A loose one, but a Dungeons & Dragons podcast.
Regardless, this is a story of four teens from our world who all got married,
summoned an eldritch god, maybe got married to the eldritch god.
Anyway, we're trying to fix all the problems that our grandparents started.
No, we definitely did not get married to the doodler.
They were not involved in that.
Dot, dot, dot.
Yes.
My name is Freddie Wong.
I play Taylor Swift. Hey swift hey now the tiefling
rogue okay oh so you did go rogue i did go rogue i'm just saying that that's like exactly what ron
was but if you're gonna go over there and call yourself an original that's fine i'm not calling
myself an original taylor was influenced by the presence of one r Stampler and I think picked up on his stealthy energies.
And you'll note in these last couple episodes,
I've been carefully seeding the...
No, yes.
Two seconds ago, you said you were going to be a barbarian.
Because that would have been funny.
What are you excited about most for Taylor's class switch to Rogue?
I think Taylor has discovered over the course of the adventure
his love of hiding as things.
Expect some more stealthy stuff, you know, less samurai, more ninja.
Watch this space under construction.
Wow.
Taylor coming at you.
Also, I have min maxed my character sheet to some truly goofy numbers here.
So I can't wait to see everyone's responses to my great roles.
numbers here so i can't wait to see everyone's responses to my great roles it is so like on brand for a teen to like not like class and switch classes here's my favorite here's my favorite
other sort of like move that he has i now have a move called insightful manipulator if you spend
at least one minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat. You can learn whether it is your equal,
superior, or inferior
in A2 of its int, whiz, charisma
scores or class levels. So you have the
scouter from fucking Dragon Ball Z?
Is that what you're saying? You can tell what level people are?
Taylor has an innate sense of who he will be
able to beat in a debate.
Taylor is also joining
the debate class as a Reddit atheist.
Taylor's going down the rabbit hole. Hey guys, have you heard about this
Hey guys, check out this funny lay me rage comic I found
I've just been watching a lot of
YouTube videos while doing my own research

Delightful.
Quick fact about Lincoln back in his homeschool days,
his favorite time of the year is that in order to kind of give a little bit
of normal normalcy.
Yeah.
Did you say my name?
What's up?
Yes.
What's up?
You said you called me.
Oh yeah.
What are we doing with the intro credits, Lee?
Hey, what's up?
I don't know.
I was just talking about how my dads would, even though I was homeschooled, one of my
favorite days is they would do parent-teacher conferences, which were great because it was
just Marco and Grant having dinner together while I could go do whatever I wanted.
Wow.
I heard you say my name, though.
Oh.
What a thrill.
All right, I'm going to go.
Yeah, we're a sister dynamic duo, you and I.
Regular Laurel and Hardy over here.
Everyone, it's Will Campos.
No!
Oh, the piano's off!
Far right.
Hey, everybody, it's Will Campos, the blues man,
back with a new chord I learned.
This one is a G7. Here's a new chord I learned. This one is a...
It's A.
G7.
Here's a new chord.
A.
That's not A, dude.
That's fucking G major 7.
I was making a fucking...
You nerd.
What do you call when you drop a...
You can't tell a G major 7 chord, Freddie?
What do you get when you drop a piano down a...
A flat minor.
We get it.
We know that one.
We know that joke already.
Go fuck yourself.
We're just warming up, baby.
We're just warming up.
I'm Will Campos.
I play Normal Oak.
He's a perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky, perky,
school spirit mascot kid.
Fun fact about Normal this week, I thought I'd give a Normal's mustache update.
Oh, wow.
It's been a while.
It's been so long since we checked in on Normal's mustache.
And fun fact, Normal has been feeding that thing.
That's right.
Essential oils.
Oh.
Essential oils for hair growth
like lavender and peppermint,
a little bit of lemongrass on there
and it's doubled in strand count
from eight to 16.
Ooh.
God.
Okay.
And it's dinky too now.
It's slightly longer
and it smells like lavender.
Okay.
That's Normal's mustache, everybody.
You got a pair
of tiny little scissors to trim it he's going for like a hercule poirot thing right now is the plan
working towards it yeah working towards so for the little grass cells are like the two like farthest
most little strands of the 16 are those just getting grown out um to get that little not on
purpose but they have gotten curlier because of all of the weird stuff he's putting on them.
Oh, God.
I hate normal.
Hi, my name's Beth May.
Hi, Beth. Hi, could I get a
chord, too? Oh, yeah, sure.
Beth gets a...
Ooh, Beth gets a...
Like a little G major 7.
Or a C major 7. Okay, that's fine.
A little bit of dissonance, but there's something
poignant about it.
Did you guys hear about this?
I've heard there was
a secret chord who...
David played it.
Please, please the Lord.
My name's Beth Maynard.
I play Scary Marlin.
Gothmung Seeker of Darkness.
Don't use a scary voice.
Scary is scary.
Okay, okay.
Gothmung Seeker of Darkness.
He's a warlock.
Doesn't want to care anymore.
Also a survivor of the Titanic.
Wouldn't you know?
Just found out that she's actually supposed to be level 12.
Oh, that's right.
Hi, Anthony.
You hear this?
You hear this, Anthony?
And I forget why.
A fan told us, because one of your levels you got was from winning in the Among Us episode.
It had nothing to do with Willie.
Yes.
So you wouldn't have lost that level.
Yes.
So that's good.
So she's back.
And I wish I could remember who told me that so that I could credit them.
But I am just going to run away with the credit myself because I'm a bad person.
Fun fact about Scary this week.
Scary doesn't run errands.
She walks them.
She's got time.
Bitch.
Love it.
Dang, dude.
Really capturing that teenage energy
in a way that we have not been able to.
I'm Anthony Burch.
I'm your dad.
Hey, dad.
Daddy's sick.
Still got COVID.
Dude, it's going to be wild
because people listening to this
are going to be like,
wow, it's been COVID for two weeks.
It hasn't been. So my dad fact
is I don't like to get too honest on here,
but this is something
I honestly, with my whole heart,
I believe this to be true.
And I know it's not popular,
and it's going to lose us a couple fans, but I'm just going
to say it because I want to share my truth, and that
is I know that
I can fix Lauren Boebert. I know that I can fix Lauren Boebert.
I know that I can do it.
With 100%
certainty, I can fix that woman.
And I know that to be true. Sick, twisted take.
She was giving an over-the-pants handjob
in a Beetlejuice musical.
The woman is made for me. I know
that
two dates in, I could get her to be
a trans rights advocate. I'd get her to put away the guns and pick up flowers. I know I could do it. I just in I could get her to be fucking a trans rights advocate
I'd get her to put away
the guns and pick up flowers
I know I could do it
I just know I could
and I'll never get the chance to
not with that attitude
I'm putting it out
of the universe
I'm fucking desecrating it
there are plenty
there are plenty of
wonderful
musicals in LA
that I could take her to
and get a pants handjob in
yeah pantages
won't kick you out
for that
no pantages it is like mandatory.
It's in the name.
It's in the name.
Pantages.
Yo, did you get a Pantages at the Pantages last night?
You know what I'm saying, bro?
You got a pants for the ages, bro.
When we last left the group, you had managed to escape the memory of Grant and Marco's wedding day. The memory was of Scam Likely either intentionally or not intentionally getting Marco and Grant onto the Titanic to teach them a little bit something about love.
In the process of doing so, they found a young child who they raised, who is Lincoln.
