Last time on no latency. Vendel.
0:06
I can't see anything. Is everyone all right?
0:08
All right, all right. Hello.
0:09
Hello, baby, you have to do something fresh.
0:11
What? Why?
0:11
Can I hear you? What are you doing?
0:12
What? The hell was going on?
0:14
Wait, what do you mean there's two lives live?
0:15
That must mean we're still in the BD, but I don't know.
0:17
Yeah, where they would have gone.
0:19
Oh, did you summon the joint into your fingers?
0:22
Yeah. OK.
0:23
That means anything goes. I'll call Vendel.
0:26
Vendel. Vendel.
0:27
Can you hear me? I know, I know.
0:28
It's going to be OK. What does that mean?
0:31
If you die in the game, you die in real life.
0:33
Oh no, there's probably more. Never split the party.
0:36
Let's split up. VV.
0:37
There are piranhas in there I. Just really want to help them
0:40
though. Yeah, you're really good at
0:41
stuff. I I.
0:42
I need some help here. Following Iona's instructions.
0:45
Somebody should take that sweet. All right, be ready to be
0:47
sacrificed. What?
1:00
Well, good job fishing that out, Jeb.
1:03
I knew you had it in you. Yeah.
1:05
Well, you know, this ain't my first time fishing.
1:08
Do you do a lot of fishing in the Badlands?
1:11
Well, we used to have this one whale and we were pretty sure
1:14
that there was a fish down there and we tried over and over to
1:19
try to fish this fish out. All we got were like, you know,
1:23
radioactive decaying elements. And there was a boot once, but I
1:28
fished a whole bunch of stuff out of there.
1:30
None of them was a fish though, so this will continue my streak
1:35
of fishing things that aren't fish.
1:38
Great. Well, Speaking of, we should
1:40
probably go to the well. Oh yeah.
1:43
Oh, the whale, Yeah. Yes.
1:46
Oh, let's go to the well. Oh well.
1:49
So we're just going to. You just want to walk?
1:52
Down just we're just going to go, you walk.
1:54
Down the hallway and it feels like it keeps going forever.
1:58
And then there's this shimmer as you appear at the intersection
2:03
of Psycho Psycho, Cybernetic alleys within this cyberspace.
2:10
As you feel the walls move like blocks.
2:14
As you get to this middle space, you notice that more Watchmen
2:18
have appeared. If you want to avoid their gaze,
2:21
roll Stealth. I shoot.
2:24
Them. Yeah.
2:24
I don't. I just shoot.
2:26
Jeb, you rolled a crit on stealth and.
2:30
You shouldn't. Disappear.
2:32
Where the fuck? Where the fuck did Jeb go?
2:35
And while that happened, VV and Iona In Sync both put their
2:39
hands out in front of them, a gun appears and you fire in
2:44
tandem as your bullets. Fly in parallel, they hit these
2:48
two Watchmen. You watch as they blast and
2:53
explode into pieces in the air. As their fragments glint and
2:59
shine, they disappear into dust. The last watchman walks around
3:03
from one of the crates and screams at you all.
3:08
Everyone roll resist torture drums except Jack Iona.
3:15
Remy and oh, fresh pee did not roll 13 Fresh pee leans forward.
3:23
Iona, why? Why are you shaking?
3:26
The screams are very loud. And as he screams louder and
3:30
louder, he splits in two. As his body contorts, the arms
3:37
extend out. Holy shit.
3:40
And there before you. Out of the shell of the
3:44
Watchmen, A bozo from the real world with a permanent smile and
3:51
a porcelain mask. Oh dear, oh.
3:57
Fuck. Fuck.
3:58
Fuck. Fuck.
3:58
Fuck. Fuck, I'm the only clown around
4:01
here. Odds or evens, Retro the Bozo,
4:06
the boozy. As he laughs, he materializes a
4:09
gun in front of him. Shoots you Iona and the bullet
4:13
hits you where your scar is, and your scar gets bigger in pixels.
4:18
Fuck no. God, it's mine.
