0:39

Venturors! Howdy heroes, thanks for

0:41

returning to OneShot, it's me your host and

0:43

GM Dylan, and it is time for a

0:45

brand new series beginning this week. Strap

0:48

in because I'm about to gush about this

0:50

table and this game for a few minutes

0:52

before we start. So the

0:54

next few weeks on OneShot, we

0:56

sat down to play a session

0:59

of Orbital Blues from Soul Muppet

1:01

Publishing. Orbital Blues is

1:03

a game about sad space cowboys. It

1:06

is a game about moving on from your

1:08

past pain and into the unknown and boy

1:10

did I have a great gang to explore

1:12

that kind of story with. I

1:15

had first heard about Orbital Blues from listening

1:17

to the season that was done over on

1:19

many-sided media as my first dungeon. And

1:22

then to my surprise and absolute delight,

1:24

I was approached by Edward Spence to

1:26

be in a short series playing Orbital

1:28

Blues in Blackstar on RP

1:30

Geeks, the finale of which actually airs

1:32

the same day as this episode by

1:34

the way, just FYI.

1:37

Both of these beautiful shows featured

1:40

Draconix playing their character blank. So

1:43

I invited Shanuk and Brian, two parts of

1:45

the many-sided media team, and Edward and Draconix,

1:47

two true actual play cowboys, to play out

1:49

a shorter story in this game with me

1:52

here. One very exciting

1:54

thing about this is that across all

1:56

three of these, in that order, Drak

1:58

continues blank storyline. The While this

2:00

one shot operate separately as a concise

2:03

story of you wanna here blank, full

2:05

tail, my First Dungeon Black Star and

2:07

then finally here is where you want

2:09

to go. This. Game And these people

2:11

are literal treasures to me and I hope you fall

2:13

in love with them the way that I have. Why:

2:16

You listen to the story we tell over the next

2:18

few episodes of One Shot. Enjoy! The

2:20

show. How.

2:32

Well the friend to on my

2:34

beautiful, wonderful one shot studio That's

2:37

definitely a real place in real

2:39

physical space and not assume call.

2:41

I'm so happy that you could

2:44

join me here today! We're going.

2:46

To be posted I get her I went

2:48

to sleep and I you. Know when

2:50

I had the same thing? Yeah,

2:52

well, it's you may not

2:55

remember because you were being

2:57

a little bit reckless and

2:59

irresponsible last night, but you

3:02

did agree to get into

3:04

the limo and. Come.

3:06

Here to the studio. He did offers. I'd

3:10

shoot that usually Trc Asian network

3:12

provided candy to you. Yes of

3:14

the from was We got in

3:16

the back of this limo and

3:19

I remember expecting Twizzlers truck with

3:21

and getting Neko wafers and a

3:23

circus peanuts and I gotta say.

3:25

Not. My Sam know my favorite not my say. What

3:28

you don't who six like

3:30

dry cotton. this is that

3:32

the sort of congeals as

3:34

you it either. I

3:36

expected Twizzlers and I will be getting to

3:38

see I misspoke. This entire page is when

3:40

you said get in back of the little

3:43

I got in the trunk so I don't

3:45

understand. Or. That

3:47

was what the begging was. Okay

3:49

guy. actually i would say

3:51

that you followed instructions in an

3:54

exceptional larry ah whereas everybody else

3:56

kind of just made an assumption

3:58

but that's but that's I'm not

4:00

here to play favorites or anything like that.

4:02

I'm not here to pass judgment, but You

4:06

won't be leaving until we tell

4:08

a satisfying story here today. So

4:10

that's the that's the deal That's

4:13

unfair. Yeah We

4:16

agreed to that part track we have If

4:19

you'll notice like out the window There

4:22

are crowds and crowds of people here that

4:24

are ready to watch us craft this story

4:26

together. Those are the heroes that

4:29

are the one-shot Network listeners fans

4:32

and patreon subscribers and I would

4:34

like for them to get to know you all

4:37

and how amazing and awesome and delightful you are

4:40

And I want us all to get to

4:42

know each other a little bit better so that we

4:44

can play this game in a comfy Cozy way so

4:46

I'm gonna ask you to introduce

4:49

yourselves to tell the audience how amazing

4:51

you are And I'm gonna

4:53

ask you to tell me what

4:55

fictional character death has

4:57

hit you the hardest and And

5:03

I will start with

5:05

my friend Incredible

5:09

and wonderful you are Um,

5:11

oh boy, I hi.

5:14

I'm Jack or jaconex I'm a teacher

5:16

but you produce a paper form right

5:18

so all of that jazz Everything

5:20

anything pg related I'm doing or will be

5:22

doing If I'm

5:24

on socials at your conics sst. Are a

5:27

ka and IQ you es and I

5:30

have a hand in making pretty awesome things. I think

5:32

so I want to pat myself on the back about

5:34

that But

5:37

a kind of death that stuck with me a fictional

5:39

character there Okay,

5:42

I I'm a big fan

5:44

of anime and they're

5:46

just anime called Moriarty the Patriots

5:50

and it's essentially like a Japanese retelling

5:52

of Sherlock by a falling Moriarty rise

5:54

in Sherlock and Spoiler

5:57

alert Moriarty dies Oh

6:00

fuck off! Fuck off!

6:03

Woah! And

6:07

it honestly, it was really sad because

6:10

in the 3D playing Moriarty was more

6:12

of an anti-hero than an outright villain.