As the Titanic went down, Grant vowed that he would take the chance and choose life and
be with Marco despite all of his fears about being a husband and that he would make sure
that his son, this new child that's entered their life, would never, ever, ever have to
be exposed to the kinds of horrors that he has been exposed to.
And then literally, by the way, he was exposed to not only horrors in general but like literally the actual horrors
of the titanic yes like how badly did grant fuck up
he somehow went all the way back to the beginning and fucked up the thing that he couldn't have
fucked up because of your age yeah but in that moment you were all ejected from the memory
a bunch of colored liquid seeps from the eyes of Daryl into the jar,
and you get a little bit more daddy magic in your daddy magic collection jar.
You also come back to see that a cadre of angels is staring over you, glaring angrily at you.
Uh-oh.
How can we tell, though?
Because do they have-
They have one eye, and the eye is narrowed.
Hey, hey.
Hey there, guys.
Come on.
We agree.
You're not supposed to just walk in. didn't even knock yeah we could have been
doing our spaghetti pleasure yeah it's like when the rules in heaven is like whatever happens in
the rooms whatever happens in heaven stays in heaven the eyelashes begin to unfurl and daryl
would know that the eyelashes are often how they like a venus fly trap how they kind of capture
things and move them from place to place so daryl what are they reaching towards they're reaching towards all the kids
hey get back i grab one of the big strands of spaghetti in my spaghetti pool and start waving
around like a whip like indiana jones like ah not in my house misters get out of here you whip it
too hard and you get a scar on your chin that explains where your scar in the later movies is the scar i got
so the angels they don't speak obviously but one of them comes over you daryl and
basically absorbs you into its pupil and closes its eye this is the way i go
oh no i love you son love you grandson don worry. This place will be put together by the time you...
It sort of raises itself up and throws itself back
as if it's like swallowing a pill and vibrates a little bit.
What?
Oh, my God.
You just swallowed Daryl?
Oh, no.
Well, thank God I'm still here.
Another one does the exact same thing.
Oh, my God.
Oh, God.
What?
But where did they go? They're already dead. They're already in heaven. Oh, my God. Oh, God. What? But where did they go?
They're already dead.
They're already dead.
Oh, God.
I'm fading away.
But don't worry, because I have a feeling that I will return in your hour of need.
Oh, no.
I'm going to cast Locate Creature.
Describe a creature that is familiar to you.
You sense the direction of the creature's location as long as it is within 1 000 feet and i know the direction it's moving it if it is moving so i described
daryl i'm like i see he's like this nice kind of older burly-ish gentleman he sort of looks like
grant but you know like sort of like a kind of more real daddy yeah i guess he's got daddy energy
okay grand daddy energy he's a daddy beth okay thank you beth he's a daddy he's got zaddy energy. Okay. Grand zaddy energy. He's a daddy.
Beth, okay, thank you, Beth.
He's a daddy.
He's not a zaddy.
I'm sorry, you just gotta be realistic here.
Who's saying that?
This is Link.
I'm just saying that I always heard he was a zaddy.
Okay, well, that's, yeah, okay.
Beth May in heaven is saying all this. Yes.
Okay, he's more of a daddy.
Okay, so with your locate creature spell,
do you have to roll for anything or it just happens?
I think it just happens.
Okay.
But the components are a bit of fur from a bloodhound you probably had a little bit of dander from rogue
yeah that's true yeah i use some of rogue's hair for the component of the spell for the only time
we've ever done a component on this show dang nice dude crunch love it yeah okay so the dander
goes up in flames in your hand and you can tell that both daryl and Ron are still in heaven, but they are in a far-off zone known as the time-out room.
Oh, no.
Oh, man.
Have you guys realized, like, heaven kind of sucks?
Yeah.
A lot of people down on Earth work really hard to get up here.
It's like not.
I got to say.
It's like heaven can wait, you know?
Yeah.
I had a better time in the other place, I thought.
I mean, the other place was sad for different reasons.
Yeah.
Do you think heaven has listening devices? Do you think they're spying on everyone? What a better time in the other place, I thought. I mean, the other place was sad for different reasons. Yeah.
Do you think Kevin has listening devices?
Do you think they're spying on everyone?
I mean, clearly those angels just showed up.
So the angels are still here.
They approach you all with their eyelashes outstretched,
and they are looking to encircle your bodies with them,
like scoop you up with their big old eyelashes.
So roll dexterity.
Taylor does a back handspring.
Five plus nine, 14.
Okay.
Oh, I got a 16.
I got a nine.
12.
Okay, so everybody except for Scary manages to escape the tendrils of the eyelashes that are coming at you. Too bad, leave her behind.
No!
Hermie goes, no, we can't.
My scene partner.
And he's going to run back and try to pull you through the eyelashes.
He's going to roll, and he is not strong enough to pull you through the eyelashes.
My future life partner.
And I chase after Hermie and grab him by the feet.
Okay.
I'm going to cast disguise self and make myself look like a big meatball.
What?
Okay.
Because we're in the spaghetti room.
Oh.
How do they know that they've got me and not just a big meatball?
Okay.
Interesting play.
Gary's got the right idea.
After they grabbed you.
After they grabbed you, though.
You're grabbed.
And the eye is literally looking at you as you do this because it's an eye.
Well, is the eye hungry?
Is the eye a hungry boy?
Here comes the airplane.
You can roll deception with disadvantage.
Okay.
I'll roll that.
I'll take that chance.
All right.
So that's 11 plus five.
Jesus.
Jesus.
All right.
So the eye panics and you feel its grip loosen on you.
The eyelashes open up and you fall back down onto the ground and immediately Grant with
tears still coating his eyes goes, run.
We have to run.
We got to get out of here.
And he kicks open the door out of Daryl's heaven and starts running.
And I go, and I got to throw down my smoke bombs, casting darkness.
So darkness spreads around us for a 15-foot radius sphere to hide and cover our escape.
I follow Grant out the door.
I run.
I use one with shadows.
What is going on?
Is that a demo thing?
I thought Beth did that.
I thought,
and like, yeah,
the way that you looked at me,
I was like,
what are you doing, bro?
Yeah, so I use one with shadows.
When you're in an area
of dim light or darkness,
you can use your action
to become invisible
until you move
or take an action
or a reaction.
Until you move.
Once you start running,
you'll...
Yeah, but it seemed cool
at the time.
Oh, so what you want to do
is we're going to all leave
and you're going to just be
inside the smoke bomb?
Yeah.
And then I'll just be with you.
Suddenly.
You'll just stay in the noodle room.
I'll bamf into existence
like Nightcrawler.
All right, so we're running
out of beer?
Yeah, you run out of
Daryl's heaven room.
All right, remind us
what's right outside
of this room again.
It's basically a labyrinth of doors,
a shitbuckload of doors
for every resident in heaven. Open all the doors as we pass them okay okay as we run we're
opening all the doors and we inside and then taylor's yelling like ah fire alarm fire alarm
everyone out everyone out fire alarm fire alarm tragically this would be a really opportune time
for a ranger to roll a nature roll so they could see their way back to the original lobby that they
came from oh no no taylor's left that life behind dog so really quick as we're running since where we were running
will matter the other grandparents are any of them in hell nixon hell and theoretically terry
jr might be in hell okay so should we just run back to the hell portal where i was being out of
like that would bring us to the next spot that we have to get that's true that's a good idea and we
should know where that is i want to fill up the hallway with a crowd so that
the angels can you know probably get confused by everyone running around okay roll deception
because you're saying there's a fire 11 2 plus 9 11 the people turn briefly away from their
noodle centric fantasies and see you running back so fire fire, fire, fire. And they go, and they just shut the doors behind
you and resume their moaning. Link screams.
