ADR - Episode 539: The Way Through the Woods

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: The Way Through the Woods, Al Dente Rigamortis, Review Cultist, Mik.E and the Gamer in Yellow

[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, hello and welcome to the way through the woods, Al Dente Rigamortis. I'm Review Cultist.

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Hi, Mikey. These 10 trivial.

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm the Gamer in Yellow.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And we're here to discuss those internet stories, most creepy and most pasta,

[00:00:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and be critically silly doing it.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And tonight we have the way through the woods, a Curtisville story.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right, guys. We're back.

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We're back in Curtisville.

[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't forget the entire timeline.

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we didn't have like a secret meeting off recording where we had to run down like what's happened in all the other Curtisville stories we've covered so far.

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_03]: No, that's not like...

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_03]: No, we didn't start like the first one seven years ago.

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know, it's understandable we might forget.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, certainly not. And the first one you weren't even a part of?

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I really don't remember this one. I wonder why.

[00:01:13] Yeah.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But we are back with MMPrat99's creepy pasta stories of Curtisville.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And we are covering one that they gave us in a YouTube comment back in 2020 when we covered Summer Break back in 2019.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So, yeah, this one...

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, let me double check here.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I just want to make sure I have my information.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they sent us a comment on YouTube.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And they suggested this story the way through the woods, which is a prequel to the Summer Break story.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So that is why we are covering it now as we...

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And moving forward for the next few weeks, we're going to be covering a bunch of other Curtisville stories that are affiliated with the Summer Break 2017 and Summer Break story in general.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Order, right?

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_02]: As far as I know, again, off recording.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: We did some cataloging and making sure we were on the right track because these stories aren't in an order.

[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And you can just go to the bottom of the story on the Wiki and go to next or previous kind of thing like the Summer Break stories were.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, so if you haven't figured out by now for some reason, the way through the woods is by M.M. Pratt99 along with all their other stories...

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to interrupt you.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_03]: You said not like the Summer Break stories were.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I think you meant not like the WTS stories were.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, the Summer Break stories because actually the original Summer Break was actually part of a line of stories that actually,

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: when you went to the bottom of the page after you read the story, it had a next and before kind of thing for the previous story or the next story in line to read.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, we just got off the WTS stories.

[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Actually, did we get through all those?

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_02]: No, we're still going through them.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_02]: We're taking a break from the WTS stories to cover some more Curtisville stories because we did Summer Break 2017 a few weeks ago.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And now that's gotten me at least into the mood to go back to Curtisville because I actually do really enjoy the setting and such of Curtisville.

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Wolf Cop.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Wolf Cop? Wolf Cop hype?

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_02]: That in Elf Cop?

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That's from Curiosity Killed the Rat, I believe, which was another Curtisville story.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, to make this a little bit less confusing.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so the Way Through the Woods, it's by MMProt99 on Creeposte.wiki.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You can check it out there as well as all the other Curtisville stories.

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And before we get too far into the weeds or travel through the mists and fog, let's give our initial recommendations here.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to partially recommend it.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a full recommendation last night, teetering onto a partial recommendation.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I decided to just kind of like push it down to the partial recommendation the more I thought about it.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: You're valid. You're wrong, but you're valid.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Fair.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm not going to recommend this.

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm going to give it a partial.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_03]: What?

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_03]: You just said I was wrong.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_03]: You asshole.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'll recommend it honestly.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're actually recommended?

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'll see if you guys changed my mind, but I mean, it was a long read, but I didn't hate it.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, fair enough.

[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I enjoyed the read.

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I was also going into this, expecting you guys to both give it like a non recommendation.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Just for the like...

[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, of course, because we're horrible people, we hate everything, right?

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You're not supposed to agree with me.

[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. Well, maybe you should be a little nicer next time.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Mr. Partial Recommendation and I'm fully recommending.

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, well, maybe your comments could like push it back up that hill to the...

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they will or...

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I'll drag you down with me.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Or maybe Mikey will drag us both down even deeper into the abyss of hatred.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, either I will pull you away from the dark void door of non recommendations or one of you will be pulling me through the door with your hundreds of shadowy arms.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, exactly.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Nice connective tissue there from the story.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, let's dive into this with the rundown prehence to the rundown here or pretense to the rundown here.

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: This is about two pages long on Google Docs.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So I will...

[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_02]: My synopsis of the story is so I will try and get through it as quickly as I can.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's storming outside.

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So the Satoi kids, Olivia, Mizaki, Izumi and Kyoto upon exhausting every other indoor activity they can find are playing hide and seek with Olivia, the youngest as the seeker.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You may remember Olivia, Mizaki, Izumi and Kyoto from Summer Break.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_02]: However, as she sets out to seek her triplet siblings, the closet to her sister's room opens up to a beautiful forest space beyond.

[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So Olivia decides to investigate.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Meanwhile, a wind blows through the room scattering books and papers of Mizaki's including a scrapbook which has a clipping of a story about a scornful witch who created a sinister booby trapped spellbook.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And articles about a turn of the century schooner that was cursed slash plagued by a swarm of large venomous centipedes and scorpions while traveling across the Pacific.

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Moving on.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Cut to Mizaki tumbling out of her hiding place in a broom closet to get the ringing phone because there are all three sisters were in there, weren't they?

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I only so I only heard it only says Mizaki.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So I comedically saw all them fall out.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_02]: That's just I might be wrong.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: That's also pretty good.

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Mizaki runs to the phone that is ringing and she complains about like there because their babysitter hasn't arrived so they didn't pick up the phone.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And the call is from this brat named Ellie Lambert, who the girls don't really like telling her about this thing that she found in the shed in a shed in the woods.

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Mizaki tells her she is not interested in any of it and is told off by Ellie.

[00:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Back to Olivia in the strange woods beyond the closet door.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It leads to a dilapidated hut and the door to this hut is locked and it seems to be empty and dark inside based off through the window, the kind of dirty windows that she can see through.

[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_02]: But but as Olivia tries to leave, she starts hearing movement and seeing strange shadows in the window to the hut.

[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_02]: She also hears her sisters in the woods seemingly looking for her.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Then the door to the house opens and creepy shadow arms grab Olivia, but just as she's about to be a goner, her sister and the babysitter Kailin, who's an elf by the way arrives and stamps out the horrors that had been luring Olivia into the woods during the storm outside.

[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And as the rest of the sisters arrive to the scene, Kailin banishes the ghostly monster from the creepy shack.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Back in the Satoi apartment, Kailin has made them all hot chocolate and iced tea and explains that Ellie apparently locked her in her in the laundry shed when Kailin wasn't looking and she needed to she needed some help to get out.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's why she wasn't there sooner to babysit them.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It seems that Ellie Lambert is a snooty rich brat who wants to learn magic and has been asking the Satori siblings since she thinks that they have magic because they are chick charney half breeds.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's here too that Kailin tells the story of that of that horrific thing that was in the shack.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It was once a girl named Lucille.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Like Ellie, she bugged Kailin's older sister Judith back in the 70s or 80s and was a bossy brat.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Eventually as they got older and through high school, Judith managed to get away from Lucille's constant presence.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But Lucille then went down a darker path of witchcraft.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Starting to learn darker magics.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Strange things start happening to Kailin's family and they eventually move across town.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Judith and some friends went looking for Lucille to try and stop her madness, but it turned out that they were currently away from their house.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: The Lucille's family and such.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: As it had been, it was in the process of being fumigated for various dangerous insects and such.

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: The family eventually came back to the house though just to grab some things and move away.

[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Though it was reported that Lucille wasn't with her parents when they came to get the stuff.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Cut to some years later Judith Kailin and their younger brother Arlen decided to walk through an old subdivision that Judith had some friends at.

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Only to discover that the subdivision was empty and overgrown.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: The boarding house where Judith's friend lived was replaced with a strange white house and from the door a creepy demonic Lucille appeared and gave chase.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The trio made it to a friend's house outside of the subdivision.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_02]: This person then told them that the neighborhood was overrun by bugs and creepy crawlies and mold and everyone had to leave.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_02]: All of this was shortly after Lucille's family who were staying at the boarding house at the time were forced to leave.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So it seems Lucille who we find out around now is Lucille Lambert played with dark magic and became possessed by something horrible and demonic.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She dwells in a hut in the woods that moves its path around magically to lure people to it.

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Back to the present day, Masaki who has been jotting down notes in a notebook about what Kailin has been talking about comes to a realization that Ellie Lambert found a spell book similar to the one Lucille did and may follow a similar path of corruption.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And then a weird creepy centipede creature is caught spying on the kids from the window before falling into the garden disappearing.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not like it had a headset on.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like reporting back to command.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I mean it was spying like I spying isn't like keeping through the window.

[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah that was a rundown for The Way Through the Woods.

[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And I guess now we should move on to...

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone! Tolerance of Grand Man's Positions!

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: At this point.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah I've got a couple.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Got a couple here.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm going to start with this one here.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It was on gray wet days such as this one, such as this one when there was nothing but reruns on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And all the board games and videos had already been played.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Hide and Go Seek seemed like a worthwhile idea.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So I feel like this sentence could be improved mostly because it's all run on sentence.

[00:13:56] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is how I fixed it or how I would have gone about repairing it.

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: There was nothing but reruns on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network.

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It was on gray wet days like this, comma, when all the board games and videos had already been played.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_02]: That Hide and Go Seek seemed like a worthwhile idea.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Period.

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So I did not have a period today but I had a semicolon which does act as a break between two similar subjected scenes or sentences.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Thanks Jess!

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Also just a quick sad connective tissues time.

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Reading this particular sentence just reminded me that very recently, I think like a week or two from this episode being recorded, Cartoon Network no longer exists.

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_02]: They've shut down the channel.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_02]: We're from Canada so we didn't ever really get Cartoon Network but I understand that it was basically a huge...

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Even up here, it was a huge nostalgic thing for us growing up because we could get satellite and grab channels from the US.

[00:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Watch the shit out of that.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But sadly Cartoon Network has come to a close.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where kids are going to get their cartoons and fun like nostalgia but I guess that's what the internet is for now.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Plus there's Nickelodeon and other shit too, right?

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I guess.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: But Cartoon Network was such a staple.

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for sure.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Space Coast to Coast and...

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Toonami?

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, that's what the internet is.

[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_02]: The internet is kind of usurped as streaming networks and stuff like that.

[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Cartoon Network was just still such a big thing, nostalgically.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, it is no longer with us.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: RIP.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_01]: F's in the chat.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so moving on to my next thing here.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_03]: F's in the comments.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: F's in the comments.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_02]: If we get F's in the comments of this YouTube channel or on any of the podcasting platforms, I will be very happy and I will bring it up in a later...

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_01]: ...how's this episode?

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so moving on to the next thing I have.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, she called out more loudly this time.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Izanami!

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Mizaki!

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Kyoto!

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_02]: No response.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so one of Olivia's triplet sisters' names is established through the story and others as a zoomie.

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yet, Olivia is shouting out seemingly for an Izanami.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_02]: No wonder she isn't getting a response, at least from a zoomie.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: She's getting her name wrong.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Whoops.

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I read it as like...

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, I think it's so weird because you have to write that purposefully, right?

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's not like you're looking at an Izanami.

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Izanami, you have to add in extra Zeds and whatnot.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: A running name for the character before they decided on a zoomie and they forgot at that one moment, which one they actually went with.

[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_03]: People are human except when they're Chick Charney and stuff like that.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Or half Chick Charney and...

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_02]: For anybody who doesn't know and hasn't listened to our previous episodes where we actually figured out what Chick Charneys are, Chick Charneys are these mystical owl-like cryptids.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not sure where they're from exactly if it's in Asia or if it's in South America, like near one of the South American islands or something like that.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So would a half Chick Charney humanoid have big anime eyes?

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, actually big mouth or big eyes, small mouth like anime characters.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So they are literally like just live action anime characters like Madalina Alita live action.

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that makes sense.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so obviously I think it's supposed to be a zoomie in the sentence not an Izanami.

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And like you said, it could have just been like they had a name for them like another name for them originally before they settled on this one.

[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_02]: So we'll move on to the next thing I have here.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Second stretched into minutes with only the ever increasing rain and thunder to break the lonely silence.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Then an icy wind whipped through the room scattering papers and posters like startled birds.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, so I feel like there should be something added to this a little bit.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So I added in here's the sentence with the with my addition.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Second stretched into minutes as Olivia's passage through the as Olivia's passage further into the space beyond the closet continued and still she did not return.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Only the ever increasing sound of rain and thunder outside the apartment broke the lonely silence.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Suddenly and I see wind whipped through the room scattering papers and posters like startled birds just because like as I was reading I was like.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, like I had caught myself is like where's the rain and like what's this rain thunder or something like it felt like it should mention that like the seconds and minutes like stretched on and still like Olivia hadn't come back from like inside the closet area.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So I figured this might be like a good like good thing to add to like kind of clarify the scene a little bit.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I saw that was like she was literally standing there for several minutes inside the.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, yeah, because I saw it is more just like it's like if this was a movie or like like like establishing the shot or the scene for the story.

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like inside the room where she had left from and like she still hadn't come back from that space and beyond the closet.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's just like the sound of the rain and thunder from outside the apartment which was established earlier.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's all that was heard and like we never heard you didn't hear from Olivia again, but I guess it could also be like second stretch into into second stretch into minutes as she's like waiting there like waiting to go inside but then like wouldn't she have noticed the icy wind whipping around the room behind her.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And wouldn't that have been brought up.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so but that's just how I would have fixed the sentence.

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So or the the establishing shot.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'll move on to the next thing here.

[00:20:43] [SPEAKER_02]: The decks invaded by hundreds of eight inch long blue centipede whose bite is said to be as deadly as that of a pit viper.

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so firstly, I think decks needs to have a possessive there like a comma between deck and s or maybe it's supposed to be decks and then an apostrophe I'm never sure about that how to make that how to make a thing possessive because it's like I'm not sure.

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_02]: As far as I know it's the apostrophe s the only time it's as apostrophe is if the standard word non plural and so the next is yeah okay yeah yeah okay yeah in this case it should be like the deck apostrophe s the decks in or because it's also because it's actually not actually a possessive it's actually like the

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_02]: decks were

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Honestly, I should say the decks were invaded by hundreds of

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Eight inch long blue centipedes or it should read the decks were invaded by hundreds of the eight inch long blue centipede.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that might previously

[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It already brought up them previously

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_02]: No, but like just like it because you can use like the hundreds of the eight inch blue centipede and that way you don't have to change any of the the the verbiage into the next sentence which is whose bite is said to be as deadly as the as that of a pit viper because you're then having to go and do that sentence and make things plural like whose bite

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Sounds weird when you say like it was invaded by hundreds of the centipedes which sounds like you previously described the centipedes

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Fair yeah okay then yeah then go then just go the full nine yards and just have like hundreds of blue centipedes and then whose bite were said to be as deadly as pit viper like pluralizing all the stuff in the next sense

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And then my next one here

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Those that had had not been carried off by the sea soon succumbed to the cold so I think one of those had just needs to be removed so it's those that had been

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Those that had not been carried off by the sea blah blah blah

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_02]: And then my next one here

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: The centipedes and scorpions had quite possibly made their nest

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_02]: The clock in the laundry room now read 20 to 2 what?

