This is my favorite season. Oh yeah, who isn't excited about
0:08
the parade? I'm just going to find a rooftop
0:10
bacon. If I ever say no to that, I want
0:14
you to shoot. Me cipher, is that you?
0:15
We go. Way back Wait.
0:17
Retro, nice to meet you. I'm prompt or you can call me
0:20
written. Whatever there's.
0:21
A freaking cowboy here. Just call me Remington.
0:24
So my project that I've been working on for like a year and
0:26
a. Half.
0:26
It's a fancy looking face you got there, feller.
0:28
I can finally see the armor played on the vehicles.
0:31
Why is her name April if she's anonymous?
0:33
Sometimes it just goes over my head.
0:35
Is it going to rain? Not today.
0:37
That doesn't sound good. Holy shit.
0:39
Stacks. Fire.
0:41
Tuck and roll. Tuck and roll.
0:42
Via Condio's Good Friend I don't.
0:44
Want to deal with this? Oh, that sounds like somebody
0:46
having a bad day. But I want to pick around the
0:48
corner because I'm nosy. And there around the corner you
1:01
just see this like fucking thug looking dude bashing his arms
1:05
against this door and after a moment the door gives way No.
1:12
Get away? No, I'm not going to give you
1:14
anything. You hear sort of a, An older
1:17
voice called from inside the apartment.
1:19
Oh, I'm a sucker for that. I'm going to.
1:21
I'm going to fully walk around the corner.
1:25
Yeah, excuse me, friend, Couldn't help but overhear this.
1:30
Stay out of. This, you piece of shit?
1:32
Where's my fucking money, you old hag?
1:35
Oh, see, now you done gone and insulted me, and I'll let you
1:37
get away with that once, but I wasn't quite done with my
1:39
sentence. What?
1:42
What's the cause of this here tussle?
1:45
Because you're being real loud and the weather got real shitty
1:47
outside. Apparently there was.
1:48
AI could give a fuck dude. This bitch owes me some money
1:51
and I'm going to get my fucking pay.
1:53
And you could stay the fuck out of it, you ugly fucking mug,
1:55
with your dumb outfit and your dumb hat and your dumb face.
1:58
Oh, you crossed the line there, buddy.
2:01
You want to make something of it, pal?
2:03
I would like you to fucking leave me alone and I'd like to
2:06
kill this woman so I can steal all her money.
2:09
I'd like to still be goddamn eating synthetic meat and
2:11
drinking some whiskey on a rooftop, but unfortunately acid
2:14
rain came in and fucked up my day, and right now you're
2:17
pissing me off. So what are we going to do about
2:20
it? That's a lot of words for a
2:21
fucking cowboy. Abdullah challenge him to A.
2:25
Pool. A shootout, yeah.
2:27
I hate to disappoint an audience.
2:30
What do you see? He pulls his gun on you and
2:33
fires. I'm going to return the favour.
2:36
All right, roll Athletics to see who goes first.
2:39
I am right next to him, by the way.
2:41
So I'm behind. I'm right next to.
2:45
Our cowboy. Am I supposed to roll something
2:47
to do now? No, no, he's not shooting at
2:49
you. He's just shooting at this guy
2:50
now. I feel bad.
2:52
What's your reflex? And reflex is pretty, Reflex
2:54
isn't. Eight.
2:57
You can dodge bullets. All right, so you roll A16HE
3:01
rolls 7. So you get to shoot first your
3:04
bullet as he goes to cock his gun and shoot you.
3:07
Your bullet hits him for 14 damage.
3:09
You see a piece of his armor flyer?
3:11
God damn it. Fuck you, man.
3:14
Ow and then after he says ow, you hear a hail of bullets come
3:19
from inside the apartment and almost a witch like cackling
3:24
laugh as he's filled with bullets from the right side and
3:30
he falls over and and tries to pull himself up.
3:34
He's pretty hurt. He's just been filled with.
3:38
Let's see how much damage 21, which takes him under her
3:42
health. His arm is completely bent the
3:45
wrong way as he picks himself up and steps further down the
3:49
hallway. The woman who lives in this
3:52
apartment sticks her head out and she's holding a big assault
3:55
rifle. What?
3:55
Did I say about that, you fucking stupid man?
