Dungeons and Daddies is a rowdy, horny, violent podcast for grownups.

Tonight on the emotional season finale of The Bachelorette,
Scary Marlo needed a date to the big dance.
I kind of needed to go with someone to the dance
because there was going to be like an incursion or whatever
and it was kind of like my job to stop them.
But to get to the dance, she's going to need a date
because this is a no-losers dance. These are the most
precious moments of your life. Soon it'll just be a memory, so
you gotta find someone you love and date him and dance the night away
before she leaves you for your brother, Calzone Tony.
Which of these teens does she get to date?
Will it be Becca Cornstarch? Hi, Scary!
I saw your note outside the band
room, man. Next. Hurt me the unworthy?
Hello, my dear. Would you like to... No.
Get a cheesecake? Hey, so after I kept my pump,
I was just thinking, like, you and me could, like, hit up a dancing character.
You know what I mean?
Let me think about it for a bit.
Piss boy, gum toucher.
You can just call me Link, and Scary, that'd be great.
Why don't we just go together?
We're just trying to save our dads.
He's not really a real dancer.
I've made my decision.
Billy's Cheesecake, will you go to the dance with me?
I cannot believe I'm going out with Scary.
I've been crushing Hunter so hard since sixth grade gym class.
Yeah, I really don't care one way or another who Scary picks,
but I've got to find somebody else, so maybe I should just...
Yo, so, like, Billy was, like, a little too enthusiastic,
if you know what I mean,
and I need somebody who's more my speed,
so I was thinking, why don't we just go to the dance together? Wait, what? Oh, and I need somebody who's more my speed. So I was thinking,
why don't we just go to the dance together? Wait, what? Oh, okay. Yeah, that's great.
That's it for The Bachelorette. What a love storm. Now enjoy this sneak preview of The
Bachelor in Paradise featuring me, Pepperoni Tony, drinking alone and crying at the cheeseburger in
paradise off Route 9. Welcome to Dungeons and Daddies, not a BDSM podcast.
This is the story of four teens searching for their lost dads in a world forever changed
after their granddads accidentally unleashed an eldritch god one whole season ago.
My name is Freddie Wong.
I play Taylor Swift, cool, anime-loving ranger.
Teen. Teen.
Teen.
Taylor's rad fact for this week.
Taylor has been trying unsuccessfully, I should note,
to get one of his dances sold in the hit game Forknife.
Oh, my God.
Forknife.
Love that.
You know how, like, pronunciations of things change over time?
That can happen in video games too.
So this is like McDonald's becoming Macca's in Australia.
It's just fork knife now.
Yeah, it's now fork knife.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The burgeoning metaverse economy of Fortnite has allowed it so that that is the quickest
way to get rich quick.
Create a dance and sell it to the-
So what's Taylor's dance?
What's his move?
I feel like it's Reese sheathing his blade over and it's like the sheath.
But it keeps getting tagged for looking inappropriate.
Like, this is clearly not what people are using the emoji for.
There's a bunch of stuff at the beginning,
but the finishing move is always,
it's the look on the cover art,
which is the two fingers and his eye
and the little, like, salute off of the end of it.
What's it called?
What's the dance move called?
Oh, I don't know.
I don't have a good name for it.
The Swifty?
The Swifty.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Swift Step.
The Swift Step. Yeah, he's been. The Swift Step. The Swift Step.
Yeah, he's been unable to become rich off of his dances.
Aw.
Like all of us, really.
Like all of us.
Struggling on that grind.
Speak for yourself.
I'm loaded from dancing.
The Macarena.
Beth invented the Macarena.
Invented the Macarena.
Did you guys have to learn the Macarena as part of my course?
Yes.
Why did they make us do that?
Could you imagine?
The Macarena is a curriculum.
You can still pull it out anywhere right now
and people would do it.
Yeah, I want to do the Macarena right now.
It is the least dance dance that ever existed.
I don't know why they made us do it.
Boom, boom, boom, yeah, boom, boom.
Yeah, arms, almost got his hands and his cross.
Hey, Macarena.
Aye, and then you turn 90 degrees.
Yep.
And then do it again.
And then you do it again.