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: so this is a spot where like the article clipping and

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And the story in Olivia's home continues like where the where the clipping ends and the and Olivia's and

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Misaki and Olivia's like home and so that like that story is continuing

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And so this is a spot in the story where I feel there should be a separating horizontal line to kind of help clarify that this is only a new seat

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_00]: You should also know that the previous section is italicized and the next section isn't this is true

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: But we all know what we think about italicization. Yes

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_00]: But that is you that is in this story

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_00]: And I do have a note about transitions and my actual thoughts and how there isn't many yes, you are correct

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I have a I have I think I have another example in my notes of another spot where there should be a separating horizontal line because of a sudden scene cut or

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Scene switch

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, there's a couple of scenes in the story where like the horde the transition is not very good

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It is italics

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because it's an article which yeah, but like yes, I know I know I know gamer. I know I know

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02]: We all know at this point

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Ah fuck man

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I wish they would just get with the more yeah, I know

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I wish my brain would be able to recognize them more maybe

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's probably all it is

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'll move on to the next thing I have

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: The broom closet suddenly burst open and Mizaki stumbled out in clatter of brooms and mobs

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it only seems to be Mizaki is mentioned so like unless it adds that like and Mizaki and her Mizaki

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Izumi and and Kyoto all came out tumbling

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_03]: But I just misread it or read what I wanted to read

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, so the actual issue I had with the sentences. I think there should be an a in there

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like and Mizaki tumbled out in a clatter of brooms and mobs

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_02]: And then my next one here

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Mizaki stiffened and glared at the phone. What did you just call me?

[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_02]: The house was a hovel not a home standing dark and deserted

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's decrepit tiled roof and wooden porch nearly swallowed up by the surrounding trees and brush

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is another instance where the story just suddenly transitions

[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, and I had a problem with that transition honestly

[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So I honestly think like this this would really help with like a separating horizontal line

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because when I first read that yeah, I thought like she was like yelling at her on the phone

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And then describing the house was basically the camera panning back showing the house that they all live in

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But that's not the case. Yeah, it's only transitioned to Olivia like walking to the hut

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's a number of spots in the story where like a horizontal line would help with the transition between scenes

[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a little confusing reading it on because I was reading believe it or not

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I like even though I had like this like saved onto a Google Doc for like simplicity of grabbing like quotes and stuff

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I actually wasn't reading the story through my Google Docs

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I was reading it through the the wiki page and the Creep pasta wiki format like formatting of the story sometimes confused things with that

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So like I feel like like we said earlier

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like some horizontal lines in the story even all like on the wiki might help for like those transitionary phases

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_02]: between scenes so

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the the length of this and the amount of different

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Stories being told from different perspectives and different like times yeah, like there really needs to be separation

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly because there's like at least three or four this story like I think I'll bring this up later in the store

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: In my notes and stuff that there's like two or three stories being like slammed together in this story and like it's interesting and good

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's cool for that but like there needs to be some more like proper like organization of those and like otherwise it gets really confusing

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But I digress I'll move on to the next thing I have

[00:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: They might have even felt a felt an intense wave of sheer panic and fear at the plane pointed features of the girl quietly

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Regarding her partially emerged reflection in the murky glass so

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_02]: At the beginning of that sentence it has two felts and I just feel like they just needed one of those instances of felt

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's like they might have even felt a

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Or felt an intense wave of sheer panic

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And then this one this example that I have next

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_03]: A lot of buildup weird it's just a big thing

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: On top of that she was really really bossy everything had to be her way like she

[00:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Wanted to join a ballerina dance class Judith had to join even though she had two left feet and ended up being

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Religated to set direct to set decorating and pulling the curtain to an open the show or when Lucille attended a birthday party

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Featuring a lot of cheesy carnival games and people in clown costumes Judith had to be there too even though my sister found such games and clowns lame and annoying

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I know this is dialogue this entire like story that's being told to us like from about Lucille is in dialogue

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Technically because it's like quote at the beginning of this paragraph and then no no quote to be end until like the next one until the next paragraph

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But goddamn that is a run-on sentence

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_02]: There's not a single period in that there's like there's an ellipses at the very start of it

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_02]: But even that ellipses like doesn't negate the the long-winded like common sentences after

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe if it said basically like at the start of it like she started a tirade and then like that's her like aggressively saying this story

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_03]: You know like really quickly. Yeah

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because yeah because that then we're getting like some more like we're getting the vibe of like how she's like telling the story

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_03]: She did this and this and this and this like yeah, it makes more sense doing it that way

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and you can kind of get that in the actual writing like of the dialogue

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, just extra clarification because like otherwise like you got a couple of chuckle fucks online that are

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Complaining about how run-on these these sentences are even though it's dialogue. Yeah

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Realistically like yeah, you were running out of gas

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I see like maybe this quote is like oh this is gonna suck

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, there's and there's a few other instances in the story like this. This is just the example

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I gave I don't really have a fix for it. Just like yeah, you need to cut these like sentences up a little bit with periods

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm. And then my next one here

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Ellie kelp calling me stinky McDoodoo head and

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Kept telling me to stand downwind so I know it's dialogue again

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: But

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Honestly that first that kelp at the beginning should be kept

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Like yeah, we kept calling me. Yeah

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the next thing I have

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Judith just caught a glimpse of the place before she took off

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But she told me later it reminded her of the Scottish capital of Edinburgh

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_02]: With its steepled cobbled streets and tall gloomy buildings with its steep cobbled streets and tall gloomy

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_02]: buildings, I think the story has repeated itself by accident

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm that happened. Yeah. Yeah, the legit like I have like it like in the writing

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like yeah Scottish capital of Edinburgh with its steep cobbled and tall gloomy buildings with its steep

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_02]: steep cobbled streets and tall gloomy buildings

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I thought it was a bit like I legit like

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Before I kept reading I thought it was like is this is she like is she okay like what's going on?

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_03]: How the hell did I just read over that?

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, all right, so move on to the next thing I have here

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So did they come armed with Holly water and crosses and a vampire hunting kit?

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I'd say it should be holy water not Holly water, but this is Curtisville there could be like

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Any number of other like of like weird like magical like

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_02]: accoutrements that they reference

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's true, but I think it's supposed to be holy water

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_02]: well

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_00]: But that one since this dialogue could be how the character speaks that's true

[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they have like a Avermane. He's kind of accent to them because of their upbringing

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't mention it, but I know you're really just gonna like see that to me like

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You know it next time I see you better watch out. I'm gonna toss you up behind in front of a bus

[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_03]: You do that. That's fine. I'm a ninja

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's go for one just go right over me, and then I'll look all awesome on the other side quick connect your teacher's time

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I was watching tic-tac today, and I saw a

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Some guys French bulldog like run off of his run out of his house when he wasn't looking go onto the road

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Get hit by a car

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Roll and keep but like was completely fine, and then I started running back home

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Know because I was like I saw it was like shit

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I just like is like oh god like I just saw a poor dog get hit by a car

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But then the dog got the sprung right back up and started running back home

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like boss

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Price that is the luckiest dog. That dog is part cat

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It just used up one of its lives. There's part rubber. Yep

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_02]: but uh, yeah

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll move on to the next thing I have here

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But they didn't find Lucille that day or the next and when one kid checked by her house

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_02]: It was entirely covered with this large

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_02]: funigating tent

[00:33:35] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's supposed to say fumigating tent like the it's just like they're missing they've accidentally put the put in an

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: N when it should be an M

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: And then my last grammar acquisition is this one I

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I also was worried that I wasn't going to believed so I think this in this case it should be again. I know it's dialogue

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But I think it should be I wasn't going I was I

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Also was worried that I wasn't going to be going to be believed

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_02]: but

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That is the end of my grammar

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Mikey these dance for evil

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_00]: To do the one I have here

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_00]: The first one I have here is a missing quotation mark. So I have

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_00]: The quotes I'm gonna start ascendance early for the quote

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Until what Olivia finally asked that she sat nestled between

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Mizaki and Izumi

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Until this neo hippie girl brought forth something that should have been left dormant and well-buried

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_00]: So the second until sentence there should have a quotation mark at the start because it's someone else talking and yeah

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Because they're questioning this yeah, yeah

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_00]: And the

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Next one I have here

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_00]: I was seven at the time and even I thought she was a whiny bumbling of

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Sad and pathetic even but after Judith and then I saw some really weird stuff. I

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_00]: actually became

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Really afraid of that kid

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_00]: So I think there's a then that it doesn't need to be there

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_00]: As it reads for with but after Judith and I

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_00]: saw some really weird stuff and

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_00]: Also if you're using a but it just can get rid of the period don't have this turn the sentence

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Of course. Yes

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And then there's a

[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: I

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Missing s when he asked one of the exterminator. Oh

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It should be exterminators

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Just the exterminator yeah, but it's

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_00]: One of the exterminator

[00:36:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so when it just be the exterminator you wouldn't have to be one of

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yes

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm saying

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, if it's only meant to be one person make it one person if it's if there it was meant that there was multiple exterminators

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And you're asking one then do the first one. That's true

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, I don't think fumigating an entire house is a one-man job

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's probably a team of invest of investigators

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Terminators yeah

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, yeah

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: All right

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_00]: So the next one I have is some caveman speak

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I love to see it Judith and some of friends

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Scavenged through the stuff looking for evidence Judith and some friends

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, so some of her friends

[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Fixes that

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_00]: And then my last one here

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_00]: it is a

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_00]: a

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Missing an L why oh

[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Although we moved into a new house. We were now convenient close to our schools

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So we were happy I thought I had that oh, I must have like left that out of my at my my inquisition

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I remember that we do yeah

[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Apparently I was subconsciously like save some for you guys

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you're like I need to make it over this and then continue to drink

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_02]: That might have been the case because like I wasn't reading it like through a Google Doc where I could just easily like

[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Highlight and like make a comment. I had to go I had to switch between tabs so yeah

[00:38:17] [SPEAKER_00]: All right

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Let me make sure about water here

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_00]: As I have a conjunction junction oh

[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Boy and next stop conjunction junction

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It was yet another house bound Humboldt County Day

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_00]: With the rain drumming hard on the apartment roof the gushing

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and gushing down the street in heavy ankle freezing torrents

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_00]: It was on gray wet days such as this

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: one when there was nothing but reruns on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network and

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_00]: All the board games and videos had already been played

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't go seek seemed like a worthwhile idea

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_00]: It was seven year old

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Olivia Satoy's

[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: turn to be seeker and

[00:39:18] [SPEAKER_00]: She already had a good idea where her older sisters were

[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_00]: It brushed over her face and fluttered

[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Her short bobbed hair

[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: It was now a hollow opening facing a lawn

[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_00]: surrounded by dry fields and woods

[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It hurt and the summer landscape was still there

[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_00]: so she knew she wasn't dreaming and

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_00]: No, Adam Sandler or Jim Carrey or the three Stooges

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_00]: It

[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_00]: Rifled through the pages of a souvenir scrapbook

[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Resting on Mizaki's writing desk

[00:40:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Coming to rest on a particular page with a taped yellow fragment labeled

[00:40:18] [SPEAKER_00]: story bit found by

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_00]: Mizaki Satoy

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Seven in squirrel's nest behind holiday garden's apartments in

[00:40:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Merlett C.A.

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_00]: March 13th

[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_00]: 1996

[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_00]: writer no name

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't until the sorceress left for a hunting expedition that he acted

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_00]: It soon earned the reputation of the third most dangerous magic book in the world

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_00]: after the grizzly grimoire by

[00:40:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Agolath as

[00:40:58] [SPEAKER_00]: groth of

[00:41:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Zilth and

[00:41:02] [SPEAKER_00]: The most dangerous book of all the spontaneous

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_00]: combustible best

[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_00]: Valemingna

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Which even a mere mention of its name caused one shoes to burst into flames

[00:41:20] [SPEAKER_00]: out

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It opened an eye

[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_00]: When the phone on the shelf began to ring once twice three times

[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_00]: It's probably something really gross and disgusting

[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_00]: it just makes you look like a goddamn freaking retard and

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_00]: Then turning back

[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_00]: She swallowed the lump in her throat and slowly climbed the creaky lichen infested porch

[00:41:58] [SPEAKER_00]: It was like someone was slowly twisting a dimmer all the way off

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And when the porch creaked and moaned she gasped and whirled around

[00:42:11] [SPEAKER_00]: and

[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_00]: Speaking of her sisters she could almost hear them coming

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It's all just your wild imagination playing tricks on you

[00:42:22] [SPEAKER_00]: It's time for lunch

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like her to be an hour late

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But I didn't go into the woods out back she mumbled

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Because I was in a hurry to look for Olivia. That's why and

[00:42:44] [SPEAKER_00]: I still don't know why she decided to go hide in the middle of freaking

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_00]: possibly weirdo infested woods and

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_00]: No way in hell are you coming back again in the stolen body of an innocent yokai kid

[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Forcing demons and lost souls to do your filthy trickster bidding

[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_00]: It's so dark out there. It's like the Blair witch woods out here

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_00]: or

[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe she was pushed by a ghost of one of her victims

[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_00]: But there wasn't any hauntings afterwards even though people called it the haunted house

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't get its dark terrible curse until

[00:43:43] [SPEAKER_00]: or

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_00]: She had to go to one of Lucille's

[00:43:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Princess tea parties where she had to listen to Lucille go on about various conspiracy theories

[00:43:56] [SPEAKER_00]: Ranging from reptilian aliens taking over the government

[00:43:59] [SPEAKER_00]: To how colds and flu were actually the result of negative thoughts rather than germs

[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_00]: and Judas would be like

[00:44:14] [SPEAKER_00]: But the brat wasn't going to be satisfied with a vague promise

[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_00]: and

[00:44:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Her dad wasn't much better a college deadbeat and dropout turned aspiring attorney who was too preoccupied

[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_00]: preoccupied with winning cases rather than instilling discipline in his daughter

[00:44:40] [SPEAKER_00]: and if the front door was locked she'd go around and check the back door and

[00:44:46] [SPEAKER_00]: every frickin window

[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_00]: But we didn't believe them because we thought they were just being prejudiced

[00:44:56] [SPEAKER_00]: It means rogue alien human Olivia murmured because that's what Ellie Lambert is a rogue alien human

[00:45:06] [SPEAKER_00]: It was at Redwood Park

[00:45:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Just my family and my friends and their parents the ones who were able to come

[00:45:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a mess

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_00]: Half the kids were screaming and crying and the parents were all shocked and disgusted

[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_00]: And the dog was romping around licking people and tossing around presents

[00:45:34] [SPEAKER_00]: and

[00:45:35] [SPEAKER_00]: that's how your party got ruined and

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It was down this dark lonesome road that she found a shadowy community

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_00]: that she thought understood her and

[00:45:52] [SPEAKER_00]: Who even pushed her interest further?