6:15

So he definitely like grow to love and like care

6:17

for him. So him dying. Not

6:21

even to like push the buttons or show like but

6:23

to like push her to be better. Yeah.

6:27

I was definitely very sad about it and

6:29

I had like an obsession of playing like

6:31

characters like Moriarty after that for quite a

6:33

while. So I think yeah,

6:36

Moriarty from Moriarty the Patriot. Good

6:39

solid answer. Delicious. Thank you.

6:42

Brian. Tell everybody how incredible and wonderful

6:44

you are. Hey, my name is Brian Flaherty.

6:46

I'm pretty incredible and wonderful. I

6:49

am one of the executive producers of

6:51

Many-Sided Media. We make TTRBG podcasts like

6:53

My First Dungeon and Talk at the

6:55

Table and the usual

6:58

host of My First Dungeon and sometimes GM.

7:01

And I think I

7:04

feel like this is a common answer for

7:06

anyone because I also was have

7:08

been very into anime at like fluctuating times. And

7:12

one of the first animes I watched was

7:14

Fullmetal Alchemist. And just by saying that anyone who's

7:16

ever watched the show knows exactly what that's I'm talking

7:18

about. Yeah, I think

7:20

I was in high school and I didn't know

7:22

you were allowed to be that sad on television.

7:26

Fully didn't know.

7:28

And I remember I watched it

7:30

at like five or six p.m.

7:33

at night just thinking, oh, what another fun episode

7:35

of this great show. And then

7:37

it ruined. Ruined. Yeah.

7:44

Oh, I'm so sorry. It's

7:46

very funny to me to be ruined by a

7:48

show that is also as silly as Fullmetal

7:51

Alchemist can be. So much

7:54

range. It's

7:56

like the first time I watched Neon Genesis

7:58

Evangelion. The first like six-step- episodes of

8:00

that are very fun and wacky and

8:02

those like, yeah, sacredized dance moves in

8:05

one episode. And then from one episode

8:07

to the next, it absolutely destroys you.

8:12

Chanuk, my love, can you tell everybody how

8:14

amazing you are? Yeah. Hey,

8:17

everyone. I'm Chanuk Tisara. I

8:20

am a stand-up actor, writer, director,

8:23

AP performer. I'm also

8:25

one of the executive producers

8:27

of Many-Sided Media with Brian. Yeah.

8:30

I am the

8:32

chaos engine, maybe. Yeah.

8:36

And I think a fictional

8:38

character that I

8:40

love, I'm like, well, whatever. Love

8:43

is, that's a weird way to say that. But

8:45

from Avatar the Last Airbender, I think, Lieutenant,

8:47

you don't get to see Uncle

8:50

Ira's son die. But that death

8:52

is so meaningful to the story and

8:55

also provides, I think, one of the

8:58

best moments in Tales of

9:00

Ba Sing Se episode and

9:03

probably one of the best shopping

9:06

and thought filler episodes ever,

9:08

honestly. But

9:11

Lou tends that. And the importance of that to the

9:13

entire story is so well

9:15

done. Yeah, it's a good

9:17

one. Oh, it's getting

9:19

sad in here already. Hey, my darling,

9:22

can you tell everybody how amazing you

9:24

are? I can certainly try.

9:27

I am Ed. I'm a forever

9:29

GM, very happily so. You can

9:31

find me floating from channel to

9:33

channel, working on incredible projects like

9:35

Beyond the Brook, 10-episode miniseries about

9:38

five children lost in the mysterious wilderness

9:40

known as the Backwoods. You can find

9:42

me over on RP Geeks running another

9:44

ultimately miniseries, which you and Drak

9:46

I believe are in. Cool. Max, don't.

9:49

Weird. And you

9:51

will soon be able to see me, depending on

9:53

when this comes out, running the One

9:55

Ring campaign over Wounded Warrior Project, where

9:57

we are telling the imagined next. chapter

10:00

in the world of Lord of the Rings which

10:02

I'm very very excited about. And

10:06

character death. This

10:09

one's also a bit of a cop-out because it's

10:11

not technically a death but I

10:14

got into monthly comics

10:18

halfway through Grant Morrison's run on

10:20

Batman which I to

10:23

this day I think is maybe one of the best

10:25

runs in comics ever and

10:27

their story Batman

10:29

R.I.P. Superheroes

10:32

dying is kind of like a dime a dozen

10:34

at this point but it

10:36

provides such a beautiful

10:39

analysis not only

10:42

of character death in comics but

10:44

also just of Batman

10:46

and how every single version of Batman

10:48

that you like whether it's the silly

10:50

60s version or the grim and gritty 80s

10:52

Miller version like all of them exist

10:54

within the same space and the canon

10:56

and all of them are valid and I

11:00

think it's one of the most monumental

11:03

stories in comics history and then obviously

11:05

Bruce Wayne came back and it was

11:07

fine but yeah I think that run

11:11

of the most exciting the Batman

11:14

line has been that yeah it's

11:17

telling new and different stories which

11:19

is very very difficult to do

11:21

in comics where everything is six

11:23

mccull. So yeah Batman R.I.P. phenomenal

11:26

story and yeah

11:28

I think just because of what that means to

11:30

me I think so yeah

11:32

it's not that I really know

11:34

it's delicious answer it's a good answer and it

11:36

I don't think it's a cop-out I

11:38

think I mean how many people would answer

11:40

this question by saying our tax from never-ending story

11:43

and our tax fully comes back to life by

11:45

the end of the movie like it but it's

11:47

still it doesn't matter like it still hits you

11:49

the way it hits you and

11:51

I am Dylan you know me because I live

11:53

here but my favorite fictional character death or the

11:56

one that has hit me the hardest is

11:58

MK or Mika from

12:01

Orphan Black, which

12:04

is one of the most gruesome, it doubles

12:07

as the most gruesome onscreen death I think

12:09

I've ever seen. And

12:12

it's shot in

12:14

like a single shot

12:16

rotating between Tatiana Maslany

12:18

playing both characters in

12:20

the scene like right

12:23

before her death. And just

12:25

utterly beautiful and utterly brutal.

