Cox, a human consultant turned halflingbard who holy believes it's better to be
(02:40):
lucky than good, but it's bestto be both. And the historical figure
that Richard would like to have dinnerwith is George Washington Carver because he grew
up thinking that he was the personwho invented peanut butter, and he really
loves peanut butter. But as hegot older and started doing more research,
he realizes like it was more aboutlike sustainable things out crops, so it's
not just cotton and things like that, and so he's like, you know,
(03:04):
that's actually a pretty legit cause too, so I'd still want to have
dinner with him. Hello, myname is Annelin Hardy, and I play
Taylor Jacobs, a centaur barbarian witha heart of gold who got very frustrated
side and can't believe that doctor dis such a dick. Who knew?
But now we know what the Dstands for? Yeah, we do.

(03:28):
figure that Taylor wants to have dinnerwith is Serena Williams. She's one more
Grand Slam singles than any other womanor man during the Open era in tennis,
and she just has the most amazingwork ethic, so she really does
a really good one. Okay,So hi everyone, I'm Katie and I
(03:50):
play Crystal the dra Druid with hervery own MLM Crystal Clarity. And the
person that she would like to havedinner with is doctor Carr Renborg. I
want to say it's either ron Borgor Rehnborg, it doesn't matter. He
is the founder of the first MLM, so she would like to pick his
(04:13):
brain about all of the strategizing thathe had to come up with in order
to develop such a great platform formaking money. Jax, Yeah that's tracks.
Hey, I'm Marjorie. I playAmy and Amanda, a basic,

want to meet President John Tyler becausehe wants to see what kind of riz
a man has to have to popout a kid at seventy years old,
who's then inherited that riz to popout a kid at seventy years old because

eighteen hundreds. Yep, all right, So once again, I'm Alex Capps,
(05:04):
your DM or district manager historical figurethat I would like to have dinner

All right, so when we lastleft off, you guys had made
it to an actually decent hotel.Nice. It's a little bit more than
decent considering how much it costs.Yes, Uh, you guys laid down
(06:15):
in the comfiest beds you've felt,I would say since you've gotten here,
but some of these beds might bemore comfy than the beds you're used to
at home. Would you say it'san inspirational sleep? Because we've just talked
about Baldersgate. Can we all justlike sigh after we've done our first long
(06:36):
rest at this hotel? Sure?Because that's what they all. You all
just sigh like a I don't know, depend on much voice you choose.
Sometimes it sounds more orgasmy No,y'all all sigh, and then you just
hear Bentley in the back snoring.So you all wake up very refreshed.
(07:00):
In fact, you all wake upso like refreshed that you all get a
plus two TOKENO. Now, thisplus two token can be used at any
time before your next long rest andit's just a flat add to to a
roll anytime you any d twenty rollnot like damage rolls. Okay, I
(07:24):
would like to order breakfast. Okay, So she just wants to order breakfast
as a platter for the room.Okay, so you, says Antony comes
to the door. Yes, youuh were asking about breakfastt Yes, I
would like a whole breakfast, spreadthe works. This is all inclusive,
(07:46):
right, so it just we weyes right away? What time is it?
And what time is your appointment withthe law offices? Oh? I
forgot about that. My time ischeckout. Because Ben has made it very
clear he does not want to payfor a second second night, and I
certainly don't want to pay for thesecond day. We can totally just all
chip in ten gold and stay anothernight if we really wanted to. True
(08:13):
also still want can we ask forlate checkout? When he comes back with
breakfast, he basically explains that latecheckout is basically the same price as the
second day. Okay, so whattime is checkout? He says, in
about an hour? Damn can't goto the spa. Why don't we all
(08:33):
just chip in ten gold and staythe other night. I mean, I'm
fine with them. Yeah, that'sfine. I owe you. Yeah,
he says, no need to paynow. You can clear up with the
front desk when you leave, hesays, we will keep a tab open.
Your credentials could get really expensive.Your credentials came through and your you
(09:00):
are cleared for just as long asyou would like to stay. Okay,
well thanks blugle. Oh no,they saw Bentley's bank account. They were
like, oh, yeah, hecan stay here as long as all right.
But after so breakfast gets to thegets to the room. It's a
(09:24):
nice spread of different kinds of meatsand eggs prepared different ways, breads,
toasts, cinnamon rolls, jams.No cinnamon rolls. Damn, there's a
place of heathens. Is there?French toast? There is some kind of
toast that appears to have been dippedin eggs and then like covered with powdered
sugar. Yes, okay, that'swhat that's what Bentley's Syrup and jelly and
(09:50):
jam perfect. I mean I wouldalmost prefer syrup, jelly and jam over
sounds we're eating breakfasts, so andnow that we've had a night to kind
of recuperate and kind of collect ourthoughts, I don't like what this bodes
for us. Like, if thisasshole has been here as long as he's
(10:11):
making it seem maybe the only wayto get home is with these stupid artifacts.
Maybe we really do needlogo. Heseems pretty desperate to try anything,
so I have a hard time believinghe hasn't tried everything else already. Oh
oh, to Like, so youthink we need to talk to d'artagnian again.
No, no, no, I'msaying, like you know, we
were trying to find a way thatdidn't involve blugle. I'm thinking maybe we
(10:33):
say ourselves sometimes and not try todo that. Oh okay, I mean,
as long as we're working with FizzleBang, I think we'll be fine.
That was If Fizzle Bang goes toa different company, then I guess
we'll just have to Fizzle Bang.I wonder if there's a referral bonus we
can split, right, So thatwas one thing that I was wondering as
well. In a little bit ofa different way, I guess we should
(10:56):
probably tell Matt Damon and and doctorfizzle Bang what we've expected. We might
need a little more security going intothis next je Fizzle Bang was kind of
tossing it off. You know,we mentioned this whole thing, but I
don't know that they know quite howserious exactly this is. And if they
do, then they're just even biggerassholes. Well that's corporate for you.
But hopefully that's valuable information for them. And then I think that we could
(11:20):
use that as a bargaining tactic toget a more competitives out. So what
all do we have to do today? We want to go talk to Bluegle.
We need Mimeo out potentially, Yeah, Crystal has to go to so
I guess we need to split theparty, I think. So okay,
So as you're all discussing this,there's a loud bang at the door.
(11:41):
Crystal, you better be in there. That's rude, chill out, and
she like walks to the door andopens it. He didn't say, Crystal
too. Open the door, andyou see Saul standing there. He goes,
what are you guys doing? Howdo you find us? Probably are
Bluegle credentials? If I had toget probably so many people have been following
(12:03):
us around what's up, Saul?He says, did you have you have
you not seen the news? Didyou have anything to do with this?
I don't know what you're talking about. That's the right answer. Okay,
I'm coming in. And he closesthe door behind it, and he said
he said. He throws a paperand it shows a blinking and Nemeo arrested
(12:28):
trying to break into the law offices. He says, Okay, listen,
you just keep telling me you hadnothing to do with this. Okay,
it'll be okay. It's because Idid it, easy enough to do.
Yeah, But did the rest ofyou have anything to do with this?
What what happened? I promise youI had nothing to do with it?
(12:52):
He says, I believe you.Bentley just walks out of the room.
He's going to go do something thatI had to mind. Okay, bye,
Bentley. So he says, okay. So he says, I'm going
to just assume y'all had nothing todo with this, that this was just
a coincidence. And but we havea problem. The opposing counsel has requested
(13:13):
to have the deposition moved up becauseof this incursion. They don't believe that
they can keep all of the evidencesafe for long enough, and the court
just approved it. Okay, wego today. Okay, are you ready?
I mean fake until you make it. What does Richard say? It's
(13:37):
better to be cool and something.That's the gist of it every day,
Crystal, that's the spirit Okay,yeah, it isn't mantra. That's for
sure, better than spiritual than good, but it's best to be neither.
(14:00):
You have me the first half,damn it. Joey and Phoebe meme.
Oh yeah, all right. Soas y'all are discussing that, Uh,
Anthony sees Bentley in the whole way. Monsieur Bentley, Uh, where are
you headed? Do you need assistance? Oh no, I'll be fine.
