival.
Does that make sense?
Charm is three.
I have nothing in survival.
One, cause I'm healthy.
I have a king of hearts and three failures.
Can we say that's enough, please?
Uh, yeah, you know what?
You just sort of like lightly turn your skin a little blue.
This guy does not seem amused at all.
(39:21):
But we're cartoon characters, we're supposed to make people laugh.
This guy has no humor.
It's Eddie from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, the beginning before he changed.
Yeah, but like, if like he never went through his character journey and became evil,
but also that's, but also that's like Ozzy, so.
I'm not evil.
Oh God, no, Ozzy being kind of a douche right now,
(39:42):
being part of the cartoon character is just Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
That's true.
Oh my gosh, hold on.
That's true.
I honestly though was, if Felicia was not able to get out of the way of the forklift,
you would have been run over like Judge Doom and just spring back up.
Oh my gosh.
So yeah, this is just Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but in space.
When I killed you brother, I sound just-
(40:03):
I can't do the voice.
Remember me, Ozzy?
When I killed your partner, I sounded just like this.
Gosh.
God damn.
See Ozzy, if you brought your dip gun, then it would have been no problem.
I don't know how to respond to that.
What do you mean my dip gun?
If you had-
Oh that, oh gosh, dip.
(40:23):
Okay.
Yeah, it's dip!
Ozzy, you have distinct memories of a toon shoe being murdered in front of you
by being dipped in the dip.
This now all implies that I potentially had like a super sexy girlfriend.
Congrats.
You know, we did create a female love interest for my character.
That's true.
It was like a bunny.
(40:44):
Yeah, and I think-
Let's make her into now like a Playboy bunny style, like looking kind of character.
Yeah, I think-
She's still like Bonnie, Bonnie-
Bonnie Bunny or something.
Yeah.Just still named that, but now she's just like a human with like bunny ears
and then like fishnet stockings and such.
Gotcha.
I figured that she would have gone down like the dolled up
Playboy bunny style anyway, but just an actual bunny.
(41:06):
But I like the-
Well, I mean, because I remember we've created the other,
we've created her male love interest who was like,
fuck, I can't remember his name.
We had a fun name for him.
I had it, I have it written down here somewhere.
Okay, so it was Betty bunny.
And I have Lynx Floyd.
Is that right?
Yeah, Floyd.
Lynx Floyd.
I forgot about Lynx Floyd.
(41:26):
Lynx Floyd is like, you know, generic cartoon character.
Betty is just like complete sexy woman.
I'm not bad.
I'm just drawn that way.
And Lynx is like, ah, I'm here too.
It literally is the Roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit dynamic,
except it's a throuple with you.
Floyd is very much greaser, wannabe mafia kind of energy.
(41:49):
He's got like that swagger and like pizzazz.
Yeah.
Oh Lord.
Enough world building.
Anyway, back in the present,
someone's holding the gun at you, Felicia.
You froze a little bit.
They do not seem impressed one way or the other.
Ozzy, you can't exactly get into the room right now
because the Felicia hole is a little too-
I shouldn't put it like that.
(42:10):
Because the hole in the door is too small for you.
But you might be able to try and reach your neck in
and try and like unlock it from the other side.
Wait, you know what?
Wait, why would you be able to do that?
Why would you be able to unlock a prison door
from the inside?
That doesn't make sense.
The only thing-
You can reach your neck in.
I'll tell you that.
I was going to say that or like use my telekinesis
(42:31):
to get the keys if need be.
Sure.
If I can't like unlock from that way.
Yeah, whichever way you want to go.
You know, I'll try to use my neck.
All right.
That seems funny.
To poke your head in,
I think that's going to be agility and melee.
Great.
Which I know you have lots of points in.
I have neither.
I have one agility and one melee.
(42:51):
Do I still get the plus one melee
if I'm not using the club?
No, you have to use the item to get the bonus.
No, I'm just using my beak.
Screw it.
It's funnier that way.
I got one success.
Let's go.
It's the only card I got.
Ozzy, you poke your head in like,
hey, I'm here.
You can now see into the room.
Felicia is being held up at gunpoint.
I think from this vantage point,
I don't know if you're going to be able to
(43:11):
still get the door open,
but you're like,
your head is in the room at least.
Okay.
I think this guy is going to be like,
all right, you two.
I don't know how you guys got down here,
but if you surrender to me right now,
we'll be a-okay.
Why would we do that?
This guy just does not respond to that.