3:59
It wasn't me you borrowed money from, you stupid druggie.
4:01
Now get the fuck. Out, and she slams the door
4:03
shut. What did we just witness?
4:06
Do I want to be this old woman when I grow up?
4:08
Probably I think I I think I found a new aspiration in life
4:11
that was quite impressive. I.
4:13
Think we just saw a hail of bullets?
4:16
I think you're right, hey, as they say.
4:18
In the Wild West, another one. Bites the dust a cowboy.
4:23
I like how you think I'm going to Mosey along after this badly
4:27
wounded dipshit. Hey, you.
4:29
You all done? You want to insult my clothes,
4:31
my face, everything about me? Some more.
4:34
During this conversation where you've been talking to each
4:36
other, he's been slowly making his way down this hallway and
4:38
he's got to the very end of it near on the ground where it says
4:41
elevator and he smeared blood the whole way.
4:43
Fuck you as he turns around the corner and you can hear a few
4:46
people scream as he comes around the corner and he he you can
4:51
hear him sort of barrel into this area.
4:54
Oh, is he going to be a problem as he dies?
4:56
Well, I. Think I think I'm about to have
4:58
to go and back to send somebody else to meet their maker at as
5:03
as a piece of mercy. What's your question?
5:06
If perhaps Cipher wanted to, she just randomly has in her her bag
5:12
a a Rd. flare and she just wants to shove it in his mouth and set
5:18
it off. Is that something that's
5:19
possible? It would be if he was closer,
5:22
but he's already gone down the hallway.
5:24
If I hadn't said that, you'd then yes.
5:26
OK, but I can't, There'll be. Plenty of opportunities for
5:30
fantastic like that, so yes. I was just curious.
5:34
Go with God, my friend, by all means, with all of the the
5:38
wonderful kind of TTRPG madness that you desire.
5:43
That's fine by me. He's gone down the hallway
5:46
towards the elevator though. Yeah, I'm going to go just fully
5:49
running after him. I don't want to lose his eyes on
5:51
this piece of shit. All right.
5:53
Does anyone else follow? I'll follow.
5:55
I'm going to add a not a fast pace because I don't want to be
5:58
too close to the action, but I am going to follow.
6:00
Cipher loves mess so. She's going to be writing.
6:04
That Remy is just taking up the rear, smoking a joint.
6:08
It's like another another Thursday.
6:12
I thought it was Wednesday. Is it?
6:15
I don't know what day it is anymore.
6:17
I should know. Why don't I know?
6:20
It's the Halla day. And as you move on down this
6:26
hallway, you pass a few vending machines, a few more apartment
6:29
doors, and you get to the end where there's like a a lobby
6:32
area if you want vending machines and sofas, a place to
6:35
hang out, which has never been used, because why the hell would
6:38
an apartment building need that? Anyone else have that
6:41
realization every now and again? You also pass by the bathrooms
6:44
on the left hand side. Never use public bathrooms.
6:50
I'm more of a port, a potty gentleman myself.
6:52
And as you come around the corner Remington, you can see
6:54
this guy very lightly kick someone out of the elevator at
6:59
gunpoint and it closes is. There, only the one elevator.
7:07
Yes, the other way down is by the stairs.
7:10
Where Where are the stairs? Back at the other side of the
7:13
building. Son of a bitch does this.
7:19
Is this like? Old school Where?
7:22
You can see which floor was going down too.
7:26
Yes, yes, yes it is. It's going down to the next
7:30
floor and has stopped. Then I am going to Sprint my ass
7:35
over to the stairs, take those stairs down and get off the next
7:39
floor and hope that I can find this sumbitch on the next floor.
7:43
There's just this resident of this place standing in the
7:45
hallway. What a Dick.
7:47
I was going to go down in the elevator, Yeah.
7:49
Well, hopefully I can find him and we can sort things out in a
7:53
very reasonable way. God damn it.
7:56
I fucking hate loose ends and I go sprinting off towards the
7:59
stairs. He's got to duel.
8:01
Him all. Right.
8:02
And you, you head off to the stairs.
8:03
What do you guys do? I mean, I'm.
8:04
Going to wait for the elevator, I think.
