(00:00):
Hello there future house whippers and arcane agents, Fanny May here.
You've probably heard of me so it won't bother with too much introduction aside from being
this year's the state enchanter of the year and the hold of the top arcane acreage agent
three years in a row.
But online I'm the top real-time dungeon dealer's realty, or as we like to call it, DDR.

(00:23):
What DDR you might be wondering?
You see that crumbling dusty manner with the suspiciously glowing cellar?
The one with the trees whisper secrets and the gargoyles seem to move on their own?
That's our bread and butter.
At DDR, we don't just sell properties, we sell experiences.
From dangerous dungeons overflowing with goblins to haunted castles with spectral dance parties,
we specialize in properties with a little extra character.

(00:47):
We're not your average real estate firm.
We're problem solvers, negotiators, and frankly, we're the best in the business.
So if you got an act for navigating cursed kitchens, charming grumpy ghosts, or simply
seeing the potential in a property that's actively trying to eat its occupants, then
listen up, because a career at dungeon dealer's realty isn't just a job.
It's an adventure.
And trust me, the commission on a truly dangerous dungeon?

(01:10):
It's to die for.
So get logged into the ethernet and check out our site to submit your application.
We're looking for the best, savviest, and most importantly, bravest salesfolk out there
willing to take on the challenges we at DDR overcome every day.
What are you waiting for?
Sign that scroll and send it our way.

(01:32):
So welcome everybody to a very special one shot for session zero heroes called, well,
it's business wizards is the system, the TTRPG business wizards.
It is created by ninth level games.
It uses their polymorph system and it is created by mess nerd and Watson.
Hopefully I said those right.
But it is a fun little kind of zine style TTRPG.

(01:53):
It's not super rules heavy or anything like that.
It's pretty rules light and it's pretty focused on telling kind of a goofy, hilarious story
where magic meets corporate craziness, you could say.
So hopefully it's a lot of fun.
Hopefully those of you that are listening get a big kick out of it and hopefully you
guys all playing all have a laugh as well.

(02:16):
So jumping into things, let's all introduce ourselves.
Obviously, my name is Skyler.
You guys who are listening probably know all about it.
Help me.
I chatted with Haven the other day for a session zero university episode, which was really
awesome.
So my introduction, I'm usually the semi forever DM over at the session zero heroes.

(02:38):
And yeah, I mean, that's that's basically the just what you need to know about me.
I think everybody's more interested in each of you.
So let's go through.
I'll start from the top of my list of just everybody that I have listed here.
Claire, do you want to introduce yourself?
Me and there.
Hello.
I'm playing Millie.
Mildew hard bottle from source for sanitation takes the jobs very seriously.

(03:02):
She's got a border grey skin.
She's quite tall at seven foot, seven foot two really muscular, rich blonde hair with
dark roots because it's such a pain to get it done all the time.
And she's got lopsided plat because he's got the time to make it look perfect.
She eyebrows, red denim dungarees with a big black tool belt and then always has a nice

(03:23):
fully flirty flowers underneath.
Love it.
I love it.
And her specialty is kind of the sanitation department.
You have some key power words with your character and those are going to be kind of what your
spell is.
All the spells that you cast are going to be centered around.
So do you want to share with us what those what those power words are?
We have to have got gas, gravitas, sounds really nice and hot air.

(03:49):
Awesome.
Fantastic.
It'll be interesting to see what kind of spells you craft with those keywords.
And then on the side, we also each player has a sort of special item or weapon or you
have maybe like a pet or a sort of like a second in command, somebody that helps you
out with things.

(04:09):
This is your edge and this edge is going to be used throughout the game.
Where you roll your sort of the maximum number on your dice or what most people would think
of is like the critical.
You will get to succeed at whatever it is that you're doing and to top it off.
Usually that edge is involved in how it is that you succeed.
So Claire, what edge does Mildew Harbottle have?

(04:30):
It'll be interesting.
She's got a sponge of saturation, which can absorb, can hold in oceans worth of liquid
from one area or spill for up to two hours.
That is absolutely incredible.
And I definitely think that's going to be a very vital piece of the adventure that we're
going to go on today.
Fantastic.
Well, awesome.
That is, I'm excited.

(04:51):
I'll try to refer to everybody as their character names going forward to the best of my abilities.
So Mildew Harbottle, we're excited to have you join.
We'll move over to Andrew.
Feel free to introduce yourself and your character.
Hi.
I'm Andrew.
I'm also a DM over at the sketchy rolls podcast.

(05:16):
And I shall be playing a character called...
These words popping soon.
I'm a little goblin wizard.
I have large, thick rimmed spectacles that I wear above my gorgeous nose.

(05:36):
I work within magical marketing.
I'm an innovator.
I like to think up things to advertise for our specific company, which is DD Realty.
I also have these words of power, which I shall be trying to use within my spells.

(06:01):
Auras is the first word.
Future site, my second and my third stock markets.
Absolutely incredible.
And of course, Fizzword holds a special place in my heart because I actually, uh, outside
of podcasting, I'm also a marketer.
So I'm excited to see how that kind of plays out.

(06:22):
So very exciting.
Um, awesome.
And then what is your sort of edge?
What is the special thing that Fizzword has on hand that, uh, is going to give him that
sort of up in battle or whatever it is, other challenge that kind of comes his way.
Well, I'm, I'm always carrying around my, uh, uh, my little tablet, my magical tablet

(06:46):
that's always at hand.
And I have access to whizipedia.
So I can look up certain things to see, uh, information that might help me.
But, uh, only problem with, uh, whizipedia is it's not always.
Uh, accurate.
Uh, cool.

(07:08):
You never can tell, right?
I might have too much access out there to that whizipedia.
Absolutely.
What, what rotten lot.
Uh, I thought, I thought I'd just mention my name is Fizzword Poppington, but, uh, you
could call me Fizz.
You know, Fizz to my friends is awesome.

(07:28):
Awesome.
All right.
So, I'm Fizzword from the marketing department that's going to be joining you guys on your
quest today.
Uh, you'll need him to, uh, help you with advertising and potentially leading to sales.
And that's very important for a company, obviously.
You got to be able to make those sales.
So next up, I have Haven, uh, if you want to introduce yourself and your, yes, my name

(07:53):
is Haven Joseph Lyon.
I am a, uh, co-owner of the campaign casters podcast as well as one of the co-DMS over
there.
Uh, I will be playing, uh, Hollister.
Most people call me Holly though.
Uh, I'm the cutthroat of the group, whether I, I may seem like it or not.
Um, I'm a satyr.
I, I'm about six foot tall with tall horns and I have this nice flow and white row with

(08:17):
the cyan accents.
Um, and I'm part of the purification and exorcism department also deal with a lot of termination
of clients and, uh, employees.
My, um, my secret edge that I like to bring with me everywhere.
It's my heirloom that was passed down through the ages as I've been a part of this company
and my family's been a part of this company years and years to come.

(08:40):
Um, and I use my, my terminated stamp, which is this little stamp that I press and then
it turns into a big weapon whenever I need to deal with.
I love it.
Yeah. And, uh, what are Holly's, uh, power words?
My words of power are departments as of course I oversee a lot of the departments and making

(09:03):
sure I'm firing people and stuff like that.
Um, and then dreams because I'm always in your dreams even if you don't want me to be
there and, uh, awareness because I need to know where my foes are at all times.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Got to keep an eye on those foes.
Keep them close.
Fantastic.

(09:24):
And awesome.
So, uh, Holly, obviously going to be kind of the intense cutthroat of the group.
Uh, and that actually brings me to something, Jack, I know I'm going to get to you in just
a second.
I did forget to mention, uh, everybody kind of has a, uh, sort of style of employee that
they are at the DDR or dungeon dealers, realty.
Um, Haven or sorry, uh, Hollister is the, the cutthroat, which is the person that's

(09:48):
going to get things done no matter what.
It doesn't matter what it's going to take.
Uh, it could mean firing somebody, as you mentioned before.
Um, but whatever the case, the job is going to get done.
Thanks to the cutthroat with that being said, Claire is our sorry, Mildew.
I see, I got to work on the character names.
It's just good practice beforehand.
Uh, Mildew is playing the Dynamo, which is a person that is absolutely ecstatic to be

(10:13):
here.
Um, Mildew is going to get things done.
Mildew is going to be excited to get things done.
Um, and hopefully, hopefully that positivity is maintained through the course of everything,
although sometimes the job can get quite stressful.
So we'll see how that goes.
And then last, uh, next we have, uh, Fizzword is going to be playing the innovator.

(10:33):
The innovator is the ideas person, the person that's always coming up with new and innovative
ways to get things done.
And finally we'll jump over to Jack.
Jack, give us a rundown on your character and as well as yourself.
Okay.
Hi everyone.
My name is Jack as you fit, I kindly introduced already and I'm usually when I'm not, um,

(10:55):
messing around, uh, with, uh, on the sketchy roles being a player, I am also, uh, tend to
end up a GMing more than, uh, than playing.
Uh, and you can see most of the details of that because I'm normally it's in person
games.
Um, there's a couple of venues around London that I, uh, do some GMing at.
Um, and you can find all the details on my, uh, social media because you know, shameless

(11:16):
plug already, uh, at, uh, Slice and D six.
Um, and, uh, yes today, uh, I'm, uh, be playing, uh, Merle, uh, Merle, uh, dial it in Merle
dial it in, um, from humanoid resources and, um, uh, I, uh, uh, uh, normally I just kind

(11:36):
of offload things to the, the next guy or, you know, or, or, or when it's needed.
If I need an edge, then I will, uh, stick things in my, uh, void filing cabinet and
they'll never be seen again.
So all those complaints that you have, just get them to me and I will file them away somewhere.
Uh, yeah.

(11:56):
That's kind of my, kind of my jam.
Yeah.
I love that.
I love that.
They just disappear.
That's right.
That's what we need.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
So, uh, Merle, what are your words of power?
Uh, so they are, uh, mammals, fey creatures and swag.
Um, just cause normally, uh, you know, a lot of the time I can get the, the, uh, fey and

(12:23):
other animals to do things.
And sometimes, you know, you gotta break things down to basics and, you know, we're all mammals
at the end of the day.
Uh, you know, so it's, it's just, just taking things down to a simplistic level and then,
you know, delegating to other things, which is kind of my, my strength really.
Uh, so I'm in the, uh, so, so I guess I'll have character.

(12:43):
I've got the, the manager, um, uh, role, which is absolutely necessary.
And I think it fits so well with the humanoid resources department as well as, as you mentioned
before, you're, you're delegating to other people, getting them to do all the work while
you sit in kind of the, the higher corporate chair of managerial, uh, status.

(13:03):
I should say that Merle is, um, unlike, uh, from the sounds of it, some quite, um, vivid,
uh, characters we have here.
Merle is a typical office worker.
He's kind of middle age, like got a shirt and a tie.
It's a bit faded, bit of, bit of stubble growing around his chin.
Um, yeah.
Hair is kind of, you know, it's starting to recede a bit, um, sort of like 40s to 50s

(13:28):
kind of age.
He's just, he's, he's just kind of, you know, once a, a, a, an easy life just coasting through
until retirement.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
And hey, you know, that's the beauty of being in the managerial spot is ideally that's,
that's the perfect setting.
Get to just kind of sit by and watch everybody else do the work while you get to sit back

(13:48):
and, and hang out.
Um, I just look back to that later.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Yes.
I'm excited to see that.
Um, fantastic.
I just kind of managed the team hopefully a little bit.
So otherwise I think we're good to go to jump into our, uh, adventure today.

(14:15):
It's a typical day at DDR, Dungeon Dealers Realty.
People are running about answering arcane calls on their various magical devices.
Some people are cleaning up the office while other people are rushing around filing paperwork,
printing things out or faxing things away.
Whatever the case, you suddenly receive an urgent email from the boss and owner of DDR,

(14:40):
Voldemortgage.
He's a pretty intense guy, although he's pretty nice.
You most of the time when he gets stressed out or needs something immediately, he can
be pretty intense.
And so seeing this urgent email on your computer screen ensures that you better get to it.
You head off over to the meeting room that he has called you all into.
And as you step inside, you see the other members of this group.

(15:04):
You see Mildew from the sanitation department.
You see Fisward from the marketing department.
You see Hollister or Holly from the purification and exorcism department.
And of course, you see Merle from the humanoid resources.
Take your seat amongst these individuals.

(15:26):
And after only a short moment, Voldemortgage, the exhausted boss man, enters the room in
his usual dark cloak, which looks a bit disheveled today.
The collar is sufficiently loosened from one too many nervous pulls.
Dark circles shadow his eyes, an obvious result of lack of sleep, countered by too many cups

(15:46):
of coffee this morning.
Speaking of eyes, one of them is twitching uncontrollably.
You've never seen him quite this tossled and exacerbated.
So something is definitely wrong.
Once Dark Lord of the Shadow Realm, now the Dark Lord of Quarterly Reports, slaps down
a mound of papers and files as he takes a tired seat at the front of the conference table.

(16:08):
I want to thank you all for taking time to meet with me today.
I'm sure you all have properties to sell, marketing materials to post on Hexagram, scrollbook,
link, gin, or whatever the kids are posting ridiculous dance videos on today.
I called you all here today in hopes that you might be able to help me with a little challenge

(16:29):
we're trying to overcome here at DDR.
And as we all know, a challenge is just an opportunity that casts disguise self.
You're suddenly distracted by the sound of a soft but high-pitched constant scream as
you look to Voldemortgage's hand and it's squeezing a stress ball with a small mouth
that seems to be where this scream is coming from.