12:28

And it's just a

12:31

moment of like self sacrifice for

12:34

a character that did everything

12:36

possible to survive up until

12:40

that point. And so making that self

12:42

sacrifice was just like this enormous

12:45

earth shattering moment of

12:48

a massive

12:51

character growth and a character change

12:53

just in the end. And

12:55

I hate it. I hate

12:59

it and it's beautiful. Oh

13:02

my God, that's it. I can't put it off

13:04

anymore. We have to go to face. It

13:09

feels like based on that question, this is going

13:11

to be one of those like happy go lucky

13:14

fun space games. Yeah, we're like,

13:17

this is just a romp that we're going to have, I

13:19

think. Yeah, big

13:21

old romp. All right. We

13:24

can we can go to space now. Space

13:40

ain't supposed to be this right. It's

13:43

not natural.

13:46

Literally, it ain't natural. Artificial

13:48

light casters and white hot

13:50

reflectors have the whole gentevelle

13:53

system lit up 24 seven.

13:56

Also that the boots can keep an eye on the

13:58

floating gold mines that fill space here. The

14:02

trash left behind from a forgotten,

14:04

gone, or dead civilization is full,

14:06

or in text so advanced that

14:09

riches await anyone who can scavenge these

14:11

rocks without getting whisked away by the

14:13

boots. This

14:15

bright, ever-bright space

14:19

never gets dark. So much so that you

14:22

probably have to have the hood

14:24

down a bit to shield up so that

14:26

you can get some rest some

14:29

part of the day. We see

14:31

a massive

14:33

barge-like ship floating,

14:36

and if we zoom far

14:38

out, we'll see other ships

14:41

kind of laying in wait among

14:43

the floating trash piles

14:46

that consume the space between

14:48

planets here. But

14:50

on this barge is where

14:52

you all are. And

14:55

I want to start

14:58

with our captain. Uh,

15:02

Rust, where would you be most

15:05

days on the ship? I'm

15:08

gonna land me a truck, probably! Uh,

15:11

so up, sort of, by the

15:13

controls. Rust, coming

15:17

in at around 6'2", the

15:20

definition of a gentle giant, broad-sholded,

15:24

barrel-chested man in around his 80s,

15:27

is the build of a really old-school boxer

15:29

with a bit of a big-ut sort of

15:31

gently protruding out of his cream-coloured checkered shirt,

15:34

over which you can see he's wearing a

15:37

very roughed-up brown

15:39

suede jacket. And

15:42

as he's looking out through

15:45

the hood of the windshield, and if he

15:48

were to take off his wide-brimmed steps, you can

15:50

probably see a couple of tufts of graying

15:53

ginger hair. And

15:56

you can see that his face is

15:58

very tanned and crammed. and deep and in

16:01

it there are these two twinkling eyes which

16:04

belie his age a little bit and even

16:07

through the gray stubble and very

16:09

thick mustache that hangs over his

16:11

mouth you'd probably see a fairly

16:14

permanent and kindly smile as

16:17

he's just driving

16:20

looking out and just keeping

16:24

an eye on anything that the thinker would

16:26

probably want to be able to. Hmm

16:30

interesting. As you're

16:32

sitting there in in this sort of cockpit

16:36

area a sort

16:39

of sliding panel in the wall pushes

16:42

out lifts up any tray extends

16:46

with a cup of some kind

16:48

of hot beverage. Are you coffee

16:50

drinker? Oh absolutely

16:54

and reaching just thank

16:56

you very much Pearl. Of

16:59

course can I interest you in

17:01

something to eat this time or are you going

17:04

to refuse again? I'm gonna refuse

17:06

again but I may be a half

17:09

a check on our passengers up back.

17:14

As you wish. And the

17:16

panel slides back in and

17:18

closes up again. Speaking of

17:21

our other passengers, blank

17:23

where would you be spending your time

17:25

on this ship? I'll

17:28

be spending my time in bed

17:32

quarters or wherever we've refurbished to

17:34

become our bed

17:36

quarters. Sure. Just

17:38

laid in a cart

17:42

and you see blank.