[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_00]: and

[00:45:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Where were Lucille's parents during all this?

[00:46:03] [SPEAKER_00]: But after Judith and then I saw

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_00]: some really weird stuff. I actually became really afraid of that kid and

[00:46:16] [SPEAKER_00]: For several blocks they did

[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_00]: Into the shabbier part of downtown across from the college

[00:46:23] [SPEAKER_00]: But where did the doorway go exactly?

[00:46:28] [SPEAKER_00]: It was like something out of a fairy tale or a George Lucas movie and

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_00]: You believed your sister when she told you about what she saw

[00:46:42] [SPEAKER_00]: It was just a scared angry bunch of teenagers all looking to kick Lucille's ass

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_00]: But they didn't find Lucille that day or the next

[00:46:58] [SPEAKER_00]: And when one kid checked by her house it was entirely covered with this large

[00:47:06] [SPEAKER_00]: bunigating tent, but what's all this got to do with that house back in the woods?

[00:47:17] [SPEAKER_00]: It was a good yeah, it was in good condition

[00:47:22] [SPEAKER_00]: compared to the neighboring houses our

[00:47:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Fearful eyes soon fixed onto the tall ragged silhouettes

[00:47:31] [SPEAKER_00]: shadowing the windows which were dimly lit by shaded lamps and

[00:47:36] [SPEAKER_00]: That's just what we did

[00:47:40] [SPEAKER_00]: It's still at the corner deanna replied still peering out the window

[00:47:47] [SPEAKER_00]: But I've talked with some of the people who had lived there

[00:47:53] [SPEAKER_00]: It was like one of those invasion of the body snatchers things

[00:47:59] [SPEAKER_00]: Wouldn't respond to any proper treatment just kept crawling and growing and

[00:48:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Popping out in other places on her arm

[00:48:11] [SPEAKER_00]: But from time to time the old path comes back but in strange unexpected places

[00:48:21] [SPEAKER_00]: And

[00:48:22] [SPEAKER_00]: That anyone who ever ventured to follow it had either found strange artifacts that change our lives for the worse or else

[00:48:32] [SPEAKER_00]: wound up possessed or

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Don't ever come back at all

[00:48:37] [SPEAKER_00]: But that path isn't going to come back now Izumi pointed out

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_00]: But you never can tell with things like that

[00:48:49] [SPEAKER_00]: It's these things only means of escape

[00:48:55] [SPEAKER_00]: gullible never do wells

[00:48:57] [SPEAKER_00]: Who want to rip that barrier way on things better left unknown and unrevealed and

[00:49:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Snake like with only front legs that left smears of a black

[00:49:14] [SPEAKER_00]: gooey substance as it crawled and slithered its way down the pain

[00:49:21] [SPEAKER_00]: It paused for a moment to pierce sightlessly in at them

[00:49:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Before noiselessly dropping down into the garden below

[00:49:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Finn

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_00]: Wow

[00:49:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so this is what I got from this

[00:49:40] [SPEAKER_02]: This is my interpretation as I was like joining us some notes based on what you were saying

[00:49:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Olivia question mark finds a magic place with a spell book in the closet

[00:49:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and then

[00:49:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Also hears her but then like later hears her sisters like calling for her

[00:49:58] [SPEAKER_02]: establishing that she's actually just playing make-believe in the closet

[00:50:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's late for lunch. So she decides to try and wrap up her adventure in make-believe and fight off some bad witch

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_02]: She then got stuck at Lucille's tea party in her make-believe land

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And then there's a bunch of stuff about Lucille after that

[00:50:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Eventually her she does make it back to lunch and with her sisters and

[00:50:25] [SPEAKER_02]: After and then it's just her sisters asking her questions about her adventures while she's having lunch

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_02]: And then there's some weird creepy thing like on the window that like maybe it wasn't may all just make believe

[00:50:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what I got out of your your conjunction junction for like the plot

[00:50:46] [SPEAKER_03]: It really pulls down the horror a lot

[00:50:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean like here like yes and no like it just kind of makes it more of like kind of like

[00:50:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Childhood like night the kind childhood nightmare kind of thing. Yeah

[00:50:59] [SPEAKER_03]: That's possibly all in our head at that point as well. True. Yeah. Yeah

[00:51:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, those kinds of weird stories we get when

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Mike he reads all the sentences in a story that store the words that they probably shouldn't like its answer butts

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Because there's always better words to use

[00:51:18] Indeed

[00:51:21] [SPEAKER_02]: All right gamer, do you have a any grammar in yellow? I think I have a couple left. Okay

[00:51:27] [SPEAKER_03]: So this one after a few minutes of pondering she stepped cautiously over to the door reaching out

[00:51:33] [SPEAKER_03]: To grasp the threshold

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_03]: So I've said it before and I'll say it again

[00:51:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Personally, I'm always against using minutes in this situation because odds are it was not

[00:51:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Three minutes that she waited there like put on a three minute timer and stand in one position like it's a long time

[00:51:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I prefer the rough sense of the word like

[00:51:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Using moment for example, I got for using a few moments. She decides to go in because like it's more vague

[00:52:06] [SPEAKER_03]: But you still know that the character is thinking about it and this happens a couple times for the story where like

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Minutes are used but I don't know if it's actually meant to be full-on minutes or not

[00:52:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, especially since like there's a part in the story where like

[00:52:21] [SPEAKER_02]: She's off in Lollaland like this weird like other place

[00:52:24] [SPEAKER_02]: But then her like sisters are like quickly like very quickly like trying to look for her apparently

[00:52:29] [SPEAKER_02]: So like how long has she been in that magic land and that that that version of the woods before like her

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Her friends and her before her sister and the babysitter find her like time is sort of vague in that space as well

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, and that one is like more acceptable because like at that point

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_03]: She's like failing sand checks from like the creepy shit happening and she's locked in place

[00:52:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So she is theoretically actually sitting there for minutes wondering what to do. That's fine

[00:52:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like the first one for sure. It's like it doesn't seem like it should be actual minutes

[00:53:02] [SPEAKER_03]: But what do I know then

[00:53:10] [SPEAKER_03]: This one we get to

[00:53:13] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a title to the second story

[00:53:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the old newspaper clipping

[00:53:21] yeah, and

[00:53:22] [SPEAKER_03]: This grammar is literally just the part where it says the express and telegraph

[00:53:27] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a an extra space at the front of the express. Oh

[00:53:32] [SPEAKER_03]: You're right. It's like in a little bit

[00:53:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Just enough to bother me

[00:53:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Really? Wow that is like

[00:53:40] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the hill you die on

[00:53:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, a little bit

[00:53:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And honestly, I only noticed that because when I copy and pasted that section in yeah as a title

[00:53:51] [SPEAKER_03]: You were for me doing any notes on that section. I noticed that it was in a bit

[00:53:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if that's why you didn't pick up that it was all like italics as well

[00:53:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Is because you were focused on that versus like the fact that that entire thing is italicized

[00:54:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, probably also the fact that italic italics sucks because it's not

[00:54:09] [SPEAKER_02]: For some people it's not noticeable enough

[00:54:12] [SPEAKER_03]: No

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_03]: With even at times I complain about you figure I'd be like

[00:54:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Scouring every single paragraph is this italic? No, okay moving on is this one italic no moving on

[00:54:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, like I'm like I'm like looking at it like from like about two feet away from my screen

[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And just like just looking at the screen itself with like the italics on one at the top of the bottom

[00:54:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And then some some non italics at the top

[00:54:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't notice a difference like just like just staring at the screen. I was like I don't really see a difference

[00:54:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, but I'll move on from there

[00:54:44] [SPEAKER_03]: This is when they're um, they're looking for olive and they say olive. Where are you?

[00:54:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the where are you doesn't have a question mark on it just an exclamation mark

[00:54:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So I feel like you should have both on the where are you?

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, true because you're loudly asking a question

[00:55:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, I was going to go after olive. Um, like some same way I do with is it on me?

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[00:55:05] [SPEAKER_02]: But then I realized oh no, it's just a nickname because it's like instead of olivia

[00:55:09] [SPEAKER_02]: They went with like all of his like a short a shortening like for their name. It's like steve or steven

[00:55:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Like yeah, you call them steve rather than steven because you do because uh, because just like something that kids do

[00:55:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It'll make nicknames for each other like or a better one dick instead of richard. Yeah, exactly

[00:55:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Or yeah, exactly. Yeah, or rich versus richard. Yeah, they're richie or yeah, exactly

[00:55:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But moving on from there

[00:55:34] [SPEAKER_03]: The porch blurred this is when she got grabbed the porch blurred past her as she

[00:55:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Was then yanked backwards towards the towards the void

[00:55:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Then warmed the strong hands caught her

[00:55:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Flailing feet and arms and then she was yanked back

[00:55:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It really okay. Yeah, so I'd suggest putting a comma after then because when I first read it

[00:55:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I somehow read it as the warm and strong hands like it was referring to the hundreds of arms

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That just started grabbing her. Yeah

[00:56:03] [SPEAKER_03]: So when I first read it it made it sound like kaelin was like the source of the hundred

[00:56:09] [SPEAKER_03]: shadowy hands that was grabbing her because it was later said that kaelin was the one that grabbed her

[00:56:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So I was very confused. Yeah fair

[00:56:16] [SPEAKER_03]: but putting a comma there after

[00:56:19] [SPEAKER_03]: after then

[00:56:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Like punctuates it a bit more so you notice

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[00:56:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And then comma

[00:56:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry, that just like took me a second to read

[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I was waiting to see if anyone

[00:56:33] [SPEAKER_02]: was like

[00:56:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I was like I thought a first second I thought you were like like then like looking for like another quote

[00:56:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That was like maybe about a comma and there was like wait. No, he's just then comma like he like he just said

[00:56:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Who's just pointing at it's like yes

[00:56:46] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[00:56:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Not only was I so scared

[00:56:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I also was worried that I wasn't going to be believed. I mean

[00:56:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you do that one too? I brought up the whole be believed thing

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Was there more to it? Yeah

[00:57:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, actually, okay

[00:57:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I also was worried that I wasn't going to believed ellipses. I mean the thing

[00:57:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Was so crazy looking compared to blah blah blah blah blah. So like I don't think she's that mean

[00:57:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's supposed to be I mean as in like

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Like I mean, you know, that's the correction. Yeah, okay. Did you do that correction as well?

[00:57:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I did not I did not catch that one. Yeah, she's calling herself mean, but she's really not

[00:57:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, I was more focused on the on the be believed thing. I think in that. Yes. I was more focused on her being mean

[00:57:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[00:57:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But that is the end of my uh grammar and yellow

[00:57:42] [SPEAKER_02]: all right

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Then I supposed to move on to actual thoughts

[00:57:46] [SPEAKER_02]: So

[00:57:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna start with the images and photos that are presented in the story throughout it

[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I forgot to look those back over

[00:57:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So looking at them, honestly, um

[00:57:55] [SPEAKER_02]: I think for the most part they're fine

[00:57:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And and they are appropriate to what's going on through the story, but they also don't give away too much like

[00:58:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, the first one's an image of like a girl

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_02]: And her reflection and the reflections kind of coming out of the coming out of the mirror kind of thing

[00:58:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's got a girl with a lantern kind of like what we see lucille later on

[00:58:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But like at that point we have no context to what this is

[00:58:18] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[00:58:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next one is

[00:58:21] [SPEAKER_02]: A bunch of scratchy and like vague faces on like a black paint on a black screen

[00:58:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And that is and you see that but then and then you get like the um the part where liviate like noses like vague

[00:58:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yet, uh like misshapen yet still recognizable human like mouths and eyes and noses

[00:58:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um kind of blurring through the uh the the window pane

[00:58:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So like it's a good like illustrative thing of like what she's seeing with the paragraph of of what she's seeing right next to it

[00:58:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel yes, I have two thoughts on that though. Okay one

[00:58:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's very symmetrical and laid out

[00:58:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, which I feel like it should just be like randomized a little bit

[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Unless that's exactly what you saw which is like that's kind of creepy as well

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_03]: If it's all that's ordered like tic-tac-toe

[00:59:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, like uh connect for whatever is happening here. Um also why is the one circled in blue?