That was the worst 10 seconds of our podcast ever. Because I was making noises as we acted out the Macarena. We probably caused so many car
accidents from people just automatically doing the Macarena. Just they feel the rhythm and the
groove and they can't help themselves. My boyfriend was out of town. What else was I supposed to do?
Hey everybody, I'm Matthew Arnold. I play... Hey, Matthew Arnold.
That's fun. Has anyone ever done that before?
No, that's a thing now. That's great.
I play the protective paladin,
Lincoln Lee Wilson. The protective paladin.
The schooled-at-home sports kid.
I mean, he does also stay at home. Yeah, he does stay at home.
I'm a stay-at-home student. So, one of the
times... I don't live at the school.
So the first thing that Marco
and Grant were excited about once Lincoln was
old enough to stay at home at night was that they started taking ballroom dance classes together.
That's what Marco and Grant like to do.
But then Lincoln kept getting really lonely on Wednesday nights when he was alone.
So then after a year or so, he started coming in.
But he wasn't really into ballroom dance.
But Lincoln is actually a very good modern dancer.
He does a little bit of jazz dance as well.
But he's got that footwork.
He's like, oh, it's good for his first work.
He's good.
He's like a good dancer. That was a little bit of jazz dance as well. But he's got that footwork because he's like, oh, it's good for his first work. He's good. He's like a good dancer.
That was me in middle school. I was the guy who would go up to the DJ and be like, can you play
Cherry Poppin' Daddy, Zoot Suit Riot so I can
bust out the jitterbug I learned at Cotillion?
Oh, shit. Hell yeah.
He's like, do you want me to just not have sex
with you right now and skip to the end?
Can you still do it, Will?
I can kind of do it. I think
I've more or less forgotten about it.
Can you do the mashed potato?
Lincoln's definitely much more into modern dance,
like hip-hop and a little bit of jazz dance,
a little bit of whatnot.
Whatnot is actually, it was a famous hip-hop song from 2040,
and it's just hip gyrations.
It's just simulated standing sex is all it is.
One person by themselves,
clasping an invisible partner,
thrusting invisibly,
and everyone's like,
this is it.
The viral dance of the millennium.
We have it.
All the schools taught their kids how to do it.
Instead of sex ed,
they taught everyone the whatnot.
It's actually the whatnot.
When you go to a school dance,
there's a sign that says,
no whatnotting.
It's the one dance you're not.
It's like grinding back in our day.
I remember how to do it.
But Lincoln's really good at whatnot-ing.
Now if we need to cause a distraction at the dance, maybe a lingual plot is whatnot.
Oh my God.
Hi everyone, I'm Will Campos.
I play Normal Oak.
Perky, peppy, chipper, cheery, school spirit mascot kid.
Got it in one.
Nice.
Fun fact about Normal this week.
I thought I'd reveal how Teenie the Teen came to be the school mascot.
normal this week, I thought I'd reveal how Teenie the Teen came to be
the school mascot, which is
that there was a contest to name
the new school mascot, and the
far and away frontrunner
was Demon the Sandemus
Demon. It's like the Sandemon was
the frontrunner. So, like, everyone was fucking
flipping out. That actually sounds tight as
hell. Heavy metal demon,
like, people were coming up with, like, summon the demon
chants and shit like that. Taylor came up with that.
It all got way out of hand. The school administration
was like, we're going to get a lot of blowback on this.
So Pepperoni Tony fudged
the numbers. He rigged the vote.
He key swan?
Yeah, he pulled the key swan.
And he picked what he thought would be the least
problematic, least offensive name on the list, which was
Teeny the Teen. And Normal Oak has been a
fucking pain in his ass ever since. Oh wow wow so does normal think that everybody actually likes him
yes i think 100 normal does not understand that people didn't like teeny the team not my mascot
hi i'm beth may and i play scary marlo a goth punk seeker of darkness who is not like the other warlocks.
Fun fact about Scary.
You can hear the smile.
It sounds fun already.
As has been established,
she desperately wants to be in a hardcore heavy metal rock band
but can't play the guitar.
Is trying to secretly worm her way
into a guitar lesson from the orchestra teacher
so she decided
to start playing
the cello
because she figured
she could fit
a guitar
in a cello case.