4:23
I've been shot before. And you take 14 damage.
4:28
Oh gosh. Shit.
4:30
I'm OK. I'm OK.
4:32
And that one hides behind the crate as two more Watchmen step
4:35
forward, Retro. Your bullet flies through one of
4:39
them. And he splits into I need You to
4:42
roll AD 10. That's crit Fail.
4:47
That guy falls to the ground and his two harbs that have been
4:50
perfectly severed turn into two more.
4:54
Wait, question, Do our power ups still go off because I got this
5:01
one called Scattershot or Spreadshot.
5:04
Well, I'm going to go ahead and use my Spreadshot and see if I
5:07
can shoot them all. Did you win that in the battle
5:09
rail part of this? Yeah, I did.
5:12
I got it in the the, the loop, the loop box, Oh.
5:15
Yes, I mean like you know we're in, we're in the, the virtual
5:18
space. It's worth us having a shot that
5:20
I get it. Take that shot. 23 You blow
5:26
through these Watchmen, and they split into a million pieces.
5:33
Using your scatter shot, they have no chance to come back, and
5:36
all of the Watchmen here in this corridor fall to the ground.
5:42
The last large clown that emerged from one of these beasts
5:46
earlier is the only thing standing in your way of getting
5:50
to the well. It's.
5:53
Fine. I'll shoot it.
5:54
It's fine. Fuck you.
5:56
Fuck you. And as you say, fuck you.
6:01
Put both of your arms out. Iona and two guns appear in your
6:06
hand, and you pull the triggers. As these bullets rip through his
6:13
body, his gun is removed, as well as half of his left arm.
6:18
Digital blood that's been weirdly censored spurts out of
6:23
his left artery on the. In front of his arm, VV.
6:29
You see this opportunity As he stands there.
6:31
He pulls his baseball bat out of his backpack, leans on it.
6:38
Can I slide it and can I use my item?
6:45
I'm going to try to deflect this, actually.
6:48
Just try to deflect whatever he's about to do with the
6:51
baseball bat, OK? Do it.
6:54
Crawling 19 + 10, That is a crit.
6:56
Yes. You smack his baseball bat from
6:59
underneath him. He was leaning on, He falls
7:01
forward, smacks on his face, rolls over, does kind of an
7:06
accidental backflip and lands on top of one of the crates and you
7:09
hear something crack. I'm going to roll.
7:12
Critical injury. That is never good.
7:15
That's a nine. I hear his leg muscle tear in
7:19
half and it sounds like fresh bread being torn.
7:23
Apart. As this this.
7:27
This blood spurt, just it's digitally falling to the ground.
7:33
But you rolled so well, you managed to miss the the the
7:37
blood. So there's a tremendous amount
7:39
of damage to this guy, and now Jed is invisibly in this room
7:44
somewhere. You feel Jeb?
7:46
It's time for the killing blind. You know, maybe we're thinking
7:51
about this wrong. Maybe we got to, you know, fight
7:55
clowns with comedy. And I'd.
7:58
Focus on. Creating a giant anvil that will
8:01
fall onto this clown. Ah.
8:06
Cute. I like that. 20 yeah.
8:10
A large anvil appears mid air, exactly the shape as it is in
8:14
Minecraft, and just falls on this guy and he gets turned into
8:20
Jelly, like an imprint of a anvil in his chest as he as he
8:24
starts to lash as he slowly dissolves into pixels.
8:34
Oh, that was disturbing. Good job.
8:38
Jeff Beef kind of squashed the beef.
8:40
That's a good idea. We sure we.
8:42
It was a it was a team effort, everyone.
8:44
Great work. Half.
8:45
I was all over. Oh shit.
8:45
Jeff, where the hell did you just come from?
8:47
Not, not. Not me.
8:48
Not me. Oh, right.
8:50
Well, the finger guns to you, LAN.
8:53
Are you not feeling OK? I was fucking shot fresh.
8:59
Let me let me take a look. Oh, doctors on the case.
9:04
Can you make a typo or something?