17:45

There about six foot one a black

17:48

and fem body and a very

17:50

lean you can tell. They wear

17:52

a sleeveless probably

17:55

torn off the sleeves shirt. A

17:58

red scarf is like by their side but

18:00

usually they always had it around their neck. Very

18:03

Mad Max looking they have

18:06

almost like baggy pants with

18:09

still toed boots even in bed, knee

18:13

pads and a strange

18:16

thing about them is a blank white featureless

18:18

mask over their face. They don't seem to

18:20

have any problem or issues seeing but

18:23

you cannot see their expression of their

18:25

face. And I

18:27

think they just laid in bed with

18:30

a baseball bat in hand just bored

18:32

out of their mind. Just basically

18:35

knocking against the wall of the baseball

18:37

bat over and over and over. Just

18:39

trying to make some

18:41

kind of noise

18:44

or sound. Kind

18:47

of right where you're hitting the baseball

18:49

bat against the wall. Similarly

18:53

a panel will struggle to

18:55

open up and retract a

18:58

few times. What would

19:02

you mind allowing me to open? Blankly

19:06

pulls it, it's kind of holding that bat against

19:08

the panel for a bit and

19:10

then pulls away. The panel opens up and a tray of plain ration like

19:12

food is extended to you. No

19:25

one on

19:28

this ship eats well. I'm

19:30

going to lose it respectfully.

19:33

You hear a sigh from behind a

19:35

mask as they sit up and as

19:37

they do, the viewers

19:40

or I guess listeners would notice that

19:42

across their neck is a jagged scar

19:45

and with I think

19:48

sign language. I think there are at least

19:50

cameras around that the AI

19:52

of the ship can see. So they

19:56

will sign. What time is

19:58

it? Is it Dinner? Lunch.

20:02

Break. For a cocktail here. Well.

20:05

We're. Not even at the scene at

20:07

the moment, so that's tricky. For.

20:11

You to be Definitely a.

20:14

Seder. Refine.

20:18

Okay, thank. You you

20:20

I'll grab the Russians and

20:22

wait for it to penalty

20:24

close. And

20:26

hope that. Then. Another watching and to

20:29

set the free the side and get back

20:31

to this of pegging against a wall with

20:33

a baseball bat, not eating or drinking. Not

20:36

gonna in that I can give it to someone else. Besides.

20:41

I thought you were gone are the always

20:43

22:54

blank what

22:56

the fuck all right can you stop for one fucking

22:58

second blank

23:02

pauses and looks at you for

23:05

good like 10 seconds and

23:07

then gets back to banging all right well

23:13

can I have your rations they

23:16

slide across to you all

23:19

right that's

23:21

right keep

23:23

banging and

23:27

and Brian

23:30

where would PJ be spending time

23:32

on this on this ship PJ

23:35

is where PJ is a

23:37

surprising amount of the time which is in the laundry

23:39

room it's

23:43

particularly surprising because at

23:46

this point he only has one change of

23:48

clothes so most of

23:50

you see PJ most of the time walking

23:52

around in boxers and

23:55

like an a-frame like tank top

23:59

carrying on a hanger

24:01

like very fine as possible an

24:04

incredibly nice three-piece suit

24:07

and a like a

24:10

mason jar full of water with like

24:12

a single flower in it that you

24:14

would immediately recognize is some kind of

24:16

boutonniere and he is perpetually in the

24:19

laundry room like making like cleaning up

24:21

any stains that have gotten on this

24:23

suit is like ironing it making it

24:26

nice and nice and

24:28

fresh and good and it's

24:31

very clear that PJ is there's a

24:33

reason that the past that the vicar

24:35

isn't staying in PJ's room PJ you

24:37

can tell from like 10 miles away

24:39

is kind of a drip kind

24:42

of a dull

24:44

guy and

24:46

you can see that like this

24:49

three-piece suit is like this very kind

24:51

of vibrant blue it's got like a

24:53

nice fancy floral tie this does not

24:55

fit the vibe at all this guy

24:57

is a black pinstripe men's

24:59

warehouse you know discount rack

25:02

suit guy this is

25:04

something much nicer and he's treating it with an

25:07

undue amount of care I

25:10

think then that Pearl

25:14

does open up a new

25:17

panel in this room as

25:19

well to try to coax

25:21

you into having a snack

25:24

something sensible to eat because I think

25:26

Pearl has gotten to know you well

25:28

enough to get you a tall glass

25:32

of OJ and

25:34

maybe some mixed vegetables it

25:37

feels about right yeah just raw

25:41

steamed honestly

25:43

OJ a

25:47

little exotic for his taste but you know

25:49

what why not I

25:53

think especially often he

25:55

brushes teeth like it's

25:57

way too P.J.

26:00

being too spicy is the

26:02

biggest and half-oilsome of whiteness. That

26:06

is P.J. O.J.'s a little too

26:09

spicy. And

26:12

I think even in this

26:14

moment, and I'm so sorry for doing this to

26:16

you, but I do think that the tray

26:19

sort of comes out and

26:21

the mechanism is just a little unoiled

26:28

and struggles a little bit and like jerks out

26:30

and I think the juice spills

26:33

and gets a little bit. No! No! Pearl!

26:37

No! Pearl!

26:40

Pearl, what gets O.J. out of a suit? Um,

26:43

club soda. Pearl, come on! Club soda? We're

26:46

in the operating room! Okay, club soda. What is

26:49

that? Hot water? Cold water? Club soda.

26:51

Do you have seltzer? Soda? Give it to me. Give it

26:54

to me. We are out of

26:56

club soda. No! Put bubbles into a

26:58

thing. You have carbon dioxide on this ship. I know you do.