Bentley's gonna head out and he wantsto go find somewhere that does like printing.
(14:22):
Okay, well, enjoy your enjoyyour day and let me know if
you need anything. I can't dothings, buddy. Okay, you didn't
want to ask him for like alocal print shop. That's a good idea.
You're not there. Bentley's got tofind it on his big boy.
He's going on a big boy himself. I can tell that Bentley has never
(14:45):
had concier service before. Yeah,definitely not. He's like, I'll just
look it up on my phone.Well, Bentley normally stays at like middle
of the middle of the road hotels, like not crappy, but like not
like it's like just nice enough whereyou have to pay for the y.
So we'll cut back to Saul andhe says, okay, they want to
(15:05):
meet at noon. Do you needto do anything before we go? She
looks at the rest of the teamand she's like, what do you think?
Could you give us a rundown onwhat we can expect in what like
the order of things is gonna be? Well, I can tell you they're
definitely gonna ask about the break in, because the circumstances seem very suspicious.
(15:28):
Well, easy enough, Yeah,that's okay. So what else? They're
gonna ask questions about Crystal's identity,They're gonna ask questions about her alleged multiple
attempts at discrediting the the plaintiff.Uh, They're gonna ask a lot of
(15:50):
questions about this disturbance and slandering ofproduct. Will the plaintiff be present?
I'm not certain. Hmmm, isthis a magical? It's weird deposition or
(16:12):
are they just asking us questions?Yeah? Are they going to put some
kind of spell on her? They'regoing to spike my drink? No,
they're not going to spike your drink. We're not animals. But is there
going to be like a truth somethingsomething? There is a possibility I would
not be consenting to that. It'sa violation of my privacy and my rights.
(16:32):
So I won't be considered. No, I'm saying I won't. So
if it lands me in prison,it lands me in prison. It's gross.
We've had too many things, toomany mind altering substances. While here,
I watched my friend who's not here, get you know something about a
sun drop? I don't know.I don't want to be drinking anything that
(16:56):
might cause me to be permanently impair. Oh no, they won't make you
drink anything. That would just beweird. So what they just spit it
at me? Like what are wetalking? No, it's just like a
magical aura sometimes. Oh but itwould be it's not common. I don't
trust these people, so all right, I don't trust anyone. So that's
(17:18):
fair. So we didn't do discoveryafter all, That's what I mean.
Do discovery. Oh so we swappedback and forth. Yeah, yeah,
so you were able to get someuseful information. So what I'm telling what
you're telling me, got a littlebit. Yeah, Okay, he explains
it to you. There's about fiftyboxes of evidence that they've entered into the
record. How many boxes have weentered? Define box? I don't know,
(17:41):
suscause I only had to I canonly provide what you gave me to
work with, so nothing. Iprovided the information you gave me. So
they do have the cell phone onthe list of evidence, but I don't
see how that's gonna help us.What if this Crystal could handle it?
Would they be all right for herto prove her identity by unlocking it?
(18:03):
I don't know. If I wasable to try and unlock it with a
complicated password, it would prove thatthe phone belongs to me, that would
be a tough sell. But we'llsee if the if the judge will will
allow it. Would she be ableto change the passcode if she could use
her face? I think we establishedthat she wouldn't know how to get into
the okay, like into the setting. Since she's clearly able to unlock it,
(18:29):
you know, Like why would shefeel the need to change in order
to change a pin code or apasca like that, you have to enter
the old Yeah, but she's soshe's already able to enter it and like
get your information out, though,So what would that prove other than that
because she can't change the password?Okay? So, and also if you
(18:52):
want to ask, could we guidetheir direction, like guide their questions to
asking me what's specifically on the phoneitself, like stuff that wouldn't be outside
of the phone data and information thatwould not be outside of it, that
would be stored there that I wouldquote unquote not have had access to before
coming onto this podcast. Right,we could possibly try that, but I'm
(19:18):
not sure what that'll get us,that'll prove it's mine. Okay, We'll
just have to give it a tryand see what happens. I mean,
do you have a strategy, SHLI really don't know what to do until
we get there. More of amore of a in the heat of the
moment kind of lawyer. That's supercomforting, honestly, TV. The book
(19:41):
on a wild card. If itworks, it works, which we have
yet to know. You don't knowif he's a good lawyer or not.
Wouldn't he be a good lawyer ifhe's working for bluegle good enough unless he's
that lawyer that they give to theemployees and contractors they don't super care about,
(20:03):
and not one of their courses.So they say that, I mean,
we did take down their main oppositionwith the orchard, so hopefully they
would have provided us with a decentlawyer. It's funny they show up like,
oh, by the way, we'regonna have to remove small from you.
Here's this other lay right, okay, you know? Okay, Well,
I guess I'm ready. Let meget dressed. Okay, So we
(20:26):
cut away to Bentley walking through thenice part of town. Oh yeah,
Bentley wants to look for two things. One a print shop. Okay,
I say that's easy enough to he'sgonna get something printed, Okay, It's
like right, and be like here, can you print this for me?
They look at it like, youmean like embroidery. I just need more
papers that look like this one.Oh oh okay, so you mean you
(20:48):
you when you say okay, Idon't know why I thought clothing. Look,
my brain's not fully functional today.Please bear with me. Yes,
you find a printing press, anduh, you find that prints like the
local papers and things. He says, uh, yes, what do you
what do you need? I needfifty of this exactly, and I like
show it to him. Okay,what is it? It's an IT ticket
(21:11):
format. Okay he says, uh, yeah, I could do. You
said fifty of these? Yeahty tensilver? Okay, I pay them in
ten silver. He says they'll beready this afternoon. All right, cool,
thank you. And then I wantto see if there is I'm going
to do the shopping thing again.Is there like a weapon shop anywhere around?
(21:33):
Like, oh yeah, definitely inthe nice part of town. Yeah.
I want to go and see ifthey have And since I got upgraded
armor, I want to see ifthey have an upgraded weapon, either axe
or a sword okay on one handedegs, I use both? All right.
So you do find a weapon shopand he's rather stout looking dwarf behind
the counter, and he says,good afternoon. What can I do for
(21:55):
you. I'm looking for something that'slike one of these, but better.
And I show him my like sorryto my axe. Oh. He says,
okay, you want one that's thatcuts better? You want one that
hits harder. Yes, either way, Oki dokie, so he says,
or just does something interesting. Imean this one I show him like sort
(22:17):
of like this one lit up withlike a holy fire. Ones that would
be cool. Oh okay, hereI got this one. This one's called
the moon Kissed scimitar. Does ithave the holy symbol of Tallist on it?
I mean, if you're paying itcan have whatever you want on it?
Sure? How much? Uh?This one would be four hundred gold.
Do you have a cool axe too? He says, now the axe?
(22:41):
I got this one. It's calledthe heavy ass axe. This one
doesn't have any plus to when youattack, but it does plus two damage.
Okay, yeah, how much forboth of them? Can you come
any deal on both? He said? For both? I could do seven
fifty deal. I just go aheadand pay him. Oh great, doing
(23:02):
business with y'all. Get these engravedup for you. They'll be ready this
afternoon. Cool, and that's allI wanted to do. All right.
So you arrive at Ironquiln Storm andSaul approach. She goes, all right,
Crystal, are you ready? Yougot you're composed? Yeah? I
think that she While she was atthe hotel, she basically requested help to
(23:23):
get dressed in the most professional waythat this world perceives. Okay, so
I honestly, you know, likewhen you go to depositions, you're supposed
to dress professionally or you know,no, need to take this offline,
overworked and underplayed. We'll circle backafter these messages. So, but she's
dressed. She intentionally dressed to professionalizeherself in this universe. Okay. So
(23:47):
she comes out in a very modernElven garb that almost looks like she's ready
to go down the runway. Mbeautiful. She's got her glasses, she's
got her big hat, she isdone up, and she for a split
second, each of you almost seeslike the Crystal you first met in the
(24:10):
boardroom. Wow, Crystal, youlook incredible. It's amazing what a night
sleep can do for the complexion.It works, it works. Yeah,
I know. That's what my anestysisalways tells me. Maybe I know him.