9:06
Yes. So I hold up the blank hypo and
9:11
think about a like stem heel inside of it too.
9:18
And I'm about to. I just go for it on Iona like
9:22
some thinking about it. 11. OK.
9:26
Yeah. Oh, look at that.
9:28
That's a six. Nice.
9:30
You give Iona 6 help. Did that help?
9:33
Do you feel better? Yes.
9:36
A6 appear above Iona's head with A plus next to it and it turns
9:39
green and disappears. That's cool.
9:42
Oh yeah, Cyberspace is wild. Look, if you like.
9:46
You know how Remy can put like things on his face?
9:48
You can do that too. Look what And.
9:50
Philip squeezes his eyes really hard and a silly face emoji
9:54
appears above his head for like a few seconds.
9:58
I I concentrate really hard and a giant middle finger appears
10:01
above my head. Right.
10:03
Good. Hey Iona, what's your favorite
10:07
food? Crab cakes.
10:09
Think of crab cakes really hard. I'm thinking it smells like crab
10:14
cakes in here. Smells delicious.
10:17
Not like crab cakes. Crab cakes.
10:20
Oh look, there are crab cakes here.
10:22
That's cool. Here you go.
10:24
What was the point of that I? Just dropped one.
10:28
I'm sorry. Here you go.
10:29
Try eating one of the crab cakes.
10:32
Why 'cause you're not you when you're hungry.
10:35
Maybe just try it. Come on.
10:38
I materialize a fork in my hand. Do you eat it?
10:42
I eat it. You gain 1HP and A1 appears
10:44
above your head. Well, that's good to know.
10:47
Video game rules. I can't argue with that.
10:49
As the GM, that's genius. Yes, Inspiration.
10:53
Well, if you want to enjoy your crab cakes as we go to the well.
10:57
I'm not really that hungry, but thank you.
11:00
Let's go. Hopefully you're feeling well.
11:02
Let's go. To the well.
11:08
Yes. You walk down the corridor and
11:13
as you walk down the corridor you get to the very end as
11:17
you're here at the well as you arrive.
11:20
Somebody wrote a perception. Don't look at me.
11:23
Oh precept. 21 VV Yes. Nevermind.
11:28
You look around the room and you see a few crates.
11:31
There are some regular faded lines on the ground that kind of
11:34
look like circuits, and then there are some colored ones in
11:36
here, and there are three Watchmen lined up against the
11:40
wall, and behind them are two force fields that you're fairly
11:44
certain from previous experience you won't be able to push your
11:47
way through. OK, it looks like there's some
11:50
circuit lines on the ground here, like 3 different colors
11:54
and some Watchmen in certain colors.
11:57
Maybe we have to match up these Watchmen.
12:01
With the circuits. All right, I I go over to the
12:05
yellow. The yellow circuit box.
12:10
Come here. Not, not you.
12:12
You come here? Mate, Roll, roll Persuasion.
12:17
Come here. Oh, that's a 16.
12:26
Three. No.
12:29
So the yellow one takes a step towards you.
12:33
Good, good, good. Somebody else should probably be
12:36
doing the same thing. Oh, OK, I'll, I'll go over to
12:40
the the blue one. The red guy looks at you.
12:46
No, you you you go away. No, I I'd like the the blue one,
12:52
please. They're scaring me.
12:54
Role persuasion, OK, I'm just trying to talk to Vic.
13:04
Great podcasting. 20 It works. The red one nods at you, just
13:11
looks at VV, and instead of going towards the red box is now
13:14
actively going for VV. Hold on, I've got an idea and.
13:20
Jeb walks over to just behind the end of the.
13:25
Blue. What do you want to call?
13:29
This square. Circuit box.
13:31
Yeah, just the end of the blue circuit box and pulls out his
13:36
grapple. Gun.
13:37
All right, Stay right there. And.
13:39
Back 26, you'd latch onto the blue guy as he was distracted by
13:45
Iona and he comes careening across the room and is now
13:50
standing right next to you and. As he like approaches I.
13:54
Punch him in the head so he gets knocked out.