27:00

Bubble it into some water. We're gonna make this happen. Who

27:03

told you about my carbon dioxide design? Don't

27:06

ask how I know. I just know. Give it to me. I did. I

27:09

need the things. I know how supply chains work. Okay, if

27:11

I know anything, I know exactly what's on this ship. The

27:18

slab retracts for a moment, a

27:20

long moment. And then after

27:22

a few long

27:25

pauses, it opens back up

27:27

and a glass of club

27:29

soda and a napkin are

27:32

extended back out to you. Quickly dabbing.

27:38

I was hoping to convince you to leave

27:40

the laundry room today. I've

27:42

got to keep it pressed. Okay, the

27:44

wedding is in just a couple days.

27:46

And so far, I've gotten two cigarette

27:48

burns and three bloodstains on this.

27:51

And I've been able to get them out.

27:53

I've been able to hide the cigarette burns a little bit.

27:55

I've been able to patch them up. But

27:58

this suit needs to be cleaned. perfect.

28:02

How many days did you say? I

28:05

mean it's last time I checked Star Trek I think

28:07

like three or four days. We

28:10

still have about that much time before you

28:12

could get home do you

28:14

still think you'll make it?

28:17

I have

28:22

to make it is the thing

28:24

it's it's is

28:26

it possible? I don't know.

28:29

Will it happen? It has to

28:31

happen so it's it's gonna it's gonna happen

28:33

it's gotta it's gonna happen it's

28:36

gotta happen it's gonna it will happen it'll happen

28:38

everything's fine. Pearl

28:41

everything's fine. Alright.

28:45

Pearl tell me everything's fine. I

28:50

think there's like a second and like even

28:52

a whirring sound when you ask that question

28:54

and then Pearl comes back

28:56

with everything will be fine. I'm

29:00

just can I roll an observation

29:03

check to try to figure out if the whirring

29:05

is deception motors? Yes

29:08

you can. Would this just be a perception

29:11

or would this be a savvy

29:13

check? I want it to be savvy.

29:18

Okay cool I get plus two for that. Good.

29:22

It's eight plus two is ten. Yeah

29:25

it's not so much deception. Pearl

29:27

is trying to comfort

29:30

you and in how

29:32

humans sometimes do they comfort each

29:34

other by lying. So Pearl

29:37

is trying to do what what

29:40

people would do in

29:42

this scenario. That's kind of you.

29:44

Thank you and I'm like reaching out to

29:46

like put my hand on a shoulder of something that doesn't exist

29:49

so I'm just kind of like and

29:51

I just tapped the wall. There's

29:54

a sort of like a knock behind

29:56

the wall back. You're

30:01

welcome. Please eat something.

30:05

Yeah. Do you have a... I'm

30:08

kind of out of all... I've had to sell all my

30:10

other clothes to get this far. And

30:13

my luggage, and my toiletry

30:16

kits, and my

30:18

briefcase, and I had to barter my papers

30:20

away. And the

30:23

ceremonial pan I got for my 10-year

30:26

stuff. Do you have a

30:29

fair napkin that I could use? Really

30:33

just kind of anything with which to eat this

30:36

food. I want to make sure nothing gets

30:38

on the food. Yeah.

30:42

I was thinking you were asking

30:44

for something way bigger than just a

30:46

napkin. I actually...

30:48

Rust, what are your plates look like?

30:50

What kind of plates do we have

30:52

on board the ship? Oh, tin. All

30:55

of them are tin. All of them are very,

30:57

very dirty. Often just left in the sink to

31:00

rust for around a week to an end. It's

31:03

not very well kept. He has an oil rag

31:05

though. Yeah. A

31:07

dirty tin plate and an oiled

31:10

rag are extended

31:12

to you from

31:14

the hull of the ship. I'm

31:17

not a picky guy.

31:21

I'm just... I know. I know

31:23

that there's a clean plate on this

31:25

ship. See,

31:28

I have many jobs on this ship. Cleaning

31:31

dishes is not one of those jobs. You

31:34

should speak to your crewmates. I

31:36

do. This is the only boat that

31:38

would take me anywhere, so I

31:41

can't. But you could

31:44

get me a clean plate without

31:46

rust that will fall onto the suit.

31:48

It's very difficult to... Never

31:50

mind. I'll just pick around it. The

31:54

sound system comes across the entire

31:57

ship, broadcasting Pearl's voice to all

31:59

of you. And bring

32:01

it to the laundry room so that

32:03

you can't leave. To

32:10

the vegetables. No, stop, stop,

32:12

careful, cancel order. Execute. No

32:14

bad. Over the speakers and return. You

32:17

just say, yeah, sure, I'm on it. No,

32:20

no, no, no, that's not what I

32:22

wanted. You're being sassy and

32:24

you know it. I

32:27

have no idea what you mean. And

32:30

the tray retracts back into the building.

32:34

You presumably get your clean dish

32:36

and are able to eat your meat. Beep

32:46

boop, it's a mid-roll, cowboys. I hope you're

32:48

all enjoying this little romper space where no

32:50

one is sad and nothing bad has happened

32:52

to anyone. Later this week,

32:54

I've got something really hope you check out, which

32:56

is on May 2nd, around 730

32:59

Eastern on my home channel SuperDylan. I will

33:01

be playing in a game of power outage

33:03

to support the people of Palestine. Bebars

33:06

El-Tayib, who wrote and designed power outage,

33:08

will be GMing this session for us

33:10

and it is going to be wacky

33:12

and delightful and probably full of puns

33:15

about breakfast foods. I

33:17

really hope to see you there. Alright, it's time for

33:20

a word from our sponsors and then it's back to

33:22

our show. It

33:32

is probably a

33:34

very average evening, if

33:37

you could call it an evening, but for

33:40

the last week that

33:42

you've been in this area of

33:44

space, it has been pretty uneventful

33:46

for the most part, besides

33:49

moments of

33:51

action when something

33:54

interferes with the lights and

33:57

gives everybody a chance to...