8:06
Because I'm not. I'm not going downstairs in my
8:08
my heels, That's just I'm going to break my ankle.
8:11
Remy's starting. To get high.
8:13
So they're also probably going to wait for the elevator because
8:15
they're starting to get lazy. As fuck, I'm going to go hit the
8:18
button for the elevator. The the the button doesn't work.
8:27
Wait, why is this not working? I think press it.
8:31
Harder. I'm going.
8:32
To press it harder. See if that helps.
8:34
I assume he lives here. That's what my assumption is.
8:38
I do not. OK, we got to go take the
8:40
stairs. I know I'm going to quickly.
8:45
Briskly work. Question about the stairs.
8:48
Yeah. Do the stairs, are they like?
8:53
Kind of like in a spiral. Pattern.
8:55
Yeah. Go down.
8:56
They go down on the right. And sorry, you go up on the
8:59
right and down on the left, OK? Remy is so extremely lazy right
9:02
now and does not care for this building anymore, so they're
9:07
going to try to see if they can rip a piece of fry wall off and
9:11
see if they can use that as like a sled just sled down the
9:14
stairs. As you go over to a nearby wall,
9:17
you you realize that there's a locker next to the wall and you
9:20
can easily just use the door of that I'll.
9:22
Just use the locker. I just ride the locker down.
9:25
Oh, the locker's bolted to the wall.
9:26
Just rip the door off all. Right.
9:28
Yeah. All right.
9:29
Yeah. I'll do that.
9:29
I'll just set it down. Get on.
9:34
OK, OK, This is my life. This is my life today.
9:37
We're just going to do it. Only live twice.
9:39
What? And roll for it?
9:40
And then? We just take down Yep, I.
9:43
Don't know. See, your piloting is not like.
9:47
This what am I going to roll? Athletics.
9:49
You're going to roll athletics. Could be worse.
9:54
Could be I know, I know and. What does retro roll?
9:57
Retro is going to roll a gamble. 18 You do beautifully, well done
10:06
prompt with your 14. You managed to hold on and you
10:09
do get a little bit of a thrill. It gives you that fun slide
10:14
feeling as Retro manages to skim the door of this locker around
10:20
this spiral of the bottom of the stairs and make your way to the
10:25
next floor. And as you come down to this
10:29
floor, you come down the stairs and on your right are two guys
10:32
and they're standing in the stairwell and they've got like 3
10:36
or 4 sofas and they are completely blocking the way.
10:40
Dude, I told you to pivot. I'm just going to try and barrel
10:46
my way through as best I can. Relax.
10:49
I do not care about your poor plans on trying to figure out
10:52
how to move. You should have hired a fucking
10:54
professional. See, you should listen to random
10:59
cowboy guy, he says as Remington keeps moving down the hallway,
11:04
which is almost an exact copy of the room above, making the map a
11:07
very easy to duplicate earlier when I was making it.
11:12
And as you make your way to the end, the elevator is open and
11:16
inside are a bunch of people. One of them is bleeding and on
11:22
the. Ground, I'm going to go charging
11:25
into said elevator and I'm going to, I'm going to say, looking
11:29
directly at anyone who is not the bleeding asshole.
11:32
Hold that elevator. I need to get on in full fucking
11:37
Sprint, yeah. I'll be following along behind
11:41
him, but I'm not getting on the elevator.
11:43
Cipher is basically just kind of moved manoeuvre her way excuse.
11:47
Me fighting me and. Like kind of going around or
11:50
either even over the sofa in order to get back on track, to
11:55
basically go where Remington went in order to follow pretty
12:01
much. Right.
12:03
So you get to the end of this building and you can see
12:06
Remington, this guy in the elevator, he's on the ground and
12:10
one of the residents is like holding the door because you're
12:13
pointing a gun at him. It's.
12:14
OK, I'm a doctor. What do you do?
12:19
Me, I I make my way onto that elevator and I cozy up real nice
12:24
to our to our bleeding friend. It's all right.
12:28
I'm here to help. Fuck you.
12:33
Now now maybe if you buy me a drink first, we can discuss any
12:36
sort of amorous activities that may happen on on the Hereafter.
12:40
But first and foremost, we're going to get to know each other
12:44
a little better, aren't we? Yours.