But her parents
found out
and now
they're all like
you can't play
the guitar.
What parent
would deny
the guitar?
My parents did.
Oh really? Really? Yeah. Like I
drum set. I get because it's a drum set violin. I get sounds like you're killing a cat, but a guitar.
Yeah. I eventually won this battle. So yeah, I would say I've offered to give, I think maybe
20 people over the course of my life and be like, okay, teach me how to play guitar. Not a single
one has ever made it past like part one, which was just like, do you want
practice next week by next week?
No, no practice.
Okay.
Well, you know, it's gonna be hard to learn guitar if you don't want to practice or play
it.
I'm Anthony Birch.
I'm the daddy master.
So how often outside of our podcast would you say you've heard the phrase daddy magic?
Had you ever heard it before our podcast?
Never, never, never heard it.
I thought you made that shit up.
I did make that shit up, as far as I know.
I mean, I may not be the first person who made it up, but I just pulled
two words out of my head. So imagine my
surprise when I'm watching All Elite Wrestling
and a character comes on
whose name used to be Matt Lee
and then he gets renamed into
Daddy Magic Matt Menard.
And I'm just, I just
want to say that if you're listening,
I will fucking destroy you
I will
I will
I will power bomb you
into the
invite him on the show
or something
I'll destroy you
in role play
oh shit
come on to the show
bro as of two days ago
AEW has filed
for a trademark
what
on the term
daddy magic
Tony Khan
I swear to god
Tony Khan's the guy
who owns AEW
there's only one way
to settle this
yeah it's in the ring.
We can't do Daddy Magic merch.
We can't do hats, shirts, socks.
They can go fuck themselves.
Sweatshirts, bandanas.
Yeah, that's ridiculous.
Or hooded sweatshirts anymore now.
That fucking sucks.
Tony Khan, look.
Wait, wait, wait.
We can actually dispute the trademark filing.
Yes, let's do it.
That'd be fun to fuck with a guy who literally is a billionaire and his dad is also a billionaire.
Yeah.
Who cares? Maybe not. I can still box a little bit. I would pay to watch you beat up Tony Khan. fuck with a guy who literally is a billionaire and his dad is also a billionaire yeah who cares
maybe not i can still box a little bit i would pay to watch you beat up tony khan let me roll to die
oh yes roll to see if you die as a left-handed person then roll to see if you jerk off 72 okay
so you didn't die and then what if you get 69 i mean you roll a uh if you get 69 i think we've
talked about this before like outside the podcast but just so we all know I looked it up we know that the left-handed
thing like left-handed
people are more likely to die
it was like a bullshit study
from like the 90s
that we know is not real
but it's funny
but historically
they've been more likely to die
because they used to think
it was like a weird
perversion thing
or maybe in the future
we all hate left-handed
people again
so who knows
yeah yeah
that comes back around
I've been treated
with mostly kindness
mostly
so roll yeah roll a d20 a saving throw for your constitution to see if you jerked off back around. I've been treated with mostly kindness. Mostly.
So roll a d20,
a saving throw for your constitution
to see if you jerked off.
I thought it was a d10.
No, no, no.
It's a d20.
Okay.
A nine plus three.
Okay, you barely made it.
You just had to beat a 10.
Holy shit.
Man.
How strong is that knife now?
Four?
Five?
Five?
Five?
Four d4, I think.
No, I think it's five.
Five d4 damage.
Well, don't stab my dad with it.
The last we left are in Four Intrepid Teens.
You were at the dance.
You had picked up Hermione the Unworthy.
And just before you stepped in,
Taylor decided he would go with Margarita Pizza
because Erica Drippins was at the popular kids dance.
And upon stepping inside and hearing Pepperoni Tony explain that all the kids need to get together and kiss because his marriage is dissolving.
You saw Larkin Sparrow on the dance floor.
Dad? Uncle Larkin, what are you doing here?
Oh, my God. I'm so glad you're OK.
I write up to them.
They're sort of dancing.
What kind of dance moves?