13:57
Cold rolling? Really.
14:00
He's he's careening towards me at quite the speed and I'm not
14:05
even me punching more, just bracing myself and putting my
14:08
fist out. Oh, are you doing like one of
14:10
those, like clothesline, like? Absolutely.
14:13
I'm clotheslining him, yes. 19 Yes, you managed to knock him
14:19
out cold. His feet fly up, Jeb.
14:22
You knocked him out of his. Shoes.
14:24
Yeah, actually, what kind of shoes he got.
14:26
Shoes fall off Oh. Those are very.
14:28
One of them turns into a coin and starts spinning on the
14:31
ground. Oh, I think you do it.
14:33
You get 100 eddies. I'm going to move toward the red
14:37
circuit. He comes around the corner, puts
14:40
both of his arms out, and starts to walk towards you.
14:43
You're now standing behind these crates.
14:45
Fresh pee is trying to not be noticed.
14:49
Fresh pee. Roll something.
14:51
Fresh pea rolling something that's.
14:53
My best fresh pea. I can do impressions.
14:59
I can do impressions. That's an impression of me.
15:07
No, no, that's Baby Thanos. Don't bring back some.
15:09
Lord, I'm baby theaters. 16, yes.
15:14
Fresh manages to step sideways as the red guy walks just shy of
15:20
the box. What are you going to do,
15:21
Phoebe? I want to pull a box in front of
15:25
him and behind him and box him in.
15:28
OK. Oh, you should I push the box
15:30
behind. Him.
15:31
Yes, please. Thanks, Fresh.
15:33
You got it. All right, I'll roll for that.
15:35
You're roll for that. For this I'm roll for.
15:37
This you just. Oh my God, Phoebe.
15:40
I rolled the zero. You roll A0, you pull one of the
15:44
boxes and it lands on top of you and now you are on the ground
15:49
with a box on top of you with one of these guys coming at you
15:52
and he screams loudly. Roll.
15:54
Resist torture drugs. I'm over the box fine.
15:58
It was a good plus. 15 is enough.
16:02
You managed to hold on to your senses, and now he's standing
16:06
above you, reaching down about to attack you.
16:09
Large talons come out from between his fingers, and there's
16:13
this macabre smell of rotting flesh. 12 Roll Evasion B to 12
16:21
here. We go. 17 Yes, as he tries to
16:25
swipe at you with these blades, he misses, scraping the crate on
16:29
top of you and sending a chill down your spine.
16:32
Do you want to tack back? Yes, I'm going to.
16:36
There's a box on top of me with this, this zombie.
16:39
Basically, I'm going to do a cool.
16:41
I'm trying to think like Neo. Or Trinity and do a cool like
16:47
slip out from under the box and use the box to go and do a flip
16:53
and jump on top of it to like attack it.
16:57
So you're trying to knock this guy out with the box and then
17:00
land on top of the box in a cool?
17:03
I'm. Going to try athletics I'm going
17:07
to use. Two luck.
17:08
The box flips into the air. It does a spin around one of the
17:13
corners, looking like a spinning D6 and like AD 6, like AD six.
17:18
You do a triple flip in the air, land on top of it, do a
17:21
pirouette, land on top of this watchman knocking him out, and
17:27
as his body hits the floor, feel your triumphant moment as he
17:32
lets out a grunting way. Let the bodies in the flow.
17:37
Let the bodies. In the flow.
17:39
Now that two of these colour coded Watchmen have have found
17:43
themselves on their specific spots, those two lines light up
17:47
so blue and red light up. Come here, come here.
17:55
And the the last watchman, the the one with a yellow glow,
17:59
comes walking towards Iona. He stops outside the box and
18:04
starts to raise his hands. I materialize my lightning whip
18:09
and what I'm going to do is I'm just going to whip it around the
18:14
watchman's hands so that his hands are in my control and a
18:19
kind of bondage esque, and then shock him to knock him out.
18:22
Oh, nice. Yeah, roll for it.
18:24
And then it's what it's a cool trick.