34:00

do what they came here to do, which

34:02

is scavenge this place for riches. It's

34:05

been a couple of days since any

34:07

excitement and so this

34:10

evening seems to be like

34:12

any other till about

34:15

an hour or so from now there

34:18

is a light in the cockpit that

34:20

comes on. It is a radio. It

34:22

is a private radio

34:24

on a private line only

34:27

ever broadcast to

34:29

those in the know and

34:32

Russ do you have the option to turn

34:34

this radio

34:37

on for just you or to

34:39

have it broadcasted to the rest

34:41

of the ship? What would Russ

34:43

do? I

34:46

think seeing the notification

34:49

and having

34:51

been keeping it on blank for

34:53

the duration and knowing that she

34:56

probably just wants to be kept alone for

34:59

now and seeing how highly strong our groom

35:01

to be is I think it's

35:03

just going to walk down

35:06

gantry to common doors until

35:08

just knocking on the vicar's

35:10

door and you might want

35:12

to come listen. Yeah all

35:14

right give me give me a second blank

35:18

be be good be good pal

35:21

all right look turn to you

35:23

and cocks their head to the

35:25

side no special

35:27

expression needed you know that looks like

35:29

you very confused I'll

35:32

just put a thumbs up to

35:35

vicar bows and then walk out. Yeah

35:38

what's what's going on Russ? It

35:40

looks like we have a notification over the

35:43

radio. Oh yeah let's check it

35:45

out. I have a question does

35:49

Pearl feed everyone on this ship because they have

35:51

yet to give me any food or drink. I've

35:54

been just eating blank scraps. Every

35:57

time I'm like hey Pearl you know no

35:59

response. at all like look

36:01

hey Pearl you there no

36:05

you say it uh

36:07

Pearl you know yeah what

36:11

can I do what the fuck no

36:13

just testing something you can go back in

36:16

the wall now I don't know she doesn't

36:18

really understand religion all that much all

36:21

right whatever let's go check out

36:23

the radio it

36:25

can off what what exactly

36:27

is it that you preach oh

36:31

yeah you want it you want a pamphlet he pulls out a pamphlet

36:33

that has it says join

36:35

the vibe and it's like

36:38

kind of like tie-dye the like

36:42

the papers like tie-dye but like follow

36:44

the vibe isn't like you look in just

36:49

a bunch of like drawings clearly

36:52

the bigger did himself and

36:54

it's like stick figures happy and

36:56

like there's money and there's guns

36:58

pew like do whatever you want

37:01

when you follow the vibe you're

37:04

37:12

37:31

your half into the vibe let's do it I

37:35

37:42

a blues for that big

37:44

time I

37:47

have we start out with four blues

37:49

correct yes hmm

37:55

I'm wondering if anything I did constituted

37:57

doing something unremarkable Um,

38:01

I think that you know what I

38:04

think eating unseasoned vegetables is

38:06

very unremarkable Would you

38:08

would you like to take a move for that? Yeah

38:11

Unremarkable, son of a bitch. I love it And

38:16

then yeah, can we go can we go to the radio

38:18

and listen in on that that's super super

38:20

duper message Absolutely when

38:22

you ticket on There

38:25

is still a moment of

38:27

static the sound of like

38:29

a radio finding a frequency and

38:33

Then a voice like kind of

38:35

muddled at first, but then

38:37

coming clear into focus. What's up, you

forth um your

41:49

phone is is routinely on like just

41:51

one screen a kind of like a

41:54

just a blank typing screen where you

41:57

send and receive your messages and

41:59

there's not much else on the

42:01

screen, except for a little

42:03

symbol, an ever-present

42:05

notification in the corner, those

42:08

two voicemails that

42:12

are left behind. You, as

42:14

you are putting your phone back down

42:17

after typing these messages, can

42:19

you tell us what

42:22

Blank thinks about when Blank

42:24

thinks about the last time

42:26

she saw Wyla? Dylan,

42:31

you monster. Okay. Why

42:34

we're here? I

42:37

think those,

42:43

that notification icon

42:46

is only there because every

42:49

time she listens

42:51

to the voicemail, she,

42:56

if he marks it as

42:58

unlistened to, unread, again, it's

43:00

a constant reminder. And

43:04

it's from the,

43:11

it feels small to say

43:13

Crush, it was definitely more than that,

43:15

at least for her, on

43:18

Wyla. The

43:24

mechanic, and at

43:27

least for Blank, the joy

43:31

he had when

43:33

it came to racing, when it came to orbital

43:35

racing, and

43:38

every time she sees

43:40

those icons that unread,

43:43

unlistened to voice messages,

43:48

she just remembers looking down

43:50

at Wyla's unseen

43:53

eyes looking up at her. G

43:59

Lock, in her

44:01

arms and crying

44:03

and trying to ask her to come back

44:05

but nothing coming out. Woof,

44:12

please take a blues for me.

