their facial features and some of their physical features do change.
And then you notice one of the the the deep
voiced rapper of the group, seems to not be fully there,
(11:19):
seems to not be like physically, their skin doesn't seem
to be.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
To figure out, Astro just found her bias.
Speaker 5 (11:34):

Mhm.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Extremely attractive, but in a way that you cannot describe.
And if you talk to each other about it, each
one of you would describe his looks as slightly different
because he's psychically Oh my god, they're psychically made to
(14:00):

Speaker 3 (21:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Hey, that's that's what we do. That's that's uh, that's
you know, it takes a lot of skill because you know,
you're not always.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Absolutely It's like putting together an adventuring party.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
You know, like like some sort of talent ranger.
Speaker 5 (21:42):
Yes, yes, a talent ranger especially, you know I'm a
mighty talent ranger. I see this is like my third group.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Your third group. Wait a minute, really.
Speaker 5 (21:58):
My third group.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
That's how it rush.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
They didn't die, they they got successful and they you know, oh,
I'm just a starting manager, so they no longer.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
Have their right interesting So when they leave you do
they stay together and move on to more management or
do they break up into solo acts or.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
Oh no, typically they'll stay together and go with like
different management.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
You know.
Speaker 5 (22:31):
It's I'm just I'm just really good at finding who
meshes together and then moving them on to bigger and
better things later. I've got all the low I've got
all the I've got connections in a lot of the
places where people know the starting bands are going to start.
I don't really have connections with like the right right
(22:55):
the bigger venues.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
You know, I'd consider this place a pretty big venue
considering it's where all the adventures go.
Speaker 5 (23:05):
Yeah, they're coming here to drink and find adventure.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
This is more of a uh, get the name out
there thing, Isn't it like no one's coming here to
see them? But exactly I got you, okay.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Exactly exactly. So Yeah, as you guys are talking, you
hear the door, like the little bell.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
On the door open and yeah, Rachel looks.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
Does anybody look Rangel? You take a peek at the door?
Shall you take a peek at the door? Forte comes
walking in.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Okay, I'm going to yell Forte.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
Catch Okay, make a dex Forte, make a perception check
at disadvantage because you're in a bar. Allow bar.
Speaker 8 (24:01):
Oh I got a five for perception.
Speaker 5 (24:04):
Five you don't hear it. Shall make a dexterity check
to throw your.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
Okay, that is nine.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
Okay, So I'm gonna say he doesn't even get a
save because he was gonna have disadvantage if you had
thrown it successfully to him. But he does not he Forte.
As you're walking, as you walk in the bar, all
of the noise, the door is still swinging shut behind you.
(24:40):
About six feet away, you hear something hit the ground.
Amongst everything going on, and you notice that a halfling
patron is going in to pick it up.
Speaker 8 (24:58):
I will walk towards his patron.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
He's about six feet away from you.
Speaker 8 (25:08):
Do I see what it is?
Speaker 5 (25:12):
It looks shall I'm gonna is it? Is it a
similar stress ball to which.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It is a weeble that has a carving of forte
on it.
Speaker 2 (25:23):
Like the kind of wobble, but don't fall down a fortune.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
It's a weeble.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
But it looks I threw a wooden doll at someone's
head hedge in a crowded bar.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
It looks exactly like him.
Speaker 8 (25:43):
Okay, so I would recognize this caricature of me.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
You recognize that it looks a little bit like you.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I happen to be a master craftsman, so it's immaculate,
Thank you very much.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
Okay, but again, loud music, lots of shit going on
inside a busy bar probably isn't getting the best look
at it.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Does He look at me as I walk towards the patron.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
Uh Are you trying to get his attention?
Speaker 8 (26:16):
Yeah? Because I just saw something fall and he picks
it up.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Okay, yeah you can. You can walk over there to
try to figure out what it is.
Speaker 8 (26:25):
What's his reaction upon picking this thing up?
Speaker 5 (26:31):
His reaction is he picks it up, he starts looking
at it, and then you get his attention as you're
walking toward him, and he just kind of like like,
do you have a run like just run into a
random like celebrity like on a train or like just
(26:55):
in the wild where they're not at like signing, and
you're just like, is that is that who I think
it is? He's got that same sort of look with
looking at this weable and looking at you. Uh, and
(27:16):
he's just he's just looking back and forth and he
he he holds it in his hand. He walks up
to you and he's like he holds it like like
to show you, and he's like, can you can you
sign this for me?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You hear Shall yell from the other end of the bar.
Did you get that thing I sent you? Forte?
Speaker 5 (27:42):
Do I do?
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I hear him?
Speaker 5 (27:45):
Uh? Yeah, you can hear you barely hear, but Shall
has a very distinctive voice.