He goes, the big dog's back.
God's back in the house, everybody. Come check out
God. All right.
Now you roll deception.
Musical guest, God.
And Chris
Kattan. You can't
have it a mango.
Ladies and gentlemen, God.
That's a five. So with a five,
one guy steps out, cover
it in olive oil, and then he goes,
again, shakes his head
and goes back inside his room. This is not the first time
he's been burned. He's been God-boozled.
At least we do know that God's not here,
though. I want to roll
Arcana to see if I can kind of sense what the angels are going to do with us if they capture us.
Because they may be just yeeting us into heaven.
No, we're going to go to the timeout room.
You already found out.
Are they going to send us to the timeout room?
I'm assuming so.
They're going to do the same.
We're not in heaven, right?
Just because cops put some guys in jail doesn't mean they're going to put you in jail.
Yeah, we're just visiting.
I got a nine.
With a nine, you can't tell what it is, but you know it's not going to be the timeout room
and it's not going to be good. Okay.
Oh, alright! This might not work,
but I cast
Unseen Servant. The spell
creates an invisible, which is boring.
I think it should look like a little
baby angel.
A mindless, shapeless, medium force that
performs simple tasks at your command.
So I'm going to be like, show us where the hell portal is. Okay. Don't we know where the hell mindless shapeless medium force that performs simple tasks at your command so i'm gonna be
like show us where the hell portal is okay don't we know where the hell portal is oh i thought we
didn't you know vaguely where it is but you probably got lost within the maze i'd be like
lead us to the hell portal okay okay there's nothing you have to roll for it just happens
looks like yeah it just happens okay your little angel buddy goes, no problem.
Follow me.
And starts zooming through the halls of heaven.
As we're running, and I'm going to try another thing for a distraction,
is I'm going to cast Divine Sense.
Because Lincoln's like, you know what?
There's always people that slip through the cracks.
And Divine Sense lets me detect good and evil. I want to see if there's anybody that shouldn't be in heaven.
So I can tattle on them.
Tattle on them? What?
Because the angels will go after them. Like, maybe there's a bad
guy in here. I'm like, hey, that guy's not
supposed to be here. I feel like tattling as
an act immediately drops you into hell.
They love tattling
in heaven, though. Wasn't the Bible's most
famous snitch
kind of vilified for that?
Who? Pontius Pilate? Judas, dude.
Judas, my man.
My man, Judas.
Wait, well, Judas wasn't a snitch per se.
Yeah, he was bad.
He just traded.
He was a betrayer.
He was a betrayer.
He was a businessman.
30 pieces of silver in that economy
could go a long way.
No, no, no, no.
They're right, Freddie.
What did he snitch?
Like, hey, that's Jesus.
Yeah.
They knew who Jesus was.
Did you think the last supper was Jesus? Be like, guys right don't tell anybody don't tell you but we we gotta fucking
move 10 kilos of this okay just don't tell the authorities this is my body let me see your body
you're wearing a wire oh my god like the last supper was like a table for like 13 but then
like more people like found out about it and they're like yeah i had a birthday
party this sweet 33 but you weren't invited and judas was like are you roman if you're roman you
have to tell me so as lincoln runs he just wants to see if you can see if there's any evil here
in heaven okay there's no role on detect good and evil no it's not roll by that doesn't mean
there is something evil maybe it's just so you can create a random chance of whether or not i
find something evil let me roll something on my end it just happens i can sense anything
within 60 feet and i can use this that's not that far yeah but we're running down the hallway so i'm
assuming like i'm sensing like a left and right are yeah so it's just like for like a minute long
like or whatever like do i sense anybody uh yeah you sense a couple of evil people within running
distance of you in this turn you you can see that
there is a door on the left and a door on the right that will certainly lead to somebody who
you would consider to be evil okay so already i'm gonna open up the door on the right to see
what the evil i sense in there so you open the door on the right and you see you see a podcaster
oh god oh at the setup and he's fucking eating spaghetti on mic.
Oh, God.
He's a men's rights activist.
There we go.
He doesn't believe that any people
that we think are cool
should be allowed to, like, vote.
He's a really, really bad person.
His podcast is about spaghetti.
What?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The podcast, listen,
you gotta separate the art and the artist.
His podcast is a great spaghetti podcast,
but he's got spaghetti.
He cannot keep his opinions out of it.
Kind of like
when you're listening to a dungeons of dragons podcast the guys won't stop talking about how
leftist they are did you know that spaghetti came from ancient rome do you know what else came from
ancient rome masculinity that's right the olive garden this is what they took from you when you're
there you are not family family with like a fucking v in it but he was hit by a car and was marked as
an organ donor and every single one of his organs went to somebody that saved a life.
So he technically.
And also those people were all great people.
Yeah, those people were all great.
Shit.
The cruel irony of his life is that every every minority that he did not like, he saved one of their lives by the fact that he got each one of them invented.
That's so complex.
For a different kind of cancer, dude.
Yeah.
All right.
Lincoln opens the door and he sees the guy
and just knows right away
he doesn't belong here.
And he's like,
hey, hey, this guy,
this guy shouldn't be here.
This guy's evil.
And the guy sees us
and is like,
maybe you don't belong.
And then I'm like,
oh shit, it's too late.
I already said he's evil.
That's all I do.
That's all I do.
All right, roll persuasion
to see if you can convince the angels
that they made a mistake.
Freddie popped Taylor's head in.
What?
Because he's Asian. Oh, Taylor walks by and looks at him asianly roll intimidation
it's intimidation ah and lincoln sees what they're throwing down he goes hey buddy they
they're all like that outside the doors here we're here. And there's a lot of us.
Eight plus nine, 17.
Oh my God.
Okay.
So you know how in a Christmas story
they have them say fudge
so you don't have to hear the F word?
Yeah.
Okay.
Where are you going with this, bro?
Careful, my friend.
He's going to say,
oh, darn,
it's a person.
And he's going to say a slur, a horrible slur.
And the angels are going to go.
And their pupils are going to dilate very, very, very big.
And they are going to bash their way into his room and start attacking him.
Great.
Hold on, Freddy's cooking over here. I'm cooking here.
Would you say a slur
if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong
and say some words I'll regret later on.
Wow, you got a natural. I rolled
a natural 20 to see if they would be
distracted or not. And they are.
They're just fucking eating. They're like passing
them back and forth like those two T-Rexes and fucking
lost the world. Like just like toss his body
back and forth and we just start running away.
Yeah. So you managed to distract
all the angels that were following you by just having that guy say a slur so congratulations um heaven's
fucking crazy heaven's crazy yeah one of them one of them fucking blinks down on his arm and
just the arm just isn't there anymore another one blinks down on his leg and the arm like just
isn't there anymore no blood no nothing but the guy's just like screaming okay so yeah i think
we're just running to the hell portal right are? Are we running to the pee pee room?
Yeah, we're running to the pee pee room.
But there's, hold on one second guys, before we go there, this is as we're running.
What's up Taylor?
We are in heaven.
Yeah.
We should just like have a look around just in case there's some cool shit up here.