44:16

Thank you so much. Ross,

44:23

where do you head next? Immediately,

44:26

albeit somewhat tentatively to the

44:28

laundry room, I

44:32

imagine Ross

44:34

has probably observed PJ's

44:39

specificities from afar and

44:41

is very aware that

44:45

as a cantankerous and by his

44:47

own admission not particularly tight man,

44:49

a presence might not necessarily be

44:51

welcome as he just comes round

44:54

the side of the door and just knocks on the frame.

44:57

Knock, knock. Come

45:01

in, it's your ship, come in, come in please. I

45:04

didn't tell Pearl to have you watch

45:06

it, Pearl, we were doing a bit

45:08

and that wasn't I'm not

45:11

being difficult, is all I'm saying. Oh

45:14

no, no, it's fine. She's

45:16

frequently telling me I need to watch.

45:18

Watch about myself having guests isn't an

45:21

excuse to do just that. I

45:25

just want to say thank you for giving

45:28

me a passage. I

45:31

just, I haven't,

45:34

I know I said I'd help and

45:36

I will, I mean I obviously will. I

45:38

know supply chain, I know shipping, I know

45:40

how things are laid out and stored and

45:42

where we can find stuff but I've never

45:46

done crime. This

45:51

would be crime, right? This feels like crime. Oh

45:54

yeah, yeah, no this would be crime. It's

45:59

just, I'm not. I haven't participated

46:01

and I'm not saying anything, you know, there's

46:03

nothing bad about crime. I'm just saying I

46:05

haven't I'm new to it Oh,

46:07

well, it's against the law by definition Yes,

46:10

and I I've done mostly I've lived my whole

46:12

life on one side of the law and I

46:14

see that I see the fence that you're not

46:17

supposed to go over all like okay, and I

46:19

don't go over it But yeah because you know

46:21

times being what they are You

46:24

being so nice to help me out

46:26

and get me back home I'm

46:28

just I'm just a little nervous. So I'm just curious

46:32

Do you have any crime advice? And

46:38

he just sort of pulls up scraping

46:40

across the floor a metal stone would just

46:42

sit down and There's

46:47

a wedding that

46:49

you're gone Yeah, I

46:54

Everyone about

46:56

that pretty pretty

46:58

nervous No,

47:04

no, it's I I mean,

47:06

yes I mean it's you know It's the biggest danger life

47:08

and you're I'm married the look of my life and and

47:10

she's beautiful and white on my leg And there's no way

47:12

I should be and then she I don't deserve her obviously,

47:14

but um, no, I'm not why would I be nervous? I'm

47:17

just spending all the money that I have plus more money that I

47:19

don't have and then money on the ring and then Make

47:22

sure that I keep the suit good because don't be well I

47:24

can afford him, but I'm mad Right

47:31

Also, I guess the point I was

47:33

gonna make is that's kind of how

47:35

it feels before crying you

47:38

would still on into it and you Know

47:41

if it's gonna work out everything made very

47:43

wrong Um What

47:46

sorry, sorry people might get hurt and hmm

47:49

I don't think anything can go wrong that nothing could

47:52

go I've prepared all the things I've made you know

47:54

in the job No, we could get shot. That's a

47:56

very real Oh

48:01

Or do you want to do that part? Can I not do

48:03

that part? Oh for sure. Yeah, no,

48:05

absolutely. You're a freak off. I thought,

48:07

I thought, I didn't realize I could

48:09

just opt out of the possibility of getting shot. I'd like

48:11

to opt out of the possibility of getting shot. Well,

48:17

I can promise you this. My job

48:19

is to keep all of you as safe as

48:22

possible. And if

48:24

I can help you in opting

48:27

out of taking a bullet to the brain, I

48:30

will. Oh, brain.

48:32

I it's that specific. It can

48:34

get that specific. Depends

48:37

on how good the opposition take this. Okay.

48:42

Okay. In

48:45

your experience as a ship's captain, and you've

48:47

been doing this for a long time, obviously,

48:49

this fine

48:53

hunk of ship has

48:56

been flying for some time. And

48:59

what would you say hypothetically? No reason

49:01

just because is

49:03

the safest part of the ship to

49:05

be on at all times? No

49:07

reason just because just just curious. Probably

49:12

inside the dryer over there. Great.

49:15

Excuse me. I wouldn't put yourself down like that.

49:28

Yeah. As useless talk

49:30

saying you don't deserve the

49:32

person that you love. From

49:36

experience, that means nothing.

49:39

I mean, if listen, if

49:42

you you've met me, you

49:46

know, you know me. I'm I know

49:48

I know exactly who I am and what I

49:50

am and it's good. It's

49:52

all it's, you know, dependable.

49:54

It's gonna get the job done,

49:56

but it's not. galaxy

50:01

isn't supernovas and star systems and beauty

50:03

beyond comprehension it's not that and I'm

50:05

okay I've made my piece of that

50:08

I'm fully

50:11

just another brick in the wall but

50:13

she is oh

50:16

she is a waterfall

50:19

she is a supernova

50:22

nebula star system as

50:24

she is when

50:33

you find the luckiest thing in your life want

50:36

to make sure you don't I'm

50:41

just gonna take a blues

50:43

yeah as you do you've just

50:46

promised so much to this scared

50:58

wet cat of a man you

51:01

are that your job

51:03

here is to protect everyone

51:06

on the ship your job

51:08

is to keep these people

51:10

alive when was the last time you failed

51:17

it's around 15 years ago does

51:23

I look at this comparatively

51:25

young man before me speaking

51:30

about the love of his life there

51:35

was someone who's talked about me that way slightly

51:43

particular he

51:46

was very particular it was very he

51:51

was from a different world but

51:56

we needed work Until

52:01

we didn't. And

52:06

he shouldn't have been a part of... Rust's

52:09

life. My life.