This does not seem like a
persuadable person at the moment.
(43:31):
So I don't know if you're going to be able
to get any information out of it.
I'm not persuading.
I'm just asking him a question.
I'm going to look at him.
He's telling us to surrender,
and I'm asking why.
And he's not going to tell you.
He's asking us to surrender.
Yeah, that's the offer on the table.
Surrender or, well, he's got a gun, so.
Yeah, I'm going to be like,
hey, hey, look,
(43:52):
we're just trying to bring
the Juggernaut's daughter to her dad.
Like she got lost and stuff,
and we just want to bring her back.
Like, look,we're just trying to do a good deed.
I can even show you my credentials if need be,
but I obviously kind of can't,
because then he's going to like,
you know, I was going to say
he's going to shrug your shoulders,
but like you can't see him
(44:12):
shrug your shoulders.
That's true.He's got a, he's a bird.
Yeah.
So you want to see the Juggernaut, huh?
I think that can be arranged.
Ozzy, behind you,
you hear more guards running up towards you,
and Felicia,
this guy in the prison with you
still got his gun trained directly on you,
and sort of like walks forward a bit
and sort of like nudges you,
(44:33):
Felicia, to get into the corner.
I don't know what to do.
I mean, do I stick my head back out?
Ozzy's just going to put his feathers up.
All right, so Ozzy is surrendering.
Okay, he's surrendering.
I mean, like his head's through a hole
with the rest of his body's on the back.
All right.My character's frozen.
That's true.
You never unfroze.
That's fair.
All right.
All right.
(44:54):
She unfroze for like a second
to ask the question,
then went right back to her previous state.
People are like,
oh, okay.
Ozzy, you feel a stun gun going to your back.
Does it go off?
Yes, you are tased,
and you fall unconscious.
Felicia, this guy in front of you
knocks you in the head with his gun.
You fall unconscious.
(45:15):
And the last thing you hear
before you fade out of consciousness completely
is Carley's screams.
And that is where we'll end this episode
of Live Laugh Loot.
(45:41):
Let's go.
We surprisingly didn't enter the combat this time.
No, we almost did.
Almost.
You were in tense situations for sure,
and I guess you kind of were in pseudo-combat
with the forklift guy.
Let's put a lot of quotes on that one.
It was not an exciting fight,
but it was like you were adversaries
(46:02):
in that encounter,
if we want to put it that way.
Gosh.
Now, I'm just kind of amazed now
that like as I'm sitting back,
I'm like, wow,
this really is just freaking Roger Rabbit.
Man, the convention staff
must be really mad right now
that one of their stars kind of just walked off.
Yeah, quick star wipe to the convention.
(46:22):
You see somebody like,
has anybody seen Felicia Fox?
She's supposed to be here.
The Q&A that she was supposed to be at?
Yeah, like you just see every other,
all the other characters from your show
are at the Felicia Fox Q&A,
but you're missing.
And some nerd's like,
in episode 12B,
why did Felicia transform into a spider
to scare the giant space elephant
(46:43):
when everybody knows
that space elephants are afraid of space mice?
That's clearly bad writing,
and I hope somebody was fired for that blunder.
Gosh.
I don't like that this got too serious.
This got too real.
And Felicia, all your co-stars,
I don't know if you would call them co-stars,
(47:03):
or just cast-mates.
It's simultaneously co-stars and cast-mates.
Yeah.
There's Floyd and Betty
who are her actual real life partners
who are reflected as such in their show,
but then there's like
the police officer antagonist
who's very much just a chill co-worker
and is only the antagonist in context of the show.
(47:24):
Yeah. Officer Melvin Meeks,
that's his name.
Yeah.
Yeah, but they,
and maybe like one or two other
regular supporting characters-
Recurring side characters
we didn't create yet.
Yeah, are just
not even really fielding the questions well,
they're just sort of stammering like,
uh, well you see,
because they're all like-
None of them are writers,
they're just actors.
Yes, but also
(47:44):
they're all very worried about you
because you haven't shown up.
Sort of implies I sort of just walked off,
didn't say goodbye to either of my partners
and just sort of left them.
That's, yeah.
I mean, at least you didn't watch
every single friend you ever have die.
Poor Wilbur.
Like literally everything,
every one, oh my gosh,
(48:04):
wait, yeah, that is true.
Because Ikol just sort of disappeared from reality.
Ikol disappeared.
Mizool died in front of him.
Twice technically.
Twice, yeah, twice technically.