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, you're right

[00:59:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's because this image was pulled from something else

[00:59:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It's and used as inspiration

[00:59:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I was waiting for like a focus to be mentioned on one specific face, but there wasn't any

[00:59:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, in fact, it says like yeah, it doesn't really go into like a specific one at all. Um

[00:59:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting. Yeah, I didn't catch that

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and then the next one we have I think is just an image of it's just a photo of like the woods like a trail through the woods like the um

[00:59:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Almost like an abandoned yellow brick road kind of looking for a thing

[00:59:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It almost looks like lava though

[00:59:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it's not but yeah, I know it looks kind of like like yellow leaves or like yellow brick road or yeah lava

[00:59:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yellow that's freaking red dude

[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Great. Well, I am colorblind a little bit. So I might be

[01:00:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Let me see this thing up close

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm also look I was also looking at it like

[01:00:08] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean it's orange

[01:00:11] [SPEAKER_02]: There's some yellow and or it's it's like orange like like like dead like fall leaves like orange like orange and reds and stuff

[01:00:17] [SPEAKER_02]: At that at least that's how it's showing up on my screen for me. So yeah, we might have different tints

[01:00:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It looks relatively red for me

[01:00:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but it's fine

[01:00:25] [SPEAKER_02]: um, but that that's again that one's uh, it's showing like

[01:00:29] [SPEAKER_02]: A creepy wooded path or like a like a mist like an enchanted like kind of wood looking path kind of thing

[01:00:34] [SPEAKER_02]: um, and I think they're talking about this about the um

[01:00:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, there's the whole story is called the way through the woods. So it works

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh well enough and then I think the last one is just um

[01:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, creepy little a creepy girl with a lantern walking through the woods, which is at the very end of the story

[01:00:53] [SPEAKER_02]: which is kind of again just like the

[01:00:55] [SPEAKER_02]: what they were talking about with uh when when

[01:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Evil lucille is like coming out of the of the hut and chasing them

[01:01:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Kind of thing so it's in red light. Yeah

[01:01:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Red light. Okay. It must be a tint on your on your on your screen because I'm seeing like pale yellow

[01:01:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I know I know I'm working with you asshole

[01:01:14] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, that's the end of my notes for uh for the um for the photos and images and so that is just like

[01:01:18] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought they were fine enough like they work. Yeah, they don't they don't obstruct the story too much

[01:01:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Mm-hmm

[01:01:26] [SPEAKER_02]: And then my next uh, so my my actual like comments on the actual story itself

[01:01:32] [SPEAKER_02]: There was no trace of clothes shoes or sports gear

[01:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: There was no trace of anything resembling the interior of a closet

[01:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: It was now a hollow opening facing a lawn surrounded by dry leaves and woods

[01:01:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Ah shit, olivia is about to get narniaed

[01:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Next sentence olivia scrunched her nose and frowned is this like narnia? I need to read faster

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I literally like said like oh shit olivia's about to get narniaed

[01:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then I read the next sentence of the quote and it was like and she straight up got references to dardia. I was like god damn it

[01:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean it is like it is like the the most like common like term for like a the line the witch in the wardrobe

[01:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's literally in the name in the in the name of the first book

[01:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, um because a wardrobe is just another word for closet

[01:02:21] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:02:22] [SPEAKER_02]: but yeah, so I thought that was funny that like I I

[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Reference that like for my own quote and then I read continue reading the story and they said the exact same thing

[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, uh then the next thing I have

[01:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: With a huff of annoyance

[01:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: She stepped determinedly across the threshold the sweet heavy scent of loamy earth and blossoms soon filling her nostrils

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And coated the back of her throat

[01:02:51] [SPEAKER_02]: loamy earth

[01:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: According to dictionary.com

[01:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Adjective denoting or relating to a fertile soil of clay and sand containing hummus

[01:03:01] [SPEAKER_02]: So I learned a new word or descriptive word for the smell of soil like specifically like that stuff where like things are growing in the soil

[01:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because I'd never really heard that the term loamy so same

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and then we have this one which I think Mikey might have referenced in his uh conjunction junction and like commented about it

[01:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But I'm gonna be a little bit more theatrical with mine

[01:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[01:03:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It soon earned the reputation of the third most dangerous magic book in the world after the grizzly grimoire of oglath as ghoroth

[01:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Of zilf and the most dangerous book of all the spontaneous combustible

[01:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Bicell-a-bessa

[01:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: filum mignon

[01:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Which even a mere mention of its name caused one's shoes to burst into flames jokes on you. I'm not wearing

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: my feet

[01:03:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I did hear the owl or the ouch

[01:03:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh when you were doing the uh conjunction junction, but I was I was muted so

[01:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just let those funny like that a little bit. It's like the um huge shinapi name that I can't I can never say his actual name because

[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Of course, yes because of the uh the running gag that if you say huge shinapi names name

[01:04:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh your head explodes

[01:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah for me when I read that quote i'm like jokes on you my shoes are in the other room

[01:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: They're on fire in that other room. I have to buy a pair of shoes, but they're over there

[01:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's like jokes on you my future in the other room

[01:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like then your your fire alarm goes off like

[01:04:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like oh

[01:04:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Then the next thing I have here is actually from the the telegraph

[01:04:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Or specifically the the express and telegraph and now that i'm seeing my quote version of it

[01:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't unsee that space

[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Damn you gamer

[01:04:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Glad to have ruined that for you

[01:04:55] [SPEAKER_02]: all right. Yeah, so uh the express and telegraph neo calpuria

[01:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: New australia

[01:05:02] [SPEAKER_02]: 1867 to 19 or to 1920

[01:05:05] [SPEAKER_02]: plague of apocalyptic proportions

[01:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: A vessel infested and the crew demoralized

[01:05:11] [SPEAKER_02]: An account arrived from new amsterdam told of strange adventure

[01:05:16] [SPEAKER_02]: which

[01:05:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Happened recently on board of the schooner medib leth durb. Sorry

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Medib leth durg

[01:05:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Which was sailing from new hawaii to new pacifica california

[01:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I wonder if it's new hawaii california. Anyway, um the schooner was manned by a mix of mixed crew of girdin human and elves

[01:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[01:05:41] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of new places here in this article

[01:05:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And as far as I know uh outside of like new amsterdam, which was historically the first name of new york city

[01:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:05:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And the other places don't seem to exist as far as I can tell all like doing a quick google search and such

[01:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: At least like the the new versions of them

[01:06:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I would like the name the new ones the ones with new in the name because like usually that's what they do for like

[01:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: towns and stuff of that is like

[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:06:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Like there is a pacifica

[01:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: There is a pacifica california and there is a hawaii though now that i'm curious like because I didn't check if there was a new hawaii california

[01:06:21] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:06:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but yeah, so I'm curious if this is like some alternate reality

[01:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Because like the curtisville stories seem to have those in the setting like alternate realities seem to kind of like pass through our

[01:06:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Passed through this settings reality a couple times

[01:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Like the reality they're in there's chick charnes and magic and all this other stuff

[01:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So they're already in a different reality

[01:06:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, and that and they the curtisville stories also do seem to have like some kind of multiverse to them because there's humans from other realities or other places

[01:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, like they're not native humans to earth. There's like humans from other earths maybe so yeah, I had me had me curious about that and uh

[01:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It also could just be like just more fictional towns and locations like you said gamer

[01:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: In the in the in the setting of curtisville's uh stories

[01:07:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know

[01:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: It's just a lot of new like I can't wait for like the cyberpunk apocalypse to happen here

[01:07:13] [SPEAKER_03]: So we have like neo new hawaii and shit like that. Yeah, or it's like it's like that joke. It's like neo new york

[01:07:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what I just said. No you said yeah, yeah, yeah fair. Yeah

[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Um

[01:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I was referencing one of the actual locations mentioned in the story

[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was referencing an old gag of like what the future is holds for new york is just going to be called neo new york

[01:07:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I was doing both

[01:07:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Moving on to the next thing I have my my comments here

[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm also guessing that since it's mentioned that the schooner and was crude by girdon humans and elves

[01:07:46] [SPEAKER_02]: That this is also matching into the settings magical realism

[01:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: aspect where like it's in a world where like

[01:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Humans and other magical creatures and magical beings live side by side in either

[01:08:00] [SPEAKER_02]: But like and like everything's like they go about mundane lives and such

[01:08:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Shatter run. Yeah, it's shadow run but in like apparently in this case it's in like the 1820s or the 1867 so it's actually kind of like um the

[01:08:12] [SPEAKER_02]: again connective tissues time

[01:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Recently found out that uh, the the original company that that that came up with shatter run and earth dawn

[01:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: The rpg settings

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_02]: They no longer have the rights for shatter run, but they had the rights for the old earth dawn fantasy setting

[01:08:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So they made a new timeline where magic returned in the fifth world not the sixth world like in shatter run

[01:08:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and it's now called eight london 1879

[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: so it's like in like basically victorian era, but like there's

[01:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: orcs and trolls and elves and so that have

[01:08:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That were originally humans that like suddenly expressed into these different fantasy races

[01:08:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But uh, yeah, I'll I'll move on

[01:08:55] [SPEAKER_02]: From my connective tissues time there

[01:08:59] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: So the next quote I have here, um

[01:09:03] [SPEAKER_02]: She struggled to her feet and scurried to the phone yanking up the receiver. Yeah. Hello. She said groggily

[01:09:09] [SPEAKER_02]: What she winced at the shrillness of the note of the voice at the other on the other end

[01:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is when misaki like tumbles out of the broom closet

[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like was misaki sleeping in that broom closet and while waiting for a livery to find her

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And did she take so long to find her that she was actually started like dosing off down in that closet?

[01:09:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Why because like it's like she said groggily like

[01:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Long lines of like, uh, fuck. I don't want to listen to this person. Oh, maybe that yeah

[01:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the way I saw it anyways, but yes also may have fallen asleep in there

[01:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[01:09:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Because you've taken so long from being like stuck in

[01:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Being lured away into like this weird version. I've got a thing about like what actually happened because like I

[01:09:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, that's my next quote here. Actually, I'll just go with that

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Perfect. Um, all I know is that she must have a good enough reason for coming and

[01:09:59] [SPEAKER_02]: At this very moment. I'm hating our kid sister

[01:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: For going off to hide in the woods out back all by herself

[01:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, this is when like she's hearing her sister's voices like off in the distance

[01:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: While while Olivia is in like this magical wood place

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And I was like wait, so is the portal just

[01:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Does the portal in the closet just go out to the woods out back?

[01:10:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But like the weather's all different

[01:10:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it was raining when Olivia was in the apartment and it's like it was like considered sunny and clear in in the

[01:10:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The magical wood part of it

[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Unless Olivia is hearing her sisters in this place

[01:10:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But they're on a different plane of existence

[01:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So like this is a different version of those woods kind of thing and she's hearing like an echo of her

[01:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Of her sisters who are in the real world like walking through the woods

[01:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Olivia might be in the time dilation. Yeah, and yeah from that one story we did

[01:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that was actually a won't think straight story actually

[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, like one of the early ones where like the guy is like stuck in

[01:10:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Like he just suddenly like blinks into another it like blinks forward in time or something

[01:11:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I actually have an update from this because I again continued reading the story and I got some more ideas here

[01:11:08] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's never mentioned directly

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But I get the impression

[01:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Later on that a little what Olivia was experiencing was actually at least at least partially illusionary

[01:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And she was being lured to this shabby shack in the woods behind the family apartment

[01:11:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Like maybe the portal was real

[01:11:28] [SPEAKER_02]: But it just like ported her to the outside into the woods

[01:11:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But then like made it look like to her like it was like a clear day in a different version of the woods

[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_02]: When really she's like just appeared in the woods outside her apartment. It's still raining and storming

[01:11:40] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:11:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, she just walked out in walked outside

[01:11:45] [SPEAKER_02]: After getting caught up in this creature's like metaphorical web of lies and illusionary magic

[01:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's why though

[01:11:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That's my kind of going theory is that part at least partially it was actually like an illusionary baiting to go out to the woods to that creepy hut

[01:12:03] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:12:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next thing we have

[01:12:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh police is zumi groaned

[01:12:10] [SPEAKER_02]: You actually believed all that stuff about those kids dying of some disgusting demonic disease at a slumber party seance

[01:12:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Actually, they got murdered by some unknown killer Kyoto corrected her

[01:12:22] [SPEAKER_02]: All of them poisoned by this mandrake like plant root that was vaporized in the kerosene in this kerosene lamp

[01:12:30] [SPEAKER_02]: worked faster than than arsenic

[01:12:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Worked faster than arsenic and pretty horrible too

[01:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Their skin was all blistered and purplish black and it all and it was flaking off in bloody strips

[01:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is like what what?

[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: hearing like from like as her like sister seemed to be like looking for her and she starts like and then they start talking

[01:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And she can hear that those conversations as well like kind of off in the distance in the woods

[01:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and

[01:12:57] [SPEAKER_02]: So she's able to hear this and like she's kind of like rolling sand from like the things that she's like

[01:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: hearing from like the hut and stuff

[01:13:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I just kept picturing her just trying to ignore that and just going la la la la la

[01:13:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Because she was already kind of freaking out by like what her parent what her what she was hearing her sisters talking about

[01:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she was always kind of getting like traumatized by that

[01:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Like as as little as little kids do when when somebody tells them something scary or like they overhear some older people saying something scary

[01:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Your sisters are literally just making it worse. Yeah, exactly and they don't know it

[01:13:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is just a little bit of a little bit of like silly like silly fun in the story

[01:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the horror. It's a little bit like macabre horror like macabre humor

[01:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um also i'm gonna use this section here

[01:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:13:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But once again

[01:13:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I am just enamored with the strangeness and magical realism these stories seem to give us

[01:13:51] [SPEAKER_02]: like

[01:13:52] [SPEAKER_02]: That these kids these characters who live in courgette'sville or like around courgette'sville like just seem to like

[01:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Live in a world where like fantasy shit and horror shit is just like commonplace and mundane

[01:14:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, again. I'm just I love this. This was the vibe. I was like I enjoy about these these stories

[01:14:10] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:14:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So moving on to the next thing here

[01:14:13] [SPEAKER_02]: There you are kiyoto shouted finally

[01:14:17] [SPEAKER_02]: We've been looking all over for you guys as you may burst out. It's like the Blair witch woods out here

[01:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So this story does have its fair share of little pulp culture references like this in in the dialogue

[01:14:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh amidst all the, you know fantastical creature terminology that we get as well

[01:14:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And honestly it works for me because it it helps ground it in mundane modern world where kids would reference things

[01:14:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Like this in there in there when they're talking about like weird shit

[01:14:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Like at least I did as a kid and still do like in conversations like when when weird shit happens in real life

[01:14:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Like for me, I do tend to like think back on like like find like an anchor point or like kind of a um

[01:14:55] [SPEAKER_02]: uh like a referential point to like try and like figure like just to um

[01:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Either make light of the situation of like what's of the weird situation or just to kind of like find a way to like familiarize it to me

[01:15:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like this reminds like this weird thing reminds me of this thing. Oh like

[01:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh when like the power went out the other day the other day and like we had like there's this horrible like

[01:15:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Blue flash that like lit up the sky on my end of the neighborhood

[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah on my end of the neighborhood

[01:15:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And and then like for you gamer it was green flashing light

[01:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I literally like all I could think of was the war of the world since finally happened

[01:15:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Like the martians are coming down with the tripods

[01:15:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for sure

[01:15:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah, like that's that literally and we talked about it afterwards like uh like about like oh it was like

[01:15:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Just a transformer exploded uh up the hill from where I live

[01:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But like but it lit up but it lit up the the yeah, it was it was it was the transformers landing or it was

[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: War of the world kind of stuff

[01:15:50] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, like that kind of like it's both of we're talking about transformers because they're aliens and also the transformers

[01:15:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. Yeah

[01:15:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, like that that's the kind of thing that we we we've had conversations where we referenced like pop culture all the time

[01:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Like and I remember into our show. We do it every episode

[01:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly and like that's not like but it's not isolated to the show like we do this

[01:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway, too like in and when I was a kid. I was also doing the same thing. So yeah

[01:16:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it helped ground the the conversations that were going on in the story for me

[01:16:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Like to like make it feel believable like that these are the kind of these are real

[01:16:25] [SPEAKER_02]: these are actually like

[01:16:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Like they're they're believable conversations that kids would have

[01:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And they're like honestly a little long-winded

[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's kind of the way that conversations would go in that situation because of all the referencing back and forth and stuff like that

[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, um, I mean there's a little bit less stuttering

[01:16:43] [SPEAKER_02]: But this is also the kind of like conversations. I've had with my niece cultist. So

[01:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And she's about the same age as these kids now. So like

[01:16:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it makes sense like like she has like there's a little bit more stuttering on her part

[01:16:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But like she has long-winded little like like descriptions and like talks about things to me sometimes

[01:17:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Not saying that's a bad thing just like that's how kids talk so like wait till she starts listening to the podcast

[01:17:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and he's called us. It's not

[01:17:10] [SPEAKER_02]: It wasn't a bad thing. It was just like that. That's how kids talk. So

[01:17:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it's it's again a grounding point. So it's an anchor point for like like familiarizing with the story in the situation

[01:17:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Anyway moving on

[01:17:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Before I toss myself further under a bus

[01:17:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That's fine

[01:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so yeah, the next thing I have here

[01:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Kyoto scowled but we didn't believe oh we didn't believe them because we thought they're

[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: We thought they were just being prejudice because

[01:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: She's a hua lao

[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_02]: A hua lao what now?