Speaker 8 (27:53):
Yes, yes, uh okay.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
So so the halfling just like just walks up to
you asks you to sign this we will that shell
made of you, thinking that you're probably somebody famous, because
why else would there be a statue or a carved
figure of anybody if they weren't famous.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
That's fair. I'll look at him. Uh, I will thank him,
thank you. I'm not I think this was made for me.
I'm not. Uh, I don't have any claim to fame.
I think my friend over there yelling for me made
(28:41):
it for me.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
You see this, like he asked. Then dude just kind
of waving from a table really hard.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
We're in the creepiest fucking mask in the world.
Speaker 8 (28:53):
Yeah, did you see him? I think I think he
threw that intended for me.
Speaker 5 (28:59):
Uh uh uh hum. That's weird, but uh okay, and
he gives it to you, and you the look on
his face is like just happened. So it's so weird.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
The guy gifts and you know, also there's an interesting story.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Yeah, okay, I'll thank you. If I see you again,
I'll buy your drink.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
And he just he's he's walked. He's not even like
he's like walking away talking to himself, not paying attention
to you anymore. He doesn't know what the fuck is
going on. He thinks he might have had too much
to drink.
Speaker 8 (29:58):
All right, Well, I'll take this evil and I'll start
walking towards the group.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Okay, oh you got it good than you.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Yeah, I made it for you. It's it's a toy
we used to do at the temple. It's about finding balance.
I know that you're torn between things. I'm just like
yelling this at you as you're approaching, because I'm just digging.
Speaker 5 (30:21):
He hasn't sat down yet. He's like halfway to you.
Then you're just screaming across the bar.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
When you get to the table, put it on the
table and watch a rocket never falls down.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
It's rad.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Rangel disultator rad.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's a word we used to use back East.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
Yeah, we did too, and then we stopped.
Speaker 3 (30:44):
It stands for really amazing device.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Okay, that's not what ours meant, So okay, i'll give
you a pass on that one. Ours had to do
with magical radiation. So we'll just move on.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
So, Forte, you make it to the table. There's a
seat next to a man you don't recognize.
Speaker 10 (31:12):
H Hello, guys, who's who's his friend?
Speaker 5 (31:25):
I'm the manager.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
Uh, nice to meet you. I'll try to shake their hands.
Speaker 5 (31:33):
They shake.
Speaker 8 (31:34):
I'm Forte.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
His name is Gary.
Speaker 5 (31:38):
Yeah, he looks at you. Gary. What kind of a
name is Gary? Uh?
Speaker 3 (31:53):
I knew it Gary.
Speaker 5 (31:55):
It's not that I don't think you ever knew a Gary.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
You want to talk to him?
Speaker 2 (32:02):
I don't think tonight it's a good night.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
I don't know. I I don't How would you get
in touch with this Gary that you once knew.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
So Shall is going to remove his mask and he
is going to trace a finger over the carved name
of Gary inside the mask.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Put the mask back on. Hey, Hi, I'm Gary.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Turns over, look, turns looks at Astro and Deliverance and
just what the fuck.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
Asked him about that?
Speaker 5 (32:47):
He said, I thought you were Shall. My name is Kayden. Uh.
He kind of looks at the rest of the party.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Mm hmm, yeah, he sees.
Speaker 5 (33:06):
Uh. Make everybody make a perception check except for Shell.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Can I get advantage.
Speaker 7 (33:12):
Because I've been politely very into the group.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
That he is?
Speaker 8 (33:16):
Yes, I got a nine.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Sure, I rolled the twenty.
Speaker 5 (33:20):
Okay, dirty twenty? What'd you get forte nine nine? Okay?
Speaker 7 (33:26):
I got a thirty?
Speaker 6 (33:28):
I got it.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
You got a thirty in a tent? Okay? So Uh,
Randall and Astrid you both read his face as like,
is this a regular fucking thing for this guy, or.
Speaker 7 (33:52):
Pulls herself away from wondering if how likely of a
chance she has with Phantom to turn Yeah, oh shall
you and your fun things? Yeah, this is just this
is our our friend. He's really in two with other people.
(34:15):
It's one of his skills. She is, I assure you,
this is all coming out of aswards ass tries to
reassure and that kind of side eye. Randall help here.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
Randall is kind of looking at Shall like bugs have
crawled out of his ears, which is honestly something else
that could happen. But he's just like he's got to
look on his face like what the fuck? So yep, yep,
you okay there, buddy.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
Oh yeah, I'm fine. I guess I don't know. We
don't do this very often because being dad's kind of
weird and I don't like it. Gary, by the.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Way, Hi, hey Gary, how about you and me? Uh
go talk over here for a minute. Okay, Well you
can help me get to the bathroom.
Speaker 7 (35:15):
I distract well they once they go, I distract Kayden
and trying to get a rock recording of the band.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
They go off possibly a possibly a tablet number.