You probably do, okay, doctorSamuel Jones, I'd have to check.
(24:33):
Okay, Well, anyway, let'sget let's get this show on the
road, all right. Uh couldshe give a should we give you a
pep talk or something? Yeah?I mean like I feel pretty good.
But Bentley, are you going towhere it's of affirmation? Okay, So
(24:55):
Bentley's like actually already there waiting foryou guys. When you when you show
up a the law office, Billy, when did you leave the hotel?
We're going tonight going. I thoughtyou were still I thought you were still
eating breakfast. Anyway, what it'snot an insult. I just ordered everybody
(25:19):
breakfast, and some people wanted totake their time. I wanted to you
ordered everybody breakfast. It's probably onBentley's to have location. It's just again,
we're at the So you step inand they guide you back to the
room and they seat you across thetable from the other law council and you
(25:44):
see thorn iron Quill does not appearto be there sitting across the table.
Is only aerial storm. Oh where'sthorny, mister iron Quill? Yeah,
he felt a little ill this morning, probably related to the break in we
(26:07):
had last night. You got abreak in? Yes, is rather convenient.
Someone was trying to steal something fromour secure evidence area. Well,
I can imagine that you guys arein such high profile. You know,
probably a lot of people are outto get you and your company. I
would imagine you'd be surprised. Iimagine no, I wouldn't. Actually as
(26:30):
many enemies and such, most aren'tto try to break into our secure area.
That's really awesome that you guys havesuch great security. That's true.
Wow. Wow, We'll hope hegets to feeling sorry? Is there an
echo Richard? Why is she getRichard just to make him feel uncomfortable?
(26:53):
I feel like it's pretty hard tomake Richard feel unomfortable. Wait, sir,
are we all in this room?I thought, yep, Okay,
yeah, no, he's like okay. I thought this was like you're saying
an interview one on one thing theroom. Not yet, I mean,
probably not at all. All ofyou take your seat, and you see
as there are there are three closedboxes on the table, and she has
(27:18):
several crystals in front of her.She said, just so you know,
for this deposition you will be recorded. Your presence here is required per the
court, but you may in thesession if you choose, and if you
do so, you know we willhave to proceed with the the full scale
trial. Okay. And crystals justlooking at her nails, okay, can
(27:41):
we assume I hate to butt inhere. It does this mean you're you
are also being recorded? This isn'tjust the only user being recorded, and
we'll also be able to have thatrecording when this is done. Your lawyer
is welcome to record whatever they choose. So so all kind of looks and
he goes, I didn't bring acrystal? Could we please have a crystal?
(28:04):
I'm sorry, I'm not required tooffer those for your charge. So
I find you have when we couldbuy though? Well, okay, So
I find this interesting because if thisis going to be utilized in a court
of law against us, then weshould have a transcript of this recording because
this is going to be entered intoevidence if you're going to pursue legal action
against us. So I don't understandwhy we wouldn't be privy to the recording
(28:29):
that is made during this session.You see, she says, you make
an interesting point. I'm sure wecould provide you with a copy after we're
done here. Yeah, unredacted,I'm assuming right, of course. Okay,
can I tell if they're lying?You can try to make an insight
(28:49):
check. Okay, I'll try totake some notes to Crystal. I'm pretty
good medical school. I feel likeyou've probably had to do a lot of
like no taking in your time,have been shit lately? Oh that's a
twenty nice she's not lying. Okay, Well cool, Thank you so much
for your compliance in my request.Okay, now can we begin? Okay,
(29:14):
first one who ask you a feweasy questions? Okay? Can I
cast a tect magic while we're inhere? Sure the stones detect is magical?
Okay? And then there is oneobject that detects vaguely magical in the
evidence boxes. Okay, she says, according to your profile in the bluegal
(29:38):
terminal system, is your legal nameCrystal two point zero? When you stay
a legal term? Are we requiringit to be something that was forced on
us unconsensually, or are we talkingabout the name that we came into this
world with. I'm I only askedwhat name is on her birth certificate?
(30:02):
Is on? What name is onmy birth certificate? I don't know what
a birth certificate is. That's interestingthat this world doesn't have birth certificate.
I don't think they know what thelaw is? Then? Just kidding how
many retracts Earth law? At leastso I can confidently state that legally in
my world where I am from.My name is Crystal. So you're saying
(30:27):
you're not from this world. Yes, I am saying that this was never
a secret and it was never hidden. So tell me tell me about this
place that you say you're from.What relevance does this have? Just just
establishing background? Okay, it wasa world much like this one. Well,
(30:52):
I did have corporations. I'm sorry, Marjorie, there is capitalism,
so I can confirm that we dohave that system of government because that's is
a governmental system and you cannot makeone. So yeah, okay, interesting.
Interesting, So you're not from here, not from La Ron. Now
(31:15):
clearly established you you believe you're fromanother world. Believe I think you're trivializing
my statement alone. I've been there. I would never trivialize yourself. You
would never. I would never.What's her name again, Ariel? Really?
Ariel? You can call me missStorm. No, I won't be
doing that, but that's great thatyou want me to. Okay, So
(31:37):
when did you first arrive here inthis world that's different from the one that
you claim to be from. Iactually don't know how long has it been?
Three months? It could have beenthree months or three years. I
really couldn't tell you. With theway time passes in this realm, I
(31:59):
I honestly do not know the answerto that question. Okay, so you're
unsure how long you've been here?That is correct? Okay, he's typing
and it's making me very nervous.Richard or Marjorie or anybody know how long?
(32:19):
I think it's been about three anda half weeks. Three and a
half weeks, I think so,right almost, because we have three months
total in our contract, correct,I think you're about a month in a
month in Okay, I have noidea. I think I can honestly say
that this is not a lie.I think it. I think because we
had the longest stretch of time wedidn't play was when that bridge was out
(32:44):
or whatever. Well, there wasalso that time when we were in the
under dark, and like time passeddifferently for yeah, exactly, there is
no way to know. Okay,So I have no idea. Also,
do we have months, days,and years in this realm? Yes?
Are they all called the same?Yes? So here's my cop out answer
to that. I'm gonna use theStar Trek answer, which is that there's
(33:07):
a universal translator that is translating daysand years into what you would understand.
And and so I'm only doing thatbecause I'm not coming up with a whole
new calendar system because I will spendway too much time on it. You
don't have to, like you guys, ask me for that, and the
(33:28):
next time, like we play,you'll have like a chart with like when
the different tides are and like whatleap years look like in a in a
system where you have two moons,like don't even get me started, all
right, Okay, so you're unsurehow long you've been here? Do you
remember when you made you tried tomake your first attempted sale of your claimed
(33:53):
product? No? Have you attemptedto make a sale? No? Okay,
so let's go back a little bit. What is your occupation. I
am the owner of an MLM.Okay, and what is the name of
the MLM. It is Crystal,which is my name in combination with the
(34:19):
stated goal of the products that Icreate, which is clarity. So it's
called Crystal Clarity. Interesting, Okay, with the K it is not the
church. I did not make areligion, unlike somebody. Uh how long?
Or let's say, what is yourrelationship with Uh, the person known
(34:46):
as Aiden montiac Who's that? Soyou're saying you don't know him? I
actually don't. Okay, all right, let's see. Can you just talk
(35:06):
that's Captain Montiacu. Because we're inthe room with you right like we are
hearing this line of questioning. Yes, Saul leans ever goes, You're doing
great. It surprises me that there'snot a zone of truth here, can
you Well, a lawyer would notwant to be inside of a z They
would crumb. Every single one ofthem would crumble to pieces. They would
(35:27):
they would evaporate into They just haveto not lie. They don't have to
tell the truth. I actually don'tknow the person, So it is not
a lie. Zoot doesn't have tohave the lawyers, and they could just
be the judge and the person beinginterviewed. The lawyer is the one interviewing
the person during a deposition. Soshe said, so, just to jog
(35:49):
your memory a little bit of AidenMontyak is the proprietor of a particular bar
in the Seafares area known as theCrow's Nest. Oh is that what his
name is? Oh? Okay,so you do know him? Not really?