[01:17:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Kaelin asked baffled

[01:17:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Where we're from it's kind of like the Hawaiian word

[01:17:53] [SPEAKER_02]: hail or

[01:17:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Howley

[01:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Mizaki explained meaning foreigner although who allow

[01:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Who allows more of an ethnic slur?

[01:18:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Even the non-native people hate people called

[01:18:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Even the non-native people hate being called that

[01:18:13] [SPEAKER_02]: They're rather they're rather being called

[01:18:17] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a grammar inquisition, but I'll get to that in a second

[01:18:23] [SPEAKER_02]: They're rather they are rather being called

[01:18:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Malahini or halloe or midgarder

[01:18:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It means rogue alien human Olivia murmured because that's what ellie Lambert is a rogue alien human

[01:18:39] [SPEAKER_02]: So first off grammar inquisition

[01:18:43] [SPEAKER_02]: uh belated a grammar acquisition. I think it should be

[01:18:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, they'd rather be called because it would be like they would rather than they are rather being called

[01:18:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But secondly, oh man, we finally after so many years we finally

[01:18:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Well after like the wait is over

[01:19:00] [SPEAKER_02]: We finally have a proper definition in story from uh from a term that we we heard in summer camp

[01:19:07] [SPEAKER_02]: and like other courgetous full stories the

[01:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: the

[01:19:09] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: the who allow

[01:19:11] [SPEAKER_02]: uh word

[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: um actually gives us an explanation in this story through a

[01:19:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Like a through the actual like through like a natural dialogue like explanation

[01:19:23] [SPEAKER_03]: That's cool that we're getting a proper

[01:19:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Excom explanation for it. Yeah

[01:19:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Because this also gives more credence to the to my idea from summer break and as a result 2017's version

[01:19:35] [SPEAKER_02]: of summer break that we've covered

[01:19:37] [SPEAKER_02]: over the years

[01:19:39] [SPEAKER_02]: that Olivia was reading uh, so in actually specifically in the um, yeah in in summer break Olivia was on the bus reading a

[01:19:47] [SPEAKER_02]: multiversal tabloid

[01:19:49] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of thing and

[01:19:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Because and then for and like that's kind of this adds extra credence to that because it's now fully established at like

[01:19:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like beings even humans from other places and realities

[01:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Seem to be a thing in this setting and now we have like

[01:20:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and we kind of already knew that but like this actually gives us more explanation for like some of the terminology that we've heard over the years like

[01:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: uh of what the of like because we never really got a proper name for

[01:20:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Like a proper explanation for what uh who allow was I think the best the closest we got was just like

[01:20:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Like a non-native human

[01:20:24] [SPEAKER_02]: But this one just kind of gives us even more explanation as to where the word comes from

[01:20:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Which I thought was cool. It's very nice. Yeah

[01:20:33] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: The next thing I have here

[01:20:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, yeah, well, I'm surprised she's she's still going to school. Kailin muttered. She sipped her drink frowning

[01:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: man

[01:20:46] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a lot of conversational storytelling in this story

[01:20:51] [SPEAKER_02]: That's and it's not necessarily a bad thing

[01:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's more of an observation of the story

[01:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It is this whole story is constructed in a very natural way when it's telling it's not just like

[01:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not it feels natural versus like somebody just giving exposition like like just constantly exposition dropping

[01:21:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, it actually feels like like a natural conversation or like a natural way that like an oral storyteller would tell some other people

[01:21:16] [SPEAKER_02]: About a story, but it's being but but but it's written here in some of that

[01:21:22] [SPEAKER_02]: So um

[01:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: And and as it keeps going

[01:21:27] [SPEAKER_02]: That though as it keeps going

[01:21:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I do question how kailin has memorized other convert like some of these other conversations and stuff that have gone on

[01:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And I mean

[01:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: To counter that she she is an elf as established

[01:21:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe she has some kind of idetic memory as like a racial trait or something

[01:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Or

[01:21:48] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, she took that trait at level two

[01:21:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly

[01:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Or maybe she's just a born talented storyteller

[01:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And so this these aren't actually the conversations like exactly to the letter that were being said

[01:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: But she's just kind of going in and filling in the blanks for this performance that she's telling these these children

[01:22:06] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I figured that it's not verbatim. It's just this is basically what was said

[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I just had to get that out there because like I mean

[01:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It is sort of a thing that that hapsin was on our show where we questioned like how does this character know all this stuff that she's

[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: They're saying to these characters

[01:22:21] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah, um

[01:22:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, uh with something that said or like just shortly before this uh this quote

[01:22:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I did where like Olivia takes like a solemn sip from her coffee and and like affirms something that uh that uh

[01:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: kailin asks her and just like replies yep

[01:22:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I had to remind myself that she was all like a lot these kids are all these these are all kids and like

[01:22:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's supposed to be Olivia seven

[01:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: So my mental image of this is just these kids dealing with this these kinds of like crazy weird like horror fantasy situations

[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: and circumstances

[01:22:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Um in just sort of this like matter of fact kind of situations. It's just like solemnly drinking her coffee

[01:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like or her hot chocolate. It's like yep. It's exactly like that

[01:23:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's it felt for me

[01:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It felt very much like the goonies or like a little fierce tabletop rpg like adventure

[01:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Where the characters talk a little bit more adult than they or or it's like they they're they the kids are

[01:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: They act more serious

[01:23:18] [SPEAKER_02]: On the situation

[01:23:20] [SPEAKER_04]: In yeah

[01:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[01:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So my next one here

[01:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, my sister wasn't one of my sister wasn't one for telling tall tales

[01:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: She even told my parents about it. Although

[01:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Not surprisingly

[01:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: They were rather skeptical about the whole thing

[01:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a bit more grammar on there sounds like oh so the um

[01:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so it's like she even told uh told our parents about it comma. Although not surprisingly comma

[01:23:55] [SPEAKER_02]: They were rather skeptical about the whole thing not things

[01:23:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, especially dad

[01:24:01] [SPEAKER_02]: He thought it was all a prank some

[01:24:05] [SPEAKER_02]: film student did

[01:24:06] [SPEAKER_02]: With some hidden mirror and cameras

[01:24:09] [SPEAKER_02]: He had always been pretty skeptical of the paranormal until he came face to face with it. So first off

[01:24:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Why is her dad skeptical or why are there is their dad skeptical of this stuff?

[01:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Kaelin was literally described earlier as an elf

[01:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Is is the dad not actually in on this kind of stuff?

[01:24:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, just because someone's an elf doesn't mean that magic is uh like prominent in the world

[01:24:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Like fantasy races might be a thing

[01:24:38] [SPEAKER_03]: But magic might not be in the open

[01:24:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Or like even elf even elf people don't like believe in some of the magic because like they're more in the modern day kind of place

[01:24:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, yeah, but again just because you're an elf doesn't mean you're magical

[01:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, I I get yeah

[01:24:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's it's sort of actually like the that that Pixar movie. I think uh onward

[01:24:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes

[01:24:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Where like it's it's a fantasy world that like has suddenly become modernized over the centuries

[01:25:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Where to the point where like magic is like a myth

[01:25:05] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of thing so

[01:25:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, you're right. It could be like that. I do propose another option, but I don't believe it. I don't want to believe it

[01:25:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Just like devil's advocating this

[01:25:17] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[01:25:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Again advocating I don't want this to be the case

[01:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But it could also be that this uh

[01:25:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Um that all the all the supernatural stuff

[01:25:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Um in this story and like all the all the references to like fantasy stuff yet again

[01:25:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Um the adults don't see because the magic and the supernatural stuff is all like belief power by the children or by the younger characters in this in these stories

[01:25:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's just all make believe

[01:25:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You know again, I don't want to believe that I don't want to mundanify it like that

[01:25:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Because I love the magical realism of these stories. I just had to throw that out there as a devil's advocate

[01:25:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Um my second thing here about the dad

[01:26:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Not being uh being pretty sparing bringing pretty skeptical of the paranormal until he came face to face with it

[01:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Who is it? What's her? What's his uh, what's her dad's name?

[01:26:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Zach Baggins from ghost adventures. He didn't believe in ghosts until he came face to face with one

[01:26:19] [SPEAKER_03]: That literally

[01:26:21] [SPEAKER_02]: That's blurry in the intro. Uh, it's like my name's zack baggins

[01:26:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't believe in ghosts until I came face to face with one now

[01:26:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Now i'm out here trying to get further proof of the paranormal

[01:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: nice

[01:26:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it was just like I had to like reference that because it's just such a such a

[01:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: A uh a pronounced line. It's like wow

[01:26:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh the next thing I have

[01:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Kaelin shrugged and shook her head

[01:26:48] [SPEAKER_02]: We didn't know what they were and they weren't as scary as what came afterwards

[01:26:55] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'd use this quote but like it really feels like this story is just like two or three stories mashed together

[01:27:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, like we kind of referenced earlier

[01:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: um, like the first half was Olivia getting lured by the ghost uh demonic hut thing

[01:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And like being saved by her siblings and her elven babysitter

[01:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the other half of this story so far and this is as i'm reading the story

[01:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Is just like the whole history about that ghostly entity that tried to snag, um

[01:27:28] [SPEAKER_02]: uh, Olivia like

[01:27:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Just getting the first part of it is like the encounter and then the rest of the story is another story

[01:27:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That's just like the origin story for that monster that tried to get it. It's almost like this story should have stopped and then

[01:27:44] [SPEAKER_03]: They sit down and then when they're sitting down talking about the back story of what happened

[01:27:48] [SPEAKER_03]: That's another story. Yeah, exactly another whole entry that should be happening, you know

[01:27:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, or like there should be almost like uh chapter one the encounter and then chapter two is

[01:27:58] [SPEAKER_02]: The origin kind of thing like yeah something like that like because some of these stories um that we're going to be covering

[01:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I I know have chapters in them

[01:28:05] [SPEAKER_02]: So I know there's parts in these stories

[01:28:07] [SPEAKER_02]: That are like segmented like that and I feel like that something that could have been done for this story as well

[01:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: For a little again better clarification on like what's going on and like how things are being organized in the story

[01:28:17] [SPEAKER_02]: um now that said like the story being mashed by two two of them mashed together, um

[01:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: There are some linking threads that we do get through it like especially from the ghost thing because like we find out by the end that um

[01:28:29] [SPEAKER_02]: uh

[01:28:30] [SPEAKER_02]: The reason why we're getting this kind of information is because l because of ellie Lambert

[01:28:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Who seems to be have a connect? Well at first we don't realize has like has like a full on connection to lucille Lambert

[01:28:41] [SPEAKER_02]: but

[01:28:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Um seems to have a similar have a connection to that character in that she's going down a similar path as lucille did

[01:28:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and then even with the articles clippings we get at first like we don't they're just kind of referenced and we get those

[01:28:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Those things but then later on when like we find out about the houses being fumigated for

[01:28:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Poisonous centipedes and scorpions then suddenly you're harking back to the articles

[01:29:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like oh shit. It's a similar curse kind of thing

[01:29:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And then even the the the sorceress is um booby trap spell book like that that dangerous spell book

[01:29:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Is likely what lucille found and then what likely what ellie has found

[01:29:19] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:29:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So it does all kind of come together and all kind of like culminate by the end

[01:29:24] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's it's a quite a winding trail between like several story lines

[01:29:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Takes a little while to get there, but it does yeah

[01:29:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[01:29:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, so at this point this this is a quote at this point of the story

[01:29:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I was getting a little like the like this sort of points out at the story's like length and how deceptively long it feels

[01:29:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Mention that when I was doing my run my readings to like keep you up to data how far along I was

[01:29:48] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought I was three cores the way through and then like just because of the vibes of it

[01:29:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And then I looked at the the scroll bar. I was like, oh, I'm not even a third done

[01:29:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so so this is the quote I have that I like I commented and this is like again showing how like how far it was

[01:30:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so she disappeared without a trace Izumi said in a whisper

[01:30:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Just like that, but what's all this got to do with that house back back there in the woods kiyoto inquired impatiently

[01:30:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for asking the hundred dollar question kiyoto

[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Just like because at that point I was like, where is this going? Like what is this connected here?

[01:30:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Just like an audience surrogate at that point. Yeah

[01:30:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and then the next thing I have

[01:30:32] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all a bunch of like quoted dialogue. So

[01:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Where's it at?

[01:30:36] [SPEAKER_02]: On the far corner of the street at the edge of the woods where the subdivision used to be judeff stopped sniffing and

[01:30:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Stare at her friend baffled what happened to it

[01:30:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's still at the corner deanna replied still peering out the woods

[01:30:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Just standing there now it's gone just vanished suddenly

[01:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: No, I mean the subdivision. Oh that

[01:30:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I I also just liked this little interaction this little bit of like writing in like for the interaction

[01:31:02] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just because like it was so good. Yeah, it's just like where's it at?