18:27
So I get +2. I believe that chip is +3.
18:30
Plus 3MM. Hmm.
18:31
So 16. 16 Yes, that is enough. The watchman spins around as you
18:37
grab him. You flip the whip around and it
18:41
seems to endlessly wrap its way around this watchman.
18:46
The the knot spins around like 2 vines around a central piece and
18:50
now this watchman is hog tied and Shibari lambs on his side.
18:58
Looking at you, the last bit of the whip catches around his
19:03
mouth and keeps wrapping around his head, and with the pressure
19:08
around his body, he gets electrified.
19:14
The body falls into the yellow box on the ground.
19:17
The yellow light around this watchman shoots along the line
19:21
towards the two fields and you hear a confirmation.
19:28
I I think we've done it. I think that means we did
19:30
something cool. Your favorite multiverse hopping

Wherever you get your podcasts, the multiverse is a strange
20:30
place. You want to check the bodies.
20:41
Yeah, I'll check the bodies. Yes.
20:43
Yeah, let's take a look. Let's see, I'm terrible.
20:49
I'm actually going to press the button on my wrist and
20:51
materialize the pink latex gloves.
20:55
Nice that Remy made for me. And then search the body. 12,
21:00
yes. Retro, you find a disc.
21:03
Oh, a disc. Iona 19 Very good.
21:09
As you push past the digital blood, it moves as it's
21:14
continues to pixelate as you see it get more and more gruesome as
21:17
it stains the ground, the rope cutting into this watchman's
21:21
arm. Why is he bleeding?
21:23
You find a disc. And who else is looking?
21:27
I suppose I'll take a look. Now the disk I find is that ACD
21:30
disk or is that a floppy disk? Or is it a flying disk?
21:34
It's a disk, so it's a frisbee. So I look at the disk and it
21:41
looks to be AQR code of types. So I pull out my tile and I scan
21:47
it and it came up with a color code.
21:52
Isn't that normally the sort of thing that Retro discovers?
21:54
That's cool. Some role changing.
21:56
That's cool all. Right.
21:59
Sorry, Retro was busy doing his own thing.
22:01
So disc 4T is, well, purely the color red.
22:07
Disc 40. 4T. 4. T. 4T got it 4.
22:13
Zero right now 14. 4 Thomas Red oh.
22:17
Oh, 40, not 40. Wait, 40, not 40?
22:22
What the hell you talking about? This is an.
22:23
This is an audio show 4T. Oh.
22:27
As in the number four, the letter T.
22:30
It's all coming together. Right FF it's a hue, it's it's
22:35
it's a hex hue. FF0000 which is red.
22:41
That's, that's 4T, yes. Oh, and disc J7 is yellow.
22:46
So what's the? Other one the.
22:48
Other one must be blue. Look, yeah.
22:50
I'm going to go ahead and put a disc J7 on the yellow on the
22:55
yellow end of this. You put it next to the yellow
22:59
body. I put 40 with the red body.
23:06
I put G6 with blue. Little little, little, little,
23:10
little. Nothing happened.
23:12
All right. Like, no, that's wrong.
23:15
I open the door. All right, go on in.
23:17
You walk into the second Chamber of this room.
23:20
And there at the end, behind a sizzling force field in the air,
23:25
is a well, A red glow comes from the depths of this seemingly
23:31
endless hole, and from the angle that you're at, you can sort of
23:35
see that it's floating, but it's pretty far down.
23:39
Should we? I'm going back to get the red
23:41
disc. Should we put the red disc in
23:43
the well to put the? But if it's not right, then no,
23:48
no willing to come back. No, no, no.
23:51
Look, there's podiums around us with what looks like disk.
23:54
Slots and it looks like it lines up with the lines that come out
23:59
to the other side that have then have colors on them.
24:02
It sure does. I put.
24:04
J7 on the one on the right, which lines up to with the
24:07
yellow line that crossed the door.
24:08
I put the the red in the middle slot.
24:12
Who had the yellow? One I already put the yellow one
24:15
on, that's J7. Oh, I had the blue one.