(16:51):
He looks at it and he tosses it away.
"This property has me so unedged, I've over squeezed my stress ball.
My apologies.
You see, about two weeks ago we signed to sell a property that's been foreclosed upon.
Something about the original owner having been severely behind on their property taxes.

(17:11):
Anyways, the bank has since seized it and has been desperately trying to sell it.
But the other realtor firms they've contracted with have all but given up on the property.
It seems that the realtors they sent in to show the property never return to work.
Unfortunately, I sent Fanny May, who you all know is one of the best real estate agents

(17:38):
here at DDR, to get the place ready to show and, well, she too has seemingly disappeared.
Now the bank is getting impatient and is planning to do an open house party tonight to show it
to prospective clients.
I'm down to my last option and that is to send the four of you with your variable talents

(18:03):
and capabilities to get over there and get this place ready for the party tonight.
We need it clean, decorated and without any kind of magical or non-magical squatters.
Now, I know you all come from different non-sales related departments, but you're my last hope.
So to kick things off, I want to work with each of you to go over a quick SWAT analysis

(18:27):
of what this team has to offer before you head in.
And with that, he pulls down a presentation.
It's like an arcane screen almost and already drawn on it is a sort of chart for a SWAT
analysis for those that are not familiar with that.
That is sort of an analysis a lot of businesses do to identify a group's strengths, weaknesses,

(18:49):
opportunities and threats.
The opportunities and threats have already been filled out for you, including on the
opportunity side is sort of what it is that you guys are going to be trying to do with
this property once you go there.
Sell the castle is kind of the header here and listed underneath it is clean it, redecorate
it, remove squatters, cleanse of negative harmful magics and traps.

(19:15):
Whereas on the threat side, we have obviously magical traps and curses, monstrosities, question
mark spirits and entities, question mark outdated decor, definitely, dust decay and mold, probably
squatters, probably, and whatever is causing people to disappear.

(19:37):
That's definitely something worth looking into.
If that being said, I want to ask you guys or rather Voldemortage asked each of you, what
sort of strengths would you each say that your group has in reference to getting this
property ready?
Anyone have anything in particular you could think of?
Well before there's even any one that answers as soon as the screen you pull down, Holly

(20:01):
starts clapping a little golf clap and you look over and they're just grinning from ear
to ear.
Yes, Holly.
Oh no, I was just, I was just appreciating the presentation.
Oh, oh, well thank you, I spent all morning doing this.
It's proper aerial font right there, I appreciate it.

(20:22):
Yes, I considered Comic Sans but I decided against it.
No Comic Sans, no never.
Oh yes, thanks.
No, no, please, you obviously have a lot of experience with marketing and ensuring that
we sell this property is very key.
Perhaps you might have any strengths to offer.

(20:43):
Well I definitely have a keen eye for making things look right, look great from the back
end of a camera but absolutely I could probably help with making sure that furniture is the
decor that we're bringing into this property is infitting with a potential bias for this

(21:09):
property.
Oh yes, you know what they're looking for, I like that, that's very good, very good
Fisword, yes, making things look nice, I will put that down.
Does anybody else want to volunteer any strengths?
Me, me, me, I really, oh sorry, I didn't mean to speak over you, you go ahead if you

(21:30):
need to go.
No, no it's fine.
Oh, oh, alright, okay, well my specialty would be dealing with him entities and spirits
and maybe even the squatters if you let me.
Oh yes, of course, removing the evil spirits that is actually your specialty so that it
is very good, yes, I will mark that down.

(21:53):
Oh, you deal with all the entities and stuff and I'll do with all the filth, all the dirt,
all the muck, anything that's broken, I'll make it gone.
Oh, fantastic, this is exactly why I chose you, Nildoo, for this particular job, your
skills with incenitation will be absolutely crucial to preparing this house as well, so

(22:15):
yes, I will put sanitation down, cleaning and so forth, we'll fantastically have some
good strengths on this group, I appreciate that.
Yeah, yeah, I think we've outlined all of the core competencies of this group and I
don't really want to bring Dumb on everyone here, so I'll just park that for now.

(22:37):
Yes, of course, yes, I think we've got a solid one in here, fantastic, any weaknesses we
should be concerned about, anything you personally don't care for, anything that might hinder
your capabilities.
Someone telling me no.
Oh, alright, don't tell Nildoo no.

(23:00):
And call me Millie, it's, Nildoo's just a bit dated, you know, Millie is kind of up
to date, a bit out there, a bit, yeah.
Oh, so, Millie can do this.
Absolutely, Millie, I will, I will sincerely apologise.
It's alright.
Well, I was just going to say, I can't deal with things that smell rotten or gross, it

(23:25):
makes me want to puke.
So, I'd like, if possible, Boss, to be kept away from anything that's stinky.
Understood, understood, alright, fairs word is not to go near stinky things.
Yeah, it messes with my creative process, I can't, I can't fix it, right, you know.

(23:46):
Well, we certainly can't have that, alright, I'll put that down as weaknesses, fizz words
should not go near stinky things.
Hopefully this place does not stink as you enter it, but I'm sure, I'm sure that Millie
will be able to handle much of that.
Oh yeah, I can't bless you, Millie.

(24:07):
Any other weaknesses anyone might be concerned about?
No, no, I don't think there's any weaknesses at all, no matter what, if Karen from Accounts
does anything that's like, it's an ongoing issue, it's not anything relevant to this
particular case that we got, we can deep dive on that another time, but I think that we've
got good synergy here between our group, I think if we get our ducks in a row we should

(24:31):
have everything we need just to really grab that low hanging fruit, you know.
Ah yes, ducks, yes, I like that analogy, I think this is a fantastic start.
Well, if we all feel pretty confident in where we're going and our strengths and weaknesses
and generally as a team working together to get this done, I think it's time to send

(24:55):
you forth.
Are all of you ready?
I would say so, yeah.
Alright, let's do this.
Yeah, let's move the needle.
Let's go!
I've already got the teleportation circles ready for you to get to the property as quickly
as possible since it is tonight that we're having the party, so goodbye, bye!

(25:16):
And as he shouts this spell, all of a sudden some teleportation circles open up below your
chairs, they start to glow a bright blue light as you all feel yourselves pretty much just
drop under the floor and as everything sort of goes into a bright light it will quickly
fade leaving you all sitting in front of what might be one of the most creepy eerie decrepit

(25:42):
castles you've ever seen straight out of any given horror movie where a group of teens
goes into a spooky derelict castle and usually bad things happen.
Hopefully that's not the case for you guys, but we will see as you guys look on your eyes
readjust annoying side effects of the interdimensional travel that is teleportation and you stabilize

(26:07):
your feet on the dirt road with your eyes follow leading to this great mansion or castle
and quickly vanishes this road quickly vanishes behind you swallowed by a deep dark forest
that seems to press in from all sides.
There's an ornate metal gate which looms above you, rusted, iron twisted into surprisingly

(26:30):
intricate designs that would look incredibly nice if someone had taken the time to clean
them.
As for the breeze in the air, it passes by you and squeals like a banshee as the gate
sort of creak open ever so slightly just pushed by the breeze.
You can tell that the hinges are obviously very weak and the doors barely hold on.

(26:54):
Beyond you see a wide stagnant moat which encircles this castle and you look over the edge of
this and find it to not be filled with water but with an alarming array of modern trash
plastic soda bottles, old tires, deflated pool floats and even a discarded garden gnome
all coated in a thin viscous stream of glowing green liquid that slowly oozes towards the

(27:20):
edges.
The drawbridge, visibly rotten and sagging, lies permanently lowered across the unsavory
moat, thank goodness.
It's heavy chains thick with rust and suggesting that it hadn't seen the up position in centuries.
Finally perched precariously on one of the bridge's crumbling stone pilings, a familiar
for sale sign from your very company Dungeon Dealer Realty's hangs there crookedly.

(27:45):
What would you guys like to do?
Well this just looks right like home, besides the trash and the vile goo and stuff but you
know it's a nice little property I think.
Yeah I think once we get things right I think it'll be an absolute stoner and Fizz is gonna

(28:05):
walk over to that site.
Just get this straight, it's annoying me already.
And he just makes sure that the for sale sign is straight in the place that it is.
Absolutely fixes it so it's not crooked anymore and nice and even and straight the way that
it should be so fantastic.
I think Holly starts heading toward that drawbridge to see what's kind of going on if we can get

(28:31):
that thing down or whatever we have to do to lasso it or something.
So the drawbridge is already down, it looks kind of like it probably hasn't been pulled
back up or maybe couldn't even be pulled back up even if you tried.
The chains that hold it look precariously rusty and the wood itself looks quite aged and even

(28:53):
bowing I think a little bit towards the gravity pulling it down towards this moat that sort
of circles this property.
It is down, it is there, whether or not it's safe to cross I guess that'd be something
worth trying to find out.
Holly will walk up and put, not put all their weight on it but put a foot on the front of
it.

(29:13):
Alright you put one foot on the front of it, it creaks but it feels solid, it doesn't
feel like it's gonna collapse.
I think if anything it sort of squelches a little bit and you can tell that the wood
is very just drenched in rain or even mud over the years.
It's not pleasant and it's certainly not gonna impress some buyers but it does feel strong

(29:37):
enough to hold if you guys were to cross.
Well looks like the entrance is clear to come in, good talk you see as Holly Watts former.
You see Fizz is holding their breath and they've got fingers like sort of pressed against
their nostrils and just sort of running as quickly as he can, his little legs will take

(30:04):
him behind Holly.
Alright the both of you rush across the drawbridge hopefully not getting any, Fizz word getting
any smells that he would otherwise maybe lose some constitution to.
What about the other two?
Alright Millie was polishing on the gate and just kind of just scraping away and finally

(30:26):
got a little bit of the rust away, made it nice and shiny and she showed the others
going in and she was like oh well okay I guess yeah we can clean from the inside and then
go on the outside but you know first appearances.
I like your instincts you know best practice just going with what you know you know you
don't want to really think outside the box but you know these guys they're putting the
best foot forward and you know we've got to support them just break down those silos you

(30:49):
know work all of our different teams together and just one coordinated synergistic team I
think yeah you're good I'll follow you.
Yeah I can do the outside in the doddle.
Awesome awesome and I will say given your you know specialty within the sanitation apartment
Millie it definitely you have like the sprays or whatever chemicals on hand and so when

(31:10):
you do a little bit of that cleaning sure enough there are portions that do start to
shine like they used to and I think that's really important when when you guys do get
around to the outside that you've got the tools of success there for that.
Alright so you guys all approach the giant wooden double doors and is anyone in particular

(31:31):
not to freak anybody out but is anyone in particular going to be the one to open them
or attempt to open them.
Just the doors?
Yeah.
Oh come on you haven't got all day.
Yeah Holly opens them.
Let's get it done.
Awesome Holly you pull open the doors obviously they're unlocked this is this is what you
guys do right like well I guess maybe not you guys usually the salesperson comes here

(31:55):
but you guys have the key even if it was locked you guys would have the key to it.
You pull the doors open they let out loud groan as you finally push them back allowing you
visit from the inside.
When you step through these grand front doors you find yourselves in a vast open foyer with
a tiled white flooring that despite being caked in centuries of dust and grime hints

(32:21):
at a potential for a dazzling brilliant dance floor underneath of it.
Above you an ornate chandelier hangs silently its hundreds of glass reflectors shaped like
little droplets obscured by a thick layer of dust yet still they catch bits of sunlight
that stream in through the numerous grimy windows casting hazy ethereal beams across

(32:45):
the space.
In the very center of this expansive room a massive dust covered tarp stretches upward
about 10 feet its peaks and valleys suggesting a large concealed object underneath.
Oh this is bad for fizz word by the way stale unpleasant rotten sea smelling scent hangs
heavily in the air seemingly emanating from whatever is underneath this tarp.

(33:18):
Fizz if you if you if you if you if you wouldn't mind if you could just maybe take that outside
and just take a breather and you know we'll circle back to that in like like five minutes
but just just remember that you know we've got to we do have to address this here so
we are going to have to come up with some kind of actionable way of of moving forward

(33:43):
with it with this with your condition sir.
Right you are boss I'll just step quietly behind yeah yeah I'll be over here.
Just remember at the end of the day it's only a bit of bit of grime it's not going to kill
you yet.