I mean I probably stayed there,and his name has come up,
but I really wasn't paying attention toanything he has done. Have you attempted
(36:13):
to use his bar as a recruitmentground for your company, Crystal Clarity?
I think maybe one time. I'mtrying to remember. I've been a little
busy in this whole universe slash world, basically trying to survive the horrors that
(36:36):
this place comes with, so Icannot confirm with certainty that I actually did
do that. Okay, Can youdescribe in detail the events leading up to
the seizure of Church of Clarity propertyfrom the Atheneum bookstore? Oh you mean
(37:05):
the free samples? Yes, wellthey were free samples. Did you take
the free samples to try them orto keep people from trying them? I
took the free samples, So you'vetaken all of the samples. You've used
them all by now, totally,I think so. Maybe I honestly don't
(37:28):
remember what I did with them.I did take them from the location because
they were free, but I didn'tsell them, and I maybe I poured
them out, but also that's stillnot illegal since they're free. So no,
I didn't say anything about them beingwhat you did being illegal or not.
(37:51):
Your insinuation is that I did dosomething illegal. So, but if
you poured them out, was thepurpose of pouring them out to prevent others
from being able to sample that product? I think stopping the spread of misinformation
is not a crime. So youbelieved that the free samples were misinformation?
(38:13):
I think they were a terrible reconstructionof a product that already existed. Uh.
I have here also about witness accountsof you attempting to scry to some
supporters of yours, claiming that theproducts were counterfeit scry. Yes, you
(38:34):
were scrying to I have here yourboss babes. I'm sorry, Marcel's losing
shit. Oh my god, didthat actually work? That was into a
rock? That was the rock?Yeah? Talking about you did your boss
babe thing into the rock? Oh, the iconic recap that you did?
(38:57):
Oh, I forgotten all about that. I love that Barcel remembered it exactly
right. Of course we did.It was amazing. So I don't really
know what scrying is, so Icannot confirm whether or not I attempted to
do that. Here, I'll helpyou. Oh you were Uh you are
(39:19):
a known magic user? Correct?Yes, I can do magic. Yes,
right, you were holding an inanimateobject speaking into it. Well,
that wasn't an inanimate object. Yousee as as Ariel like kind of scans
over the rest of you to seeyour reactions. It's there, you know,
backup phone. Yeah, oh excuseme? What a phone? Her
(39:44):
backup phone. But I'll let Chriswill go back to it. Sorry I
interrupted. It was my backup,your backup, right, So this is
a backup scrying device. Again,Scrying makes communicating long distances, is trying
to peer into the infinite with magic. Did you know that that's not actually
(40:05):
what I was doing. Why don'tyou tell me what you were doing?
I don't actually have to tell you. Yeah it sauls like, yeah,
don't do that. This sounds reallybad for us. Yeah. I don't
see how that's relevant to the case. So you don't want to answer this
question. I'm asking how it's relevant. Uh. So we have here of
(40:28):
witness testimony of you speaking into ascrying device and trying to discredit the Church
of Clarity, calling their products counterfeit, and trying to summon your army of
boss babes to go and destroy andtake this. I guess what I'm asking
(40:50):
as a turn to put this backto you in a way that I can
understand. I would like for youto is the Church of Clarity and non
profit organization? I don't see howthat question is relevant. Ah hey,
so uh yeah? Uh yeah?Is the is the Where are you going
(41:14):
with this, Crystal? I don'tunderstand your line of question. Are they
making a profit from the goods they'reselling? Of course they're making a profit.
Why would they sell things? Okay, so how can they be a
church and have a profit? Uh? Churches? Churches do have profits.
Uh huh okay, I'm sorry.When can we be done? Nudge Saw
(41:39):
and ask him a question? Yeah, what do you want? Hey?
Saw? The uh? The lawreal quick intent and practicing things like if
she did something like that's a practice, but she didn't actually commit a crime,
can that be held against her?I mean it depends, but most
of the time no. Al Right, So if we just show her the
(42:00):
actual rock that's not a scrying device, we can just say that, you
know, Crystal was practicing a speech. She didn't actually commit a crime,
she was just practicing. That mightwork. We might, you know,
honestly, we might be able toget her out of this with like a
plea of insanity at this point justfrom what I've what I've heard, not
(42:20):
quite what I was going for,But I just would like an answer to
the question of if you're selling aproduct and you're a church, like there's
no law that prevents the church fromturning a profit. That's really interesting.
This world is crazy. They paytaxes just like everyone else. What okay,
(42:44):
really cool? Would you like tosee the device in question? Out
your scrying device. You're gonna showme how you summoned your army of boss
babes, Like, uh, isthat we have here Janet and Kim?
Yeah, but there I wouldn't considerwould you guys consider it an army?
I don't think they have weapons,so no, I wouldn't consider it an
(43:06):
army either. But here is thedevice. But this is the group that
you instructed to go and take goodsout, and so I'm telling you right
now, here is the device.Okay. And she takes out the cell
phone shaped rock that she has andshe hands it to so as you Mermaid,
(43:31):
as you as you hand it toAriel, Saul leans over goes,
So is it really just a rock? Like to Richard He's like, yeah,
we can talk about it later thatshe it wasn't doing anything her mental
health and be like is the salhe's He's like, oh boy, okay,
(43:54):
yes, So as you can see, Ariel, my client didn't do
any She was talking to an inanimateobject like any person might do who has
been under a lot of stress andis in a strange new place and maybe
maybe isn't all there at the timeat the time, Yes, temporary insanity.
(44:20):
Crystal likes it. She likes thetemporary part. She doesn't want to
be institutionalized, but she'll take advantageof basically anything. Ariel looks and she
goes, well, this is quaint. We'll make a note of this for
evidence and make sure this is admitted. Okay, so you claim to be
the founder or owner of this CrystalClarity, Do you have any proof of
(44:45):
that? I do, actually,but unfortunately it's not with me right now.
See convenient, I know. Isn'tit convenient that your bitch isn't here
either? But we all have tolive with hard truths. We live with
(45:07):
hard truths, and just because thedocumentation is not here doesn't mean that,
just like my birth certificate, itisn't real. You keep talking about this
birth certificate thing. I don't evenknow what that is, so let's continue
on. Funnily enough, there's apicture of it on my phone, not
(45:28):
my phone, obviously Crystal phone.And so it's funny that because she probably
would know what a birth certificate is. Did you have anything to do with
the break in that occurred the othernight? I did not. Hmm,
(45:51):
you did not. I did not. Interesting choice of words. I don't
know how that's interesting. Are youfamiliar with a gob Blenn by the name
of Nemeo. She's like racking herbrain because she just does not pick up
names of people that aren't potential targets, like I'm trying to if they're not
(46:17):
in her downline. She doesn't knowwho that exactly. She knows his name
and he's definitely not in her downline, doesn't know it, but he
is. She only lets she knowsthe squad thinks they're in charge, and
she's okay, well what happened.I feel like I've heard the name and
(46:39):
I probably came across them. Ifeel like, did you guys hear that
name at the Crow's Nest? Ithink we heard it at the Fountainhead Fountainhead.
Yeah, I think so. Maybethe name sounds familiar, but also
we've been encountering a ton of newsand a ton of new faces in the
(47:01):
past. However much time it hasbeen since we arrived in this god forsaken
hell hole of a universe, andI couldn't confirm or really even deny that
I know this person. Well,that's interesting. He had a lot more
to say about all of you.That's so awesome. People know who I
(47:21):
am. I'm so shocked. Allright, So that's your official statement on
your your relationship with the Goblin nemeo. Yeah. Does anyone else wants to
add something to the record? Whywhy would they? So? Like it
(47:43):
starts nodding to all of you tolike just not say anything. I'm this
is out a character. I'm Juliewondering why we would because no sued.
So she says, Okay, well, I guess if there's a If that's
all, then we're done here.Well, it was awesome meeting you Ariel
(48:05):
again. For the was it asecond time? Second? Third time?