24:17
Sorry. I'll put the blue one in the
24:19
slot. Oh, you like suspense?
24:21
I'm with you. Yeah, yeah.
24:26
There it is. We did it.
24:27
Part of the field opens up like an archway, and across the very
24:31
edge of it, digital flowers Grow Like Vines invited you to step
24:36
into the Rose little sanctuary. OK, I go in.
24:42
Anybody else coming with me I'll?
24:44
Follow. As a bull's alcohol.
24:46
You're standing next to this well, it's a steel tube coming
24:50
up from the ground and they're very, very, very far down at the
24:54
bottom. Is a red glowing light, Jeff.
24:59
Jeff, I can't seem to find a way in here.
25:03
I tried. I can't get through.
25:06
Try now. No, you closed it open.
25:09
It. Oh God damn.
25:12
Jeff, don't pull in. I almost see that.
25:14
Trip. Oh no.
25:15
Retro's staying outside just in case something happens.
25:19
Here's Here's the thing. It's just like the other thing.
25:22
Can't we fish it out? Or we can use a Wait a minute, I
25:26
got an idea. I'm going to think about wearing
25:28
a jetpack. Jeb, if you fall to the bottom
25:30
of this well and die. But I have a jetpack.
25:35
Jeb, if you die in the game, you die in real life.
25:37
It's true. 16 You materialize A jetpack.
25:40
See. OK.
25:41
Does it have fuel in it? Does it have fuel in it?
25:44
I checked the fuel. It is empty.
25:45
Well here I got an idea and I start tying a rope that is now
25:49
there onto my. Waist.
25:52
And I say here, hold on to this. Are you a 50 foot of Hampton,
25:54
right? Right, Jeb.
25:57
Jeb, how is this easier than fishing?
26:00
Because we can see easier, hey? How's it going in there?
26:03
Odd, Really great. I'm about about to be doing some
26:06
spelunking, but with a jet pack. All right, hold on.
26:10
I grabbed Jeb's jet pack and I think about fueling it to the
26:15
Tippity top. All right, looks.
26:21
Full All right now. Move on to the rope.
26:23
Here we go. You you hold it and you look at
26:27
the gauge and the the tube fuel is yellow, but what fills inside
26:32
it is a thick, gelatinous clear liquid that seems to hold
26:36
bubbles in a very weird way and smells incredibly strongly of
26:40
alcohol. You have filled this jetpack
26:44
with hand sanitizer. Jib, I don't think that's right.
26:48
I mean, it looks full to me. Didn't you say you just filled
26:50
it up? It doesn't look like fuel.
26:54
I'm. Going to be honest, I have no
26:56
idea what jetpack fuel looks like.
26:58
Yes, you do. I do.
27:03
I Do You know what fuel looks like, Jab.
27:07
I'm very Do you know? And he looks like, what the hell
27:12
does a jet pack use to fuel? Is it jet fuel?
27:15
He's a gasoline. He's a fucking propane.
27:18
I do. I just said it was Tum 2.
27:20
You know what color Tum 2 is? Well, that I do.
27:24
I do know what Tum 2 is. Yeah, that's for sure.
27:27
What is the Is the Jetpack powered by Sterno?
27:30
Roll Local Expert, then Jeb. Crit fail.
27:32
Crit fail. Crit fail.
27:33
Crit fail. Crit fail.
27:35
Ten. Yes, because knowing the color
27:38
of tomb two is like a seven. So great.
27:43
So it's meant to be the amber of good whiskey.
27:48
Yeah, I don't know this thing. This ain't jetpack fuel.
27:53
What the hell? Did you put in this thing?
27:55
I don't know. Maybe it works.
27:57
Turn it on. All right.
28:04
This is one of those moments when it's a really good thing
28:06
that you are fast. I need you to roll evasion.
28:10
Oh boy. Iona's about to kill Jeb. 17 All
28:19
right, what do I roll? Oh, OK, you feel it try and
28:24
ignite. And then you feel it get really,
28:26
really hot in your hands. And it starts to.