(34:05):
Famous last words I will add flanking the far end of the foyer you see two sweeping stair
cases that elegantly curl upwards disappearing onto a second floor that seems to be shrouded
in shadows on the either side of the foyer the foyer or foyer or does it really matter
it depends on either one's correct okay for your if you're in English foyer if you're

(34:29):
in French right ah yes that's what my mistake is okay on either side of the foyer heavy
wooden double doors stand close hinting at further mysteries deep inside the castle does
anyone like to take any particular direction or interact with anything here in the foyer
um I think I think Holly are we allowed to use our spells at any time absolutely yeah

(34:54):
uh yeah um so I think I think Holly's gonna like take a deep with within as he looks at
the entire place and and he just like kind of looks around he smiles he goes oh this
place is a fixer upper for my heart um and he starts looking around and um he takes out
his um stamp and and starts kind of like writing like etching into the silver side backside

(35:21):
of it um and then presses down on it and says boo and whatever he says boo it like echo locates
out into the uh room using the words of power awareness I'm trying to sense if there's any
like haunted spirits within the big hall oh interesting okay fantastic so we could call

(35:41):
this like uh ghost awareness or something like that you guys yeah feel free to slap
another word onto as long as you use the power word you are free to make whatever spells
that you want uh using those words so uh fantastic you slap this giant stamp down hitting the
floor and it sort of creates like an expansive uh echo through the halls of this castle as

(36:03):
it does casting and ghost ghostly awareness to see if there's any other real beings in
this area immediately as you do this suddenly you actually see for just like a couple of
seconds which is sort of your ability this entire room is filled with a whole bunch of
ghosts all of which seem to be dancing together um are you would you imagine that you're

(36:31):
given your specialties uh you're able to sort of see these for an extended period of time
or is it just like a quick glimpse with the spell I would I would say I would probably
plus so like to describe it like as I hit the back of the stamp you just see as like
some blue magic comes out of the backside and it like scrolls up ha holly's uh face and
his eyes turn blue completely with like cyan radiating off of him as he's looking around

(36:56):
very cool okay awesome yes your eyes glow and you can see in this room there are ghosts
that seem to be in every corner I mean there's probably two dozen ghosts in this room uh all
of which are dancing to a tune that you can't hear uh but you do notice that all of them seem to be

(37:18):
doing the same dance like this is some sort of choreographed thing and as you watch for an extended
period of time you quickly come to realize they're all just doing the makarena oh my god it's worse
than I thought see it looks around I know what I need to do in this room but if anyone else needs
to do something before I get started you might as well go ahead I'm gonna have to pull some real

(37:42):
tricks here as the whole one starts cracking knuckles sorry what is it you're gonna counteract
it with the chachaslide uh yeah I was thinking more of the the the the the ghoul shuffle but but
that they'll do too I'm really sensing a paradigm shift here holly I like where this is going I

(38:04):
fully support you in your uh in your endeavor I'm sure this is deliverable you see you see as
holly turns around with a crooked smile like almost creepily thank you that means a lot pause
oh I'm not really anyone's okay it's one of those things where human resources or humanoid resources

(38:24):
is always like that that other entity that's close enough to a boss or maybe just like the
fact that they have your job in their hands allegedly you know um it always kind of feels
like they're your boss or a second boss he certainly uses the language to obscure to
it make it sound like he knows what he's talking about and generally push it toward somebody else

(38:45):
yes absolutely awesome awesome well yeah is anybody else want to interact with this room
in any way before holly gets started on his uh is dealings with these ghostly beings so can we
all see the ghosts I think uh and I guess uh I will leave that up to holly's decision is this a
spell that only works on holly or is it sort of open to everybody actually that that's a fan

(39:09):
fascinating question I originally was thinking it was just going to me but if if we want it to go
to everyone else I'm probably fine with that I just didn't know the capabilities in which I can cast
spells or maybe you see most of it and we just get a glimpse yeah I I think I think what happens
is kind of like as holly's eyes light up blue there's like a pulse like almost like an emp that
goes out so you see like a blip of them and then like holly just starts going see that one right

(39:34):
there that one's dancing with that one and he's kind of doing that jig over there and he starts
pulling out of each one as he's going through I like it I like it I think that's fair so all
the rest of you at least have seen a glimpse of these ghosts that sort of surround this entire
room doing the macarena that's some really bleeding edge spell you got there holly it's uh

(39:55):
yes I please please continue oh thank you it's it's passed down through my family and my family's
family and their family too and that's cool we can we can circle back to that that's
going all right so holly you you have all these ghosts within your vision is there any particular

(40:15):
direction that you're going to take in in trying to deal with them I believe I believe that um
holly's going to try and cast another spell um and do I need to be writing this like how many
spells I'm using and stuff because I saw that you said something along those lines oh yeah yeah so
in business wizards everybody has a number of spell sheets equal to the number of players so

(40:37):
each of you have four spell sheets sheets total that you will be using to cast spells and those
will go in your expense reports and you will be reimbursed uh I guess the mana or whatever magical
energy it took to cast them gotcha cool right we get we get four spells each for this yes correct
yep okay just be sure to file them when we get back to the office you know their accounts

(41:02):
they're already on my back so
all right good to know that there's only four that we can have total yeah that is true yeah I
think I think what holly's gonna do is holly will um instead of using a spell pulls out there uh like
still has the little stamp and starts to whisper down some words into it and you see as the stamp

(41:26):
goes from this little small like normal stamp that has the words terminated on it at the bottom
and it turns into this huge ass almost looking like hammer that says terminated on the top and
he just lifts it on his shoulder and says well I need to take care of some things and just starts
like jumping up in the air and starts trying to stamp out the the ghosts with the other side of

(41:51):
the stamp as it starts radiating like red energy and you see holister almost becomes bigger and
his eyes turn red and like his horns themselves grow larger he is in his zone he this is what
holly does this is his specialty so awesome I am going to have you and this will be the first

(42:12):
role that we do uh I'm gonna have you roll for liquidate so one of the beautiful things about
business wizards is that each person depending on the the type of employee that they play
is only going to roll one type of dice throughout the entire game so for instance millie who is
the dynamo will have a d6 uh fizzword who is the innovator is going to have a d4 holly who is doing

(42:37):
something in this moment is planting the cutthroat who will have a d8 and murl who's our our hr
representative is a manager who roll a d10 so no matter what it is that we're doing uh that will
be the dice that you will roll so in this case holly you're going to be rolling a liquidate so
you're going to roll a d8 and you're going to be looking for a four five six or seven of course if

(43:00):
you get an eight that's a critical success awesome uh and if you get a one there's a possibility of
success uh but there is kind of a downside to it gotcha well I just rolled and I got a seven
seven okay fantastic you take out this now giant stamp and you're just going around bonking these
ghosts and this is a special item that is specifically geared towards getting and it's part of your

(43:25):
department as well right getting rid of uh ghostly beings otherworldly beings exercising them purifying
the area this is like right up your alley and you start popping these ghosts and each one that you
smack with one of these or with your uh with your stapler disappears you just hear as holly's
going around lock in with the dance of death he has he like starts running around and stamping a

(43:49):
bunch of things like almost like an anime style you can see a bunch of clouds and stuff like that is
they're running around nice and I mean hey it's plenty dusty in here so yeah you're kicking up
us clouds as you go just like super speed popping these ghosts uh in the in the face or you know
where else with your with your giant stamp I love it I love it honestly uh pretty quickly there are

(44:12):
only a few ghosts left uh I think one of them actually stops doing the makarena and he sort of
holds out his hands he's like oh wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait
what's that mean what do you want what are you doing what are you doing to us I'm I'm taking
care of you termination what does that mean you know what it means you see a very scary look on

(44:35):
her face I don't know I'm often not being trapped here anymore but uh which way am I going uh well
I think that I think that depending on how well of a or good of a person you were you're gonna go
no matter like wherever you're meant to go you know oh yeah he's sort of like rubs he itches the back

(44:58):
of his head he's like oh that probably doesn't bode well for me and as as he says that I just
thrust forth the stamp or discretion whoo he's seeing as he rubs his rubs his forehead after
word all in days one yep absolutely yeah I think just as you're finishing off the last of these

(45:20):
ghosts all of a sudden you hear the sound of sort of almost echoing throughout this this foyer
the sound of the song the macarena sort of this this continual dance tune that's almost ghostly
music is anyone else hearing that yes everybody in that time it's yeah that's not a mistake and that's
lost del Rio a one-hit-wonder from the 90s oh it's got it's got a snappy beat I like it I like it

(45:47):
yeah it's got that fun dance to it as well isn't it yeah yeah we're kind of boiling the ocean here
guys can we maybe put that on the back burner for now uh uh maybe uh we need to guess we've got
plenty of things to focus on here uh so I'm thinking maybe um uh and he kind of looks over to um
looks over to Holly and it's like uh so how are you doing after all that Holly you uh everything

(46:11):
okay you uh I mean I mean I took care of them I came I saw I conquered yeah you really dived
in deep there uh yeah some some real uh some some real good stuff um right uh this music's now got
louder since you started doing that so I'm just to put an idea in your think what I can see if it

(46:36):
sizzles um maybe maybe maybe Julie first bro maybe uh in our in order to uh move the needle uh here
maybe we need to uh approach this in a slightly uh action this in a slightly different way oh oh so

(46:57):
so no no terminating oh no I'm not I'm not saying no I'm just saying maybe we could park the terminating
for now and then we'll be all right all right yeah yeah because yeah I think terminating has done
it's has has certainly done it's it's it's thing I'm just you know blue sky thinking maybe there's
uh some other uh uh best practice that we could use that maybe we can bring other departments into

(47:19):
this and he's kind of looking hopefully towards uh biz and Millie uh Fizz gives the thumbs up and and Fizz
as all of this uh was sort of um happening with these uh spectral figures getting stamped out which
Fizz couldn't quite see right um he's he's um got out his um magical tablet and he's been

(47:45):
recording the footage this is going to look great when we put it out on socials you know
getting stuff done you look amazing Holly give us a thumbs up you see you see like it was like
during halfway through as there's like blood like ghost guts across Holly's face just like
smiling with a yeah thank you with thumbs up and then just gets back to it during a bad footage

(48:09):
could be great for like future clients who are dealing with heavily haunted houses that they're
trying to sell and you can use that to be like oh let me show you how capable our team is I will
work here I think that's great yeah yeah we're at this that's great uh Fizz that's like we're turning
uh a negative into a positive and that's really I think really shifting the paradigm here yeah

(48:31):
thanks yeah yeah no no uh is it making any difference to the noise however I guess is
what he's wondering is yeah yeah yeah still working out um I uh it's so it's at a pretty like if there
was a whole party worth of people here it's about that loud so that everybody could hear it within
this foyer um with that being said I think after a couple of minutes it actually suddenly kind of

(48:53):
just fades out oh great maybe maybe it was like mood music to help you with your flow Holly uh you
know the macalese while you were smashing whatever it was that you were doing could I'll see yeah
could be could be like uh uh it could also be maybe like one of those uh censored things when you

(49:20):
enter the property maybe through uh there's a sort of door activation some sort of rudimentary
technology or spell so uh Millie would you mind um uh just opening the door again just for a moment
she looks up from her room and gives you yeah sure let's go to the door open it all right uh as you
open the door once again you hear that sort of like deep uh even almost like wood cracking sound as the

(49:44):
door opens ever so slightly and then do you do you just kind of like let it close after you open it
fully hold it open you hold it open okay um you hold it open and aside from the sound of the breeze
kind of entering through the doorway you don't hear the music again well that's okay yeah so sometimes
you gotta shake the tree to see what falls out you know that's fair that's fair Millie shakes the door

(50:06):
one of that one of the hinges of the door just kind of pops off just kind of is like hanging there by
by a single hinge now okay uh that's on me uh let's maybe let's let's park the park that for now uh if
you want to just put that back in the parking bay and uh no no the no just just leave it just put it

(50:27):
back just just leave the door you want me to leave the door open or close it I don't mind just let go
of the door please all right let's see I'm not gonna give you pushback on your idea because
on what you did there because you know you you actioned it precisely as just not really working
so you know back to the drawing board I guess uh I think as you let go of the door it's slowly
kind of creaks on the hinge and it's like partially closed but obviously it can't fully close because

(50:52):
it's bumping into the other door uh at the angle it is but otherwise I mean hey you know you guys
have gotten rid of the the ghosts in here at the very least uh there's still that giant tarp that is
sitting on something that's in the they're covering something that's in the middle of this room and
then of course you have the stairs that go up to the second floor and then a a double a pair of
double doors on either your right or left right if it's all the same to you I'm gonna keep away

(51:18):
from whatever's underneath that disgusting tarp I can go with even from over here I'm gonna go up
these stairs and see what I say oh come on it's only a dust sheet Emily was was it off
she pulls it off um all right fantastic so uh with a big tug this heavy tarp billows and falls down

(51:42):
revealing a truly ostentatious statue with seems to be like a fountain it's sort of like the the
central statue to this fountain where water would come out of this uh this figure that is uh part of
the statue carved from dark polished stone and it's surprisingly clean at least the statue is
this figure depicted is undeniably striking a man with slicked back hair and a beaming fanged

(52:08):
smile his cloak depicted as if dramatically waving in an unseen wind the fountain's basin at its feet
is empty save for a thick layer of unpleasant and rotten smelling green algae that coats the stone
unmistakably the source of that foul odor that was permeating the foyer that fizz word was so

(52:29):
bothered by uh there's a metal plate on the front of it sort of a plaque that would suggest that the
figure depicted in this stone has maybe a title uh that is that is shown on this uh but oddly enough
there's actually a piece of paper that's kind of stuck over the top of it that reads claudra
and that's spelled c l a u d r a for those that are interested really uh bringing it to the table

(52:54):
there really thank you yeah no i've got this um she wrinkles her nose then pulls out her sponge
of saturation and max it in the that foul smelling liquid to suck it all up absolutely it just drains
up all this goo uh that's at the bottom of this i'm leaving it to be just kind of a uh just stone
it's just stone now um no no gross odor coming off of it and actually you uh thanks to the door

(53:19):
being slightly a jar i think there's a and the breeze coming through thanks to that i think it
airs out pretty quickly over the next couple of minutes to uh remove a lot of that stink
that was really bothering uh fizz word so fizz fizz uh points at um at milley and um he sort of