I have ever many times? Youdo have a forgetful face, so forgive
me if I can't remember. Havea great day. She just walks out,
so wait to be dismissed. Asyou start to get up, the
door opens and you see thorn Ironquillwalk in and he says, unfortunately,

to have dinner with? What up? Bitsy boy? Marcel Hardy playing Richard
Cox, a human consultant turned halflingbard who holy believes it's better to be
(02:40):
lucky than good, but it's bestto be both. And the historical figure
that Richard would like to have dinnerwith is George Washington Carver because he grew
up thinking that he was the personwho invented peanut butter, and he really
loves peanut butter. But as hegot older and started doing more research,
he realizes like it was more aboutlike sustainable things out crops, so it's
not just cotton and things like that, and so he's like, you know,
(03:04):
that's actually a pretty legit cause too, so I'd still want to have
dinner with him. Hello, myname is Annelin Hardy, and I play
Taylor Jacobs, a centaur barbarian witha heart of gold who got very frustrated
side and can't believe that doctor dis such a dick. Who knew?
But now we know what the Dstands for? Yeah, we do.
It's doctor doctor Turgent. Obviously youdon't doctor Dick Terrian. So the historical
(03:28):
figure that Taylor wants to have dinnerwith is Serena Williams. She's one more
Grand Slam singles than any other womanor man during the Open era in tennis,
and she just has the most amazingwork ethic, so she really does
a really good one. Okay,So hi everyone, I'm Katie and I
(03:50):
play Crystal the dra Druid with hervery own MLM Crystal Clarity. And the
person that she would like to havedinner with is doctor Carr Renborg. I
want to say it's either ron Borgor Rehnborg, it doesn't matter. He
is the founder of the first MLM, so she would like to pick his
(04:13):
brain about all of the strategizing thathe had to come up with in order
to develop such a great platform formaking money. Jax, Yeah that's tracks.
Hey, I'm Marjorie. I playAmy and Amanda, a basic,
b repent tumble human fighter with afreshly minted dentistry degree. Hmmm, probably
doctor Jean Luke Picard, the inventorof dentistry. Oh yeah, crowd,

All right, so when we lastleft off, you guys had made
it to an actually decent hotel.Nice. It's a little bit more than
decent considering how much it costs.Yes, Uh, you guys laid down
(06:15):
in the comfiest beds you've felt,I would say since you've gotten here,
but some of these beds might bemore comfy than the beds you're used to
at home. Would you say it'san inspirational sleep? Because we've just talked
about Baldersgate. Can we all justlike sigh after we've done our first long
(06:36):
rest at this hotel? Sure?Because that's what they all. You all
just sigh like a I don't know, depend on much voice you choose.
Sometimes it sounds more orgasmy No,y'all all sigh, and then you just
hear Bentley in the back snoring.So you all wake up very refreshed.
(07:00):
In fact, you all wake upso like refreshed that you all get a
plus two TOKENO. Now, thisplus two token can be used at any
time before your next long rest andit's just a flat add to to a
roll anytime you any d twenty rollnot like damage rolls. Okay, I
(07:24):
would like to order breakfast. Okay, So she just wants to order breakfast
as a platter for the room.Okay, so you, says Antony comes
to the door. Yes, youuh were asking about breakfastt Yes, I
would like a whole breakfast, spreadthe works. This is all inclusive,
(07:46):
right, so it just we weyes right away? What time is it?
And what time is your appointment withthe law offices? Oh? I
forgot about that. My time ischeckout. Because Ben has made it very
clear he does not want to payfor a second second night, and I
certainly don't want to pay for thesecond day. We can totally just all
chip in ten gold and stay anothernight if we really wanted to. True
(08:13):
also still want can we ask forlate checkout? When he comes back with
breakfast, he basically explains that latecheckout is basically the same price as the
second day. Okay, so whattime is checkout? He says, in
about an hour? Damn can't goto the spa. Why don't we all
(08:33):
just chip in ten gold and staythe other night. I mean, I'm
fine with them. Yeah, that'sfine. I owe you. Yeah,
he says, no need to paynow. You can clear up with the
front desk when you leave, hesays, we will keep a tab open.
Your credentials could get really expensive.Your credentials came through and your you
(09:00):
are cleared for just as long asyou would like to stay. Okay,
well thanks blugle. Oh no,they saw Bentley's bank account. They were
like, oh, yeah, hecan stay here as long as all right.
But after so breakfast gets to thegets to the room. It's a
(09:24):
nice spread of different kinds of meatsand eggs prepared different ways, breads,
toasts, cinnamon rolls, jams.No cinnamon rolls. Damn, there's a
place of heathens. Is there?French toast? There is some kind of
toast that appears to have been dippedin eggs and then like covered with powdered
sugar. Yes, okay, that'swhat that's what Bentley's Syrup and jelly and
(09:50):
jam perfect. I mean I wouldalmost prefer syrup, jelly and jam over
sounds we're eating breakfasts, so andnow that we've had a night to kind
of recuperate and kind of collect ourthoughts, I don't like what this bodes
for us. Like, if thisasshole has been here as long as he's
(10:11):
making it seem maybe the only wayto get home is with these stupid artifacts.
Maybe we really do needlogo. Heseems pretty desperate to try anything,
so I have a hard time believinghe hasn't tried everything else already. Oh
oh, to Like, so youthink we need to talk to d'artagnian again.
No, no, no, I'msaying, like you know, we
were trying to find a way thatdidn't involve blugle. I'm thinking maybe we
(10:33):
say ourselves sometimes and not try todo that. Oh okay, I mean,
as long as we're working with FizzleBang, I think we'll be fine.
That was If Fizzle Bang goes toa different company, then I guess
we'll just have to Fizzle Bang.I wonder if there's a referral bonus we
can split, right, So thatwas one thing that I was wondering as
well. In a little bit ofa different way, I guess we should
(10:56):
probably tell Matt Damon and and doctorfizzle Bang what we've expected. We might
need a little more security going intothis next je Fizzle Bang was kind of
tossing it off. You know,we mentioned this whole thing, but I
don't know that they know quite howserious exactly this is. And if they
do, then they're just even biggerassholes. Well that's corporate for you.
But hopefully that's valuable information for them. And then I think that we could
(11:20):
use that as a bargaining tactic toget a more competitives out. So what
all do we have to do today? We want to go talk to Bluegle.
We need Mimeo out potentially, Yeah, Crystal has to go to so
I guess we need to split theparty, I think. So okay,
So as you're all discussing this,there's a loud bang at the door.
(11:41):
Crystal, you better be in there. That's rude, chill out, and
she like walks to the door andopens it. He didn't say, Crystal
too. Open the door, andyou see Saul standing there. He goes,
what are you guys doing? Howdo you find us? Probably are
Bluegle credentials? If I had toget probably so many people have been following
(12:03):
us around what's up, Saul?He says, did you have you have
you not seen the news? Didyou have anything to do with this?
I don't know what you're talking about. That's the right answer. Okay,
I'm coming in. And he closesthe door behind it, and he said
he said. He throws a paperand it shows a blinking and Nemeo arrested
(12:28):
trying to break into the law offices. He says, Okay, listen,
you just keep telling me you hadnothing to do with this. Okay,
it'll be okay. It's because Idid it, easy enough to do.
Yeah, But did the rest ofyou have anything to do with this?
What what happened? I promise youI had nothing to do with it?
(12:52):
He says, I believe you.Bentley just walks out of the room.
He's going to go do something thatI had to mind. Okay, bye,
Bentley. So he says, okay. So he says, I'm going
to just assume y'all had nothing todo with this, that this was just
a coincidence. And but we havea problem. The opposing counsel has requested
(13:13):
to have the deposition moved up becauseof this incursion. They don't believe that
they can keep all of the evidencesafe for long enough, and the court
just approved it. Okay, wego today. Okay, are you ready?
I mean fake until you make it. What does Richard say? It's
(13:37):
better to be cool and something.That's the gist of it every day,
Crystal, that's the spirit Okay,yeah, it isn't mantra. That's for
sure, better than spiritual than good, but it's best to be neither.
(14:00):
You have me the first half,damn it. Joey and Phoebe meme.
Oh yeah, all right. Soas y'all are discussing that, Uh,
Anthony sees Bentley in the whole way. Monsieur Bentley, Uh, where are
you headed? Do you need assistance? Oh no, I'll be fine.