12:50
Now you're doing a real good job of upsetting me.
12:53
Now The thing is, you're real fucked up.
12:55
And that's not completely my fault.
12:57
That is all your fault. And what we can do right now is
13:01
we can decide this one of two ways.
13:03
Are the doors still open or closed?
13:05
They're open. So folks, as the resident
13:09
physician amongst these parts, I'm gonna make sure I'll use
13:12
this area here for any sort of a procedure I need me.
13:16
Y'all are OK. I'm gonna drag this motherfucker
13:17
right out of this elevator back into the the area here so y'all
13:23
can get on your way. All right.
13:27
Well, they all get in the. Oh, OK.
13:29
Thank you. They also thank you very well.
13:31
Thanks, Mr. Cowboy. Yeah.
13:33
No, thanks, mate. That's good.
13:34
Yeah. All right.
13:36
Appreciate it. Thank you.
13:37
Yeah. Bye.
13:38
And they go, OK, cool. And you turn to them and they
13:41
will look at you kind of giving you a thumbs up.
13:43
And the elevator doors start to close and they creak a little
13:45
bit and it's kind of upsetting. The noise, it's a scraping,
13:48
unfortunate noise. And then they all look at you
13:50
with a bit of terror and the elevator shifts down one and it
13:54
starts to descend badly. This elevator is failing right
13:59
now. Oh, that is unfortunate.
14:03
And it keeps failing. You're just going to watch it.
14:05
It's like a fucking day. It's the cowboy do.
14:08
You need. Help no Please help us.
14:13
Help us and it starts to fall again.
14:16
You can hear the cable start to snap and click inside the
14:20
elevator look. Down at this bleeding dude and
14:23
like, I imagine I was probably kneeling with him as I dragged
14:26
his body out. I'm going to go ahead.
14:28
I'm going to step on one of his bullet wounds, making sure I
14:30
sink. Through my screws.
14:32
Into it a little bit. Just let him know exactly how I
14:35
feel about the fact that he insulted me and my mustache and
14:39
go on over to these doors and just with all the strength I can
14:43
of me and my cybernetic arm, try and push them open and say
14:46
everybody get the fuck out right now.
14:57

Help me help and vote for it. All right, what am I rolling for
16:02
this act of idiocy here? Can we assist?
16:07
Yes, I like to help people. In that elevator, they are about
16:10
to fucking die. This elevator, you can hear it
16:12
detaching. Can I can I call?
16:14
This athletics. Yes, you can, I feel.
16:17
Like this would be a foot. Yeah, I will.
16:19
Oh, I. Mean She's a small.
16:26
Being so cipher, you start to cheerlead as you watch.
16:31
As you watch Prompt and Remington rush towards the door.
16:36
Promise you have no idea where you go to do this.
16:38
Nope. I'm just.
16:39
No clue whatsoever this. Is not what I do, but.
16:42
Instilled within you is the holiday spirit of maybe having a
16:46
few less people die. So you reach in and you grab the
16:49
lightest person inside who's like a 19 year old kid who's
16:53
wearing a visor and was just watching some vids.
16:56
Man, he's just trying to have a nice day.
16:59
Pull him out of the elevator and he falls beside you and he looks
17:02
at you. Thanks, God, yeah.
17:06
Remington, on the other hand, is pulling two people at once.
17:08
But he rolled A crit and you both rolled A crit, let's be
17:11
honest. But he rolled A crit and he
17:13
pulls them both out, throws them back.
17:15
The one on his left, however, lands on the the guy who shot
17:20
the old lady and you see one of his kidneys pop out of his side
17:24
onto the ground and it squelches as this man rolls over it and
17:29
blood spatters across the floor. Hey.
17:31
It's oh. Fuck, that's gross.
17:33
Oh, oh. Fuck, it's a Christmas miracle.
17:39
You get a free kidney if you want it.
17:42
Look at that. You made the kidney pop out of
17:44
the dip. Shit.
17:45
What are the odds at the mountain very often?
17:48
Wait, isn't it Like a? Gross.
17:50
Now it's not working. It's gone.
17:52
It's done. Popped it's a.
17:54
Pancake kidney pancakes. And the elevator falls.
17:57
It snaps. You see the cable whip around in
18:00
the shaft as it slams shut. Ash.