Speaker 7 (35:27):
Oh god, yes, and assigning one of them n d as.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
Yeah, yeah, where we are they staying?
Speaker 5 (35:33):
Right?
Speaker 3 (35:33):
Now?
Speaker 2 (35:35):
What in you staying?
Speaker 7 (35:38):
No, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
Speaker 5 (35:43):
But they go on, yeah, all right, so they head
off and Kayden, it is like, what what what's up
with that that Gary guy?
Speaker 7 (35:54):
Oh? Yeah, Gary's just a little shy. It's like a
it's like you're at the changeling thing. It's kind of
a personality change link thing. That makes sense. Uh, it's
actually it'd actually be really good on stages or maybe
(36:15):
if they had like performance books that could do different
tricks or to have different voices, different singing, could be
one one one man full band in my mind. But
that's fine, don't worry about it. He's fine. Everybody's fine.
So Phantom, and then cut to the other group.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
Yes, Phantom is that what about Phantom? They're all single? Oh,
they're they're not allowed to they're not allowed to date
under their contract. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I was gonna say, I don't know that she's asking about dates.
Speaker 6 (37:02):
For them, and that sucks for them, considering they they're
free people that they're allowed to do whatever they want.
But I guess into their contract that makes sense. I'm sorry, Astor,
Are we just going to completely ignore the fact that
she'll just.
Speaker 7 (37:19):
Do that bumpody? We can't adore that, we can't, don't. Yeah,
I don't know what they're doing. Just Katy one second
full aside deliverance. I don't know what the fuck that was.
But you you saw the mask before.
Speaker 6 (37:38):
Right, I've seen it before. I mean, it has a
b it has a lot of names in there. Does
this mean you're that's concerning? That's a lot to carry.
Speaker 7 (37:56):
There were times that he seemed that Shall seemed a
little different or off, but I thought that was just
him adjusting to us, because this has been different members
or personalities versions.
Speaker 8 (38:08):
I'm surprised he hasn't mentioned.
Speaker 7 (38:10):
He's trying to take care of us. Figure out what
those a little gifts?
Speaker 6 (38:15):
Okay, taking care of us is a strong servant. But
I think it.
Speaker 3 (38:21):
Then you just give me the gift back.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
You you're not with them?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
No, not, this is this has gotta be something like
he Okay, in his defense, we've only known him for
what a week and a half?
Speaker 3 (38:43):
When was the still three weeks?
Speaker 5 (38:47):
God?
Speaker 6 (38:47):
Yeah, less than a month? Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 7 (38:51):
There's nothing if he if he's safe and there's nothing
wrong with it, that's fine, but we definitely need to.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Be addressed it.
Speaker 8 (39:00):
I mean, I mean he did it at will. Do
you think he can change it back around?
Speaker 7 (39:05):
Is this a control thing?
Speaker 8 (39:08):
And I don't know?
Speaker 6 (39:09):
And now my question is is have we been talking
to the same shawl over and over again? I mean,
I ask you, do you raise a good point? Like point?
I can't talk a drink, that's fine, So halfway through
the blumin onion.
Speaker 7 (39:27):
Just housard of bluemin onion, a couple drinks, wondering if
our friend is cursed?
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Just an onion coverable poppies and dandylions.
Speaker 7 (39:36):
If seriously, this is your forte, that's right? But do
you think he.
Speaker 6 (39:43):
You've got to got any forte? I mean, you know
what that's like? Are you talking to the right person?
Speaker 8 (39:50):
I have no idea. I think mine's a bit different.
I don't remember when they take over. But he willingly
tapped into being carried and I don't really want to
tap into his mind.
Speaker 7 (40:05):
Can wait you? I mean, if you're willing, can't you
maybe connect to try to talk to him? And maybe
I don't know if inside you're talking to shall? When
you do? You know when you know when you and
I used to connect in the brain to talk. I
don't know how you did that, but maybe if you
connected with him, would you be talking Shall or would
(40:26):
you be talking to Gary?
Speaker 8 (40:32):
If you know at Warlock's company. I'll try it, screw it.
I will look over where uh Shall and Rangel are
and I'll try to mind link with the body of Shall.
Speaker 5 (40:48):
Hello.
Speaker 8 (40:49):
Hello, yes, why? Uh?
Speaker 4 (40:54):
Who?
Speaker 8 (40:54):
Who am I speaking to?
Speaker 5 (40:56):
You?
Speaker 3 (40:56):
Speaking to Shall and Gary?
Speaker 8 (40:59):
Okay, I've never talked to two people before like this. Michelle,
are you? Are you okay?
Speaker 5 (41:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah, I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
Like this is a little draining. I'm just letting Gary
out for a little bit. Like he ow, it's complicated.
It's complicated.
Speaker 8 (41:21):
Can you come back willingly?
Speaker 3 (41:23):
Yeah? Well, I mean it depends on how much Gary
fights me.