(53:39):
does the the heart emoji with his two little goblin hands and he mouths the words he doesn't say it
out loud he just says uh um love you but like his lips like melting out nice saved his nose and his
constitution for sure uh well i will need to ring this out somewhere though so keep an eye open for

(54:02):
me uh well i mean i this is a you know fountain you've got here so i mean you know not really
thinking outside the box but you know it's certainly actionable just to get from the fountain
it's clogging up the bottom well i mean that look it's your department i i don't want to
you know try don't need toes here uh so uh you know there was a moat outside yeah yeah that's

(54:27):
right i can dump this in there then i can empty the moat be backward genetic perfect i should go
and do that awesome yeah absolutely it's a great place to put at least for the time being so awesome
uh while while milley is squeezing the the sponge out into the moat and getting all that that dirty
gross algae water um out of the interior uh is anybody else doing anything i know fizzword said

(54:50):
he was headed upstairs right yeah awesome with that two two staircases a left and a right one
yeah yeah they both they both go up to the same spot um it's sort of like those like curving uh
staircases that just lead up to the second floor which you find is sort of just like a single hallway
that seems to lead down just one dark corridor and are all the ghost taking care of in this room

(55:14):
absolutely you made sure that perfect mill will look to holly just to see what holly's gonna do uh
haul is so just just so i understand so there's there's the two hall there's two staircases
there's only one hallway up there yes yep they both lead up to that second floor and then it's
just one hallway up on the top up on i think i think holly would join fizz if he's going up there

(55:37):
okay sounds good what about uh what about murl uh well yeah murl seeing the others are going together
starts that way and then also thinks uh yeah also got milly behind so he'll go he'll go up the stairs
but he'll sort of trail a little bit behind uh just to make sure that i can keep all of the

(55:59):
members of the team within sight but uh yeah i'll just uh you know circle back a little bit just to
make sure uh uh that milly is uh can find us just to make sure you know that we've got good synergy
between all departments you know yes absolutely awesome fantastic so uh all right so we got murl
at the top of the stairs making sure that uh milly knows where where everybody's gone the the two of

(56:22):
you that are kind of headed down this hallway you guys find on either side it's just door after door
after door these are just regular single wooden doors not double doors like before just single
doors that lead all the way down this hallway on either side well where where do you think too first
uh well um fizz is he's uh um looking around well i'll just get out of this door and it's the first

(56:47):
door that he sees within the um the hallway okay sounds good you peek into this first door and inside
you find just a bedroom uh it's very plain bedroom uh you assume maybe based on some of your previous
dealings with houses and things like that um this looks like a guest room maybe not like the master
bedroom but definitely a guest room uh there's a light a very thin layer of dust that coats everything

(57:14):
it doesn't look like it's been used in a while but it does look like it's been
more or less upkept um until maybe recently it's a bedroom i i i i gather that much
yeah i smile i imagine there's quite a few bedrooms in this place i i'd hope so um fizz uh makes a note

(57:37):
in his uh tablet one bedroom so far uh and just in just to clarify whenever we use the spells so like
like let's say used ghost ghost awareness can i use that again and does it use another like
post-it note so you could use it again um but it would use a separate post-it note there so basically

(58:01):
you get four spells the ideas that spells are kind of like a guarantee success i anyway yeah yeah
that makes more sense cool yeah absolutely i mean i i probably should check this uh this room for
spirits and stuff um just to make sure that nobody's overstaying they're welcome um but we can we can

(58:21):
check some other other areas first if you if you want to well hold on maybe i can uh uh be of use
since uh uh you know we we've only got so many spells we can use you know uh let me have a crack
sound thing and um fizz is seeing that there are so many doors within this uh hallway he is

(58:50):
uh going to use his words of power and he's going to use a spell so he puts his hands out
and uh sort of um tap in on his uh uh tablet and he says butchers the danger butchers site that's

(59:11):
that's the one i wanted danger butchers site so what pop fizz wants to happen uh is he's going to
look into the futures of him opening up every single one of these doors nice i love that in this
in this hallway and um he's going to make a note of any of the doors that have something dangerous

(59:38):
or um something that is uh going to cause himself and the the group trouble okay sounds good you cast
the spell you suddenly your eyes glow and you've looked down this otherwise darkened hallway and
each one of these doors lights up with sort of this uh emanating aura and here's what i'm going

(01:00:03):
to pitch to you uh i like the idea that they turn one of three colors green if it's safe based on your
future site yellow if there's something maybe odd and red is dangerous that's cool with you
yeah that sounds that sounds fantastic perfect you every single one of these doors on the right

(01:00:35):
and left side completely green the far door all the way down at the end of the hallway that kind
of sits right in the center it's not on the left or right it's like on the end wall that one glows
yellow and if at any point you look back behind you if you were walking into the foyer the door on
the left side is glowing red um so um fizz sort of puts his hand out and since holly is there with

(01:01:04):
them holly i've i've had a vision uh what i could say is down that way at the very end of this hallway
there is a door where something potentially dangerous is inside i don't quite know it just

(01:01:25):
lets me know what's sort of dangerous it's it's a middle middle in ground over there and over this
door over this way it's red something definitely dangerous in in that direction all right all
right so so so how do how do we how do we persist well you uh if if you don't mind me saying holly

(01:01:54):
and um uh fizz is much smaller than everyone here they're a little goblin guy just sort of reaches
up and uh just gets a sort of pinch of holly's arm and says holly you've you work out you amazing

(01:02:20):
sort of structure there i thank you for noticing that i go to the gym every hell man you see is
he starts blushing seeing what the the amazing uh uh feet that you performed just down the stairs i
have no doubt that you do away with whatever is behind the red door i'll be right behind you

(01:02:44):
all right he's he's he's with the smiles and just starts walking forward which which one you want
you want the yellow one you want the red one you want me to bring my stamp out and kill some
things what do you want me to do oh uh what what what would you say uh since you you know uh would

(01:03:05):
you like um the main course first or uh the the the starter uh uh uh well when you put it that way
i always like a good little starter to get me started into everything just a little taste here
and there you know that's just that's just me though oh let's go with that let's go with that

(01:03:26):
let's let's get our teeth sucked into when i say teeth i mean yours all right yeah so you guys head
down this hallway towards the yellow door which is your uh your snack your your starter and you
open it up inside you find another bedroom this one is much larger than all the other ones so you

(01:03:48):
quickly assume that this must be the master bedroom and as you step inside the thing that really
catches your eye because it has a lot of the normal bedroom stuff it's got a nice big dresser there's
a closet and uh but the one thing that it seems to be missing is an actual like bed instead of a
bed there's actually a giant coffin uh sort of just leaned up against one side of the room

(01:04:14):
and i think the one other thing that you guys notice is that unlike the bedroom the guest
bedroom which you just saw this one is pretty clean there's no dust in here it's not dirty this
room is in good condition as if it's being used pretty regularly oh my goodness there's squatters
in here i can smell them oh um this is going to quickly look around uh to see if he can spot any

(01:04:43):
identifying um sort of sigils or marks uh on the coffin or anything within that particular room
yeah absolutely uh do you take a quick peek over into the closet and you notice that it's all it's
it's like in every like comedy movie it's just all of just the same outfit over and over and over again

(01:05:07):
all hung up on nice wooden hangers and it's just a sort of white t-shirt with the frills on the sleeves
or on the on the ends of the sleeves and on the collar it's got a black vest and then a black sort
of like long cape going along with uh black pants and it looks a lot like the same outfit that's

(01:05:30):
being worn by the the statue that's out in the foyer oh and and what was then what was it claudria
ardra yes claudra yes yep um holly i might add something i might let me uh let me have a word

(01:05:52):
with my magical tablet here there might be something online that we can uh find out about this
claudra or whatever uh so he starts tapping into wizepedia and uh types in claudra to see if they
can find anything uh in particular about uh this individual yeah absolutely uh how about you roll

(01:06:15):
me an ideate roll so you're looking you're gonna roll your uh d4 and you're looking for either a
two or a three let's go okay first roll for me please bloody hell no now now hold up there is an
opportunity here so uh ones can technically be a success so long as it has to do with you working

(01:06:41):
directly with your department so your department is marketing um so is there any way that you can
kind of describe how your department might be able to back you up on this one with the knowledge that
your department's gonna get or your department manager more likely is gonna get the credit for
this uh sort of this revelation instead of you right oh well let me let me just call him up

(01:07:04):
he picks up his like really giant uh brick mobile phone he'll uh dials up there hold on yeah i won't
be a minute uh it calls into his department what's your boss's name what would you say is your like

(01:07:25):
department boss's name uh ginger leisure ginger vicious okay i like it hello yes this is ginger
uh hi six six fizz i'm out and about doing a job for the boss uh right uh would you mind just doing
me a solid here right i'm i'm i'm trying to find out about um i i know we've got all of these files

(01:07:53):
to do with particular individuals that uh have a certain style you know we we call these sheets on
on our walls uh to get inspiration from and i i think i might have remembered something
and he starts describing the outfit the specific outfit that he's seen in this closet
is is that ringing any any bells to you ginger uh uh i'm coming up with the we've got the name here

(01:08:21):
claudra anything you can help me i must say you've you've caught me during lunch fizz but uh
based on just kind of a basic thought of what it is that you're describing it it sounds a lot like
uh what was his name there's a there was a vampire lord uh very popular guy but he kind of disappeared

(01:08:41):
maybe a couple of decades ago from from the public eye oh what was his name uh started with a d
track you that yeah oh yes yes that was the one yes it sounds a lot like uh his m o right so i set
everything you need fizz uh yeah you've you've been a you've been a a a darling there ginger when i

(01:09:06):
get back to the office with a lunch is on me eh oh that sounds fantastic i'll get back to my reheated
pasta love you where ends to hall turns to holly yeah Dracula apparently uh um matches the
description from ginger she's she's lovely by the way did did you say Dracula yeah Dracula

(01:09:32):
some vampire lord apparently hollister looks off into the distance with a long stare
and uh and and when you say when you say Dracula you mean like like this this thing it whoever's
staying here is Dracula or or claudra's like an acronym or something or a pseudonym for Dracula

(01:09:56):
like what was the beat uh you may be onto something there you you've got quite the mind on something
that big beautiful head of yours maybe um i i've got to say i i'm not really familiar with uh uh
too much of uh Dracula's dealings but what i do like is a snazzy outfit i've always found it quite

(01:10:21):
fascinating actually um would hollister know anything like more about Dracula like because
like right now i'm thinking in terms of like the fact of purification and exorcism that that would
be a well-known name to them oh absolutely um i would say if anything uh maybe give me an
i think this also would fall under ideate if you want to give me an ideate role

(01:10:45):
all right so i gotta get a two or a three that's a two a two awesome success okay um i would say
yes you think back to your your work within and i actually think this goes all the way back to college
you studied within this kind of realm of uh exorcisms and dealing with the undead and one of

(01:11:06):
the types of undead that had been talked about and whether or not you took classes that specialized
in vampires um i'll leave that decision up to you but at the very least maybe there was a
general education class that you had to take about vampire specifically and one of the sort of most
famous figures within vampire society is this count Dracula um it's very very stereotypical

(01:11:31):
to exactly what you probably out of game know about Dracula right he's this kind of like
very posh very very um well mannered vampire but then at the same time he's also pretty well known
for being uh kind of tyrannical to some extent um he he would oftentimes you know you'd hear

(01:11:52):
about an entire village that got raised down by Dracula and his followers and if lots caler all
that exactly exactly but then on the other hand you also remember hearing a lot of stories about
hey everybody had a whole bunch of fun over at this giant party thrown over at Dracula's mansion
or what have you and also there were some times where you hear about a story of a whole bunch

(01:12:15):
of people that went to a Dracula party and never came back so you know there's a lot of different
directions that the the proverbial lore on Dracula has taken based on your studies as as
Hollister's were calling that uh like piecing all those things together them thinking back to all
the ghosts that they just exercise well i understand where all those people went but um all right
uh uh Dracula actually this could be something that we could use Fez uh Dracula was a big partier

(01:12:42):
and if we make it a sort of a i'm thinking i mean you're more the market inside but maybe we angle
this sale from a hey welcome to Dracula's old frat hair i'll see you know oh oh you're you're
you're yeah i like where your mind is yeah let me let me wind this dad he makes some notes

(01:13:02):
awesome fantastic i love it Dracula's pad he won't take don't you i think i like this is that
is that the sales pitch you want it don't you uh i don't know this yes it's a story yeah yeah yeah
playing hard to get i like it i like it it's it's it's it's a tactic for sure i think by this point

(01:13:24):
Millie and Merle had both caught up to the rest of the group so you guys step into this uh this i mean
assuming you want to um this large master bedroom yeah sure sure uh i think like yeah you know because
there's uh there's a lot of moving parts and uh we just want to make sure that you know we were
keeping in mind our core values and keeping our uh tiger team together you know because we've been

(01:13:48):
empowered by the boss you know we're the tiger what what what is going on in here just stopped me
that's to be like what what i'll give you the bullet me look right here right right here is
is the bullet points is the low down from your manfils uh this pad this uh uh house castle place
seems to be owned by Dracula so that's the thing uh here's another bullet point is uh there's a room

(01:14:19):
down that way which has something potentially terrible within it there you go um maybe maybe
that room has Dracula himself in it uh yeah but good to keep us in the loop there uh uh Thiz i
i appreciate appreciate that yeah that's uh that's great uh maybe maybe we could uh take it take a
moment team to have a little thought shower just to um you know just because it's like one of them