28:34
When I take it off my back and I throw it down the hole.
28:37
Throw it down the well 20 You roll the crit.
28:40
Let's go. You throw it down the well and
28:43
it flies down here, and it you see it go past the red light.
28:49
And it explodes and there's this rumble.
28:52
The ground literally ripples like it's a liquid, and you all
28:56
have to roll evasion to see if you fall over.
28:59
Jeb, you roll a 21, you jump over the ripple VV.
29:04
You also jump over the ripple Rolling A-15 Retro.
29:09
You jump over your ripple, Iona, You jump over yours and.
29:13
Hold on, I'm getting fresh. Peas, hold on.
29:17
Oops, I hit brawling. Whatever.
29:21
Fresh P rolls of 15 jumps over his I need everyone to roll AD
29:24
10. I own A roll 2.
29:26
Oh shit. Wow, I need Iona and VV.
29:32
Oh God. As the explosion comes to its
29:34
apex, this red light comes firing up the well.
29:38
As it flies up, it actually comes out of the well.
29:41
And there, floating in mid air, defying gravity for but a
29:45
moment, is a big red key. Retro you go to jump for it and
29:50
very much miss and as you go to try and grab the key you
29:55
actually start to fall towards the opening of the well Iona.
29:58
Super jump I super jump, super push us both past the well.
30:04
Iona jumps into the air, grabs retro, and you guys fly across
30:08
the room. Jumping through the opening of
30:11
the force field and landing outside VV as the key flies
30:17
through the air, you do a wicked backflip for your crit and you
30:20
grab the key mid air landing on the ground and a spoon.
30:25
You do a little spin. Whoa, whoa, what the what?
30:29
I got it. You got?
30:31
It I got the key. Oh, hell yeah.
30:34
Thanks, Iona. You're welcome, right?
30:36
Hand sanitize. Hold on.
30:38
Hold on. Can you get your knee off with
30:41
startup? OK.
30:43
Yeah. Sorry.
30:44
Likes you? Would would you like some?
30:46
I'm fucked. Just squat and sanitizer.
30:48
All over his chest, but it feels like bits can rub and and it
31:02
starts to dry. You feel your skin and you need
31:05
a. Towel.
31:05
I'll go get a towel. Materialize a towel roll for it.
31:20
Materialize a towel in hand sanitizer and it just on on top
31:24
of retro. Oh God, there's even more
31:28
everywhere. This is the worst you've ever
31:34
heard. Oh, stop it.
31:38
It's not that bad. Oh, and you're really crying
31:43
now. If.
31:44
I had two ducts. I would, but they'd be burning
31:47
from the alcohol I. Mean, I mean that's one of the
31:49
benefits also we're in cyberspace so.
31:52
So that's nice. None of.
31:54
This is real. Hey.
31:57
Did you guys do anything to make sure those guys outside wouldn't
32:00
like, wake up and move? One of them is tied up, the
32:03
other one's beneath a box. Yeah, and.
32:05
What about the third one? And the doors lock as you see
32:12
the blue glowing Watchmen walk past the window.
32:16
Who's that? Oh God, we're locked in.
32:21
What? Jeb?
32:22
What? We're actually locked.
32:23
We can't get out. We're stuck in here.
32:26
Somebody that operate a a grenade launcher or something to
32:30
bust this thing down. I don't think that's going to
32:33
can Risky get through this again?
32:34
Yes. I, I yeah.
32:36
OK All right. I tap Risky.
32:39
No, your phone is ringing. Oh, it sounded like risky.
32:42
They sound very similar. I Hello.
32:45
Really gotta change that, that ringtone?
32:47
I don't know. It's been a while.
32:48
You haven't said anything. What's going?
32:50
On, I'm so sorry, we we have two keys.
32:52
We have two two color keys. So we we're coming.
32:57
However, we did just get locked in A room.
32:59
Oh, you've got to be fucking kidding me.
33:02
I know. OK, well, I'll just stay here,
33:05
alone in the dark, quieter. Quieter.