Speaker 8 (41:29):
Does did they fight you back often?
Speaker 4 (41:34):
I mean, you know, you get the keys to the wagon.
It sometimes is a little tempting to stay in the
drivers No, Gary, Gary.
Speaker 3 (41:44):
Shut up anyway. Yeah, No, we're good here. I slipped
up a little bit.
Speaker 8 (41:54):
Okay, tell you what if you if you're gonna like
gag a troll for like a second, then just make
point at the thing you made me when at the weavil,
and I'll know to mind.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Like with you. Wait wait, wait, what.
Speaker 8 (42:10):
If you're having trouble fighting and you can only gain
control for like a second, just point towards the thing
you made me, the weavil, and that'll let me know
to mind li like with you.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
Okay, Gary is there? Right? If you go back now?
Oh okay, all right, thanks for letting me out for
a bit, of course, Garry Carrie, I love you brother.
All right, you good? Yeah, your your time show see Gary? Okay, okay,
(42:41):
here we are.
Speaker 8 (42:42):
All right, I'm back, Yes, okay, I'll talk to you
well in case you you struggle to get control. But
I guess now you're back, so yeah, I guess we'll
we'll talk about this physically soon.
Speaker 3 (42:55):
Okay, yeah, right, all right.
Speaker 2 (42:59):
On in the mind I meanwhile, Shall has lot Shall
and Randre were over there, and Randrel had like getting
down on his knees, and it's like, okay, what in
the nine hell's just happened?
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Oh? So I have the souls of a couple of
hundred months stuck in my body.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
Okay, hang on, not a couple, but a couple hundred.
Speaker 4 (43:26):
Yeah, I mean there's some there's some that are there
are some that are more anchored to me than others,
but yeah, I do feel the others in there.
Speaker 2 (43:37):
Okay, all right. First off, I want to say I'm
not mad at you. Okay.
Speaker 1 (43:44):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Second would have been good to know beforehand. Well, it's
one of those things where like, okay, that's fair, but
I feel like that's one of those things you could
have let us know go going ins like, hey, guys,
I'm willing to help you. Just a heads up. Every
(44:05):
now and again, one of the multitude may come out
and talk.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
Well, in my defense, it is really hard to bring
that up without sounding completely fucking insane.
Speaker 2 (44:22):
Given our group dynamic, I don't think that's really gonna
be a problem or a detriment if you do. Considering
I don't know that there's a sane member of our party.
So it's cool. You're just a different flavor of weird
(44:43):
and that's fine.
Speaker 4 (44:45):
So I appreciate that, and I'm perfectly willing to discuss this.
It's just okay, I don't know, I really took offense.
Speaker 3 (44:53):
I took offense to like Gary not being a name
to that way.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
Guy that way. I understand that it's a little weird.
Not not knowing who a Gary is. I mean i've
met a Gary before. There was one on the spell Jammer.
It's yeah, no, I get you.
Speaker 3 (45:12):
Yeah, aren't you from space?
Speaker 2 (45:14):
Not from space? I'm just from another plane. It's different,
and we can talk about that. But I just don't
know that doing it in front of the let's call
him an outsider was a great move. Yeah, and it's cool.
(45:38):
I know you have been away from like social settings
for a long time, and we'll work on it. You know,
like maybe a situation like this happens, you turn and
you're like, hey, would this be a good time to
get a little weird?
Speaker 3 (45:57):
No, that's you know, I like that, good time to
get a little weird or things like that. I don't
know the you know, conversations do not come easily.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
That's that's fine. That's fine.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
It's worse when you're dead.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Rachel seriously just kind of went, oh god, okay, it's fine.
I mean I understand, I mean I don't. I don't understand,
but I appreciate the problem you're having, so you know,
going forward, will work on it. We'll try to keep
the this. We're good, okay.
Speaker 3 (46:36):
Okay, Okay, I'm just gonna not that.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
No, that's not what I'm saying. Just you know, there's
a time and a place to bring your family out.
Speaker 3 (46:50):
No that that that makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 2 (46:52):
Yeah, not a problem. I mean, God knows, if anybody
from my past were to show up, I'd probably have
a problem. So uh, all right, let's go sit down.
Speaker 3 (47:02):
Hey we can. We can't pick our family, you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (47:06):
You kind of can. Actually that's kind of what I'm doing,
Like this is this is okay, this is probably a
weird place to do this, but like, this is my
family right now. This is the only family I've ever
really had. So yeah, you can pick your family.
Speaker 3 (47:29):
I assure you that. I mean no harm, can.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
I I kind of get that vibe. I don't. I
don't think we'd be hanging out with you if we
thought you were going to be a major danger.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
So you want to head back?
Speaker 2 (47:46):
Absolutely, No, it should be fine. The onions there already,
the drinks have been delivered. You've got your popo.