Bentley's gonna head out and he wantsto go find somewhere that does like printing.
(14:22):
Okay, well, enjoy your enjoyyour day and let me know if
you need anything. I can't dothings, buddy. Okay, you didn't
want to ask him for like alocal print shop. That's a good idea.
You're not there. Bentley's got tofind it on his big boy.
He's going on a big boy himself. I can tell that Bentley has never
(14:45):
had concier service before. Yeah,definitely not. He's like, I'll just
look it up on my phone.Well, Bentley normally stays at like middle
of the middle of the road hotels, like not crappy, but like not
like it's like just nice enough whereyou have to pay for the y.
So we'll cut back to Saul andhe says, okay, they want to
(15:05):
meet at noon. Do you needto do anything before we go? She
looks at the rest of the teamand she's like, what do you think?
Could you give us a rundown onwhat we can expect in what like
the order of things is gonna be? Well, I can tell you they're
definitely gonna ask about the break in, because the circumstances seem very suspicious.
(15:28):
Well, easy enough, Yeah,that's okay. So what else? They're
gonna ask questions about Crystal's identity,They're gonna ask questions about her alleged multiple
attempts at discrediting the the plaintiff.Uh, They're gonna ask a lot of
(15:50):
questions about this disturbance and slandering ofproduct. Will the plaintiff be present?
I'm not certain. Hmmm, isthis a magical? It's weird deposition or
(16:12):
are they just asking us questions?Yeah? Are they going to put some
kind of spell on her? They'regoing to spike my drink? No,
they're not going to spike your drink. We're not animals. But is there
going to be like a truth somethingsomething? There is a possibility I would
not be consenting to that. It'sa violation of my privacy and my rights.
(16:32):
So I won't be considered. No, I'm saying I won't. So
if it lands me in prison,it lands me in prison. It's gross.
We've had too many things, toomany mind altering substances. While here,
I watched my friend who's not here, get you know something about a
sun drop? I don't know.I don't want to be drinking anything that
(16:56):
might cause me to be permanently impair. Oh no, they won't make you
drink anything. That would just beweird. So what they just spit it
at me? Like what are wetalking? No, it's just like a
magical aura sometimes. Oh but itwould be it's not common. I don't
trust these people, so all right, I don't trust anyone. So that's
(17:18):
fair. So we didn't do discoveryafter all, That's what I mean.
Do discovery. Oh so we swappedback and forth. Yeah, yeah,
so you were able to get someuseful information. So what I'm telling what
you're telling me, got a littlebit. Yeah, Okay, he explains
it to you. There's about fiftyboxes of evidence that they've entered into the
record. How many boxes have weentered? Define box? I don't know,
(17:41):
suscause I only had to I canonly provide what you gave me to
work with, so nothing. Iprovided the information you gave me. So
they do have the cell phone onthe list of evidence, but I don't
see how that's gonna help us.What if this Crystal could handle it?
Would they be all right for herto prove her identity by unlocking it?
(18:03):
I don't know. If I wasable to try and unlock it with a
complicated password, it would prove thatthe phone belongs to me, that would
be a tough sell. But we'llsee if the if the judge will will
allow it. Would she be ableto change the passcode if she could use
her face? I think we establishedthat she wouldn't know how to get into
the okay, like into the setting. Since she's clearly able to unlock it,
(18:29):
you know, Like why would shefeel the need to change in order
to change a pin code or apasca like that, you have to enter
the old Yeah, but she's soshe's already able to enter it and like
get your information out, though,So what would that prove other than that
because she can't change the password?Okay? So, and also if you
(18:52):
want to ask, could we guidetheir direction, like guide their questions to
asking me what's specifically on the phoneitself, like stuff that wouldn't be outside
of the phone data and information thatwould not be outside of it, that
would be stored there that I wouldquote unquote not have had access to before
coming onto this podcast. Right,we could possibly try that, but I'm
(19:18):
not sure what that'll get us,that'll prove it's mine. Okay, We'll
just have to give it a tryand see what happens. I mean,
do you have a strategy, SHLI really don't know what to do until
we get there. More of amore of a in the heat of the
moment kind of lawyer. That's supercomforting, honestly, TV. The book
(19:41):
on a wild card. If itworks, it works, which we have
yet to know. You don't knowif he's a good lawyer or not.
Wouldn't he be a good lawyer ifhe's working for bluegle good enough unless he's
that lawyer that they give to theemployees and contractors they don't super care about,
(20:03):
and not one of their courses.So they say that, I mean,
we did take down their main oppositionwith the orchard, so hopefully they
would have provided us with a decentlawyer. It's funny they show up like,
oh, by the way, we'regonna have to remove small from you.
Here's this other lay right, okay, you know? Okay, Well,
I guess I'm ready. Let meget dressed. Okay, So we
(20:26):
cut away to Bentley walking through thenice part of town. Oh yeah,
Bentley wants to look for two things. One a print shop. Okay,
I say that's easy enough to he'sgonna get something printed, Okay, It's
like right, and be like here, can you print this for me?
They look at it like, youmean like embroidery. I just need more
papers that look like this one.Oh oh okay, so you mean you
(20:48):
you when you say okay, Idon't know why I thought clothing. Look,
my brain's not fully functional today.Please bear with me. Yes,
you find a printing press, anduh, you find that prints like the
local papers and things. He says, uh, yes, what do you
what do you need? I needfifty of this exactly, and I like
show it to him. Okay,what is it? It's an IT ticket
(21:11):
format. Okay he says, uh, yeah, I could do. You
said fifty of these? Yeahty tensilver? Okay, I pay them in
ten silver. He says they'll beready this afternoon. All right, cool,
thank you. And then I wantto see if there is I'm going
to do the shopping thing again.Is there like a weapon shop anywhere around?
(21:33):
Like, oh yeah, definitely inthe nice part of town. Yeah.
I want to go and see ifthey have And since I got upgraded
armor, I want to see ifthey have an upgraded weapon, either axe
or a sword okay on one handedegs, I use both? All right.
So you do find a weapon shopand he's rather stout looking dwarf behind
the counter, and he says,good afternoon. What can I do for
(21:55):
you. I'm looking for something that'slike one of these, but better.
And I show him my like sorryto my axe. Oh. He says,
okay, you want one that's thatcuts better? You want one that
hits harder. Yes, either way, Oki dokie, so he says,
or just does something interesting. Imean this one I show him like sort
(22:17):
of like this one lit up withlike a holy fire. Ones that would
be cool. Oh okay, hereI got this one. This one's called
the moon Kissed scimitar. Does ithave the holy symbol of Tallist on it?
I mean, if you're paying itcan have whatever you want on it?
Sure? How much? Uh?This one would be four hundred gold.
Do you have a cool axe too? He says, now the axe?
(22:41):
I got this one. It's calledthe heavy ass axe. This one
doesn't have any plus to when youattack, but it does plus two damage.
Okay, yeah, how much forboth of them? Can you come
any deal on both? He said? For both? I could do seven
fifty deal. I just go aheadand pay him. Oh great, doing
(23:02):
business with y'all. Get these engravedup for you. They'll be ready this
afternoon. Cool, and that's allI wanted to do. All right.
So you arrive at Ironquiln Storm andSaul approach. She goes, all right,
Crystal, are you ready? Yougot you're composed? Yeah? I
think that she While she was atthe hotel, she basically requested help to
(23:23):
get dressed in the most professional waythat this world perceives. Okay, so
I honestly, you know, likewhen you go to depositions, you're supposed
to dress professionally or you know,no, need to take this offline,
overworked and underplayed. We'll circle backafter these messages. So, but she's
dressed. She intentionally dressed to professionalizeherself in this universe. Okay. So
(23:47):
she comes out in a very modernElven garb that almost looks like she's ready
to go down the runway. Mbeautiful. She's got her glasses, she's
got her big hat, she isdone up, and she for a split
second, each of you almost seeslike the Crystal you first met in the
(24:10):
boardroom. Wow, Crystal, youlook incredible. It's amazing what a night
sleep can do for the complexion.It works, it works. Yeah,
I know. That's what my anestysisalways tells me. Maybe I know him.