Wilbur's best friend.
Yeah, Wilbur Jr.
Nick Dastard, the cop that you were,
that was following you around
and was like your best bro.
He was the first.
And he died, he died horrifically.
(48:26):
He got Aliens chest-bursted.
Yeah.
By a cheese monster.
None of this is going to like
make sense to anybody, but.
Yeah, but that is, gosh, Wilbur,
Wilbur, Wilbur had a wacky world.
Did I just accidentally make a Freddy,
hold on, hold on,
did I just make Jojo in this world?
Yeah, I was about to say,
Wilbur's Bizarre Adventure.
(48:47):
Yes, that is exactly what,
that is exactly what we did.
I accidentally made Wilbur's wacky.
Wilbur used the power of his stand.
Oh my God, I just,
Wilbur, oh my God,
Wilbur's Jo, oh my God.
Wilbur's a Jojo.
Oh my Lord.
Is it Joseph Joestar or a Josuke?
He's Jo, oh gosh, he's Jotaro.
Well, I think he puts up the front of being a-
(49:07):
I'm sorry, you're taking this
happy-go-lucky character
and comparing him to Jotaro?
Actually, you're right, he's Joseph.
Well, I think he puts up the front
of being a Josuke,
but on the inside,
he's got the Jotaro angst.
I wouldn't say he really has the angst.
I'd say it's more so,
he's more Josuke,
but he has more of the Jotaro storyline.
We're like, oh wow,
(49:28):
everything's awful.
Yeah.
And he doesn't swear.
Yeah, yes, that's true.
Outwardly, he's very confident.
Or he calls mom a bitch.
Yeah, yeah, no, no.
If you called your mom a bitch in front of Wilbur,
he would literally,
that might just.
He would take you to the time-out corner
and then proceed to tell you you're
not allowed to play the arcade games anymore.
Yes.
Anyway, time to talk about
what I liked about this session.
Yes, yeah, yeah.
(49:49):
You can set your Hero Points to one
because you both get a Hero Point from me
because this was a very fun session.
And you two are really cool.
I think I'm going to say that every time
as it's my default.
You get Hero Points from me
because you're cool.
And yeah, Ozzy,
why was Felicia your hero today?
(50:11):
The freaking Roger Rabbit thing,
immediately I was like,
oh, I love everything about this.
I was even thinking the whole,
I didn't even realize
that's what I was thinking of at first.
I'm like, oh, this reminds me of something.
What does it remind me of?
And whenever you're sinking down,
it's like the forklift goes over you.
I'm like, I know this.
I know this for something.
It connected.
I like this.
And then my childhood said,
(50:31):
hi, I love you.
And I said, hey, childhood,
I probably shouldn't have watched this
when I was a kid.
Oh, definitely not.
I should not have watched Who Framed-
But yes, that moment specifically,
I was like, this is good.
So Felicia, Hero Point to you
because Roger Rabbit.
Yeah, and Felicia,
what's something Ozzy did today
that was heroic or cool or fun
or that you want to reward?
(50:51):
I wanna reward his dedication
to his character
and just how he's presenting them
because he's very much this cold hearted
like son of a bitch
and I kind of love that.
Even the point where he sort of
generalizes what kind of
what I'm capable of just by my existence
and somehow gets offended
after- borderline offended.
I love that little aspect
(51:12):
of what he's doing here.
Yeah. Oh, yeah, it's great.
It's, obviously if you were
actually like that, that'd be bad.
But playing as that character,
it's just it works so well.
And it is a very nice contrast to Wilbur.
Oh, yeah, he is.
He says what he thinks.
He's abrasive,
but also at the same time,
he's very emotional,
but he's not going to yell
(51:33):
unless you're the, you know,
the one that got away.
You got the Forklift Murderer though.
Okay.
Oh, so do I have
the anti-Joker next, by the way?
Yes, we should.
Yeah.
So for those of you listening
to this podcast,
once per session,
one player can,
(51:54):
if a Joker pops up,
they can do the anti-Joker,
which is just that Joker gets negated,
which you saw when,
when did that happen?
This session pretty early on.
It was he got nothing
but failures and a Joker.
He was just like,
and he was just saying like,
you could stop this.
You could stop this.
Yeah.
Oh gosh.
(52:14):
Yeah, it was something bad.
Anyway, that's just that mechanic,
which we didn't do the first time
because we kind of forgot
to give it to somebody.
Yeah, we did.
Yeah.