[01:31:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like oh, it's at the corner. It's like uh, where that with that old subdivision used to be

[01:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, what happened to it and and then like the care's like, oh like it's still there and then wait

[01:31:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, it just vanished out of there. It's like no. I'm at the subdivision. Oh, oh, yeah here. Let me let me

[01:31:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the nice thing about it is like when you're writing

[01:31:23] [SPEAKER_03]: You as a writer know everything

[01:31:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but the characters don't necessarily know what each character's trying to portray to them

[01:31:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And this is a good example of like she didn't fully get it, but that's realistic

[01:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly. Yeah, and it's just a fun little like like back and forth too. So yeah

[01:31:42] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:31:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, like the story eventually explains like

[01:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: What was brought up here about like the subdivision and stuff of that

[01:31:49] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:31:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But and again, this is this is all hearkening to like the conversational storytelling which

[01:31:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It is long and meandering, but it is it does tell you like it does get to it in time

[01:32:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's it's a journey, but it's not an unpleasant journey for the most part

[01:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: There's just a few instances where it's like

[01:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, like I think it's almost done because it sounds like it's almost done. No

[01:32:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We got another like a couple pages

[01:32:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I'll move on to the next thing I have here

[01:32:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[01:32:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Judith and me looked at each other then in a tense voice judevast

[01:32:28] [SPEAKER_02]: What witch brat

[01:32:29] [SPEAKER_02]: lucille lambart

[01:32:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And so at this point it and I was like is this really the first time we're getting lucille's last name and it's lambart

[01:32:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Like Emily like em like ellie lambart

[01:32:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess that's another link between the past and the present story here

[01:32:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's just like my my my like my comment like my my thought process as I was reading this part

[01:32:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like oh the plot thickens

[01:32:56] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the next thing um

[01:32:59] [SPEAKER_02]: We're actually i'm about two two sections two more things than i'm done for my actual thoughts

[01:33:03] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:33:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Visually mesaki wrote all this in her notebook damn she is a

[01:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Vapid writer

[01:33:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all in short handler or something. Yeah, probably um in her notebook

[01:33:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Then within six months all hell broke loose stuttered

[01:33:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Her pen paused as she looked up very startled

[01:33:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Kaelan stared at stared back at her clearly puzzled by mesaki's suddenly pailing face

[01:33:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Then she continued on where she left off

[01:33:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So at this point like it i'm guessing because we we know that like mesaki from earlier

[01:33:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Was the one with the with the scrapbook that had all those articles and stuff like that

[01:33:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is another point where the story is like kind of harkening back to something that was previously mentioned

[01:33:49] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:33:50] [SPEAKER_02]: So like at this point I was like so i'm guessing that this is meant to be mesaki recalling

[01:33:56] [SPEAKER_02]: That she has a bunch of article clippings in a scrapbook

[01:34:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And connecting the dots in the story between the bug attacks on the schooner and the bug mold attacks in these

[01:34:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Events that that uh that kaelan is referencing

[01:34:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Um like we're getting a character connected dots the same way that we are

[01:34:16] [SPEAKER_02]: We as readers would connect some dots because we've been like listening to both things

[01:34:21] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And then my last thing here is just something that I love about the story

[01:34:28] [SPEAKER_02]: specifically

[01:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: As for that subdivision the city shut down the that road through the woods several years back

[01:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no building now. There's no buildings now and they had planted a lot of thick trees across the entrance

[01:34:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And now

[01:34:44] [SPEAKER_02]: You would never know that there was ever a path through those woods or that people had ever lived in that spot

[01:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But from time to time the old path comes back

[01:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But in strange and unexpected places

[01:34:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Always leading back to that house

[01:35:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Ah, I do love me strange abandoned suburbia or subdivisions in the woods that have been closed down or run down

[01:35:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and creepy liminal wood trails

[01:35:12] [SPEAKER_02]: There's just something about it. Just like civilization lost

[01:35:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's almost like a modern law civilization kind of thing appeal

[01:35:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think to it and there's like the the creepiness of like

[01:35:23] [SPEAKER_02]: A subdivision or like a like a couple streets that were like set up as a neighborhood in the woods

[01:35:28] [SPEAKER_02]: That was then just have shuttered and abandoned

[01:35:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And they just closed off the the the road that goes to it and then nature's kind of just crept in and and taken over the subdivision

[01:35:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Especially as sudden as is in the story too. Yeah, exactly

[01:35:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I really enjoyed the like a lot of the the scene said the the the scene trappings of the story

[01:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Or the setting trappings for the story

[01:35:53] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, that's uh, that's my

[01:35:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, that's my actual thoughts. So Mikey these stands Reval

[01:36:01] [SPEAKER_00]: All right

[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[01:36:05] [SPEAKER_00]: My first note here is about transitions

[01:36:08] [SPEAKER_00]: And how it would be nice if there were more transitions to help us

[01:36:12] [SPEAKER_00]: be here

[01:36:13] [SPEAKER_00]: keep everything straight

[01:36:15] [SPEAKER_00]: because

[01:36:17] [SPEAKER_00]: This is a story within a story within a story

[01:36:22] [SPEAKER_00]: story exception

[01:36:23] [SPEAKER_00]: the way it's

[01:36:26] because

[01:36:29] [SPEAKER_00]: And my note here is

[01:36:31] [SPEAKER_00]: The narrator

[01:36:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Is telling a story of kailyn who's telling a story to the sisters

[01:36:37] [SPEAKER_00]: About herself and judith where they encountered diana who tells a story about ginger and lucille

[01:36:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh god, i've gone cross-eyed

[01:36:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[01:36:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot yeah, yeah

[01:36:53] [SPEAKER_01]: so

[01:36:55] [SPEAKER_00]: And I feel the transitions would definitely help make it a better read anyway

[01:37:00] [SPEAKER_00]: So that we can keep track of

[01:37:03] [SPEAKER_00]: where we are

[01:37:04] [SPEAKER_00]: in the story even though it's technically

[01:37:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Just the sisters and then

[01:37:12] [SPEAKER_00]: um

[01:37:13] [SPEAKER_00]: The babysitter talking to them

[01:37:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah for the next portion

[01:37:18] [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah

[01:37:19] [SPEAKER_00]: All right

[01:37:23] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[01:37:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Here's a section that I feel hope

[01:37:28] [SPEAKER_00]: Way too long to get to the punch

[01:37:32] [SPEAKER_00]: I have the quote here

[01:37:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Suddenly we heard a slight creaking noise

[01:37:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Our ears strained and eyes widened as the front door suddenly opened as someone stepped out

[01:37:44] [SPEAKER_00]: onto the porch

[01:37:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone with the exception of mizaki stared at kailyn

[01:37:51] [SPEAKER_00]: In crudulous terror in their widening eyes

[01:37:55] [SPEAKER_00]: We stood for a moment silent and motionless

[01:37:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Staring as the figure walks slowly towards us

[01:38:01] [SPEAKER_00]: Then judith managed to catch her breath

[01:38:04] [SPEAKER_00]: And yell

[01:38:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Run

[01:38:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh many words later

[01:38:12] [SPEAKER_00]: What did you see Olivia asked in a low frightened voice

[01:38:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Kailyn leaned forward hands clenched in her lap as she stared at the sisters across the table

[01:38:23] [SPEAKER_00]: I saw the same nosferatu dude my little brother saw in his bedroom back in our first house

[01:38:31] [SPEAKER_00]: She explained except for one difference

[01:38:35] [SPEAKER_00]: He was wearing yusie's eyes is a me frowned scratching her head

[01:38:41] [SPEAKER_00]: Kailyn shook her head slowly this guy had a trench coat full of eyes

[01:38:45] [SPEAKER_00]: As well as a lot of creepy crawlies

[01:38:49] [SPEAKER_00]: A note of fear came into her voice

[01:38:52] [SPEAKER_00]: I had a feeling that those things were a part of him rather than a part of an elaborate costume

[01:39:00] [SPEAKER_00]: There was even one big eye right smack in the middle of his chest

[01:39:05] [SPEAKER_00]: like

[01:39:06] [SPEAKER_00]: so

[01:39:08] [SPEAKER_00]: Basically we get the story where

[01:39:11] [SPEAKER_00]: The guys tips out they run

[01:39:15] [SPEAKER_00]: Then many

[01:39:17] [SPEAKER_00]: Like a long a few paragraphs later

[01:39:21] [SPEAKER_00]: We finally get the interjection of what did you see?

[01:39:25] [SPEAKER_00]: From Olivia and then the description

[01:39:29] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah of the monsters like

[01:39:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Why wasn't that sooner?

[01:39:34] [SPEAKER_03]: We also sense like at the moment

[01:39:37] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:39:38] [SPEAKER_03]: There was like a pause of as soon as she saw him

[01:39:41] [SPEAKER_03]: There were like it's it stretched out a small pause of like that moment

[01:39:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Which felt like

[01:39:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It was one of those moments where like you're scared and you're taking in all this information really quickly and then you run

[01:39:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Yet we don't get that information. She does

[01:39:57] [SPEAKER_03]: but the advantage of

[01:39:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Telling it later compared to right away

[01:40:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Is you can naturally have the character tell the other characters what she saw because if

[01:40:09] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:40:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Although the whole thing is us is her telling the other characters

[01:40:14] [SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, she could have actually just said it right away

[01:40:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Also, it's not a narrator situation

[01:40:20] [SPEAKER_02]: also

[01:40:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the creature that she saw was different from what Judith saw and what Arlen saw

[01:40:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[01:40:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Like they apparently like they saw they all saw something different come out of the come out of the port all onto the porch

[01:40:34] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but if they all saw something different

[01:40:37] [SPEAKER_00]: then why are

[01:40:40] [SPEAKER_00]: mizaki

[01:40:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Well, everyone with the exception mizaki

[01:40:45] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh

[01:40:45] [SPEAKER_00]: In Encourage this terror with their widening eyes to a monster. They have no description of yet

[01:40:51] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, other than it's just a guy on his porch

[01:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm with you with that. I actually think that like the description that uh, kaelin sees

[01:41:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Should have been up up front like there where like like what you're you're suggesting and then

[01:41:06] [SPEAKER_02]: At the point where it's brought up like the the description we get in the actual story

[01:41:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That's when um, kaelin should also bring up like

[01:41:15] [SPEAKER_02]: We also like and here the the scar the creepiest thing is that's not what my sister and my brother saw

[01:41:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's that's when you you bring that stuff up is later on after they after the chase in somatic because

[01:41:26] [SPEAKER_02]: That point yet we have an establishing of what kaelin saw and is running from

[01:41:31] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's finally and that actually again invokes like

[01:41:34] [SPEAKER_02]: The characters that she's told she's telling the story to like that's why they're gripped in fear because they're seeing this horrible thing

[01:41:40] [SPEAKER_02]: That she saw

[01:41:41] [SPEAKER_02]: In their heads

[01:41:42] [SPEAKER_02]: But then later on reveal that the creature took on different forms depending on who it was

[01:41:48] [SPEAKER_02]: So

[01:41:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah

[01:41:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I I agree like that that is something like it like we really didn't get a

[01:41:59] [SPEAKER_02]: A like it's just a thing and then they just are running because it was scary. But then we'll get that description

[01:42:05] [SPEAKER_02]: later

[01:42:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[01:42:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but but the thing is like as you said that

[01:42:13] [SPEAKER_00]: Kaelin telling the story

[01:42:15] [SPEAKER_00]: So and these sisters are interested and they're bringing up questions

[01:42:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Why didn't they bring up the question?

[01:42:25] [SPEAKER_00]: Right when it was about them running like well, why are you running? What did you see like?

[01:42:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and then that's yeah. Yeah, that's the natural progression of a conversation

[01:42:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[01:42:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I do think this I do think the story does well with like just like establishing

[01:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: a natural a natural reading or natural sounding conversation

[01:42:48] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, you're right. There definitely should be

[01:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's that's the point where like the character said, well, would you see why'd you run?

[01:42:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And then that that's when we get the description for the creature

[01:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah from Kaelin's point of view anyway because that's who's talking. Yeah

[01:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So

[01:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So

[01:43:07] [SPEAKER_01]: That is

[01:43:09] [SPEAKER_01]: The end of my actual thoughts. All right

[01:43:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Gamer

[01:43:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, see what I can have here. What do you have left?

[01:43:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, this is um

[01:43:23] [SPEAKER_03]: obviously around the start where livi is looking for

[01:43:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, her sisters and all that

[01:43:29] [SPEAKER_03]: for hide-and-seek purposes

[01:43:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And she says hey, she showed her shaky voice. Sorry

[01:43:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, she showed it her voice shaky and horse will

[01:43:39] Will

[01:43:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Very mr. Ed sounding for the rest of the story is the way that I viewed her voice

[01:43:46] [SPEAKER_02]: nice

[01:43:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Because it's a little horse, you know

[01:43:50] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah

[01:43:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Apparently, uh, she's uh, also, uh

[01:43:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But whereas her her sisters were uh chick charnes. She's apparently also got some uh some centaur or uh,

[01:44:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Or uh, perhaps pegasus in her as well

[01:44:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean it sort of says that she's a uh, what is it chick jarni hybrid?

[01:44:10] [SPEAKER_03]: No, it's straight up like after they get her back from the uh

[01:44:16] [SPEAKER_03]: The the closet

[01:44:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh one says and no way in hell are you coming back again in a stolen body of an innocent

[01:44:26] [SPEAKER_03]: yokai kid. Oh

[01:44:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Um in a stolen body also yokai is actually a generalized term for

[01:44:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Japanese monsters. Yes, sorry. I read that as um

[01:44:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Coming back, um to steal a body of an innocent yokai kid. Yeah, that's what I thought

[01:44:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I read the first time I read that wrong never mind yokai is is a term a general term for like monsters or for like

[01:44:50] [SPEAKER_02]: For like magical creatures and stuff like that. Yes, but we're in a world

[01:44:54] [SPEAKER_03]: We're in a world where there's elves and all these other creatures

[01:44:58] [SPEAKER_03]: And just because someone's a yokai doesn't mean they're necessarily bad

[01:45:02] [SPEAKER_02]: No, no, I'm not but like that's also it's just a term for surprise

[01:45:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like bossin like bossin is just the Scandinavian version of like of yokai

[01:45:09] [SPEAKER_02]: So like okay magical creatures and like fey and creatures of that

[01:45:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, actually I just as a quick to that side the yokai kid is what a hell of a shadow run character like alias

[01:45:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Like for sure like for like one of the for like an oni

[01:45:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, oh like an oni orc phenotype. It's just like

[01:45:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Ah, he's the he's the yokai kid

[01:45:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It is actually pretty sick

[01:45:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he's got like the western like theme going on with a gunslinger. That's pretty sick actually

[01:45:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah

[01:45:41] [SPEAKER_02]: He's got like two or he's got two revolvers on a katana

[01:45:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep deployable revolvers that come out of his forearms. Yeah

[01:45:53] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, anyway moving on

[01:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So Olivia is looking for sisters and all that and saying like, um

[01:46:01] [SPEAKER_03]: When I find you you owe me a big cheesy pizza

[01:46:03] [SPEAKER_03]: There's some strawberries cream sprinkles a cherry on top and you know, don't forget a video rental

[01:46:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Either Pixar or Miyazaki

[01:46:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Or even the marsh brothers and no adam sandler or jim carrey were the three stuges. I hate those guys

[01:46:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And with one single line of dialogue my hatred for Olivia has begun

[01:46:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay adam sandler. I I get it

[01:46:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Tater miss but like who hates jim carrey. He's a national treasure

[01:46:27] [SPEAKER_03]: A Canadian national treasure

[01:46:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, and the the stuges they're like actual comedic legends