You probably do, okay, doctorSamuel Jones, I'd have to check.
(24:33):
Okay, Well, anyway, let'sget let's get this show on the
road, all right. Uh couldshe give a should we give you a
pep talk or something? Yeah?I mean like I feel pretty good.
But Bentley, are you going towhere it's of affirmation? Okay, So
(24:55):
Bentley's like actually already there waiting foryou guys. When you when you show
up a the law office, Billy, when did you leave the hotel?
We're going tonight going. I thoughtyou were still I thought you were still
eating breakfast. Anyway, what it'snot an insult. I just ordered everybody
(25:19):
breakfast, and some people wanted totake their time. I wanted to you
ordered everybody breakfast. It's probably onBentley's to have location. It's just again,
we're at the So you step inand they guide you back to the
room and they seat you across thetable from the other law council and you
(25:44):
see thorn iron Quill does not appearto be there sitting across the table.
Is only aerial storm. Oh where'sthorny, mister iron Quill? Yeah,
he felt a little ill this morning, probably related to the break in we
(26:07):
had last night. You got abreak in? Yes, is rather convenient.
Someone was trying to steal something fromour secure evidence area. Well,
I can imagine that you guys arein such high profile. You know,
probably a lot of people are outto get you and your company. I
would imagine you'd be surprised. Iimagine no, I wouldn't. Actually as
(26:30):
many enemies and such, most aren'tto try to break into our secure area.
That's really awesome that you guys havesuch great security. That's true.
Wow. Wow, We'll hope hegets to feeling sorry? Is there an
echo Richard? Why is she getRichard just to make him feel uncomfortable?
(26:53):
I feel like it's pretty hard tomake Richard feel unomfortable. Wait, sir,
are we all in this room?I thought, yep, Okay,
yeah, no, he's like okay. I thought this was like you're saying
an interview one on one thing theroom. Not yet, I mean,
probably not at all. All ofyou take your seat, and you see
as there are there are three closedboxes on the table, and she has
(27:18):
several crystals in front of her.She said, just so you know,
for this deposition you will be recorded. Your presence here is required per the
court, but you may in thesession if you choose, and if you
do so, you know we willhave to proceed with the the full scale
trial. Okay. And crystals justlooking at her nails, okay, can
(27:41):
we assume I hate to butt inhere. It does this mean you're you
are also being recorded? This isn'tjust the only user being recorded, and
we'll also be able to have thatrecording when this is done. Your lawyer
is welcome to record whatever they choose. So so all kind of looks and
he goes, I didn't bring acrystal? Could we please have a crystal?
(28:04):
I'm sorry, I'm not required tooffer those for your charge. So
I find you have when we couldbuy though? Well, okay, So
I find this interesting because if thisis going to be utilized in a court
of law against us, then weshould have a transcript of this recording because
this is going to be entered intoevidence if you're going to pursue legal action
against us. So I don't understandwhy we wouldn't be privy to the recording
(28:29):
that is made during this session.You see, she says, you make
an interesting point. I'm sure wecould provide you with a copy after we're
done here. Yeah, unredacted,I'm assuming right, of course. Okay,
can I tell if they're lying?You can try to make an insight
(28:49):
check. Okay, I'll try totake some notes to Crystal. I'm pretty
good medical school. I feel likeyou've probably had to do a lot of
like no taking in your time,have been shit lately? Oh that's a
twenty nice she's not lying. Okay, Well cool, Thank you so much
for your compliance in my request.Okay, now can we begin? Okay,
(29:14):
first one who ask you a feweasy questions? Okay? Can I
cast a tect magic while we're inhere? Sure the stones detect is magical?
Okay? And then there is oneobject that detects vaguely magical in the
evidence boxes. Okay, she says, according to your profile in the bluegal
(29:38):
terminal system, is your legal nameCrystal two point zero? When you stay
a legal term? Are we requiringit to be something that was forced on
us unconsensually, or are we talkingabout the name that we came into this
world with. I'm I only askedwhat name is on her birth certificate?
(30:02):
Is on? What name is onmy birth certificate? I don't know what
a birth certificate is. That's interestingthat this world doesn't have birth certificate.
I don't think they know what thelaw is? Then? Just kidding how
many retracts Earth law? At leastso I can confidently state that legally in
my world where I am from.My name is Crystal. So you're saying
(30:27):
you're not from this world. Yes, I am saying that this was never
a secret and it was never hidden. So tell me tell me about this
place that you say you're from.What relevance does this have? Just just
establishing background? Okay, it wasa world much like this one. Well,
(30:52):
I did have corporations. I'm sorry, Marjorie, there is capitalism,
so I can confirm that we dohave that system of government because that's is
a governmental system and you cannot makeone. So yeah, okay, interesting.
Interesting, So you're not from here, not from La Ron. Now
(31:15):
clearly established you you believe you're fromanother world. Believe I think you're trivializing
my statement alone. I've been there. I would never trivialize yourself. You
would never. I would never.What's her name again, Ariel? Really?
Ariel? You can call me missStorm. No, I won't be
doing that, but that's great thatyou want me to. Okay, So
(31:37):
when did you first arrive here inthis world that's different from the one that
you claim to be from. Iactually don't know how long has it been?
Three months? It could have beenthree months or three years. I
really couldn't tell you. With theway time passes in this realm, I
(31:59):
I honestly do not know the answerto that question. Okay, so you're
unsure how long you've been here?That is correct? Okay, he's typing
and it's making me very nervous.Richard or Marjorie or anybody know how long?
(32:19):
I think it's been about three anda half weeks. Three and a
half weeks, I think so,right almost, because we have three months
total in our contract, correct,I think you're about a month in a
month in Okay, I have noidea. I think I can honestly say
that this is not a lie.I think it. I think because we
had the longest stretch of time wedidn't play was when that bridge was out
(32:44):
or whatever. Well, there wasalso that time when we were in the
under dark, and like time passeddifferently for yeah, exactly, there is
no way to know. Okay,So I have no idea. Also,
do we have months, days,and years in this realm? Yes?
Are they all called the same?Yes? So here's my cop out answer
to that. I'm gonna use theStar Trek answer, which is that there's
(33:07):
a universal translator that is translating daysand years into what you would understand.
And and so I'm only doing thatbecause I'm not coming up with a whole
new calendar system because I will spendway too much time on it. You
don't have to, like you guys, ask me for that, and the
(33:28):
next time, like we play,you'll have like a chart with like when
the different tides are and like whatleap years look like in a in a
system where you have two moons,like don't even get me started, all
right, Okay, so you're unsurehow long you've been here? Do you
remember when you made you tried tomake your first attempted sale of your claimed
(33:53):
product? No? Have you attemptedto make a sale? No? Okay,
so let's go back a little bit. What is your occupation. I
am the owner of an MLM.Okay, and what is the name of
the MLM. It is Crystal,which is my name in combination with the
(34:19):
stated goal of the products that Icreate, which is clarity. So it's
called Crystal Clarity. Interesting, Okay, with the K it is not the
church. I did not make areligion, unlike somebody. Uh how long?
Or let's say, what is yourrelationship with Uh, the person known
(34:46):
as Aiden montiac Who's that? Soyou're saying you don't know him? I
actually don't. Okay, all right, let's see. Can you just talk
(35:06):
that's Captain Montiacu. Because we're inthe room with you right like we are
hearing this line of questioning. Yes, Saul leans ever goes, You're doing
great. It surprises me that there'snot a zone of truth here, can
you Well, a lawyer would notwant to be inside of a z They
would crumb. Every single one ofthem would crumble to pieces. They would
(35:27):
they would evaporate into They just haveto not lie. They don't have to
tell the truth. I actually don'tknow the person, So it is not
a lie. Zoot doesn't have tohave the lawyers, and they could just
be the judge and the person beinginterviewed. The lawyer is the one interviewing
the person during a deposition. Soshe said, so, just to jog
(35:49):
your memory a little bit of AidenMontyak is the proprietor of a particular bar
in the Seafares area known as theCrow's Nest. Oh is that what his
name is? Oh? Okay,so you do know him? Not really?