(01:14:47):
icebreakers that we used to do whenever we would join the company yeah it's that kind of i i just
thinking that this is a bit of a game changer so we should probably uh recalibrate a little bit
and play a game to to change the game exactly you know we would want to make sure that we have a
robust strategy uh moving forward uh you know because uh you know we've been we've got a lot of

(01:15:08):
faith putting in in us and i i believe personally in our tiger team that everyone is gonna do a good
job and uh you know uh i'm sure we'll have that aha moment soon enough we just need to you know
bounce some ideas off the walls of each other and just yeah it's a little as has anyone ever told

(01:15:29):
you that you say loads and loads of words but you know listening to you they just go round and round
around in the circle i know right it's so hard to hear them i i i don't see many people many very
often so you're doing wonderfully you really are oh no no no i i i didn't really sign up for this i was

(01:15:50):
quite happy in my office but um you know the boss says it and you got you gotta do with the bus says
anyway let's uh um let's make hey while the uh while the sun shines so they say so uh uh so okay
so we've got dracula and um something bad behind it's drac dracula if you're gonna say at least

(01:16:12):
at least give some respect to the name uh i apologize i'll circle back to that uh
dracular you're still you're still there's a there's an r at the end that you're saying and
there there ain't no r there oh dracula yeah yeah that's the one okay uh cool uh right great uh thank

(01:16:33):
you for uh picking me up on that one keep me in the loop i appreciate that let's really uh thumbs
up going there okay so if we drill down into this then so dracular and um uh red door bad door and uh
okay so you know i want to reinvent the wheel here but maybe there's a way that we can you know
uh think outside the box and really turn this thing on its head you know so anyone have any

(01:16:59):
thoughts like what what do you what do you mean exactly turn it on its head i i feel like we
could just walk through the door and just be like hey dracula or we could dress up as dracula and say
hey you're not the real dracula i am oh wow that was an amazing idea i've always dreamt of putting on
this exact costume and and there's enough for all of us so we could do that we could really confuse

(01:17:24):
them and be like we're here now we hope it's been a year okay well okay that's great i
to feel like i'm the only one who's not drinking the koolaid here but uh i really appreciate the
details join us come on no it's great to touch space and uh you know i'll just you know i'll let
you you guys you know forward this and action this and i'll just i'll just supervise i'll be here if

(01:17:49):
you need i've always heard that peer pressure is the best way to lead i mean how many other chances
are you gonna get to where dracula's at to a close i have an eye for these things
he's a gent with flair and pizzazz and i'm gonna get this pizzazz all over me right now
i've i've just like a picturing like one of the caves just covered in bedazzle like gems

(01:18:15):
he's got like an elvis version of his exact like normal outfit it's all it's all white and has gems
ever yes i want to imagine this sort of montage of those who are willing to sort of dress in the attire

(01:18:35):
of dracula given it's all of that sort of energy like you know those sort of like oh who did it
best who wore it best it's like quick cuts of each of you you know putting the sleeve on or
throwing something over to your collar or something like that um checking it out in the mirror as like
each one of you walks up and does sort of like a like a modeling show style walk up towards the

(01:19:00):
mirror and like does some flair i love that that's great so three of you are now dressed as dracula
yes we make this look good uh well it's great to touch base guys uh a real real key takeaway about
dracula there uh so great uh let's uh let's uh let's action this and move the needle forward i
guess uh so uh uh yeah what's the big idea what's the you know what's the what's the what's the real

(01:19:25):
the real uh the real thing here the real i want to hear your thoughts the real blue sky thinking
are you asking like how we're gonna deal with dracula sorry if is if you if you want to go ahead
you can go no no no it's an open forum guys i'm good so you can speak now
i mean like if we're going into the red door and there isn't dracula then we should figure out

(01:19:50):
once we get in there but like if we go in we should either do it like how we're talking right now
like with how good we look in these like maybe make it a fashion off and see who could be better
and be like if we win then yeah then you have to leave your place and stuff like that or we do a
dance off because clearly the macarain is popular here that's just i'm just spitballing here no no

(01:20:11):
no no that's great it's really out of the box you know it's uh it's a disruptive innovation it's uh
you know it's it's it's different uh and they won't be expecting it and that's you know sometimes
that is best practice you know it's the best way uh real make an impact i think hey hey well come on
come on and and fizz is like grabbing one of the capes uh from and he's just placing it on trying to

(01:20:34):
place on the shelves but he's so sure come on come on just just see how it feels on you look
it's wonderful fabric it feels so lovely honestly i mean well mel's not going to resist but he's
equally not going to help so he's just going to let like fizz just struggle with it this is this
like jumping up and down trying to get it over your shoulders uh um we'll say we'll say that the

(01:21:00):
capes sticks well how about we we tell them the truth and we we're like Dracula look we're selling
this place so why don't you go out with a big party we know you like parties we like parties
we'll just stop as you it's going to be fun it's going to be amazing help us tidy this place up
and then you can go your own way ah so it's uh instead of leverage where we're you're talking

(01:21:22):
about reaching out to uh to this contact i know that's that's that's right like a big farewell party
thank you for your service now off your pop that's a very angle it's robust i appreciate that yeah
i'm if you see you see fizz just sort of looking up like these gears are turning in his head um
so we have the contract for this property right so are we saying that Dracula is squatting in this

(01:21:50):
house he doesn't actually own it or we don't have the right to uh because we could probably do some
sort of thing where uh you know if he's looking to stay here we could talk about it within the uh
uh the terms of whoever moves in you're moving in with Dracula the party machine make it a feature

(01:22:18):
i like it is for some some kind of concern though like if our patron isn't necessarily vampire or
jason that they would just be paying just to die i mean i i appreciate the the different uh
approaches here and the pushback i think is also important part of this process um so uh but i would
there's one thing i i just coming to my mind uh isn't there a i heard something about vampires

(01:22:45):
that they can't be get in somewhere unless they're invited so so therefore what you're saying is we
need to kick Dracula out and then not invite him back in yeah or we could perhaps um mislead him into
leaving and then yeah not allow him back in i mean i i did i did study an enchantment if that's

(01:23:10):
something that we need but we could promise what what's something that the Dracula wants sorry Dracula
wants i put an r in there Dracula wants yeah thank you he was bothering me it's just a little uh
it's it's just my uh particular region regional dialect it's it's it's it's it's difficult sometimes
uh you're all you're all good i'm sorry for bringing it up oh no no no thanks absolutely it's uh you

(01:23:35):
know it's just sometimes you just want to turn the page on these things you know um absolutely well
well i'm thinking like like i could i could potentially depend on how we swing it i could
use a spell or something to to make Dracula think that the world is his oyster or whatever they say
and use my dream magic on him and be like hey this is not where you want to be there better

(01:23:56):
better even bigger frat houses for you to party in yeah let's i hear that's a purification and
ecstasyism that that's that's really up right up your alley i appreciate that and maybe we could
also bring in some magical marketing into this uh holly uh sorry fizz holly if we can i i i i i

(01:24:18):
i i was talking to holly and i was looking at you and it was very confusing i'm sorry uh so uh
you're all right you know uh you know thought thought shower a lot of things going on brain
dumping i apologize but um so what if fizz there's a way that you can is do you think there's a way
that we can uh best advertise dies this or um well you know absolutely i'm sure there's

(01:24:44):
ways in which we could deal with this but we kind of need to find out what the deal is from the game
i mean all of this is uh uh conjecture at this point we we we don't know if the person that is here
is actually Dracula they might just be fans who knows but let's find out let's let's go i
know i agree we should drill down into the details we really should uh you know circle back to this

(01:25:07):
this meeting later and you know go over what we find in our and our bit of a reaching out
investigation i appreciate he just continues circling around with phrases fizz is like
started walking out the room and good talk good talk synergy it's nice to break down silos you know
yeah uh millie you're still here actually no i've gone i guess i'll see you know i was gonna

(01:25:34):
i was gonna say you see as holister just waves i'm i'm still here i i don't know oh no but oh well
i think thank you holly i that's great um probably should see where the other two went though uh so uh
yeah i'll i'll follow okay it's so uncomfortable not being in the back so uh
i

(01:25:55):
easy swiss there's just smiling huge the entire time
don't need to do stuff he's really a passive guy he really doesn't want to do things we's like okay fine
awesome so you guys are headed to the door that had glowed red previously yes yeah i i i i guess
i'm walking uh alongside millie and uh fizz is like a say always like that

(01:26:21):
what would you what's your grasp of old ma old mao there uh millie i've not had much contact with him
but he doesn't stop he would go on unless you can find a way for him to stop sometimes it's feeding him
he does like donuts other times it's just agreeing or you know like we did walk out you go and get
stuff done and then he can find someone else to get stuff done for him do you know what we need to get

(01:26:46):
him drunk you need to get a drink in him i think anyway loosing him up a little bit he's a bit tight
well yeah that could be fun anyway uh this is the door i was telling you about what do you think
millie what what what what should we do i've always been told it's polite to knock so she knocks

(01:27:07):
a great idea i do want to say so you guys to to get to this door this is one of the doors on the
first floor so you guys came down the hallway and then down the stairs and then you're you're now at
the door that would be on the the left side if you were looking at it from the entrance so um millie
stands before the door and she offers a knock and you can kind of hear from behind the door uh it

(01:27:29):
almost sounds like it echoes the sound of your knocking and just kind of uh slowly disappears
into the distance so whatever's behind this is is quite the cavernous uh room or or something
you're not a hundred percent sure but you do give a knock and there is no response well well it sounds
like there's a lot in there shall we shall we go yeah after you millie i'll follow you through

(01:27:54):
it's mill do not millie do uh uh that's trying to be smart that millie oh oh millie millie works yeah
um yep she'll open the door all right uh you open the door and you find a descending stone
just plain stone it's got kind of like a a brown tone to it almost like a dirt light dirt color

(01:28:15):
there are sconces along the wall that are all lit up and it just is a descending staircase
close to look at the wall and just a little bit just see how dusty and dirty it is oh yeah it's
it's pretty dusty uh there's a lot of cobwebs that kind of line this wall as well and uh definitely
just it almost kind of feels like dirt just kind of crumbles off of it um almost like this is made

(01:28:40):
maybe from a mixture of sort of like a mud caking and stone right i think we're gonna have to figure
out everything that's down here and then just get rid of this filth there's a lot of it i'm
gonna have to chuck a spell at it i think one of my had you nexus and that sounds like a plan to me
you hear holly in the back all right don't do that sorry i i have notoriously silent footsteps

(01:29:07):
it's a real ninja yeah yes are you guys headed down the the staircase then uh yeah
yeah you'll look at the rest of the group and if they nod she will leap away awesome all right
you descend the stone staircase and at the bottom of it you find yourselves in a cold
subterranean chamber there's a ton of cobwebs that sort of just cover almost the entire ceiling if

(01:29:34):
not just like coming off of various corners and touching onto walls and in sort of a triangular
shape all across this room the air is heavy and still and it kind of gives a scent of damp earth
and sort of that age just like uh something that's just in sort of cooped up with no means of of new

(01:29:56):
air or escape for for a long time and additionally amidst these various spider webs and cobwebs
you notice a number of characters that seem to be shuffling around this room specifically two
characters there's a handful of what seem to be maybe six shuffling individuals just wrapped in

(01:30:20):
this sort of paper wrapping they almost look like mummies and additionally amidst these mummies who
seem to be just shuffling around following these little skittering scarab beetles that are crawling
across the floor amidst them you also see some skeletons individuals with no flesh on their

(01:30:40):
bodies whatsoever just the bones that would hide underneath and they each have a broom and they
seem to be just kind of following along these mummies sweeping up the floor behind them because
these mummies seem to be just dripping sand onto the floor constantly every footstep that they take
a bunch of sand just crumbles off of them onto the floor uh this is the scene that you see before you

(01:31:04):
oh come on you guys look at them and those all they're doing their best those two with the
broom's blessing but do you think they're like enchanted to like make sure that it stays clean
like why would they even put the mummies in here if it was just going to make the place dirty
right well well maybe they were going to go and like clean the rest of the place but these mummies

(01:31:24):
are just well I mean they're just like leaking aren't they maybe maybe maybe we could uh maybe we
could get them to work with you or help us in cleaning tidying up the property if we can deal with
the uh uh wrapped up folk like that yeah along the wall you also notice there's a handful of like

(01:31:48):
ornate almost golden looking sarcophagi sarcophagus is I think you're right I'm a
sarcophagi I think you're right yeah that are just kind of like leaning up obviously they all have
the doors open and they're all empty there are six of them that you notice that you count around
this room just like how there are six mummies so maybe we need to try and get them back into the

(01:32:12):
coffins or sarcophagi yeah instead of thinking out of the box we got to put them back in the box
that is that that's a good pun sir oh that thank you I thank you it's a robust feedback and I
appreciate that anytime all right how we doing it how we put them in their coffins we doing a little

(01:32:34):
like hey you over there and then like trying to shoo man or like what well uh there's uh there seem
to be more of them than there are of us but uh perhaps that is something I could change uh Merwill
just straighten up his tie uh and uh and just say um so this like greenish glow emanating from him

(01:33:00):
we say uh fake creatures and it's summon some fake creatures awesome what kind of fake creatures
are you bringing into this room with you guys these will be sort of I guess some these kind of
fairies like wind fairies air they'd like to do the wind in the air yeah absolutely actually I think