52:15

We boarded the wrong ship. We

52:19

should have known what we said was one last job, well

52:21

that cliche that was, but... Yeah,

52:26

we got on the wrong ship. We

52:29

weren't prepared. I

52:32

wasn't. I

52:36

still remember. The

52:39

gunfire. The

52:42

men. All

52:44

in masks, these... glittery...

52:49

dog-shaped masks. I

52:55

remember coming face to face with the devil, the

52:57

gunshot, and the turn went

52:59

Robert from... Who's

53:04

my husband, the nurse? I

53:14

think PJ, as

53:16

he's saying, this sees the look on your face, of

53:21

seeing this memory, but is

53:24

too young and too naive to understand

53:27

anything about what it is. Mm-hmm, yeah.

53:31

Rust just looks up and gives you one of those

53:33

like, old man

53:35

half-links and just like lifts himself to his

53:38

feet and... Well, the

53:42

dryer is an option, but... I think

53:48

you're more capable than you think, like you said. Always

53:52

get a job done. He

53:56

just heads on out the room. She

53:59

knew that. back in

54:02

the cockpit as everybody's readying

54:05

and as you're sort of like making

54:07

your way to the spot you need

54:09

to be in for this ambush,

54:13

you could

54:15

just made

54:18

a pitch, got

54:20

rejected, and that happens a lot in

54:24

the religion of vibes. But

54:30

as you're kind of left alone in this

54:32

space in the quiet, has it

54:34

ever worked? Well,

54:41

no, no, no, it hasn't really

54:44

worked ever for Rick

54:46

or Yoko. No

54:49

one's ever really taken the bait. And

54:54

as you're kind of like recalling the

54:58

rejections, the pitches, does

55:06

it ever

55:09

occur to you why? Do you

55:12

feel like it's the pitch that needs

55:14

reworking? Do you feel like it's the

55:17

approach? Do you feel like

55:20

everybody just doesn't get it?

55:22

Like what is Yoko's take

55:25

on why people keep shooting

55:28

it down? I

55:30

think Yoko

55:33

is kind of like just

55:36

staring into space thinking about this. For

55:41

a long time it was like maybe it's just

55:43

people aren't as sad or don't understand how this

55:45

can help them. And I think then

55:48

it's like wait is it me?

55:50

Am I the problem? People just

55:52

not like me. Is

55:55

it my, like,

55:58

is the baseball hat not laid apart? That's

56:00

why I got it. I

56:12

think it could use one of those little propellers.

56:14

I think that'll fix it. That'll fix it. Yeah,

56:16

I think that'll fix it. I'll

56:19

fix the stuff. Thanks. But

56:21

I think overall Pico

56:24

Yucco is more like it's not my

56:26

job to like I

56:29

can try if people don't want it to save themselves. That's

56:31

not them. It

56:35

isn't too long those 20 minutes go by

56:37

pretty fast before you are

56:39

in the airspace of a kind

56:42

of small asteroid

56:48

Small in comparison to some of the others

56:50

around And even

56:52

from where you are When

56:54

you like open up the visor to

56:57

see out into space you can see

57:00

the the flex the shimmers

57:02

in it the treasure that

57:04

is embedded within is so

57:08

plentiful that you can see it from all the

57:10

way where you are and The

57:40

to the blackness The

57:43

void of space that

57:45

you've been used to anywhere else in

57:47

the galaxy that you've traveled returns

57:50

to that sense of normalcy,

57:52

but along with it like

57:54

you can see ships

57:57

58:00

58:05

1:00:51

courtesy of Infinity Cap Records. I

1:00:53

can't wait to have you back

1:00:55

for our next adventure, heroes! In

1:00:59

the universe of Starwall Odyssey, space

1:01:01

is made out of the collective

1:01:03

imaginations of all the thinking beings

1:01:06

who live on various planets. These

1:01:08

worlds are connected to each other

1:01:10

through imagination. Common themes and ideas

1:01:12

are strings between universes. And to

1:01:14

get between them, people fly wooden

1:01:16

ships that look like animals, which

1:01:19

are powered by emotions. Also,

1:01:21

people communicate with each other by contemplating orbs.

1:01:23

The only way you can take pictures is

1:01:25

getting stared at by a big psychic bug.

1:01:27

And people have already declared victory in a

1:01:30

war over the very concept of evil. But

1:01:32

I'm getting ahead of myself. Starwall

1:01:34

Odyssey follows the adventures of the

1:01:36

hapless inhabitants of the Lucky Finn

1:01:39

Tenement Building, who suddenly find that

1:01:41

their apartment is actually a spaceship,

1:01:43

and that they're lost in a

1:01:45

sea of boundless imagination. It's an

1:01:47

actual play starring me, James DeMato,

1:01:50

Mel DeMato, Allie Grauer, and Drew

1:01:52

Merzieski, as we playtest the No

1:01:54

King System, which will hopefully one

1:01:56

day be the Sky Jacks role-playing

1:01:58

systems. between weird

1:02:00

and wonderful slice of life and

1:02:02

high-flying space fantasy. You can sample