I mean, you know, how many chances do you have?
I do have one.
There's so much spaghetti though.
There's so much spaghetti.
I mean, can we go into a room and then just close the door and see if the angels pass by us and then we can like explore freely just right now we're like getting chased
what would you like to do do you want to explore one of these rooms or do you want to go straight
to the piss portal well you said what was saying that he had two things so it's the the peeing but
what's the other okay if we are trying if we're gonna if we're gonna try to lay low okay and hide
from these angels because they could make us they could whatever's gonna happen there's one person up here okay who is honor bound to protect
any student of teen high okay his name is tony pepperoni oh man i mean like that guy sucks i
don't think that guy's up here is that guy up here he was baptized i cast locate person
okay let's locate creature let that poor man sleep normal all right so tony pepperoni you can see is about a
mile to the south of you okay okay so far away guys okay there's gonna be people movers or
something right do you want to go talk to him i don't know i thought maybe somebody who might
might have something to say to him why are you looking at scary well
yeah i know but we like moved past that like It's all cool. Water under the bridge.
I don't know if I call it.
I just, you know, I'm just saying.
I mean, he's in heaven then.
That's pretty good for him.
That's great for him.
Honestly, straight up, I'm sad he died,
but I didn't think he deserved to get into heaven.
To be fair, heaven's not that cool,
so I guess he does deserve to be here.
It seems like, Scary, you've turned over a new leaf a little bit, and if there was anything,
like, I don't know, anything you wanted to say uh to our
beloved dearly departed vice principal this would probably be the only time you'll ever get in your
entire life do it so i'm just putting that out there i'm just putting out there we're on the run
i get it there's a lot of pressure we're getting chased by angels we gotta go to hell but uh if we
got a couple minutes uh maybe that's something we could do that's all i'm gonna say and then i
yield the remainder of my time narc normal like this you want scary to go apologize to a teacher like
yeah it's like kind of not metal it's not metal but okay would it ease any you know
would it ease your tummy i mean i would it ease your tongue
gosh darn it well i guess when you put it like that i mean yeah it's like if it's
just a couple minutes of our time it's like you know it's no big deal you know just scary i'm
very proud of you i just want to say that and we're with you every step of the way uh whatever
you need you got this we're proud of you and we support you he kind of peer pressured her into it
yeah i know it's like i feel weird about it. No, it's fine.
I want to do this.
I want to do it.
Okay, that's it.
Is there a give two big thumbs up to the guys?
Like, this is going great.
And we kind of narrow our eyes.
This is a new level of narc.
Heretofore unseen level of narc I haven't experienced before.
I'm narcing on scary to her own conscience. Dog.
The adults are like,
Carrie killed a guy.
I mean,
she didn't.
I'm not.
Shut up.
Let,
let who is without fucking sin.
Throw rocks.
Fair enough.
All right.
Fair enough.
Mark says he got me there.
Let's just go.
Let's just go.
Let's do this.
People movers in heaven.
Come on,
give me something moving sidewalk.
Little cool pods.
All right.
We're trying to save our baby.
Let's do this.
Fine.
Let's just,
let's run.
Let's run fast.
As you run with purpose,
the cloud beneath you does like the,
if Bugs Bunny's on like a red carpet,
he goes like,
and like the carpet like sort of like
piles up behind him or whatever.
And then you head off.
You can feel the clouds underneath you
piling up behind you.
That's good.
Cause none of us take gym seriously.
So if we had to run a mile,
we'd be here.
Lincoln's a fucking soccer player.
Lincoln's running like a 430 mile. Lincoln's like 430 that's insane you're right it's only like a 530 mile no no no actually
new team fact lincoln should be a professional sprinter and it's track the star but he loves
there's a youtube video that says how can i run a sub 430 mile on my first attempt and it's you
know i mean sub 4 is insane because that's professional 430 mile on my first attempt in this? I mean, sub four is insane
because that's professional.
430 is very fast, though.
I'd say Lincoln could run a sub five.
He's very in shape.
Lincoln's fucking there.
Almost immediately,
the rest of us are wheezing.
Well, actually, no,
I guess it's probably Lincoln,
then Scary,
and then we know who's bringing up the rear.
Okay.
Normal and Taylor.
No, no, no.
You have done like handsprings and stuff.
I think it's me and Herman.
We'll just decide that all the teams are out of shape i forgot that you were somehow i forgot that you were a soccer guy
so dude says wait do we need to go fast yeah go fast we do need to go fast dude can you like
touch my hand i touched okay i touched dude's hand he goes and stretches his arm forward like
michael jordan at the end of space jam and then just very quickly grabs the ground and just yoinks you all forward.
So you're pretty much where you want to be right outside Tony Pepperoni.
Oh, hell yeah.
Wow.
Your stomach churns within you.
You immediately feel intense nausea.
But you are there in the snap.
Everybody's on the ground.
Link's going to roll perception just to I want to make sure like nobody's following us.
You know, like just are we clear?
Good idea.
Watch our six.
Yeah, roll perception.
And is this wing any appreciably different
than the rest of heaven?
No, it looks pretty much the same.
The exact same thing, huh?
Yeah, they're all just doors.
More spaghetti, I told you.
Do you think he's happy here?
Because he was a pizza guy.
I got four.
Guys, it's clear.
I don't know.
I hope so.
There's no angels anywhere as I can see.
Okay.
Okay.
Thanks, Link.
Hey, Link.
You're doing a good job.
Okay.
Scary, do you want to knock? I just want you want it feels like morale is a little weird right
now so i just want to yeah i just want to move on with it hey you know okay okay do you really
want to give me positivity or do you want me to say thank you so you feel good about yourself
normal tries not to cry oh shit get him get him. Sparrow opens his arms for a hug in case Normal needs one.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
I'm good.
Sorry, sorry.
I didn't mean to.
It's fine.
No, it's good.
Okay, I'm sorry.
It's good.
Scary knocks.
Tony Pepperoni opens the door.
He's wearing a kiss the cook apron.
He has a couple of mittens on his hands, and there's a giant brick oven pizza behind him.
And he goes, Margarita, you're here. Oh, oh, it's you. It's you.
What do you want? Hi. I'm not sure if you remember me.
Oh, you're the last thing I remember.
Yeah, I was a student of your.
I mean, I went to the school that you were a principal at.
Yeah, and then you killed me or you let a guy kill me.
Oh, yeah, there was that as well.
And so I was just wondering, can I come in?
Roll persuasion.
That is nine plus five.
So 14.
Because whatever you have to say to me, you can say here.
Okay.
Smells great in there, Mr. P.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Yeah, we miss you, Mr. P.
Thank you.
And I love your, I love your apron.
I think it's pretty cool that despite everything, you got into heaven.
Well, no, you know, we're all not perfect.
Anyways, I'm glad you're here.
I feel weird on her hand to compliment. What the fuck was that hey i said what i meant
guys wait i have something to say sorry um mr pepperoni When I killed you, I wasn't myself or I wasn't thinking or I actually, I was myself.
And I was thinking pretty clear.
But there was a couple of things I didn't know yet that I know now.
And I killed you, and I didn't think about what it would do to your family.
And I didn't realize they would leave this like, this like hole, like around like where your life had
been, where people were like, holy shit, like that guy was annoying, but then he's gone and there's
nothing and there's no place to put everything that I felt about him. And so, I thought that was a pretty shitty thing that I did to you.
And so I realize now that I had no right to do that to your family and you.