(01:33:21):
there's a system in this uh if you want to roll your d10 and that will kind of help us determine
how many of these fairies are inside I'm delegating to the fairies 10 wow all right max number fantastic
technically uh you can actually roll again because it does explode the dice uh whenever you roll your
max number so we're we're about to look at a very large number of fairies in this room

(01:33:45):
eight here we go Christ wow all right so eight mean fairies just manifest throughout this room
what are you having them do okay so if you could all just round up these uh these
individuals reach out to these um wrapped individuals and get them to circle back into

(01:34:08):
and park them inside their boxes then we can you know we'll see what's next but let's go good
good hustle team uh go go sweat team make make make hey all right sounds good your fairies immediately
get to work I think they probably between the 18 of them one at a time a handful of them maybe like
eight or so or maybe they split in half right nine are pushing the each mummy back into their

(01:34:33):
into their sarcophagus and then the other nine are waiting with the door to push the sarcophagus
sarcophagus closed and one by one you make pretty quick work of these mummies that are
dirtying up this entire space leaving you with just the skeletons and then of course you do notice
the bugs on the floor the the scarabs on the floor and then above you in those cobwebs and

(01:34:57):
spiderwebs there are some spiders that you do see skittering around as well well that's one actionable
item uh that's me millie cleaning sure i'm gonna get some dusters out give them a shake and get to
work oh i thought you're gonna delegate to the scout no no you i won't harsh your mellow you

(01:35:19):
carry on oh no they can oh you bony bony turny what are you what one of them stands at attention
and salutes all right you start on that end and you uh skinny sticky whitey go do that side
um do you want to give me a delegate roll with my d6 yeah we should do also this one i'm sorry

(01:35:44):
no it's totally fair you're giving orders to to get somebody else to kind of start working for you
i think that's uh that's fair you're looking for uh i guess in your case five or six that's
sound good nice okay both of them standing at attention they both give you like kind of a salute
and immediately one goes off to one corner and just starts sweeping away and the other one

(01:36:07):
starts it's just kind of cleaning uh whatever area you you pointed out for the for the first one
all right i think i can give these guys to it and then come back as all of this has been happening
with merle um bringing on his fairy team and um millie delegating to the the skeleton squad

(01:36:28):
a fizz again is got his magical tablet out and there's sort of filming footage of all of this
stuff happening uh for use later in in an uh sort of advert amazing you guys look amazing and the
the skeletons like they look up and they're like they're a little surprised they kind of have that
like oh stop recording me kind of a thing but but they give you kind of like a thumbs up like

(01:36:52):
sweeping and they've got this big smile on their face they're not looking at where
sweeping and they end up like bumping into a wall and they shake their head and then they go back to
what they were doing yeah free cleaners i guess that's a that's a great advert right there fantastic
all right well you guys have uh successfully uh gotten rid of the mummies that were down here in
this this basement this unfinished basement area and you've gotten the uh free help the in the form

(01:37:16):
of two skeletons to start getting things cleaned for you where you guys headed next what else what
else have we not what what else do we have options of just because i'm pre-inning actually the only
thing that you haven't checked out yet is that other door on the main floor on the opposite side of
sort of the foyer well i guess let's go there right all right fantastic you guys uh head back up those

(01:37:37):
sort of musty dirty stairs uh to head over to this second area and you open up the doors to find an
elegant chamber lined with a number of portraits that are hung on the wall each depicting a sort of
adaptation of Dracula wearing different historical and even oftentimes a celebrity-like attire from

(01:38:03):
again various decades dusty bookshelves packed with ancient looking volumes stand against the
opposite wall from these these these walls of portraits creating a sort of forgotten grandeur
this this room looks like a place to entertain high society guests have a few drinks smoke a
couple of cigars and uh you know maybe play like a game of pool uh one key feature is that in the

(01:38:29):
middle of this room is a small circular stage and on top of it sits a beautiful grand piano maybe this
is where they played the macarena but only instrumental version hmm yeah this uh this
Dracula knows that to party it seems uh no no sight of them now doesn't appear to be maybe they

(01:38:52):
accidentally fell on the mode outside happens to me before uh yeah uh what sorry uh out of
character what time of day is it that's a good question i would say it's probably hitting around
like uh maybe noon to one o'clock at this point okay uh so fair fair ask uh which case uh well

(01:39:13):
we'll take a look out wear some light hopefully there's a window you can look out absolutely uh
well i no i don't don't mean to push back here and uh you know uh to really uh dampen anyone's
idea shower here but um maybe it's because it's daylight that he's not although it surely he would

(01:39:36):
be uh i thought he would be asleep maybe or something like that i feel like we would have found his
coffin by now i mean right well there isn't often it there is a coffin in the bedroom we we uh you
know where we got these snazzy outfits from was that coffin open i don't i don't think it was open

(01:40:00):
dm it wasn't open um it was not are you telling me that we didn't check the casket for Dracula himself
uh i i just like i said not gonna lie i like his style but i don't know this law and history

(01:40:25):
not my jam that's okay we'll have to circle back i think at some point yeah we can really drill down
into that uh later on we've got some got some real learning there uh everybody uh we can't take
any of these things for granted i guess so but speaking of things not taken for granted um
grand piano does anyone know how to play no i i i am not a musician myself no sadly i am creative

(01:40:56):
in many ways in the visual and the musical let me play a little ditty for you get some maybe we
could use this as a jingle in the advert dorik we want to vote for core competencies we could
hear out i'll i'll i'll take your fantasy camera if you want me to oh yes yes yes uh

(01:41:17):
catch my good side all right you see as you see as um holister like has never really held
like a video camera before and tries to like get get a good angle and it's like crooked in his in
his hands as he's trying to like put it up it seems like it's time it's time for you to go

(01:41:38):
i press the button it looks like so fizz starts playing uh on the piano
oh what a beautiful house this could be we have Dracula used to stay here

(01:42:02):
and if you like the party like a monster this would be the house for you yeah nice i love it
as you kind of come to the end of your your song you hear a voice come from behind you that says

(01:42:24):
what the drag man huh and you turn to see uh to look to where the voice kind of came from and
there's nobody standing there but instead you see one of the paintings of Dracula
its mouth is moving and it is the actually ironically the 1970s disco king Dracula painting

(01:42:46):
which has the exact outfit on that we had mentioned before of sort of that Elvis
impersonation Dracula style outfit uh the one it's it's it's wearing right now yeah i was
going to say it's the one that this is wearing um and he says that is so bogus oh uh everyone's
the critic yeah yeah peep on trucking elsewhere well you didn't like my song what was wrong with it

(01:43:13):
constructed criticism if you please you know instructives criticisms all i can offer is
the worst criticisms of ever understood uh uh well you know everyone's everyone's allowed to say
you know mean things you know me just me coming in there trying to say my friends and play something

(01:43:36):
nice for everyone i thought it was very nice no matter what the bad painting says he ain't even
look like Dracula you know i enjoyed it too i i if i if i may say uh that uh that that uh criticism
was uh kind of robust but that doesn't mean um uh perhaps there could be some other uh reason

(01:44:00):
if maybe if we sort of uh really uh let's it's real uh really drill down and deep dive into this
this this guy in the painting here um i i take it you haven't seen many other uh sites being that you
can't move is that correct uh one of the other paintings the 19th century sort of romantic hero

(01:44:21):
or or by ironic paint poet speaks up it's also Dracula obviously all of them are Dracula um but
this one speaks up and he goes bold the dash i have been everywhere and experienced cultures
beyond your wildest dreams uh okay okay i i i meant you and individually as paintings haven't left

(01:44:44):
this room correct yeah notice how there there hasn't been any clarification of what those
experiences were but just a generalized statement yeah that that is that that's really true uh one
of the uh one of the other ones uh now speaks up it is a 18th century kind of looks like a a uh
enlightened gentleman and he says fire fire upon your partners you are as dull as dishwater no

(01:45:09):
there's nothing constrict constructive about any of the criticism has been had here uh well you know
we can always uh maybe park this uh for later and he just goes over to like grab one of the
paintings and he's just gonna try and turn it around all right i love it do you uh so there's
there are oh boy there are a lot of paintings there's a i mean really honestly just give me a

(01:45:33):
century and there's probably a painting for it okay great i'll turn over one painting to make a
point do you have a preference on century uh let's go with the uh let's let's go let's go with the
third one that that said that said the mill was boring although it's true he would still
want to make an example yes the the 19th century uh a painting of Dracula in a very style fitting

(01:46:02):
of that time and age um is shouting out hey may your trousers always be as you flip them over
and turn them to uh face the wall yeah how about that taking him out of the loop you see
that's um something we could all appreciate i think right let that be a lesson to the rest of

(01:46:23):
you all right you see one that's in like a 19 just like a 90s uh it's got like a flannel shirt uh
ripped jeans back martin's unkempt hair uh and it just says whatever talk to the hand losers mill
do you uh and your cleaning supplies you wouldn't have to have any turpentine would you you know i do

(01:46:47):
do you want a few drops so it just kind of dribbles really slowly or do you want a big
spritz so they just evaporate instantly well look it's one of your core competencies i'll leave
that uh up to you for your uh you know whatever leverage you'd like to use is there any information
we can get from these paintings do you think or are they just full of s why don't you uh

(01:47:09):
why don't you intimidate them with your turpentine sure yeah yeah why don't you do that i i can assist
if you require aid but i'm more than happy to let you uh make hay you know let them have it millie
let them have it i get the turps out you do the talking all right mill you're very very good at talking

(01:47:31):
so should you are approaching one of them do you guys have a preference on which one you're
gonna go to uh i should have probably established i have everything from 17th century where it's like
kind of a baroque dandy character all the way down to modern day i will let of course we're gonna let
millie cheese yes yes absolutely yeah let's go for the dapper looking chap in the 1920s dapper

(01:47:57):
or dapper looking drak i love that all right sounds good you approach and this uh this uh this
drakula this version a very enlightened gentleman looking uh drakula uh speaks out uh sila you
you buffoon uh fire fire upon your manners well it's not very kind is it and she'll put a little

(01:48:20):
dab of turpentine on her finger and just run it along the side of the painting just next to his
portrait so the colors start to run yeah you hear almost a sizzling sound as you run your finger
across this paint and he goes uh uh stop that uh a pox upon your sensibilities well i'm sorry you

(01:48:40):
want a pox do you want more of this oh wait hold on no don't do that well now uh listen here uh uh
friend we're we're reaching out to you because we feel that maybe uh we could uh have a robust
converse conversation and maybe uh have some impact with uh uh our style here but this room

(01:49:03):
appears to be one that uh people would perform in and so uh with this uh uh this grand piano with
its sender is that correct would you say that this this room this piano please horrible music
what do you want with it well uh obviously if this place was going on the market this would be

(01:49:26):
some kind of uh music room correct this would be a performance space and so what we can have in here
is a bunch of uh critics that are going to give less than helpful uh criticism at all times this
you know not very um not very friendly that's not really going to gain traction with our clients

(01:49:47):
so uh perhaps um we could come to some arrangement where in you uh instead perhaps um
kind of dig deep into yourselves and maybe give something more positive or constructive uh to
those that uh perform in this space and in exchange uh we will not uh well my friend here will not

(01:50:09):
have to remove you does that uh sound like something that we could come uh perhaps uh work with here
i love this uh muril i'm gonna have you give me a delegate as you try to seek out maybe some some
amount of either alliance or like empathy from this painting let's go oh no four just shy um so

(01:50:32):
this actually comes to an interesting uh predicament so the painting does not seem swayed by your words
and as part of this uh you would take on a condition so the conditions are all based on sort of this
idea that uh the stress is starting to get to you within this job and they come in the form of either

(01:50:52):
crabby overworked existential or just done um so you get to choose which one of those you take and
then based on the one that you take you will have uh disadvantage on rules for uh ideate perpetrate
liquidate or delegate uh in that order uh based on the the conditions that i mentioned okay uh

(01:51:15):
i think for muril uh let's go with overworked because you know he's not used to being out of the
office you uh coming up and and talking to these paintings in and of itself is is more effort
than you would usually like to have to put in so um it's starting to kind of get to you a little
bit the stress is starting to get to you uh you're starting to feel just a little bit overworked so

(01:51:36):
feel free to mark that on uh your character sheet if you have it yeah on hand or i can kind of okay
perfect awesome um you're feeling a little bit overworked at this moment and he says um
i will not be told what to do in the comforts of my own home you on the other hand are free to
leave there is the door and he like puts he's like massages his temples he's like i really not get

(01:52:02):
paid enough for this um uh i'm going to uh it just turns to to milled you and the others and
uh he says i i think i'm just gonna put a cup put a pot of coffee on uh i i yeah you take over
that that's just fine all right i mean it's not wrong there is the door but also there is the wall

(01:52:22):
and she'll take the painting and flip it around so it's facing the wall all right and once again
he just you hear him saying oh buffoon as you cover up this this painting as well
so does anyone think you can get any useful information from these paintings uh millie
you'd like to uh do a ideate as you kind of seek out ideas to to okay that's a success um i will

(01:52:51):
give you this uh as you ran your finger over that that previous painting with the the the turpentine
on causing the paint to kind of dissipate one thing that you noticed was there was a small
inscription on the one of the corners that read the you know the artist's name which was

(01:53:11):
ablano the cante was the name of this artist and as you kind of turn to look around the room
to ask for everybody else's ideas you notice that sitting on top of the piano is a sort of ornate
paint brush that is inside of sort of like a little glass display case um uh fizz hello you