[01:46:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean like marsh brothers are fun, but like I definitely was watching um reruns of the three stuges more than the marsh brothers growing up

[01:46:41] [SPEAKER_03]: for sure

[01:46:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm like, okay. She is only like seven year olds of the seven years old at this point

[01:46:46] [SPEAKER_03]: So like maybe she hasn't developed taste for high art yet

[01:46:50] [SPEAKER_03]: But she's on ice

[01:46:52] [SPEAKER_02]: In ice sir

[01:46:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but i'll move on

[01:46:56] [SPEAKER_02]: fair

[01:46:57] [SPEAKER_03]: With a half of annoyance she stepped determinately

[01:47:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Across the threshold with a sweet heavy scent of lomi earth and blossoms

[01:47:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Soon filling her nostrils and coated the back of her throat choking her as she collapsed the floor

[01:47:10] [SPEAKER_03]: credits

[01:47:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly. It's like it was it's metaphorical

[01:47:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, if you take a figure of these she's just like choking on the scent

[01:47:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm like she's me like like earth is just being stuffed out her throat

[01:47:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[01:47:23] [SPEAKER_03]: And then uh

[01:47:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Right after this a second stretch in a minutes with

[01:47:27] [SPEAKER_03]: With only the ever-increasing rain and thunder blah blah blah blah

[01:47:32] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:47:33] [SPEAKER_03]: So again like I brought this up before but like literal minutes here this time it has to be literal minutes

[01:47:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Because like the mention of seconds stretching into minutes

[01:47:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I kind of get this one. Sorry you go. Yeah, go ahead

[01:47:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, I was like I kind of get with this one because like

[01:47:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Um again the way I saw it was the stat like the like the camera or whatever is like in the room waiting for her

[01:47:55] [SPEAKER_02]: To come back out of the closet and she never does so it's just kind of sitting there waiting for her and just like this silent

[01:48:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like the and the only like thing that's breaking up the silence is the lightning and uh, whereas the thunder and rain outside

[01:48:05] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[01:48:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, the problem is like my camera was sticking with her not staying in the room

[01:48:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So second stretching into minutes at first. I thought that was her just standing there trying to figure out what's going on

[01:48:17] [SPEAKER_03]: But realistically it's probably her walking trying to see

[01:48:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Where her sisters are like in that other world?

[01:48:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but we'll move on to the other story bit

[01:48:28] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:48:29] [SPEAKER_03]: The one found by uh, Miyazaki in the squirrel's nest

[01:48:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, the whole story about like al-gresa and all that making the book

[01:48:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So my question to that entire

[01:48:41] [SPEAKER_03]: entry

[01:48:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Is why didn't she destroy the book once she watched the guy like gib from it?

[01:48:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Like maybe she wasn't stalking him for months while she waited him for him to die by it

[01:48:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure, but even still once it happened and people realized that the book has dangerous spells in it and the book itself is dangerous to the user

[01:49:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Why not destroy the book?

[01:49:03] [SPEAKER_03]: From the sounds of the world magic is normal

[01:49:05] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's no reason to want to preserve this book unless someone is keeping it specifically

[01:49:10] [SPEAKER_03]: To give it to wizards that they don't like as an assassination tool

[01:49:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that's either that or maybe it can't be destroyed

[01:49:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Give us not mentioned. Maybe just we don't know that though

[01:49:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's just kind of like read between lines or like it's just the story didn't mention it because it was a clipping

[01:49:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It was also like an excerpt from like a

[01:49:27] [SPEAKER_02]: A piece of a couple of like a piece of paper or something that she found in a squirrel's nest

[01:49:32] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[01:49:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe they didn't get to that part

[01:49:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the most credible source though. Yeah squirrels know their shit

[01:49:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, man

[01:49:39] [SPEAKER_02]: They come at full force and like like they're demon there are demon squirrels out there. So yeah

[01:49:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I've seen the game that came out recently squirrel with a gun like they're they're serious business

[01:49:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, exactly. Yeah

[01:49:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'll move on

[01:49:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So the end of story one happens of the one that I just mentioned

[01:49:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Um with the book and all that and it says yellowed pages of the of newsprint rustled dryly as more pages were turned

[01:50:04] [SPEAKER_03]: So like for the visual of all this happening

[01:50:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Olivia stepped into the threshold

[01:50:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And then like originally I saw her waiting like in the threshold for a couple of minutes

[01:50:13] [SPEAKER_03]: As like the wind was like blowing through the room

[01:50:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Turning pages and so like and when it stopped on a page she went walked back into the room read the page

[01:50:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Because like I was kind of viewing it like yeah, I'm getting the information because she's getting the information

[01:50:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I um, yeah

[01:50:31] [SPEAKER_03]: And then like as soon as she finished another gust came up and picked the next story with her

[01:50:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And like I would be fine if that's the case because of how magical this like world is but like no, that's not what happened

[01:50:40] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's very much like um

[01:50:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, like if this was a movie scene

[01:50:44] [SPEAKER_02]: She would go through the the the closet and like you just have again, we're still the camera's still statically in the

[01:50:50] [SPEAKER_02]: In the apartment in there in the room

[01:50:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And then like the wind would like start brushing up all against the pages

[01:50:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Then like the camera would like zoom over to like the the one page

[01:50:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Allow for the reading of the or allow for the reading of the story

[01:51:02] [SPEAKER_02]: And then like another like gust would like brush that away once you were done

[01:51:06] [SPEAKER_02]: And read the the next page or next other stuff so yeah

[01:51:10] [SPEAKER_03]: But it just kind of feels strange because like the this entire story is told very first person through multiple first persons

[01:51:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Except for the beginning though because like like the the overarching

[01:51:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Um narrator is not a character. It's just an omnipresent

[01:51:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh person

[01:51:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess he just says so little I forgot he was there

[01:51:29] Yeah

[01:51:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, yeah, I like it definitely it is kind of out of place because it is very cinematic

[01:51:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Like again, like how i'm describing it as like being like a scene from a movie or like a video game

[01:51:39] [SPEAKER_02]: but

[01:51:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it feels but it kind of feels a little out of place after all the other like stories we're getting it's like

[01:51:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It's one part like third person

[01:51:47] [SPEAKER_02]: narrative

[01:51:48] [SPEAKER_02]: mixed with a bunch of a

[01:51:51] [SPEAKER_02]: postillary

[01:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: um narrative which is like the the whole thing of like story epistolary

[01:51:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Epistolary epistolary. I think it's still a term which is like basically like uh the story is told through like

[01:52:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Other stories or clippings of stories and articles and stuff. Yeah

[01:52:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm, so yeah

[01:52:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And yeah, as we said before line breaks on the scene changes would be very nice

[01:52:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Line breaks would be your friend in the story

[01:52:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[01:52:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Also that whole story of um the evil book and all that it's titled as story bit

[01:52:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Found by so-and-so

[01:52:27] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a fully formed story with no loose ends. I wouldn't call it a bit of a story. It's story

[01:52:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, maybe like story on a bit of paper found in squirrel nest. Oh, it's that kind of bit. Yeah

[01:52:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm kind of guesstimating on that one so because yeah when I hear story bit

[01:52:44] [SPEAKER_03]: It sounds like okay. I'm going to read part of a story and then I read a full

[01:52:48] [SPEAKER_04]: three-act story. Yeah exactly. It's like, okay

[01:52:52] [SPEAKER_03]: weird

[01:52:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, I'll move on from there to the the next

[01:52:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh story that's being told

[01:52:58] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[01:52:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Talks about all the different new places which is all nice knew this knew that

[01:53:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And then it says like a mixed crew of gerdan humans and elves

[01:53:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Do we know what gerdans are my googles? They do nothing

[01:53:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We do because we because gerdan's were mentioned in shadow fog and fire light the second

[01:53:16] [SPEAKER_02]: The second kirtisville story that we covered. I think what are gerdan's gerdan's gerdan's are like basically like

[01:53:23] [SPEAKER_02]: a fey human mix

[01:53:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I believe

[01:53:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I should have looked this up. You sounded so sure

[01:53:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm gonna lay it all down

[01:53:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I know they're creatures of fey. I think they're I think they're fey human hybrid. Let me double check

[01:53:37] [SPEAKER_02]: shadow fog fire light

[01:53:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Literally like scouring the wiki right now for that image or for that

[01:53:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is this is from shadow fog and firelight which is a uh previous kirtisville story

[01:53:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, she was a gerdan an outworlder

[01:53:52] [SPEAKER_02]: of about mega's age which was

[01:53:56] [SPEAKER_02]: 16

[01:53:57] [SPEAKER_02]: She wore the orange and gold robes of the orla of an orlim of an oram pilgrim

[01:54:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Slash tourists celebrating the summer solstice

[01:54:06] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:54:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, oh here. Yeah, here's another like right before that

[01:54:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, her name was kes. She was a delicate brown skinned girl with fluffy white hair and gold catlike eyes

[01:54:21] [SPEAKER_02]: She was a gerdan. So they're like

[01:54:23] [SPEAKER_02]: some kind of magical or like some kind of like otherworldly

[01:54:28] [SPEAKER_02]: uh creature or like or like person or being that has like tan skin or tanda brown skinned

[01:54:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Like white fluffy hair and golden cat eyes. So like kind of like they're kind of like catty people

[01:54:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, yeah

[01:54:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Or cat like feline people so yeah

[01:54:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But they are some kind of otherworldly entity

[01:54:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Um or that that pops up on in human uh pops up on earth apparently so

[01:54:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Gotcha

[01:54:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We got there

[01:54:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Waited

[01:55:01] [SPEAKER_03]: So i'll move on to um Olivia talking about

[01:55:05] [SPEAKER_03]: like how um ellie was being a bitch to her and all that and the the

[01:55:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Result of her poor

[01:55:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Birthday party goings on

[01:55:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, ellie kept calling me stinking mcdudu head and kept telling me to stand downwind

[01:55:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Although she didn't do it out loud because she was afraid of my sisters and some of the other kids ganging up on her

[01:55:28] [SPEAKER_03]: And then um, katelyn says yeah, well i'm surprised. She's still going to school katelyn muttered. She

[01:55:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Sipped her drink whiskey

[01:55:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah

[01:55:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Like it's like a really serious conversation even though he was talking about like stinking mcdudu head right before that

[01:55:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's what that's what i brought up earlier where it's like like you got to remember these kids are like six or seven

[01:55:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And then like the the baby's there's like a few a few years younger or a few years older

[01:55:54] [SPEAKER_02]: But like the way they're acting. It's very like adult

[01:55:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's serious

[01:55:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Like it's like uh was it uh, it's like what happened at your party and then or is that really what happened at your party?

[01:56:03] [SPEAKER_02]: and then like um, um, uh, Olivia like solemnly took a sip from her for hot chocolate. Yep

[01:56:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I was there

[01:56:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She called me a stinky dudu head

[01:56:15] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's all done like with really like dramatic angles and lighting. Yeah, exactly or yeah exactly

[01:56:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just like I love like I do love it because it's just this funny little objective position. That's very

[01:56:25] [SPEAKER_02]: very like

[01:56:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh 80s and 90s or very 80s like kid adventure story where like the kids take things so serious

[01:56:33] [SPEAKER_02]: When you're really when you're dealing with something supernatural or something you're like silly

[01:56:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah

[01:56:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah

[01:56:39] [SPEAKER_03]: for sure

[01:56:44] [SPEAKER_03]: And then my next one is basically just an overarching

[01:56:48] [SPEAKER_03]: note on having two stories running simultaneously about two spoiled brats was a bit confusing

[01:56:55] [SPEAKER_03]: um, especially when like they were going back and forth talking about lucille and ellie like

[01:57:00] [SPEAKER_03]: They were at one point. They were interchangeably like the same person because they're very similar

[01:57:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Which there's a point to that but yeah, yes for sure

[01:57:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And that turned out nicely

[01:57:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but yeah, it was a little confusing reading through I had to like

[01:57:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Make sure it's like no no ellie is the the one that learned black magic not lucille, right? I think

[01:57:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Lucille actually learned black magic

[01:57:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But ellie but ellie's on the cusp of learning it too. So

[01:57:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because she's like she because it kind of hints that like

[01:57:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, like from mizaki and some and from their conversations like she found something like in the in a shed in the woods

[01:57:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Probably found the book that lucille found

[01:57:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah

[01:57:47] [SPEAKER_03]: And then my last one is also just sort of a overarching niceness that we sort of mentioned but like

[01:57:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It happens multiple times

[01:57:53] [SPEAKER_03]: But like I like the little moments of describing random actions like petting cats

[01:57:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Sipping a drink scratching their nose

[01:58:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It adds a lot to conversations

[01:58:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That makes the lines more interesting to read

[01:58:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Other than just like person one says this person two says that person one says this other thing, etc

[01:58:11] [SPEAKER_03]: etc

[01:58:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the the the

[01:58:15] [SPEAKER_02]: The conversational storytelling

[01:58:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Has this like has a lot of build up in like that you get like you're not just hearing them talking about stuff

[01:58:23] [SPEAKER_02]: It occasionally breaks up that conversation

[01:58:26] [SPEAKER_02]: With descriptions of what they're what they're doing while they're being told the story while they're telling the story

[01:58:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's like the dialogue very visual even in a written medium, which is kind of nice. Yeah

[01:58:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's about all I got for an ounce

[01:58:43] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, uh, so moving on to final thoughts

[01:58:47] [SPEAKER_02]: So

[01:58:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I am

[01:58:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm starting to climb back up that cliff

[01:58:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, from partial from partial recommendation to a full recommendation

[01:58:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's still teetering like to like to possibly a partial recommendation

[01:59:00] [SPEAKER_02]: But because it's a fairly long read and it's kind of deceptively long

[01:59:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Like we get both of both of both me and gamer had apparently had a the similar experience where we're like

[01:59:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, this has got to be over soon, right?