And I had no right to act that way to my friends and I know that it doesn't
actually make anything better because you're still dead and and there's nothing I can do and
and I know you don't want to hear about how like you know how I feel bad or whatever but I just I just want you to know that um
um that I didn't realize how much you mattered until I there you didn't you you weren't there
and so you I just want to tell you that you did you did matter, and I'm so sorry.
His brow is furrowed and his jaw is set.
Roll persuasion one more time.
Ooh, I got a good one, unfortunately. I did get a 19 plus 5.
Shit.
Which I think is not the moral to take away from me.
Yeah.
You know?
Well, he says, I guess it took some amount of courage to come here knowing that you killed me and knowing that that almost certainly guarantees you're not going up here later in life.
That's why I assume this is not just for you.
This is for this is a genuine apology.
So thanks. Oh, you don't have to say thanks or
whatever but well i mean that's all you're getting i don't forgive you for murdering me and leaving
my daughter without a dad you know what that's fair she started a pretty cool podcast though
about your murder i'm just saying she's doing anyways i was just saying like margarita it's
like she's really sad but i just thought you should know that your daughter and your wife are doing.
If you have anything you want to say to them, we're going back.
That's probably better.
You want to if you have anything you want to give them or say to them, we can get the message to them.
Yeah, because actually I was going to say that like she's doing well, but actually she's not doing well because she's spending her whole time doing podcasts.
Is she doing well?
I'm just trying to tell the truth more often.
Yeah, OK, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for saying these things. I'm not like anyways, I'm sorry trying to tell the truth more often. Okay, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for saying these things.
I'm not, like, anyways, I'm sorry for that.
That's a smaller apology compared to killing you.
I'm sorry.
Apart from the very brief period of time where we were all watching anime together and I felt like I had a friend group.
My man.
You guys have been the worst thing that ever happened to me.
Okay, well.
Sorry, sorry.
Just real quick.
Can I ask you something?
What?
Did it hurt?
Like, not like when you were, like, actively dying, but then after.
And actually, yeah, the whole, did it, how bad did it hurt?
It didn't feel great.
Okay.
But then it felt like nothing, so it was fine.
It was like walking into another room.
Okay. Cool. Well, thanks. So it was fine. It was like walking into another room. Okay,
cool.
Well,
uh,
thanks.
Thanks for your time.
Thanks for not making that a pickup line.
Uh,
I,
I wasn't,
I wouldn't try to pick you up.
That's entirely inappropriate.
Yeah.
Can I,
can I ask a question?
Fine.
This has been up here.
Have you like changed any of your opinions about like certain people and
things?
Since we last heard about you,
he was a bad person you don't remember this
and they literally said he was racist
right before he died
I don't give a shit about this
guy yeah he's dead
and he's in heaven good for him
heaven really fucks up stories
right because it's like yeah then
he died and he's in heaven you're
like well that's literally the best possible anyways all fucking lacks like looks that scary
and he does not care about uh this guy but link's just happy that scary feels a little better no
i'm still racist yep i thought so i'm only up here because i got baptized because i thought
about my kids as i died apparently that's all it takes so and you love italian food and i love
italian food so this is a little cheat code for you there, kids.
Heaven's fucked up.
Can I ask you like another question?
Oh my God, what?
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
I eat mop.
I eat my who?
No, it's I eat mop.
I eat mop?
You gotta say it.
I eat mop who?
No, God damn it, no. So that's what you do in there all day i got him
mission accomplished uh mr pepperoni uh it seems like we've pretty much this seems like this
conversation's running course i just want to say as a student in the school that we miss you and
and it's been an honor and a privilege sir and again if you do have anything you want to pass
on your wife and kid i'm i as a steward of Teen High, will deliver the message to them.
And I kneel.
I think the best gift I could give to my wife and child is to ensure that you never speak to them again.
So, no.
Okay.
Fair enough.
All right.
Well, goodbye, sir.
Link leans over to Scary and is like, I think the best gift he could give his wife is die.
Because remember, she was not a fan of his at all.
Yeah.
That's just for Scary. that's just for scary that's just for scary and johnny barbaroni slams the door and all the cool items and stuff
that he had in there uh goes unused oh wait wait do you leave a key under the mat no oh
can link roll perception to see if you saw the items as he was closing the door yeah
you got 13. Alright, with
13, you'll see one item. Let me see.
Hey guys, I know that was a kind of weird conversation,
but he did have useful items in there. Do you want to get
anything in there? No! I want to respect
the man's privacy. I was just coming over here.
What's he going to do though?
A nice little character growth moment for us.
Maybe our friend could unburden some of her demons.
Well, she did. But then you guys ruined it
by being big jerks.
Scary? Did you get what you came for? I don't know. I guess could unburden some of her demons. Well, she did. Yeah, but then you guys ruined it by being big jerks. Well, no, but she still got what she needs.
Scary, did you get what you came for?
I don't know, I guess.
Dang, you know, sometimes it be like that.
No, no, it feels like you didn't get what you came for.
Because I did what I wanted to do with there,
but it seems like you wanted to get something
from telling Scary to go get an apology
and you're mad that we didn't do this.
Oh my God, it's like when Grant would always have...
Fine, fine, fine.
Guys, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to all of you. I know there. It's like when like Grant would always like, fine, fine guys. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to all of you.
I know there's nothing I can do that can make it better,
but I,
I'm going to try to,
to,
to,
to not be such a,
an ass.
And I'm going to try to be nicer,
I guess.
And I just know that I was just beyond shitty.
And I know that the reason doesn't matter, but I just didn't know really who I was just beyond shitty and I know that the reason doesn't matter but I just
didn't know really who I
was and it turns out actually
I was pretty clearly just
a piece of shit
and now I'm
trying to not do that
and I know that I really
hurt you and I'm so sorry
oh thanks Gary
thanks Gary you've been pretty awesome
you happy with that normal
damn Taylor I mean even I was mad but like
that felt like thank you scary I appreciate that
I'm sorry normal I got upset I just
feel dude says you seem you seem
nice I don't I haven't known you for
very long but you seem nice so that's
good no dude I'm a bad
girl and it's not cool
to be a bad girl.
No, I know, but it's not.
It's just, yeah.
Look, we've all done bad things and there's some pretty bad people in heaven even.
So like, I don't even know if like what we understand as morality is even like, like why we're trying to save the world right now.
So that's pretty good.
And scary right now you're trying to save the world with us.
So that's pretty good.
Right.
And I consider you a friend and like, I think that's pretty cool.
So, you know, it's pretty cool so you know it's
just like you know it's weird as i keep thinking about how like you know terry always said he was
proud of me but he never knew me when i was somebody to be proud of so i think we're gonna
see him again we might we might find him yeah so the item that you saw inside tony peroni's house
was the fuck you dad
great sword which was sent to us by the raven king thank you the raven king it is a plus one
great sword that has advantage on all attacks when it strikes a figure of authority the blade
itself is incredibly dark gothic and unbelievably edgy that sword within it lies a spirit of pure
teenage rebellion well it's not over yet so guys oh god i know this is a little awkward because
this is a lot of feelings right
now but like i do have to say what i saw in there was like a pretty cool sword that specifically
fought authority so like well i have a question for you do you think we could get in there and
speaking of your relationship with authority how you doing man who are you talking to you me yeah
oh um you know i don't know my dad's love loved me. That's cool, I guess. Yeah, it's great.