They're doing the Fortnite dances from our era. Oh, my God. OK write up to them. They're sort of dancing. What kind of dance move they're doing the fortnight dances from our era
Like my stomach torqued itself like in my own body they're posing they're doing all the good
Are the kids loving it like are they surrounded by kids like all these two dads are cool are they?
They're sorry what I meant to say was there is a vast ocean of nothing on the dance floor
In the middle, there's an island of two grown-ass men
Flossing
Flossing
Oh god
Pepperoni Tony's like whatever there's two of them this is fine this is great
You can be more like them
They see you coming and they stop flossing and they go hey
Oh it's normal normal normal hey dad's here dad's here give me a give me a hug
I hug my dad I was so so scared. What happened to you?
No, you don't. Your arms go through him. He's not even there.
What?
And he goes, oh, right, right. Sorry. It's projecting. I'm projecting.
And Lark goes, look, normal. You have to listen to me.
Where we are, it's doing stuff to our heads.
We tried to, oh, man, I want to dance. No, no, no.
Okay, so we're using a lot of magic to try to project and try to talk to you.
There was some things we had to tell you.
Okay, what was it?
What are you doing?
Okay, okay.
What are those dance moves?
I'll ask later.
What's going on?
Sparrow goes, first of all, I love you.
I love you too, Dad.
I love you so much.
Everything I love about you is so good.
Everything about you is so good,
except I would love it if you could be less weird.
And Lark's like, stop that, stop that. You're being mean. You're being mean. He goes, no,
I'm just saying. It's from the heart. I just think he's too weird and he's never going to be happy
and it freaks me out and it kind of disappoints me and I'm a little disappointed. Hey, only I'm
allowed to call him weird. Oh, you have friends. You have friends. That's great. Oh yeah. The other
kid. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I remember what I wanted to say. You should come and save us.
And to save us, you just need daddy magic.
Daddy magic.
Yeah.
Did you see the door?
I did.
That's a door for you.
It changes as you get older and longer.
We sure this guy's telling the truth.
Roll inside if you watched it.
Okay.
I'm going to roll inside as well.
Your uncle seems drunk.
That's my dad.
The other one's my uncle.
Yeah, dad. Did you get into mom's stuff again?
No, it's the place where we are.
It is having an effect.
I got a 13.
In his current state, a 10 would have been sufficient.
So you can tell that as far as you know, he's telling the truth.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
It's just this place, it really, really ruins your mind.
And it kind of like eats away at what you are and messes with you unless you do something to stop it so I took I took precautions and had a little drink and Lark is like I didn't I'm
beginning to forget a lot I told your dad some things I shouldn't re me having sex with his wife
when they were engaged and all that kind of it's like I knew and I knew when it happened and it
was fine it was too awkward to talk about so I just let it slide man it was fine. Wait, what? It was too awkward to talk about, so I just let it slide, man.
It's not a big...
Ah, oh, okay.
So we did a lot of research into daddy magic, which is apparently now a trademark.
And it's...
It clouded the search results as we looked into it.
Yeah.
The way you get it is it's a combination of your desires, R-E-me, and my desires, R-E-you.
Unless Lark's your dad or something.
Lark's like, I'm not his dad.
It was a different time.
It was not during the pregnancy.
And Sparrow's like, okay, that would have been fine.
I still would have loved you.
Still would have loved you, my little weirdo,
weirdo, stinky boy.
Can you, Dad, what is, where are you?
What the hell's going on?
Yes, so we're in another, we're on another plane.
A plane?
Ooh, no.
No, we were trying to fight the doodler
and do some stuff,
but we got trapped here,
and so that's bad.
But the daddy magic,
the closer we get to each other's desires and stuff,
that's how strong your daddy magic gets.
So if you can get really full of daddy magic
by being, you know, not super weird,
then you can come rescue us.
Tonight, there's going to be incursion here, right?
So that's why we came here.
We knew there'd be an incursion.
I could siphon some of the magic to project ourselves in here and talk to you.
So if you just act like super cool and normal at this dance,
and you like have a fun date that goes normal and is not weird,
and you take off that mascot suit and maybe like wear deodorant,
I think everything will be cool and I'll be proud of you.