(01:53:36):
know how you're sort of all into the um advertising and sales so you'll know what will and won't be a
good look right oh absolutely i'm the i'm the creative type yes okay so drawing glasses or
mustaches on these paintings do you think that would help with sales just kind of sell this place as a

(01:54:00):
fun place oh hmm hmm well i'm not i'm not quite sure he's um he's looking at the the paintings that are
sort of still there already uh that aren't turned around and um are all of the paintings that are
there are they frowning uh yes yes and if you approach any of them they start to go off on

(01:54:26):
their kind of rude criticisms or or just rude language so um milley what if we were to turn
those frowns upside down on the painting as it were make him happy maybe that would provide the

(01:54:49):
positive attitude from each of these gloomy lot i mean it's worth a try we could try it on one
oh that's that's a real nice idea i like that well if if you wouldn't mind uh milley i i'm a
dab end with a paint brush all right i'm happy for you to go for it um so fizz sort of grabs the

(01:55:14):
little piano stall because he's not really tall enough to you know yeah get into the right way
and they show for these these he steps onto this uh the stall and he turns well the the one that is
wearing the 1970s outfit the blinged rhinestone now listen here you look absolutely fabulous i'm

(01:55:40):
just going to make an adjustment to your face that uh fits in better with your retire you need to
smile just like this look at look at look at my fabulous tape and he's just going to paint um a
wonderful smile onto this Dracula and uh put in those fantastic sharp fangs of his nice i love

(01:56:09):
this so much okay so you paint in this delightful smile over Dracula's prior frown and as soon as you
put the finishing brush on uh from the the stroke he says oh your aura is totally groovy man can you

(01:56:29):
take it oh i can take it yes you're speaking my language finally don't we both look absolutely
fabulous in this attire look at this again you and i are truly this going inferno oh yeah and
um Fizz is doing the the sort of um John Travolta dumps very nice awesome and and although the

(01:56:57):
painting can only move so much his head does kind of like nod a little bit to sort of the rhythm you
guys are creating now i have to ask what about the other paintings hmm well we've got a lot to do here
um he's going to uh um sort of uh talk to he's noticed that um Merle you know he was kind of uh

(01:57:28):
not looking great from that last sort of encounter with the horrible painting and um
very gay coffee he's got from nowhere he's he's he's he's gonna approach Merle and says i'm
i'm sorry for what i said earlier it's been sort of playing around in my mind but watching you work

(01:57:53):
is a thing to behold Merle you you have an ability of getting people to do what they need to do at
that exact moment in time and as i recall you happen to have a workforce that is uh at hand

(01:58:15):
you know in the property your very friends do you do you think they might be able to help with
this particular renovation that we would need on these paintings as you can say our disc
go friendly Dracula is all smiles uh yeah um out of character because obviously the spell was

(01:58:43):
some of the fake creatures now i don't know if they're still around or if they've sort of dissipated
yeah that's a very good point uh normally it would be towards like one task um but of course
you're always more than welcome to cast a second spell um and and bring forth another you know

(01:59:04):
workforce whether it be the second one or or maybe you switch it up to something different
uh okay and he's sort of like uh on hearing like he's not along with uh with what Fizz is saying
and goes yeah you know kid um i mean Fizz Fizz Fizz Widd up his kid oh i'm sorry um yeah i'm the

(01:59:24):
size of a kid i can understand the confusion no it's just i just you have a junior way about you
it's it's it's great um i yeah let's we'll park that what you you've just reminded me of something
that actually could deal with this problem in a slightly more um in a slightly more permanent

(01:59:46):
way and he'll snap his fingers and summon his void filing cabinet his secret edge very nice okay
we could always put the paintings in here follow them away as they are not particularly um
of the aesthetic of this particular i don't think it really has the impact in this room that we're

(02:00:06):
looking for uh i'm all i'm bored for that as long as uh this jack gets to stay and he points a wink
calivari at a 70s dreck oh and and 100% gives you a nice big wink back my guy uh yes i see you've um

(02:00:28):
empowered uh this one uh a bit that that's that that's good that's a i appreciate that the core
competencies uh you're always thinking of of our core values here at ddr um yeah like let's uh okay
well if we form some kind of uh if we if you can delegate into some kind of kind of way that we

(02:00:48):
can get these paintings if anyone has any spells that would be useful here or any other methods
that we could get them uh into this uh to to me and then i can file them away uh that would be most
appreciated you want them all rounded up that's right we need to get our paintings in a row
do all we have to do is just like take them off the wall or yeah all right but he is holy just

(02:01:11):
starts going grabbing some pains there we go there seems like a low hanging fruit yeah and of course
each one it's a series of kind of unpleasant rude remarks as you as you pick it up off the
wall and take it over and place it into the void hull is just ignoring the entire time yeah as
they're as as they're sort of gathering it up fizz uh walks over to the piano and starts

(02:01:39):
twinkling another chain nah nah nah nah nah and hey hey good bye yeah nice uh and well we'll
supervise and make sure each of the paintings is put into the draw in uh in chronological order
oh very nice okay beautiful i love that just a little added detail there fantastic so to the

(02:02:05):
tune of a fizzward songs these these horribly rude and and ridiculous paintings get put into
the void filing cabinet of murals possibly never to be seen again so fantastic as you guys put the
finishing touches on getting rid of these paintings you sort of clap your hands together um a job well

(02:02:28):
done and you do notice that over in one side of this this room that you've now entered you do notice
there is another set of doors um whether you would notice that before i know i didn't mention it before
but uh it's possible you noticed it earlier but kind of we're focusing on the on these paintings
but now you're kind of looking at it seeing a next possible opportunity so double doors that's

(02:02:50):
that's what you said yep yep a new another set of double doors these ones aren't as like uh you know
large thick okan doors these are more just kind of like um almost like a double uh closet doors
or something along those lines well looks like that's the next place ahead too right let's go

(02:03:11):
you guys open up these doors and find a a long spiraling staircase that seems to lead up towards
the one tower that this castle sort of features towards towards the top of it where there's almost
looks like sort of a viewing area right somebody could go up there and um look out upon the land

(02:03:32):
that encompasses or surrounds this this castle i think i think holly just starts heading up if
everyone else okay okay sounds good yeah i always like to just double check um but no that's totally
perfect so you guys head upstairs and as you kind of peek your heads uh through what is sort of like
almost like a hatch opening uh you find a sort of uh again this viewing room you can see uh there's

(02:03:57):
plenty of different windows uh open air kind of concept where with a few different like even telescopes
that are sort of on little like pedestals that stick up from the flooring and the thing that
surprises you most is there is a table with some chairs surrounding it almost like a small dining
table and there are people in these chairs all of which seem to be absolutely asleep you do see them

(02:04:26):
breathing ever so slightly but they all you know they had their mouths agape you you hear an occasional
snoring sound or you see a little bit of a drool kind of coming out of the corner of one of their
mouths and sitting across from all of these figures at the very end of the table you see what looks like
Dracula himself his back is turned towards you and he's looking out onto the uh just kind of out

(02:04:54):
one of the windows looking out upon the the land uh out of character is it your daylight out uh yeah
yeah she's very odd for sure yeah is he not in the sunlight is he like just underneath the top of
the tower or yes yes i think they're tame once we've all been sleeping peaks uh uh more squatters

(02:05:19):
we need to get rid of uh uh fizzler do you want to do an eye the gate roll real quick
yeah as you as you kind of look over these these sleeping people let's do it absolutely another
number one um you so you're you're obviously your marketing department right you actually here's

(02:05:39):
here's what i'll say uh this one's just a success you don't have to call it in because
although you don't know who any of these people are one person does stick out to you because you
work very closely with the sales department the the real estate agents that go out to these properties
normally and uh work to get these houses all set up and ready for sale and you recognize one of these

(02:06:02):
individuals because she works very closely with your department that is fanny may herself
one of the best sellers if not the best seller uh that you guys have at ddr and just like all
the rest of them she is passed out okay um oh uh oh sleeping on the job boss isn't gonna like that

(02:06:26):
what kind of chairs are they sort of sitting on yeah they're like slightly ornate but otherwise
just like a wooden uh dining chair they don't work comfortable at all anyone who's sleeping in
these for more than like a couple hours it's probably gonna have just really bad like cramp or
something oof you know so and and she's sleeping so fizz is gonna um see her there is gonna uh climb

(02:06:53):
into a lap and wake up fanny give her a slap like you know the job i'm gonna call that well
we'll call that a impulsive action which falls under perpetrate so do be a do me a perpetrate rule
see if you can wake up fanny actually almost also falls under office pranks too which is perfect

(02:07:14):
three hey that's perfect awesome you slap fanny and she goes fizz word what are you doing here well
i've come here with other people from my workplace because you weren't doing your job why are you
sleeping and what are all these other squatters doing in this property the last thing i remember

(02:07:37):
was coming here to get things ready to sell the house and then what happened after that and she
looks around and and she you see her face turned towards uh dracula who's sitting there and i i
would argue that with the the shout and the slap uh i think he's probably turned around at this point
and she goes i remember now it was him and he looks at all of you and he says oh welcome to my castle

(02:08:04):
please have a seat so i can tell you all the story of my financial woes i think i'll stay
standing from the sleep chairs thank you very much whoa i didn't cast anything on the chairs i swear
these guys all just well it was very rude they sort of just conked out after maybe 20 minutes of my

(02:08:30):
tales well if if if that's the case could you make it more of like a a summary of said yeah well
a real one a real one pager would be uh appreciate one pager oh you want like the bullet points uh
yes give or take yeah just like the real top top points yeah yes of course um bought the castle

(02:08:53):
and then i got really scammed the crap out of my body too then come and hence the mum needs
and um i tried to fix this situation with skeletons that it was less than helpful and um
it's not that that's evasion yeah that last one will always kind of do you in yeah it turns out

(02:09:16):
the IRS is far more a formidable foe than than Helsing ever succeeded in being you've you've lost
this property to your financial woes is that what we're is that what you're saying
which is why it's come underneath our departments to sell oh so you're here with the real estate

(02:09:39):
as well just like all of these people yes that is the unfortunate truth i lost the house it was
seized by the bank oh i see um well uh perhaps there has been some kind of uh misunderstanding and
this could be discussed with uh with the higher ups in our department uh in our company if you

(02:10:04):
maybe uh wish to to pay them a visit um we could certainly arrange a meeting uh or sign some
documentation or something if you think it will help i mean to be fair my lawyer is just
frankenstein's monster and um he barely speaks english so the readings of his of the paperwork

(02:10:26):
well it was um it was difficult to follow if you think that there is a way i could retain my castle
if you if you wouldn't mind may we have a moment to discuss amongst ourselves
uh about your very particular problem mr dracula unlike your outfit by the way it looks fantastic

(02:10:49):
on me uh just i was just noticing you were all wearing it oh yeah we we love your style
what you wasn't through choice it's very nice mine on the other hand was through all definite
choice i don't speak good on you i will admit and yes of course please have your aside so and

(02:11:10):
there's uh sort of uh kits into a work cuddle okay i love it work with yeah um right well
obviously our our man here drac uh he carries this aura and renown of being a particularly

(02:11:33):
famous uh person what if we were to adjust it so rather than selling the property
uh we could have it as a rental and use the trustees that we would get from having

(02:11:57):
people come and stay at drax pad that that is already go ahead millie but i think that that
is a fair point well could we not add him as a feature so you know you get this castle and
you get dracula living here he's gonna be here he's gonna host all your parties he will uh maybe

(02:12:19):
get rid of those people that you don't like hanging around you wait i'm sure we could uh
sort of drive the advertising for something like that uh uh into the yeah millie you've got something
there too owning a property with dracula well i think i think you could also go down the route of

(02:12:40):
making it more of like an air b and b sort of deal where like he always hosts and like you have to
like it's like a subletting thing where like he gets a little bit of the chaching and then in return
he gets to host the party you know do order is like mummies and skeletons and stuff to kind of do the
cleaning and everything like that it's self-sufficient more sort of location maybe even wedding venue

(02:13:06):
well uh i i hate to uh push back on on all of your ideas which i i think that that this is strong
ideas uh all around uh in this this huddle it's been i most appreciate that but uh let's not forget
the uh the core values of ddr uh and uh the customer always comes first that that is

(02:13:27):
that is fair that is a fair point uh and uh we were tasked by vol de mortgage that you know we need
to remove the squatters so i was my where my head was at was uh and this is and this is just my idea
you know i'm just gonna stick it in your thinkwalk if it doesn't sizzle that's fine um but

(02:13:50):
uh what if we were to uh as we discussed before uh to um let our friend here um
leave the the building on the pretense of going to sign uh documents uh could even sign a little
something here that's some sort of guarantee that we will not reclaim the property in his

(02:14:13):
absence or whatever put it in the void filing cabinet right there disappears gone uh and then
as soon as he's outside uh then problem gone i mean i think that works too uh i i i do i do agree
that i don't think vol de mortgage is going to be as uh thrilled and and i know for a fact that we

(02:14:33):
need to make sure that we get this job done right and i don't think i don't think our company's gonna
want to split the funds with well dracula and tax evasion is a crime so we would be you know aiding
in letting a criminal exactly and and and i can't go away to jail with this beautiful face i mean
i'm i'm a few years from retirement i really don't want to get involved in that oh you you you make

(02:14:59):
a good point but i like his style and there is something potentially there about being able
to use his name to up the price of the property like a celebrity kind of uh absolutely cool yeah
i think you could also do that without dracula himself being there oh wait what if we say