It's pretty crazy that there's already a movie made.
It's great.
Everyone's getting nice little, yeah, all right.
I knock on the door.
As Grant and Sparrow are about to say something,
you knock on the door and Tony Pepperoni opens it.
And he goes, what?
Mr. Pepperoni, look, I can read the room.
I know that we're, again, the last people you want to see,
but we're on a mission of grave importance
for the fate of the universe.
And as much as it pains me to say it,
the lives of your daughter and your wife may hang in the balance along with
everything and everyone else that you hold dear in your racist heart.
And even the races you don't like,
but some of them you probably still like,
you know,
people are complicated that way.
Yeah.
I sexualized some of them.
Oh my God.
We need that sword,
sir.
For the good of the land.
Roll persuasion.
That's a 15.
All right.
With a 15,
he goes,
as long as it means I don't ever have to see you kids again,
I will do whatever it takes.
By,
by troth and by my honor as a teen,
I give you my word.
Fucking fine. So he goes and he grabs the great sword. He goes, I was using this to fight a dragon, I give you my word. Fucking fine.
So he goes and he grabs the great sword.
He goes, I was using this to fight a dragon because I wanted to fight dragons.
It was fucking awesome.
So, yeah, I guess you could have it.
I guess I'm bored fighting dragons now.
I'm on to new shit like making pizza.
OK.
That's what really heaven is.
Just a lot of time for hobbies and shit.
All right.
Well, that sounds healthy. And I hope you find what you're looking for up here and i i take this word so so far seems like heaven is nothing but a bunch of
solitary men doing hobbies wow the dream let's go guys let's get out of here okay normal dejectedly
drags the sword away as he walks off towards their next objective okay it's like kind of
scraping along the ground is it kicking up cool sparks, though?
It's kicking up the coolest of sparks.
Cool sparks from the clouds. Can Doodler
fast travel us to the portal?
Awesome. Doodler with all the power of
Starfield.
Hey, Doodler,
it appears that we're 250 meters away from the door.
Can we just... You're no problem.
So he takes you back to the dolphin area and the dolphins all see their favorite guy piss boy gum toucher and one of them goes okay yeah and a bunch of dolphins
come over and go okay and clap their flippers together waiting for you to whip it out you're
somewhat of a celebrity yeah i'm gonna miss you guys you really helped me during a hard time um you didn't see me at my best but
whatever i do for the rest of my life will make you proud when i get back up here if i get back
up here oh god oh i'm so lucky you know what i wasn't sure if i believed in heaven or not but
now i know i got some friends up here if i do make it so there's something worth fighting for
thanks a lot oh thanks guys oh man kick. Aw. Thanks, guys.
Aw, man.
Hey, you guys.
One of them lowers its head to you
as if asking to be Pat.
Oh, ask.
I thought he wanted me to knight it.
Oh, knight him.
Knight him really quick with the new sword.
Oh, yeah.
I grabbed the sword.
Excuse me.
I'm holding that.
Oh, can I knight this dolphin?
Whatever.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
I go to you flippy the greatest
of my friends i knight you a friend to all humankind and uh it's just a good just a good
boy you're a good one and i knight him i go here's your sword back normal's already jumped
into the portal okay oh shit okay guys let's go let's go. Let's go. Flippy starts pissing. Oh, wow. Because you taught him.
I taught dolphins how to piss.
These dolphins lived in heaven.
They didn't have to piss.
It's like a dead poet society, but they're all standing up and pissing on desks.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Lincoln Falls is normal.
You zoom down towards hell.
Even plummeting from the heights of heaven, you can see down in hell.
There are some flashing lights beneath red and blue.
And you see what looks to be a sort of ambulance next to the gates of hell.
Somebody is loading up a demon with a big piss-punched hole through its skull into a gurney.
And they're putting the gurney into an ambulance.
Wow.
Yo, is he going to be okay?
And Link checks his pants for any piss stains make sure there's no
on the hand you gotta give i think you were probably for pissing for long enough that the
stains have dried up good so i think you're just checking the black light you all land
outside the gates of hell no fall damage no fall damage in hell. And there's a bunch of hell cops and hell ambulances sort of posted up outside the gates of hell.
Hell cops.
Hey, that guy, that demon that died, he was bad, right?
I talked to the ambulance driver.
The ambulance driver goes, the demon?
Yeah, he's bad.
I figured.
This is hell, so yes.
I know, but we went to heaven and some people in heaven were bad, too.
Oh, yeah.
Heaven's got some crazy bad rules about who gets to go in and who doesn't.
Oh, my God. Who is this guy?
Oh my god, I love this guy.
He's a bad guy.
I'm assuming that means there's also good people in hell too, right?
Oh, many good people in hell, yes, for sure.
Oh, okay.
Oh, man.
Well, then what's the point of the dichotomy?
Nothing matters anymore.
I didn't make the rules.
You just blindly enforced them.
That's what I thought.
He's not a cop, Taylor.
He's a living.
Oh my god, he sounds like bartok from anastasia beth you're so bartok pill i know i'm so i'm a bartok cell
hey buddy you can like just i'm assuming since you have this ambulance like you can kind of you
got free like pass through hell right is that how ambulances work in other worlds once you're
driving an ambulance you could just do whatever you want i mean if you if you're in an ambulance and you got the sirens on,
I think most places will let you through is my point.
Okay, I guess that's true.
That's fair.
I'm just wondering.
Guys, I'm just wondering if this is a good way to get in the ambulance
and then we can drive however we want through hell.
Nice.
Yeah, I guess we could do that.
I don't know.
I'm just trying to think of a way to get through hell.
So just to be clear, you want to steal the wheels from this paramedic
who is actively caring for the person you shot through the head with liquid from your penis.
I was just thinking D&D game style is how this thing could actually make us work.
Scary doubles over.
Ow, my stomach.
It hurts really bad.
I think I need to go to a hell hospital or something.
And I need to get there in a hurry.
Roll deception. to go to a hell hospital or something and i need to get there in a hurry roll deception but remember
hell has privatized health care so that they're uniquely financially incentivized to give people
oh no my rich friend is i got 16 yeah he goes oh you have a bad belly thing i can charge you a
great deal for the ride in the ambulance if you want i'm coughing up blood yeah too and um she turns out her pockets where like some red
sauce falls out and then also a giant meatball um oh god look what she just coughed up she smears
the sauce on her mouth she's like please help me in this giant meatball get into this ambulance
hey buddy can some of your friends help pick her up? And I look around thinking we could do the same scam as last time.
See if he has anybody working with him.
I mean, yeah, I got my other guy
that's driving the ambulance with me.
Hey, come here. Hey.
And he's going to call out the name of his partner.
Actually,
these guys seem pretty money motivated.
We could probably just pay them for the ambulance.
Hey, come over here, Titty Rogers Jr.
Titty Rogers Jr.?
Yeah, that was sent to us by somebody calling themselves Titty Rogers Jr., so thank you for that.
They put their own name in?
Hell yeah.
So, yeah, come over here.
We need to load in this girl who's got the bad stomach ache.
We can put her on top of the guy because he's not coming back.
He got some holy water through the head.
That's a DLA if I ever have seen one.
Okay, well, my spouses need to come with me.
Yes, we are next of kin.
That's true, we have power of attorney.
Yeah, all of us.
If she has a fatal tummy ache.
And then my in-laws.
And then this eldritch cod.
And our friend from school.