33:06
That's right, I'll just. Say here alone in the dark.
33:10
We're coming as fast as we can. OK, hold it.
33:15
Then. Nearby I OK.
33:17
I don't know if they're attracted to sound or to light.
33:21
Or anything. So maybe turn off your leg.
33:23
Yeah. And then stay crouched and
33:26
quiet. OK.
33:27
OK. I'll call you back.
33:29
All right. OK.
33:30
Bye. Love you.
33:31
Come. Don't forget to say me.
33:33
I have risky. OK, Ellen.
33:39
Oh, OK. Risky.
33:40
I need you to you see that blue watchman?
33:43
I need you to lure it to that blue box.
33:46
Ellen. All right.
33:49
A little heavy on the woos, but that's OK.
33:54
It risky falls to the ground and walks through the force field
33:57
again. This seems to be a force field
34:00
that lets non organic things through and it walks up to the
34:04
Watchmen roll for it. How are you getting the?
34:08
Whoa for it. Whoa for it.
34:12
Whoa for it. Whoa for it.
34:15
Fuck it. Bureaucracy 21 and the watchman
34:20
gets attracted to Risky. You're all 21, so I can't really
34:24
argue that's not working. And attracts this this creature
34:30
to the blue box on the ground. The line lights up and the
34:34
windows open. Everyone roll evasion.
34:37
As long as you roll over A1, you walk through. #4 Watchmen Watch
34:43
VV 12 Yes Spoon 20 Yes, I own a 20.
34:47
Yes fresh, doing a great job and retro.
34:54
Philip 21. Everyone makes it through the
34:57
field and the watchman walks towards the wall where Risky is.
35:01
He's facing away from the wall at the moment and the force
35:04
fields close once again. I shoot it in the back of the
35:07
head. 18 Yes, you shoot it in the back of the head and it
35:13
dematerializes into a haze of pixel.
35:16
I mean, I guess we better just put them all down there, huh?
35:19
I'll shoot the other one. I I guess. 21 You shoot the
35:24
yellow one and he fizzles into a lightning bolt.
35:29
Mid air that's yellow, and then that cracks and disappears into
35:33
dust. A coin falls.
35:36
Oh fine baby. Go ahead.
35:38
The last one. I smash it and crush it with
35:43
box. 13 Yeah, you grab the box and you push down and you feel
35:48
the box crumple like a can and you suddenly have unfathomable
35:53
strength as you crush on top of him.
35:57
You feels the bones of this digital fiend underneath here
36:01
crack. His body splats into blood.
36:05
Unfortunately, you rolled well enough to hit him, not well
36:08
enough for the for the digital blood to stain your digital
36:12
white coat. And now your legs are covered in
36:16
pixelated blood. Oh, not good.
36:18
Oh. What did my coin give me?
36:22
100 Eddies, hey. OK.
36:24
All right, well, we solved 2 puzzles.
36:26
We've got 2 keys. It's time to find Bendel.
36:44
Next time on no latency I. Was afraid for that, I know, but
36:54
we are on our way right now. I think we have everything to
36:58
get into the room where you are. Is everything all right?
37:01
No. Nothing's all right right now.
37:03
Have you not been paying attention?
37:04
It smells good. You've never looked better all
37:06
oiled up like that. I'm just glistening right now.
37:09
Feel free to report it, they don't work for us.
37:11
What if they climbed on the walls or something?
37:13
Oh, like spiders. I'm just a gobble a hat.
37:18
Or a man is a spider in a clown costume still?
37:20
Wait a minute, I think I got another idea.
37:22
Do you think there's time? Holy shit.
37:24
Go Vendel. No, Vendel.
37:26
Motherfucker, look at me. Wait.
37:29
What the hell? What?
37:30
There's gotta be another life. Happy Halloween.
37:32
That's the scariest thing of. All where is there a yellow key?
37:35
Why are you glowing? Are you going to make this saw?
37:38
Please yes I I almost got it. I'm stuck.
37:41
I just need a a few more minutes are.