(02:15:24):
like something like hey like you can be near the mansion or the castle it but you just can't be in
it what if they was part of the mansion stuff they were saying if if dracula was dracula was part of
the death of his own castle or or probably out of that hear hear me out here maybe we we do kind of

(02:15:50):
something that that helps everyone obviously dracula ain't gonna get to keep the castle so what if we
do instead is what we we we try and get dracula out of the castle and then what we say is hey like
you can't go back in the castle because this is going to be somebody else's property but what he
could do is then set up his own like little hay ride or something outside of the castle and then

(02:16:13):
it becomes like his own little like hikin trail or like dracula's path you know what i mean where
it's like its own whole thing where like he can even do tours around the castle that don't interrupt
into the people that are there and we don't have to talk about the fact that dracula now has his own
little side business so it's getting his own little money maker kind of going he's not in the place we

(02:16:36):
sell the the general area and he's not going to be doing hay rides until you know like after the
next couple of days after the little you know house party i'm and that is certainly out of the box
thinking and uh that really is uh uh has a lot of moving parts uh it's it's a best of both words

(02:16:56):
scenario i say i see no downside i truly think that that could work uh mild prie here dear you think
millie what do you think millie i don't know i mean i do think him staying here would probably be
easiest for everyone involved because i think turfing him out is going to be quite hard but also

(02:17:17):
i was thinking technically we were told to make sure that this property is ready for a party tonight
that it's cleaned that there's no traps there's no squatters and it's redecorated so what if we
if we enlist dracula into helping us then he doesn't become a squatter he can help us set a

(02:17:38):
door lock he can help us door the most amazing best party and uh i don't want to hear but maybe
be like all right now you work with us like bulb like bulb like bulbs ideas ideas
happening in in there all fizzing up in in in me head like i'm not getting your name yeah that's

(02:18:01):
good yeah yeah uh what if we since we're going to be organising a party for this evening anyway
like you said uh millie getting dracula on board to help us with the shindig but what if we uh

(02:18:21):
were to put ticket sales with the name of dracula this fancy shindig uh in this fantastic castle i
could work around some sort of social uh um content that we could sort of put out get people excited

(02:18:42):
come down pay a price get a photo of some kind with uh old old uh track there and uh maybe some of
those proceeds could go to them to buy the property okay okay i'm feeling i'm feeling some uh some

(02:19:02):
synergy developing um maybe we could yeah it could be dracula's dracula's farewell party
uh farewell tour yeah everyone needs one i like it then i'm off in style maybe tele cups uh

(02:19:24):
i think agin is a crime i i have to consider considering he did just straight up flat out
just admit to that i feel like it hey wait wasn't that being recorded on your phone i i didn't have
that particular moment but oh that's okay this learning learning learning and deepening core
competencies so you guys hear dracula kind of call out from behind you guys he says so have you

(02:19:48):
done it have you found the solution to my uh current predicament uh we we might have a
certain proposal um i'm all here oh well yes uh and thanks and i also have the rest of my body

(02:20:09):
as well but it's later here no there well uh and um this is going to look to to the manager uh uh and
uh do you want to uh you know i think you guys both speak the same language boring i mean i mean uh

(02:20:32):
then what uh no let's we let's circle back to that uh i'll touch base and reach out uh uh okay what
am i doing uh i guess letting them know well i guess we can all talk tell them but i thought you
know give you the opportunity to oh i tried to so we're going with it we're going with the party

(02:20:55):
plan yeah yeah yeah i'm gonna take it some stuff you're fair yeah at all yeah yeah okay okay uh hey
right hey ride if you can work it though i will make sure to circle back to that holister holister
nods his head expectantly waiting for the hey ride to make its way in there well that's one way to

(02:21:18):
make hey he must have stood selfish he goes over uh okay uh so uh mr drack killer uh sir um
okay uh so we uh so we have a proposal uh so obviously we are uh representatives of the

(02:21:39):
realtor uh so therefore uh this uh your castle is of course going on the market and we need to make
it ready for market however uh also um it was uh under uh the instruction of our um of our company
that there will be a party uh tonight uh so we thought why not make you the make you the uh

(02:22:07):
the the how'd you pull the cool the the the lightning rod the uh catalyst the uh focal point if you
will the um the main event the the thank you yes the star uh of the event drack killers party
drack killers farewell party because of course of course you understand that obviously you cannot

(02:22:31):
stay living here uh you are a wanted felon uh and uh this is uh no longer your property i'm sure you
understand that uh and um uh so why not instead of going down the line of uh having a robust
discussion where we get authorities involved why not turn it into the event go out with a

(02:22:52):
bang you know like really think outside the box a hay ride could be involved for for example um yeah
what what we'd like to do mr drack you lay down exactly like mel said we want to make you
the star and since you'd be the star attraction people coming to see you this wonderful property

(02:23:18):
maybe there could be some sort of uh financial uh security that you might be able to get from
certain ticket sales that we could buy if i get the social strategy right
thank you yes i forgot about the ticket sales yes exactly if all going well and and this is as big

(02:23:39):
of a shinding as we're going to try and make it for you maybe you would have earned the funds to buy
the property back outright yeah this could be the first of its kind of disruptive innovation you know
like really uh bleeding edge of technology of uh innovation of realty because ddr you know we put

(02:24:00):
the monster in moving that that is that is our one of our core values yeah it's the jingle we put
the monster in realty moving but yeah i love that that's amazing so what you're saying is that we
have a nice big party here at the castle tonight and we use it as sort of a um what is it the kids

(02:24:24):
are always calling it a a sort of go fund me to help reinstate my ownership of the castle from the
bank perhaps pay off all the property taxes i owe yeah uh yeah if you like yeah uh yes hello that's
that's one way pun it yeah yeah if a fundraiser or you know you could also view it as a kind of um

(02:24:50):
send off they send off yeah if you all have the money so that you can then start your get
start another castle somewhere else it all depends on how how much money we make from the event
if it all comes through i mean that's your money to do with as you you you will right yeah fizzle

(02:25:12):
get a virus uh is that what they say you're gonna make it have a virus yeah i'll i'll make it go
viral on social yeah like that yeah um yeah have me i'm gonna have moral uh roll me a delegate check
okay doki ah what'd you get to name what's wrong why every role has been fine but it's

(02:25:42):
nothing to do with delegate as soon as this delegate you know you have one job well at least
you're you're sticking to your guns i mean you are it is my core competency yeah i was gonna say
if like your main thing so it makes sense i suppose i might have to use a word of power here as well i
think to turn the tide of what's going here i think i have got one that actually is suitable

(02:26:06):
for this situation so we will see words of power all right we're gonna cast a a spell i see that it
is a a two which definitely would be off um real quick um would you like to choose a a condition
to take on uh yes uh krabi krabi yep that's totally fair i think that's fitting for the situation

(02:26:28):
you've pitched a a brilliant idea and for some reason dracula it just kind of looks at you and
he goes well all done this kind of feels like i'm getting kicked out which is exactly what i'm trying
to avoid and then i said something about casting uh well look think of it as okay maybe temporarily
but in the long term the thing that will empower you that everyone will go away picturing is

(02:26:54):
dracula and then the greenish sort of tinge starts coalescing around mud again he says swag
and so like what appearing is just like there's little action figures and there's mugs with
dracula on it it's like summoning like from the ground like all these roots start taking shape

(02:27:18):
into like yeah like different sort of bits of merch that's so awesome okay hold on now that
hold on this is interesting tell me about this this is good well uh marketing's not really my
area so i'm gonna have to defer to my colleague here uh that's uh that is uh if you wouldn't mind

(02:27:40):
well what we could do dracula by alchum uh look at your beautiful visage you've got style you've
got pizzazz i'm wearing it right now because i just can't help myself you look fantastic
people want to be around you people want to be you absolutely we can make this a viral success

(02:28:07):
and you know if if things uh go off as as well as uh i think with uh let me let me just have a look
at my figures here look at uh within the stock markets and and uh uh how well we can get you to
to rise and he's gonna also uh sort of uh use a uh a spell here with his words of power as he's

(02:28:35):
um scrolling through on his tablet he's gonna borrow that uh word that merle has used and uh
stock market swag
to suggest the aura of the um the name that we have here with um dracula and how high we can

(02:29:01):
get that to rock it up for his as he's put it go fund me campaign in this drag attack event okay very
cool you've got you've got the marketing already running um i'm like a holographic looking sort of
like projection screen pops up and you just see like an arrow you know there's like the the grid

(02:29:22):
and there's like a little arrow that just starts going up and up and the you know it has a couple
of like minor dips here and there but it just continues to go up um with this idea behind
the this big party uh featuring dracula but then also like the following merch that would kind of
stem from it as well um and his eyes just kind of bug out a little bit you know you practically

(02:29:44):
it's almost like a cartoon where you almost see like chiching as like dollar signs pop up
over his eyes and he goes okay i like where this is going i look just like i did in my high days
do you really think there's that many dracula fans still out there that would be all over this stuff
well let me put it this way to you drag me out chum he lifts up his tablet and um he's been uh

(02:30:14):
sort of live streaming uh very shortly um as these figures have been going up say hello to the world
dracula oh my gosh it's on the camera this is the new founder social media stuff the kids are all
hello everybody hello mum and dad just kidding they are dead hello everybody else in the world

(02:30:41):
yeah we could have a party with your man drac what is this idea we've got a everybody look at this
and he holds up a little action figure of himself and he says look you can have a little dracula
the action figure you can fly around and terrorize the villages of your little barbies and army
soldiers with it come down to dracula's castle tonight we'll be having a big fancy go fund me party

(02:31:09):
that there ain't no party like a drac club party so you guys uh have kind of gotten i think you've
gotten dracula pretty on board with this idea um with the possibility that you might be able to
either save him or i don't know he's he's pretty open to the idea um i think you might have missed

(02:31:30):
the bit about the the corn the hayride but um you know you might be able to get him back on it
you might be able to get him back on it we'll see uh based on how things pan out
with that being said uh with dracula kind of at your back uh what are you guys planning on
doing with the mansion as it is all the things that you've experienced so far uh any particular

(02:31:53):
kind of final to do before you guys uh or in order to get this place ready for tonight and i'm uh
this is going to use a another spell spell all out hey now's the time yeah uh he's um uh
looking at um the property he's looking at the potential um fans that would be coming down to

(02:32:23):
this event and he's like oh i can imagine all of your your fans these fanboys these golf girls all
wanting to come and get a piece of this action this evening um and i want this place to have the most
explosive fantastical aura and he uses his uh word of power and uh in doing this he's he's sort

(02:32:53):
of looking to i can see uh uh oh um things in black will will have uh uh the seating this
velvety red will will um will have a beautiful carpet that leads up these stairs and he's
he's imagining how to emphasize um Dracula's appeal is yeah yes his style and um make it work

(02:33:23):
for the particular people that he envisages envisages coming to this event so he's gonna draw
all of that out to make it as epic and as stylish gothic as possible awesome i think that
by by use of this you have significantly uh sped up that time to kind of redirect or redecorate

(02:33:48):
things based on sort of this this artistic creations that you've put together drawings and even like
you use like illusion magic to kind of like look this is what i'm trying to go for and then people
are able to bring in the necessary resources to quickly get that up and so again you speed forward

(02:34:09):
a lot of the redecoration time does anybody else have anything they would like to ensure
they get done before this party tonight you have i think we said it was about noon one when you guys
came up to the top of this area we're probably looking at three to four hours before this party
kicks off so i think before fizzwood does that millie will use her power word yes and okay including

(02:34:33):
the um the dance hall area we found under this okay perfect yes using agasta definitely get
that smell out because that's that's definitely going to be a big thing too is that just stems
around in the walls yes absolutely beautiful okay i would say that uh holister is going to use a word
of power and create the spell dream house or basically on the outside all of like the moat

(02:35:00):
and everything like that like starts to clean itself up so like it looks like a very nice moat
and like the like just the flora and fauna outside starts to look a little neater and nicer and more
well-trend fantastic absolutely that exterior is the first thing everybody's going to see when
they stop by so it's important to make sure that it looks spick and spam so fantastic anything from

(02:35:24):
from merle merle is going to be uh he's going to be liaising between the different teams uh to make
sure there's synergy and that we're all moving in the same direction because there's a lot of moving
parts in this plan maybe implore um dracula to also um to also muck in and help as well absolutely

(02:35:44):
and i think to a certain extent you know i think he has to get past a little bit of that um a famous
individual mentality you could say uh to get himself to the framework that i need to be a part
of all of this cleaning as well and so it is very important that you're able to get him into that
mindset so that he actually is helping rather than just what sitting on around and ordering people

(02:36:08):
about or making it all about him at the moment so i think that's fantastic is uh the um this you know
a single stick uh breaks it's on its own but then if you put five sticks together it's a lot harder
to break absolutely absolutely the age old adage there fantastic a bundle of sticks um awesome well
your bundle of sticks is hard at work getting everything ready for the party and so by the time

(02:36:33):
that uh fizz's marketing skills have blown up across the internet attracting all sorts of
individuals to teleport themselves to the location for this party tonight uh the house looks magnificent
it is sparkling clean on the inside and outside the exterior looks polished and clean the interior

(02:36:57):
spotless uh and covered in gorgeous decor uh with sort of a gothic tone to it so all of these you
know monster fans these Dracula fans from across the lands absolutely loving the vibes here and of
course uh joining you as well is your your boss uh Voldemort gauge and he approaches you all and he