Yeah, we can't leave her.
Roll persuasion.
That's a lot of people to go in one hand.
I don't know.
16 plus 5.
Okay, come on in.
Yay.
Hey, while we got you guys here,
it would be honestly most useful to us
if we could just have that.
Yeah, since we're mostly in here,
we outnumber you, so are you gonna go to threats
now i was just gonna drive you to the hospital no so i was thinking i was thinking you guys seem
like stand-up guys hell speaking wise like compared to a lot of people in hell so i just
thought i'd be honest with you like look we gotta do some stuff in hell you don't want to know about
it if it's in hell it's probably not good right well i mean okay sorry oh what's up scary okay so if one second you talk to my wife what's up oh yeah uh if my husband is talking okay um um
so okay dude can use their speed thing to like get us around so why do we need well you could
also use this thing to just yeet these guys somewhere else oh no it's a good idea sometimes
i feel like i just like i just like march ahead and i don't tell you guys what i'm thinking so
here's what i was thinking is like if we're in the ambulance we just go up to the gates and we say oh
hey we got a heart attack call for Terry right they'll just point us to the direction of who
we're looking for and we turn on the sirens and they'll just let us like drive through like I have
a question yeah I turned to Nick the prince demon of hell that's with us right yeah hey thanks guys
for asking for my help yeah I um you're from here right yeah oh hey hey mr nick don't give a sass you've been here this
whole time and haven't said a single thing i've been waiting for you guys to talk to me i didn't
want to take over the story no no that's just my dad playing on his phone okay so you like my
ambulance idea fucking marvel snap marvel snap the whole time yeah how you doing the marvel snap dad
real good i got a mr negative deck that's fucking killing, bro.
Wow.
So if you drive an ambulance, will they just let an ambulance drive around if it's got
the alarms and says it's going towards somebody?
Yeah, it's pretty much like Earth.
Yeah, okay.
But like, can't you just say that we're with you and then we can just get in here?
Well, no.
You guys aren't allowed to go back in.
But you're a demon.
Aren't there like special rules for you?
There's special rules for me, but not for you.
Like, I can't sneak you in again without provoking my-
Your dad has no juice in hell.
Normal.
Hey.
Guys, normal.
We went to go-
No, stop.
Hey, you got shit to say about my dad.
You got shit to say to me, my man.
You want to throw down right here, right now, we can do it.
I mean-
Taylor's already like rolling his sleeves up.
Okay.
I don't-
I mean, you know, I'm just saying, it seems like your dad, you know, it doesn't really
like-
He seems like kind of a wuss down here.
Whoa.
What?
Thank you.
I hold Taylor.
Hold me back.
I'm just saying, he's a prince from hell.
You'd think he'd be able to get somebody in, right?
Taylor and Nick start encroaching on you.
My dad can get you free vegan ice cream at the vegan ice cream shop.
My dad has so many cool decks in Marvel Snap.
He can defeat anybody on his phone and any of these phone games
so if you want your teeth still in your mouth i could kick the shit out of your dad and i did
yeah my dad could beat up your dad i mean okay yeah mark and sparrow go like hey fuck you don't
talk to my son that way oh they both accidentally say that simultaneously
and they stand in front of you and they get in nick's face and it goes oh do we fucking have a
problem again and lark goes i don't know are we going to have a problem again and spirit goes
guys guys guys let's calm down but yeah i think we might have a problem again don't say shit to
normal you don't talk to normal okay he's out i'm talking to normal normal normal's what started it
don't talk to my son well you know maybe i'm sick you pushing me around taylor i haven't pushed you
around once yeah you've been yeah yeah you have probably like when i'm not of you pushing me around, Taylor. I haven't pushed you around once. Yeah, you have.
Probably, like, when I'm not looking,
you're probably pushing me around when you talk to Lincoln, scaring all that crap.
Just because you're jealous of the cool relationship
I have with everybody,
the cool dynamics I have with everybody,
doesn't mean you can take it out on me.
I ain't jealous.
I don't have the cool dynamics with anybody.
That's your problem, my man.
Don't take it out on me, the coolest guy.
All right, fine. That's what I thought walk away walk away okay guys look okay
well well normal maybe we have a cool dynamic when like i came up with like a cool plan to do
an ambulance like after we did your plan to like force gary to like say sorry to like a racist
asshole like i was like i came up with a cool plan and you didn't like you're like like taylor
like you would be like we all let's do it. That sounds cool. And you were just like, Oh, after dad, his dad was like, that's a good idea.
You're like, Oh, so like, you know, I don't know.
You're my friend and my husband and everything.
But like, I just wish like sometimes you would support like cool plans.
Dude's like, they're arguing where they arguing.
I thought they liked each other.
They do.
They're arguing because like, this is like a really important thing that we're
trying to do and so there's a lot of different ways it could go and i think that makes people
nervous and so i think when people are nervous they act in ways that are kind of like dark and
twisty and kind of metal to be frank but mostly unfriendly okay do i kill one of them or no no
normal is just like his eyes are welling with tears.
Oh, no.
And something's like clearly eating him up inside, but he doesn't know how to express it.
And he's just like, I just, you know, I just, you know, you know, just you guys go.
I'll stay out here.
You guys go.
You guys go.
It'll be fine.
It'll be fine.
Yeah, you guys go have fun.
You guys go have fun.
I'm done.
It's just, it's fine.
It's fine.
It's fine.
What you're saying is crazy.
You got to come with us, man.
You got to come with us. Let's talk about it in the ambulance after we've either paid these guys or beamed them up. It's just, it's not fine. It's normal. What you're saying is crazy. You got to come with us, man. Yeah, you got to come with us.
Let's talk about it in the ambulance
after we've either paid these guys
or beamed them up.
It's up to them.
Hey, what is this about beating me up?
Come on, man.
We're beating you up with these dollars.
Dat, dat, dat.
Now, dat, dat.
I'll pull out my Hellbucks shirt.
No problem.
Nick takes out a couple of flaming coins.
He goes, surely this will allow you
to look the other way
for an afternoon of joyriding.
How much damage could they really do, kids? Come on. He's going to roll persu they really do kids come on he's gonna roll persuasion and we'll bring the ambulance back to
you and we'll bring the ambulance back you rolled a 17 so wow the paramedic is like all right but
just make sure it's in the same condition that you brought it in when i gave it to you and leave
the corpse where it is okay well wait wait if you're gonna say that let's be clear about this
and link pulls out a little pad of paper and he drives he draws a little car like two sides of the car he's like
let's go through and walk around check walk around how many dents are there on this thing i don't
want to pay for this i roll perception to do the rental car walk around all right that's a 19 you
do a perfect recreation of the car drawn in three dimensions on link's notepad you see the two of
them like damn i was gonna try to get that dent fixed from them.
Yeah, they're upset at how
good the drawing is. Okay, we'll wait
for you here, I guess. Can you dad's drive and
maybe us teens, we can have a little
couple talk in the back because it
feels like, yeah, is that cool?