18:03
You make it slams shut by kicking it with your little crit
18:06
there on Athletics so that the cable doesn't flick out and kill
18:09
anyone. Wow.
18:10
You did that in heels. And you hear the elevator crash
18:13
to the ground and a small explosion can be heard through
18:15
the walls. I'm just gonna.
18:16
Have to take the stairs down. Now there's a lot of flights, I
18:19
mean. We use one of the.
18:20
Residents is now like pulling the door back open and is
18:23
looking inside. I mean, you could climb down the
18:26
shaft, no? In hues.
18:28
Wait, wait, wait. We could go down the railing
18:31
like slide down you. Know.
18:32
Yeah. Yeah, Retro did that.
18:34
Yeah, I've got my, I've got my thing and I'll, I'll the.
18:36
Couches are on the way though. I'll kick flip the the what's it
18:40
the the locker door up as if it was like a surfboard.
18:43
Yeah, this. We can all ride on this.
18:45
Oh, Snowboarding. Yeah.
18:47
What? That.
18:48
That. Tony.
18:49
Tony. What was his name?
18:51
Tony Hawk. Man Eagle.
18:53
I thought it was Eagle the. One who did all the.
18:55
Tricks and stuff, I don't remember that.
18:57
Was. I think it was Eagle.
18:58
I don't think it was a Hawk. I think it was Eagles.
19:01
Tony Mcgillicuddy. Eagle sounds way more cool.
19:04
Man. Tony Falcon?
19:05
Absolutely, positively true. No, that sounds better.
19:07
Yeah, I think it was Falcon. Wait, is.
19:09
Condor are they? Wait, is that the same one who
19:11
came up with the Falcon Punch? No.
19:14
Talking about a skateboarder while I die on the ground?
19:16
No. The Falcon.
19:17
The Falcon Punch was a military man.
19:19
Oh. That's right.
19:21
Is. Anyone listening to me?
19:23
Listen, I'm. In so much pain, my left kidney
19:27
feels really weird. No, you.
19:29
Only need. Like.
19:31
No, you actually don't need any of your kidneys.
19:32
I don't think you're OK, no. You do.
19:35
You do? Feller, I'm going to let you in
19:38
on some serious truth right here.
19:43
You're in bad shape and I think you're going to die.
19:47
So we can do this one in two ways.
19:50
Order one, you can tell me exactly what the fuck you were
19:53
doing here, trying to shake down some nice old lady, and I can
19:57
make your expiration quick, painless, and dignified.
20:02
Or you can insult me again. And we can just go what's behind
20:06
door #1. Suck all my Christmas balls I.
20:10
Was kind of hoping you'd say that.
20:12
I'm just going to grab him by the ankle, drag him back over to
20:15
the elevator doors, and if they've closed, I'm just going
20:18
to pull them open. I'm just going to toss his ass
20:20
into the shaft. Oh see, I was going to say you
20:24
should choose the option of chestnut, chestnuts, roasty and
20:27
open fire and just. Like, put fire on his balls, you
20:30
know, just like. Hey dude, that little one's
20:33
scary. Yeah, but she's really cool.
20:36
No, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm. I'm becoming quite the fan, I.
20:40
Thought I was impressive. I'm.
20:41
A huge fan of yours. Nice.
20:43
Way to drop. Thank you kindly.
20:44
Hey. Retro do you want to use this
20:46
the the we want to move the couches we got to go they got
20:49
the couches are in the way oh. You just climb over there.
20:52
Yeah, If they continue to be in our way, we we will.
20:54
I saw what you did just now. And.
20:57
Heels there are. There are 6 couches blocking the
21:00
stairs, yeah. But we can.
21:03
We can do it. My, my, my, my friend, I've
21:07
heard you mentioned multiple times the the difficulty of of
21:09
doing various things in heels. I've got at least a 2 inch lift
21:13
on these boots and I'm wearing spurs.
21:15
So if I'm able to climb and maneuver over a lot of these
21:18
things, I surely think the fact you've got a solid pump going on
21:22
right there you'll be OK as well.
21:24
I'm just saying it's mind over matter on these efforts.
21:28
Wait. Are.
21:29
Those red bottoms. Yeah, they're red bottoms.