[01:59:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Right

[01:59:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And then like it's like halfway through it's like oh wow, okay

[01:59:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And like that I'm not saying that in a bad way because it was just like it kept throwing me off

[01:59:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like I thought we're I was getting close to the end and then I'd like check the page count

[01:59:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I was like, oh, I'm still like there. Okay

[01:59:27] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:59:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's it's basically two stories combined with some extra bits added on some extra journal some actual

[01:59:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Some extra entries added on

[01:59:35] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[01:59:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's a bit long winded and it winds a bit in chunks

[01:59:41] [SPEAKER_02]: that said

[01:59:42] [SPEAKER_02]: um, it is a fully to me anyway, it is a fully realized like

[01:59:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh narrative start to finish

[01:59:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I don't feel lost or like there's another story. I need to read to get context for the one that we I just read

[01:59:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah

[02:00:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Like this is a completed story

[02:00:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And like the yes, it has a two or three stories. I kind of like smashed together, but they all

[02:00:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Intertwined and linked together so that like they there was a reason for those two stories to exist

[02:00:13] [SPEAKER_02]: In the same story

[02:00:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, um the conversational narrative again is a bit winding and requires some focus

[02:00:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But I enjoyed the back and forth and the descriptive bits between the like we just reference

[02:00:27] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[02:00:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And and the characters

[02:00:31] [SPEAKER_02]: were all pretty well fleshed out like

[02:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: At least I felt like like without without giving full descriptions of them like I

[02:00:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I got a sense of like who Mizaki Izumi Kyoto

[02:00:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Olivia Kaelin were and then and then even like lucille

[02:00:46] [SPEAKER_02]: and judith and

[02:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and and ellie kind of like that all the characters are pretty well fleshed out through their description

[02:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And even through their words like through their conversations, you know what was a nice, um

[02:01:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Primer to um introduce the different characters at least the sisters is when um, Olivia was

[02:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh playing hide and seek

[02:01:08] [SPEAKER_03]: She went to uh like Izumi's uh

[02:01:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Like bed and it was covered in like fashion and trendy stuff

[02:01:16] [SPEAKER_03]: She went to Kyoto's bed and there was like horror and sci-fi books underneath went to Miyazaki's

[02:01:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Mizaki sorry

[02:01:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And there was like science magazines and beanie babies and shit all over it. So like

[02:01:29] [SPEAKER_03]: That was like a good primer to each character to like get to know them a little bit before you even

[02:01:35] [SPEAKER_03]: See them

[02:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're absolutely right. Yeah, we didn't I think we didn't bring in that up. But yeah, like during the

[02:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: The introductory it's in an introductory bit and we get a sense of their personalities

[02:01:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Like through their how their bedrooms look which is a great bit of narrative

[02:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Describing or description. Yeah, the type of nerd each one is. Yeah, exactly

[02:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: um, yeah the uh

[02:01:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And as always I love the urban fantasy element and the childhood horror elements here

[02:02:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, like this felt very much like a kids on bikes or little fears sort of adventure

[02:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Mixed in with that magical realism vibe that the Curtisville story setting seems to have

[02:02:17] [SPEAKER_02]: of like

[02:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Different like magical creatures and magical things existing and just being part of the mundane world and that's like they're not really the

[02:02:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh spooky horror thing. They're they're just

[02:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: People and things in the setting and it's just the like it's just bad people or bad magics that are the horror element

[02:02:36] [SPEAKER_02]: But like there's also good magic things and good magic people

[02:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: kind of thing

[02:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: so like it's very

[02:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Much in line with stuff. I I really enjoy in writing and in reading stories and such

[02:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[02:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: This also like I just like I brought it up

[02:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But like I feel like this could be great fodder for

[02:02:55] [SPEAKER_02]: a kids on bikes or a little fears

[02:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Adventure even monster and other childish things

[02:03:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, if you're if you're setting it in a in a game where like monsters are like a norm or like are like are kind of president

[02:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: like

[02:03:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Either monster kids or weird kids are like presented as a as a normal thing and then just have this like

[02:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Again treat as like magical realism

[02:03:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Where like it's the mundane. It's a slice of life mundane world or like

[02:03:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Kind of uh, like a gum like a kid gum shoe sort of adventure

[02:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But the kids have powers or they or they or they're dealing with things that

[02:03:29] [SPEAKER_02]: They're in a world where that kind of stuff isn't like scary because it's unknown

[02:03:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's scary because it is known

[02:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is an interesting take for like urban fantasy because most of the time

[02:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It is like this hidden world of this secret world that like people are falling into but in this case

[02:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's horror in a world where that stuff isn't hidden

[02:03:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And it is known to to various peoples and various groups

[02:03:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's still scary

[02:03:55] [SPEAKER_03]: In in in the case so we also don't we still don't know how much it's known

[02:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, exactly like for example the father didn't believe in magic

[02:04:06] [SPEAKER_01]: True so like he may be an elf

[02:04:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Again elf does not equal magic

[02:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: In this world in this dimension there are fantasy creatures, but there's no magic

[02:04:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Fantasy creatures are just different races

[02:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're right. Yeah, exactly like it could be that kind of situation where like

[02:04:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Just because you're an elf or just because you're uh, like whatever

[02:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Doesn't mean that you automatically know magic or are going to think that magic is real or

[02:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Believe that magic exists still kind of thing. Yeah

[02:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[02:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it feels much like so in this case it could be that criss-fills kind of like a eureka situation where like or like, um

[02:04:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to think of what other names for that kind of play the thing where it's like

[02:04:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a town or like a localized look like setting

[02:04:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We're like the strange. I guess like eerie indiana even in a way too

[02:04:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Where there's like people act funny or people have like strange traits or or even like

[02:05:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Weird in their own way, but they all treat it as mundane or they and they even sometimes deny

[02:05:07] [SPEAKER_02]: That supernatural shit is happening even though they are clearly something supernatural themselves or something other worldly themselves

[02:05:15] [SPEAKER_02]: but uh, yeah, I guess all this to say like again

[02:05:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I I would I will recommend this though. It does kind of teeter on

[02:05:24] [SPEAKER_02]: partial recommendation mostly because of like I feel like the four like the formatting could be improved

[02:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: um for like clarity and stuff of that because it is a little

[02:05:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a little hard to navigate these woods

[02:05:39] [SPEAKER_02]: As

[02:05:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm walking through the yeah as I'm walking through the ways of the in the woods. So

[02:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: um

[02:05:45] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, otherwise I I really did enjoy this this read so

[02:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I will recommend

[02:05:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Mikey these stands for evil

[02:05:56] [SPEAKER_00]: As stated before the

[02:05:59] [SPEAKER_00]: This needs more transitions or something to tell you that the scene is changing

[02:06:05] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, um

[02:06:07] [SPEAKER_00]: because I found myself

[02:06:10] [SPEAKER_00]: Like

[02:06:13] [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm sure we all did reading a paragraph and then the next one had nothing to do with the previous one

[02:06:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes

[02:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: um

[02:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: which

[02:06:27] [SPEAKER_00]: It to me it took me out of the story

[02:06:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Because it added a layer of confusion to what was going on

[02:06:36] [SPEAKER_00]: And then you figure it out when you finally realize oh

[02:06:40] [SPEAKER_00]: Couple paragraphs later. Oh, well, they're back to

[02:06:44] [SPEAKER_00]: talking in the section when it's not

[02:06:48] [SPEAKER_00]: Uh

[02:06:49] [SPEAKER_00]: The story anymore that's being told whatever and just like that

[02:06:56] [SPEAKER_00]: and it's

[02:06:58] [SPEAKER_00]: Pointed out it's a story within a story within a story just yeah

[02:07:03] [SPEAKER_03]: When you got through the story

[02:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Was it worth it?

[02:07:06] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[02:07:10] [SPEAKER_00]: For me

[02:07:12] [SPEAKER_00]: No

[02:07:14] [SPEAKER_00]: It it really wasn't

[02:07:16] [SPEAKER_00]: Like that's fair enough like it took so long

[02:07:21] [SPEAKER_00]: To get to the zinger of oh well

[02:07:24] [SPEAKER_00]: This person has the same last name as this other person. Whoo

[02:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Not related but

[02:07:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah

[02:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Except they probably are as it is in the story, but yeah

[02:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it's like

[02:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh

[02:07:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It just yeah, I get what you're saying. Um actually recently I watch I've been watching uh the show defiance

[02:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh and I've noticed it's sort of got a similar thing that this story does where it's bouncing between like three different like plot lines

[02:07:59] [SPEAKER_02]: The problem with this story though is that we're not getting the like you said it's not getting we're not getting the

[02:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: The transitionary bit to tell us oh, we're switching to a new to another

[02:08:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Character scene like another plot scene between because like it does kind of jump back and forth during that show like in various episodes

[02:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Between multiple plot lines

[02:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So I think the transition screen where it's like showing a different location, you know not just

[02:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Immediately jumping from one scene to another

[02:08:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like and in a script even in a screenplay and some of that it would show like

[02:08:35] [SPEAKER_02]: switch to switching scene

[02:08:38] [SPEAKER_02]: um new scene uh exterior or interior blah blah blah blah

[02:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: This story doesn't have that because it doesn't it doesn't even have the the uh horizontal lines which we

[02:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Had established would like probably improve that that kind of transition situation, but

[02:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah

[02:08:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so

[02:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: As it stands I'm not going to recommend it

[02:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: tough but fair

[02:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And uh gamer

[02:09:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, um

[02:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: well for me

[02:09:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Like as we all said like it's a long read

[02:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[02:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: And it kept feeling like it was ending over and over again. Um

[02:09:22] [SPEAKER_03]: But it dropped a lot of lore

[02:09:24] [SPEAKER_03]: and

[02:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It had a rightfully creepy premise to like what's going on there and um

[02:09:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And also like something's happening to the characters like now

[02:09:34] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not a story being told by someone of events in the past granted that did happen in this story

[02:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: But something also happened to these characters directly in this story

[02:09:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I appreciate more now because like there's been some stories that have been reading and like it's

[02:09:53] [SPEAKER_03]: A story that someone heard of some from someone else

[02:09:56] [SPEAKER_03]: That of a story that happened decades ago where like you're so far removed. It doesn't matter

[02:10:02] [SPEAKER_03]: but

[02:10:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Even in this even in the stories where it is decades removed

[02:10:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Those events are causing the problems that are happening now

[02:10:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we're getting so I appreciate all that. Yeah. Yeah

[02:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[02:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: So I liked all that

[02:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: As we said it is kind of like two or three stories all mashed together into one with no

[02:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: transitions

[02:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Which is a problem and I struggled through all that but by the time I got to the end as you said cultist

[02:10:30] [SPEAKER_03]: It is a fully fleshed out and realized story beginning and end with not really too many questions that are left unanswered

[02:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: because of how long it is

[02:10:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And I appreciate that

[02:10:43] [SPEAKER_03]: The conversations were all really well done a bit long-winded, but they're kids talking so it's going to be that way anyways

[02:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It's technically realistic

[02:10:51] [SPEAKER_03]: um

[02:10:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So I still enjoyed the read and like

[02:10:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Now I know

[02:10:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Shit about ellie lambart because like in summer break or whatever it was bringing up these characters that

[02:11:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it was bringing up characters that I didn't know who they were but it was it's like, oh, you know this you've read the

[02:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: previous one

[02:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if this was like again like we now we have context as to this is a prologue

[02:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: to 27 to the just uh, well, this is a prologue to summer break

[02:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's also I guess a technically a prologue to summer break 2017

[02:11:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Because now we have a little bit more context as to who ellie lambart is

[02:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: and why she was

[02:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Dead, well not well that she had some kind of power

[02:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, uh at the beginning of of summer break 2017

[02:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: you know

[02:11:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, actually I will say one thing not to cut. I don't mean to like step into your spot here

[02:11:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, what is a discussion podcast?

[02:11:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I will say the only thing that we don't have context to in this story that was laid out in another story that we'd have to read

[02:11:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Is what a girding is

[02:11:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Like even if it had said like

[02:11:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Like oh like the the schooner was crude by the catlike girdin

[02:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Humans and elves like maybe that would have helped a little bit but like just something very subtle

[02:12:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Like a couple of words just to describe it. So it's not

[02:12:11] [SPEAKER_03]: You have to know every single story for sure

[02:12:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but as you said that that is information from a previous story

[02:12:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Which we if if you read all these in order, it's probably completely fine

[02:12:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but like otherwise like this story does well and it makes sense that they wouldn't give it a description because it was a newspaper clipping from like the

[02:12:31] [SPEAKER_02]: 1800s or the 1900s so like it was it would they that again

[02:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like and it's being treated like the mundane like so like oh yeah, there was a crew of grid in

[02:12:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It'd be like the same thing is like dwarves humans and troll or dwarves humans and elves like

[02:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: We it's sort of like supposed to be an established. It's an established thing already in the world in the setting

[02:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So like as a reader wouldn't

[02:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: be getting a

[02:12:52] [SPEAKER_02]: a description for it because of that

[02:12:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Um characters themselves wouldn't even ask that because they know

[02:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, because they live in that world

[02:12:59] [SPEAKER_02]: But the part with the uh, how uh, I'm so excited

[02:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I was so excited when I finally got a like in world in character this explanation for what a hello

[02:13:08] [SPEAKER_02]: halau

[02:13:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Was because of how is it because when it was referenced in

[02:13:14] [SPEAKER_02]: One of the previous stories we had covered and we weren't exactly sure what it where it came from

[02:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: We're the where the term came from

[02:13:20] [SPEAKER_02]: so

[02:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, sorry going back to you

[02:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: So all in all I still

[02:13:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Recommend the story just be prepared for a long read

[02:13:30] [SPEAKER_03]: basically and um

[02:13:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Keep in mind it's multiple stories being told at once so

[02:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: You have to really stay on top of that

[02:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's like leaning on a partial because I personally think it does need

[02:13:43] [SPEAKER_03]: some

[02:13:44] [SPEAKER_03]: uh formatting work or possibly being split into two stories

[02:13:48] [SPEAKER_03]: It would let it breathe a bit more

[02:13:51] [SPEAKER_03]: But all in all the story being told I like and uh

[02:13:55] [SPEAKER_03]: It was it was a fun read it wasn't

[02:13:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I was gonna say it wasn't especially creepy but like

[02:14:00] [SPEAKER_03]: When you're in the head of olivia as like that little girl

[02:14:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That's like scared sitting on the front porch with like a potential like creepy creature behind you

[02:14:08] [SPEAKER_03]: And you you're scared to look and stuff like that was all really well done. Yeah

[02:14:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Also at this point now just picture like you're leaning for you're leaning over the edge helping me up

[02:14:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Like as we're like teetering on the edge of this of like a full recommendation to like partial recommendation

[02:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Pretty much

[02:14:24] [SPEAKER_03]: You're like pulling me a little bit into the partial. It's like no you have to get up here

[02:14:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, meanwhile mickey's like all the way down the cliff like just like arms crossed like no

[02:14:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes

[02:14:39] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'll still recommend the story, but I feel like it does need to be split

[02:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's room for improvement. I think

[02:14:47] [SPEAKER_03]: We can't be all we they can't all be who is phone god. No, that's like it's a god tier

[02:14:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, for sure

[02:14:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I think that'll that'll do it so

[02:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: to

[02:15:00] [SPEAKER_02]: teetering recommendations

[02:15:02] [SPEAKER_02]: All recommendations teetering on partial recommendations and one non recommendation

[02:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: um room for improvement

[02:15:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Um

[02:15:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But that'll do it for this week's episode