Is that okay? Normal? So normal
has gone around the corner and he's
come back dressed in the teeny the teen
outfit. You can't see, he's just an impenetrable, gritting, come back dressed in the teeny the teen outfit like just
so you can't see he's just an impenetrable gritting rictus mask of teeny the dean
it's like that no we're good we're good we're great let's go guys let's have a fun adventure
this is gonna be great me and my three best friends and my future boyfriend and our non-Euclidean
friend over here we're gonna have a fun time with my dads it's gonna be so fun guys it's gonna be
great let's go and he pushes past you all to climb into the ambulance and there's the body still in the ambulance right yeah yeah we're
all i follow oh that's fun you hear from normal as he opens and sees the mangled corpse of this
fucking i walk in and even though it's a demon like stares at the hole in the demon's head
that he created with his piss grant immediately tries to put his hands over your eyes because
don't look son it. It's okay.
It's okay.
You don't have to look.
It's impossible not to look in a mirror.
And I just stare.
Oh, no, son.
Oh, no, my boy.
Oh, boss kicks.
I didn't say anything.
I didn't say anything.
Oh, no.
Dad, you're supposed to be driving.
Get in the front.
All right, I'll get in the front.
This is only for people who are married.
I try to grapple Norm.
Okay, roll athletics.
I got a 15.
I got a 19.
That's fucked.
And so Normal clearly knows what's going on, but he plays it off like you're trying to hug him. He's like, hey, yeah, I love you too, got a 19. That's fucked. And so Normal clearly knows
what's going on, but he plays it off like you're trying to hug.
He's like, hey, yeah, I love you too, Scary. That's great.
Yeah, I am trying to hug you.
Yeah, I'm trying to hug you too, so good hug.
Good hug. We're great. I really appreciate the hug.
That's great. And I sit in the corner.
Staring at the wall.
Normal turns
the head around so that he's sitting
forward, but the head is staring at the corner.
I'm a little sleepy, guys.
So I'm just going to sleep.
I'm just going to sleep till we get to where we're going.
OK?
OK.
Scary.
What's up?
Was I too?
Was I too mean to normal?
No, I just I just think Norm's going through like his own thing, you know?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, it's unfortunate because we can't do this without him.
Yeah, man.
If he was awake, i would tell him that
he's pretty awesome yeah but he's asleep he's asleep you really uh that's right i'm asleep
you really hate to see it oh i'm so asleep can you guys roll perception please sorry what excuse me just like everybody in the ambulance the dad's roll a 19 natural one

large meatball unfolds and says wow what a journey what, how big was that meatball in your pocket?
Big enough, bucko.
What?
Hi, I have returned in your hour of need.
Just like I said.
Wasn't it good that I said that?
But anyways, I'm here and you need me for the daddy magic anyway.
So what's going on, kiddos?
Wait, is Daryl in the other pocket?
Grandpa?
Yeah, I got some bad news about your grandpa.
Oh, no.
You just left him?
He's still in the timeout room.
Is the timeout room bad in heaven?
It's great, kiddo.
And I rolled deception.
And I get a 14.
I'm going to roll wisdom.
This is what's known as the Santa Claus check.
I got a natural 20.
Oh, no.
So what is the time I lied to?
Oh, okay.
Okay, I've never been there, right?
Okay, yeah, okay.
Yeah, as soon as I saw those angels
and I chickened out and I just...
They're all strong.
He'll figure it out.
No, this is...
Oh, yeah, we're going to go find Terry, Ron.
That's great, my beautiful boy.
Yeah, he's in hell.
Yo.
Which, as a matter of fact,
I wasn't trying to say a judgment thing.
I'm just saying we're here. As established, you could be a good guy in hell. So. Which is a matter of fact, I wasn't trying to say, that was a judgment thing. I'm just saying we're here.
As established,
you could be a good guy in hell.
So Nick jumps onto the CB radio
and asks,
does anybody have eyes
on a recent entrant into hell?
His name is Terry Sampler Jr.
And then after a bit of static
that you can't really make out,
he goes,
oh yeah,
he's in the Plains of Misery.
He went straight there
after arriving.
Nick goes,
yeah, I know where that is.
Yeah.
All right.
Everybody buckle up.
And he presses a button
on the dashboard and the ambulance goes,
bitch! And the entire ambulance gets sucked down.
It's like a novelty horn.
Yeah. Gets sucked down into the worst hell.
Whoa! Okay, great.
Ron looks really excited and
Scary looks really not excited
and is like, okay.
Great. So I'll just, we'll see him And Scary looks really not excited and is like, okay, great.
So I'll just, we'll see him soon then.
Ron clocks this and is like, hey, kiddo,
you scared to see your old stepman or something?
Stepman?
Scary is like, I just don't know what to say to him. Like, you know, like, here's the thing.
Like, Terry used to do all this shit that, like, annoyed the shit out of me, you know?
Like, he'd say, do you want to come to dinner?
And I'd be like, no.
And he'd be like, are you sure?
You know, like, doubting what I wanted, you know?
And it was so annoying because then I'd kind of be like, damn, am I sure?
And now it's like nobody's asking me.
So like I've never been more like unsure.
And, you know, I think he saw like a really bad side of me, you know?
Well, maybe he saw who you could be plus uh not
everyone's as good at scoring goals as you are kiddo so he had a lot to be proud of even if you
don't think that link leans over to normal he's like hey normal but buddy i know you're sad but
i just need to talk to another spouse all right okay I'm just gonna see if you're listening I'm just not I'm not gonna
remember we should be better we should
be making dinner more often
and asking scary what she wants
dinner okay
cool good talk
hey Taylor yeah yeah hold on
I'm looking for rowdy injectables
roll investigation
I rolled a four plus two six I can't find
shit hey link have a
look okay look for things with long scientific sounding names can you check on cross reference
these on web md i'll look for that and you check in with normal to see if he's asleep or just mad
okay all right all right well you search the drawers for injectables i got an eight you can't
find any either there's nothing it just gauze and shit well I guess I'll just load my pockets up with whatever the fucking.
What can I get?
What can I get?
It's a hell of an ambulance.
They don't fix people.
They just take them and say, you're going to hell.
They just drive them to the hospital.
I go up to normal, the teen and teen costume, and I give him a big, strong pat on the back.
Normal.
Now he's asleep.
He's asleep, Link. No, that's not sleep. That's he's asleep. He's asleep, Link.
No, that's not sleep.
That's the silent treatment.
So the hell ambulance comes screeching to a halt on the Plains of Misery.
Hey, we're here, bud.
A large, flat surface.
The ground is nothing but skulls and bones inlaid with each other.
Ah, misery.
Best barbecue I've ever had.
There's St. Louis and
Kansas City.
I don't get it.
Missouri.
Oh, Missouri!
Wow, Ben. That was good. One of the 50 states
jokes? Holy shit. Check that one
off the old list. 49 to go.
Wow, I'm better than Supa John.
You can see the silhouettes of two people locked in combat.
Combat.
As the ambulance gets closer,
you can see that one of them is Terry Jr.
holding a flaming sword.
And you can see that the other is Glenn Close
holding a flaming guitar.
You can overhear one of the shadows,
the Terry Jr. shaped one.
Say, now finish it.
And the two of them run screaming at each other,
their weapons held high,
and they bring them down in a horrible clash.
All our days whisked away
But is there something more to say?
You know that no one knows us better than ourselves
You should tell myself it'll be alright
Pretty lies that we sleep at night
I know that no one knows me better than myself.
And I know I'll get this right.
It's just a matter of time till we make it out alive.
We gotta pick ourselves up and say, today, no, not today We live for tomorrow
Make steel and borrow
Break where we can't change
We gotta pick ourselves up and say
Not today, no, not today
I don't need your sorrow
Come back tomorrow
I'll be on my way I'll be on my way