I mean I probably stayed there,and his name has come up,
but I really wasn't paying attention toanything he has done. Have you attempted
(36:13):
to use his bar as a recruitmentground for your company, Crystal Clarity?
I think maybe one time. I'mtrying to remember. I've been a little
busy in this whole universe slash world, basically trying to survive the horrors that
(36:36):
this place comes with, so Icannot confirm with certainty that I actually did
do that. Okay, Can youdescribe in detail the events leading up to
the seizure of Church of Clarity propertyfrom the Atheneum bookstore? Oh you mean
(37:05):
the free samples? Yes, wellthey were free samples. Did you take
the free samples to try them orto keep people from trying them? I
took the free samples, So you'vetaken all of the samples. You've used
them all by now, totally,I think so. Maybe I honestly don't
(37:28):
remember what I did with them.I did take them from the location because
they were free, but I didn'tsell them, and I maybe I poured
them out, but also that's stillnot illegal since they're free. So no,
I didn't say anything about them beingwhat you did being illegal or not.
(37:51):
Your insinuation is that I did dosomething illegal. So, but if
you poured them out, was thepurpose of pouring them out to prevent others
from being able to sample that product? I think stopping the spread of misinformation
is not a crime. So youbelieved that the free samples were misinformation?
(38:13):
I think they were a terrible reconstructionof a product that already existed. Uh.
I have here also about witness accountsof you attempting to scry to some
supporters of yours, claiming that theproducts were counterfeit scry. Yes, you
(38:34):
were scrying to I have here yourboss babes. I'm sorry, Marcel's losing
shit. Oh my god, didthat actually work? That was into a
rock? That was the rock?Yeah? Talking about you did your boss
babe thing into the rock? Oh, the iconic recap that you did?
(38:57):
Oh, I forgotten all about that. I love that Barcel remembered it exactly
right. Of course we did.It was amazing. So I don't really
know what scrying is, so Icannot confirm whether or not I attempted to
do that. Here, I'll helpyou. Oh you were Uh you are
(39:19):
a known magic user? Correct?Yes, I can do magic. Yes,
right, you were holding an inanimateobject speaking into it. Well,
that wasn't an inanimate object. Yousee as as Ariel like kind of scans
over the rest of you to seeyour reactions. It's there, you know,
backup phone. Yeah, oh excuseme? What a phone? Her
(39:44):
backup phone. But I'll let Chriswill go back to it. Sorry I
interrupted. It was my backup,your backup, right, So this is
a backup scrying device. Again,Scrying makes communicating long distances, is trying
to peer into the infinite with magic. Did you know that that's not actually
(40:05):
what I was doing. Why don'tyou tell me what you were doing?
I don't actually have to tell you. Yeah it sauls like, yeah,
don't do that. This sounds reallybad for us. Yeah. I don't
see how that's relevant to the case. So you don't want to answer this
question. I'm asking how it's relevant. Uh. So we have here of
(40:28):
witness testimony of you speaking into ascrying device and trying to discredit the Church
of Clarity, calling their products counterfeit, and trying to summon your army of
boss babes to go and destroy andtake this. I guess what I'm asking
(40:50):
as a turn to put this backto you in a way that I can
understand. I would like for youto is the Church of Clarity and non
profit organization? I don't see howthat question is relevant. Ah hey,
so uh yeah? Uh yeah?Is the is the Where are you going
(41:14):
with this, Crystal? I don'tunderstand your line of question. Are they
making a profit from the goods they'reselling? Of course they're making a profit.
Why would they sell things? Okay, so how can they be a
church and have a profit? Uh? Churches? Churches do have profits.
Uh huh okay, I'm sorry.When can we be done? Nudge Saw
(41:39):
and ask him a question? Yeah, what do you want? Hey?
Saw? The uh? The lawreal quick intent and practicing things like if
she did something like that's a practice, but she didn't actually commit a crime,
can that be held against her?I mean it depends, but most
of the time no. Al Right, So if we just show her the
(42:00):
actual rock that's not a scrying device, we can just say that, you
know, Crystal was practicing a speech. She didn't actually commit a crime,
she was just practicing. That mightwork. We might, you know,
honestly, we might be able toget her out of this with like a
plea of insanity at this point justfrom what I've what I've heard, not
(42:20):
quite what I was going for,But I just would like an answer to
the question of if you're selling aproduct and you're a church, like there's
no law that prevents the church fromturning a profit. That's really interesting.
This world is crazy. They paytaxes just like everyone else. What okay,
(42:44):
really cool? Would you like tosee the device in question? Out
your scrying device. You're gonna showme how you summoned your army of boss
babes, Like, uh, isthat we have here Janet and Kim?
Yeah, but there I wouldn't considerwould you guys consider it an army?
I don't think they have weapons,so no, I wouldn't consider it an
(43:06):
army either. But here is thedevice. But this is the group that
you instructed to go and take goodsout, and so I'm telling you right
now, here is the device.Okay. And she takes out the cell
phone shaped rock that she has andshe hands it to so as you Mermaid,
(43:31):
as you as you hand it toAriel, Saul leans over goes,
So is it really just a rock? Like to Richard He's like, yeah,
we can talk about it later thatshe it wasn't doing anything her mental
health and be like is the salhe's He's like, oh boy, okay,
(43:54):
yes, So as you can see, Ariel, my client didn't do
any She was talking to an inanimateobject like any person might do who has
been under a lot of stress andis in a strange new place and maybe
maybe isn't all there at the timeat the time, Yes, temporary insanity.
(44:20):
Crystal likes it. She likes thetemporary part. She doesn't want to
be institutionalized, but she'll take advantageof basically anything. Ariel looks and she
goes, well, this is quaint. We'll make a note of this for
evidence and make sure this is admitted. Okay, so you claim to be
the founder or owner of this CrystalClarity, Do you have any proof of
(44:45):
that? I do, actually,but unfortunately it's not with me right now.
See convenient, I know. Isn'tit convenient that your bitch isn't here
either? But we all have tolive with hard truths. We live with
(45:07):
hard truths, and just because thedocumentation is not here doesn't mean that,
just like my birth certificate, itisn't real. You keep talking about this
birth certificate thing. I don't evenknow what that is, so let's continue
on. Funnily enough, there's apicture of it on my phone, not
(45:28):
my phone, obviously Crystal phone.And so it's funny that because she probably
would know what a birth certificate is. Did you have anything to do with
the break in that occurred the othernight? I did not. Hmm,
(45:51):
you did not. I did not. Interesting choice of words. I don't
know how that's interesting. Are youfamiliar with a gob Blenn by the name
of Nemeo. She's like racking herbrain because she just does not pick up
names of people that aren't potential targets, like I'm trying to if they're not
(46:17):
in her downline. She doesn't knowwho that exactly. She knows his name
and he's definitely not in her downline, doesn't know it, but he
is. She only lets she knowsthe squad thinks they're in charge, and
she's okay, well what happened.I feel like I've heard the name and
(46:39):
I probably came across them. Ifeel like, did you guys hear that
name at the Crow's Nest? Ithink we heard it at the Fountainhead Fountainhead.
Yeah, I think so. Maybethe name sounds familiar, but also
we've been encountering a ton of newsand a ton of new faces in the
(47:01):
past. However much time it hasbeen since we arrived in this god forsaken
hell hole of a universe, andI couldn't confirm or really even deny that
I know this person. Well,that's interesting. He had a lot more
to say about all of you.That's so awesome. People know who I
(47:21):
am. I'm so shocked. Allright, So that's your official statement on
your your relationship with the Goblin nemeo. Yeah. Does anyone else wants to
add something to the record? Whywhy would they? So? Like it
(47:43):
starts nodding to all of you tolike just not say anything. I'm this
is out a character. I'm Juliewondering why we would because no sued.
So she says, Okay, well, I guess if there's a If that's
all, then we're done here.Well, it was awesome meeting you Ariel
(48:05):
again. For the was it asecond time? Second? Third time?
I have ever many times? Youdo have a forgetful face, so forgive
me if I can't remember. Havea great day. She just walks out,
so wait to be dismissed. Asyou start to get up, the
door opens and you see thorn Ironquillwalk in and he says, unfortunately,
(48:29):