21:33
Oh, red bottoms. No, no, no, no, no.
21:35
Those are I. Don't want to scuff them, I
21:37
thought. You was asking about my boots?
21:39
Nah, I mean, the bottoms are red now because they're kind of
21:42
bleeding everywhere. Oh, it's true, yeah.
21:45
Oh well, they're red. Now, yeah.
21:48
Increase the quality of them. Oh, I always say something.
21:53
Oh, do you think it made my boots fancy?
21:55
Now they got the blood stains on them.
21:57
I mean, I didn't know that that was how fashion works these
21:59
days. Depends on the fashion person.
22:02
Hey, how are we going to get downstairs, man?
22:05
I don't know. I mean.
22:07
Well to to answer your question, I think you answer your question
22:09
yourself. Downstairs, like you use the
22:13
stairs 1 foot in front of the other, you slowly descend bit by
22:16
bit. There's like sofas in the way,
22:17
man, I'm just going to climb this ladder dude, and he climbs
22:20
down the ladder to the next floor.
22:22
Whatever your floats, you broke there, feller.
22:25
I'm going to go see if I can, like, climb over the couches.
22:28
Yeah, maybe take off the. The Red Bottoms and just.
22:31
Hold them so they get scuffed and then jump over.
22:35
Yeah, I might do that. Yeah.
22:36
Yeah. Yeah.
22:37
That sounds like a good idea. Well, if if you're happily
22:40
leaping away to that, I shall follow.
22:43
Need a hand moving or anything? I'll be more than happy to
22:45
oblige. I just want to go home now.
22:48
I want to see the floats, but I don't think they exist anymore.
22:52
Well, why wouldn't they exist? The acid rain, yeah.
22:56
How well do you think? Yeah.
22:57
Oh. Yeah, is it the?
22:59
Sheet of burning fuck and everything that we saw of it
23:01
earlier there. Roll Athletics to get past the
23:05
sofas. Is that oh?
23:08
Yes. Oh yes.
23:11
Oh, so good. Yes.
23:12
So you climb over the sofas. You've dealt with the problem in
23:15
this building. And so you move through the next
23:17
floor and all the way to the ground.
23:21
No one rolled below at 12. Great.
23:23
Everyone did fantastic. Nice.
23:28
You know, there may be acid rain outside, but that's not going to
23:31
weather us down. Oh my God.
23:35
We have all the warmth in here. So you come down to the bottom
23:37
of the stairs. You can hear the sort of
23:40
cracking and smoldering noise of destruction at the other end of
23:44
the building where the elevator we now assume has completely
23:49
collapsed and you are now at the back of the building near the
23:51
back door and the three apartments on this level ground
23:55
floor I. Guess I can try and call my
23:57
driver. Might be able to have an
23:59
umbrella. Monty is not the best though.
24:05
Let's let's take a look at these vending machines.
24:09
What do we got here? Inside the vending machine are
24:13
some Christmas parasols. They're all branded, so you're
24:21
really chilling for Continental brands, real water and even
24:26
Biotechnica does. Anybody have any ideas I could
24:31
borrow? I am broke this month.
24:33
I asked how much are the then their parasols?
24:37
15 each. 15 piece. I got it up.
24:40
But someone else take the biotechnical one.
24:42
I don't want that one. Yeah, I'll.
24:43
I'll take it. Are you sure?
24:46
I I've got a good solid roll of duct tape here.
24:49
One out of electric layer protection and cover up said
24:52
offensive logo right there. It'd be really easy to make I.
24:56
Would love that. I don't want to get fired.
25:00
You pull your roll of duct tape, which it takes about 1/3 of the
25:04
roll to cover the umbrella and all your.
25:08
PTL would. Go out, go out the window, Yeah,
25:11
strap it at the. Top of this umbrella and this
25:14
umbrella could withstand more the the corrosive rain outside.
25:18
Now for a tiny bit longer. Oh.
25:22
Nice. And you get out your tile prompt
25:25
and you call your assistant. I'm going to go towards the.
25:32
Door. As you get close to the door,
25:33
you hear you see a man standing there in front of the elevator,
25:38
surrounded by dead bodies, and you can hear the rain hitting
25:41
the front of the building and sizzling on the glass fork.
25:46
What the fucking what? Oh yeah, I don't.
25:51
I don't think that elevator is going to be much used to you.
25:54
It fell down. Shit.
25:57
Oh, my brother. There were dead.
25:58
Bodies. Fuck you only threw the One.
26:02
Why is there so many dead people?
26:06
Fuck, why do you have? Like, a lot.
26:09
Of dead people on the holidays. God damn it.
26:12
Fuck when you look out the window and you see fire come
26:16
down past the glass as it starts to cover the front of the
26:19
building. Oh, fuck that.
26:22
Rain that. That is less than ideal.
26:25
The Flames are coming down, like, vertically.
26:27
Yeah, you can. See it from the window?
26:28
It must have spread from the barbecue on the outside of the
26:30
building. Oh, the rain is flammable, that.
26:34
Varmint must have been flammable.
26:37
The flesh may have doomed us all.
26:39
We may need to to to get down much, much quicker with great
26:44
expediency as this place is burning and I'm going to
26:48
continue to take the stairs and I will see as many of y'all as
26:52
clear to follow. I'm just going to this.
26:54
Is the ground floor. Oh my God.
26:55
Well, this is the fucking. Ground floor?
26:56
Never mind. Yes, it is.
26:58
Ignore all of that. We need to leave, but I don't
27:03
know where we are. I have no idea where we are.
27:06
I'm I'm gonna try and call Monty and see if he can pick us up.
27:10
Yes, yes, Monty. Yeah.
27:12
Mine sounds. Wonderful.
27:13
Can you come pick me up? So there's acid rain and I'm
27:19
trapped in. Yeah, it's.
27:21
Yeah. So I need you to come pick me up
27:23
all. Right.
27:24
Can you send me a PIN? Yes, I will send you.
27:28
It's the same place you dropped me off.
27:30
Oh, that place. OK.
27:31
Should I come to the front? Yes, you should come to the
27:35
front. Just call me when you are there.
27:38
OK. And I'm going to have.
27:41
Three people when I'm just turning the oh God, the front of
27:44
the building is on fire. You want me to be out here?
27:46
Yes. I need to get out.
27:48
Is that the only exit to the building?
27:50
I look over at everybody else is Is there another exit?
27:53
Fuck if. I no, I don't live here.
27:54
I. Don't know.
27:57
It's usually always a back door. Monty, do you see another door?
28:03
There's a driveway to the back of the building where there's
28:05
parking. OK.
28:07
Go there. We'll be there.
28:09
We'll call you in a minute. I'm just hang up on him, OK?
28:13
All right. And Monty see seems so good.
28:15
Just the back of the building. OK, let's find where the back of
28:18
the building might be. Is there like a an undercarriage
28:22
area for cars? Is that guy still there?
28:26
Sam's just standing there. Is that the the Super, the
28:29
building? He's got a name badge that says
28:31
Sam. Hey, hey, so.
28:34
Hey, is this your building? I just work here man.
28:39
No, yeah. I mean, I know it's kind of like
28:41
a lot right now. There's like fire and dead
28:43
bodies. But we're just trying to get out
28:45
of here, man. So since, you know this place,
28:48
where is the next exit? Like over by a parking.
28:51
What parking? Lot.
28:52
Oh, it's at the back of the building back there.
28:54
The door code is 321 because. We don't give a fuck.
29:00
Yeah, we can figure that out. Four numbers in a row is hard
29:03
though, so it's 321. Fuck.
29:06
God damn it, that's going. To be all.
29:08
Rent. Fuck.
29:09
How are they going to pay rent now if they're dead?
29:11
Shit. Fuck.
29:11
Next to kin. Can.
29:14
Then. Huh.
29:16
Next to kin. Oh, dude, next to kin.
29:18
Fuck yes. Thank you, Corporal.
29:20
All right, fuck these people. I'll see you guys later.
29:22
And he goes off to the office. Whatever.
29:25
I have to deal with that anyway. So yeah, that's why I have debt.
29:31
All. Right.
29:32
Let's see, let's, let's, let's go get into my car.
29:34
I'm going to try and find the back of the building.
29:36
Yeah, where he pointed. That's.
29:37
That's where we're heading. All right.
29:38
At the very back of the building, you see, you can see
29:40
the door. It's right there.
29:42
The door is locked though. I'm going to put the code at
29:44
321. Here it opens.
29:46
OK, I'm going to go. Through it all right, so as
29:50
there's no cover on the outside of the door.
29:51
Oh wait, then I'm going to hold you.
29:52
Look. Out.
29:54
Role perception. Oh gosh.
29:56
No. Oh, can I do I have a a + 2
30:02
because of my eyes? Yeah, yes, if.
30:05
It lets me load. Not.
30:10
Very good 0141516. You will look across the street
30:16
behind the building. There's a few car park spaces on
30:19
either side of the door, but in the building on the opposite
30:23
side, which is mostly glass, you can see the reflection of the
30:26
wall and it's about 2/3 over the building.
30:29
There's some spatter hitting this side but you're not under
30:32
direct rainfall yet and as you're looking at this wave come
30:35
towards you and there are puddles on the ground which
30:38
sizzle. A car slams up in front of you
30:42
and inside is Monty. Hey, hey, open the door please.
30:48
He opens the door. The back door opens
30:50
automatically. Thank you.
30:55
All right everybody, just get in my car.
30:56
We'll figure out where to go from here.
30:58
And I'm going to quickly, I'm going to open my little umbrella
31:01
that has duct tape and I'm going to get into my car all.
31:04
Right, good. Everyone roll Athletics.
31:05
Everyone will pass this check as long as you don't roll a Crypt
31:08
fail. Otherwise you fall over in the
31:09
puddle. It's a 9/10/13 and Remington,
31:20
you are so happy with how you've dealt with everything in this
31:23
building and you swagger out and you fucking eat shit.
31:26
I'm going to. Use that.
31:28
In this acid, the acid burns your trousers and it blades your
31:34
armour your body. I'm using my inspiration to re
31:36
roll that shit. You slip, spin, do a little,
31:42
slide, pull out two, pull out two guns and do finger guns at
31:46
everyone. Smile, put them back in and
31:49
slide into the car and slam the door.
31:52
That is wild. No, I imagine that GIF, you know
31:54
the with the the little boy who's like has the cowboy
31:56
outfit. He spins around, He's like
31:59
finger guns and he's just. Like Remington as a child.
32:05
And now you're in the car and Monty starts to drive out of the
32:08
area. So where to?
32:11
I mean, there's acid rain. You'd need somewhere
32:13
underground, right? Yeah, I don't know this area.
32:19
Monty, you're the driver. Where should we go?
32:21
I don't know this area. You're talking low, my dude.
32:25
Sorry, I was just having a thought to myself before
32:29
speaking out loud. There's one other place that we
32:34
could go. It's pretty quiet, pretty
32:36
silicuted, pretty awesome. It's my favorite bar.
32:40
Oh. Yeah, yeah.
32:43
Where is. That no latency.
32:58
Next time on no latency side quest.
33:03
Whatever they want on my tap, we could run it in.
33:05
That case I will take 6 fingers of gulp and whiskey.
33:08
Whatever you recommend, this place is amazing.
33:11
You have to kill you well. That is fascinating and you just
33:13
absolutely blown my mind. I.
33:15
Never thought of that either. Whoa.
33:17
All about. Branding.
33:18
I mean, I still have to work, so it doesn't really solve my
33:21
problem. Wait, can you just put it in my
33:23
mouth? Wait, is my mouth glittering?
33:25
Take your dreams and do it now. If one of y'all gets shot at,
33:28
can I still open fire? Hey.
33:30
Retro, can you fix this for me? I better get something from
33:32
Santa this year, because we're. The Three Cocked Retro, I
33:35
thought. We were Dicks.
33:36
Just kick it open so I can walk through it.
33:38
Rich and Claire, use your best judgment.
33:40
Fantastic. I have none of that will do I?
33:43
Mean You're the boss, right? I'm a secretary.
33:45
Got to. Go on with confidence.
33:46
This is my product. I have a parade to get going.
33:49
Hey. Listen guys, I'm also one of
33:51
you. My job's on the line.
33:52
Right now we're. Best friends.
33:54
What the absolute fuck. That is what happens when you
33:58
stare straight in the face of death.