And then, yeah. Whoa. You're not proud of me no i mean i love you a lot i don't know proud
like proud is like i want to show you to people and be like this is my son and i definitely don't
want to do that but no he doesn't i mean he doesn't he means what he's saying he doesn't
mean to mean what he's i lark starts hitting himself he's like why are you being such a dick
it's doing stuff to us it's it's the drunkenness and also it's this place that we're in he wouldn't
be saying that if he was just lost thinking it though right i mean yeah it's fine yeah dad i'll
do it it's fine i'm sorry it's fine but you don't have to though lark says well i mean i kind of do
no no because you don't have to come and save us i want you to enact code purple did you hear
there's a thing no i know what fucking Code Purple is.
We're way over our heads here.
I'll tell you what I know about Code Purple.
Each of us dads was only supposed to know one aspect of it.
So if any of us got caught, then like the doodler wouldn't find out what it is.
And also Grant was saying that there was something about like it's too psychically damaging for
everyone to know all of it all at once or something.
Is Grant there or are other dads there?
Yes, absolutely.
Grant's there.
He misses you a lot.
We all split up to go to different incursion points
and we're all hiding near different incursion points,
which weirdly it turns out is in your school.
Like one of them's like near your drama area
and one of them's been like the band room and stuff.
But like, it's in a weird version of it,
like over here.
So like, it's like,
you ever see Stranger Things?
It's really old show.
It doesn't matter.
But the thing is like,
oh God, I'm getting Code Purple.
There is a machine somewhere in the archives at Daddy's called the
amplifier. You need to find that. And then whatever Code Purple is, the amplifier is a really important
part of it. You can go to the drama club. And then there was a couple other ones I can't remember
where there are these incursions that are going to happen. And then you'll be able to see, you know,
one of these pairs of dads and we can tell you about our piece of the Code Purple puzzle. And
then you can also maybe, you know, close the incursion and get a bunch of daddy magic that way.
So it's up to you whether you want to come and rescue us
or if you want to enact Code Purple or maybe both.
Like, I don't know.
But for me, I'm cool dying.
You should not come in here.
I think you would die.
You should stay.
Stay safe.
Don't ever expose yourself to any danger whatsoever.
We signed up for this.
Your mom's a great person.
She'll be able to be a good single mother.
It's your turn to talk now.
What's going on?
I'm here. I'm at the dance with my friends we're trying to save you guys and now i'm
here and save us don't save us what do you want sparrows says i want you to come and save us
because i want to see my boy again and lark says and i want you to not do that i want you to do
code purple i'm sorry thank you for sorry thank you for okay fine i'll figure it out i love you
so much i like you so much not proud of you but i love you
what's going on and lark's like no we have to we have to get out of here we told them what they
need to go let's go i'm so sorry he'll apologize for that later if we see you again i hope we don't
but like yeah you have a good life there's a glock under my uh desk yeah bye they start to slowly
fade away is there anything you want to say to them no that happens the last thing you hear before
they fade away entirely is sparrow going are you mad at me and then they fade away entirely taylor like kind of saunters by i
was just getting punched what i miss oh all right just just give me a second guys i just give me a
second and i walk off to the bathroom on the way to the bathroom you see uh hermy the unworthy is
uh standing up against the wall leaning up against the wall reading like a pamphlet or something like
maybe it's like a book with a cover for the back no that's not i go to her
me go hey her me dude look man look your date's having a horrible time go do something he goes oh
i have to continue my role do i well okay he said give us space but like in movies like when
somebody says it doesn't apply to me it doesn't apply to the person you're on data that's usually
like all right i will he cracks his He goes, I will continue the method.
And he rolls up this thing and puts it in his pocket and he heads into the bathroom.
Do we get a quick glimpse of what if you want to roll perception or insight?
Eleven.
Oh, I got an 18.
OK, so Taylor, you saw that it's a script to the play.
Scary.
You see that it is an adaptation of the ancient classic film.
You can see on the cover.
You see a guy like jumping downstairs or something like that.
And he's got his like back arch and his head's in the air.
And on the bottom,
you see the play adaptation of Joker.
Based on the film by Todd Phillips.
I hate it so much.
I hate it so much.
So,
uh,
Hermione Unworthy, who this entire time was just method acting to practice for his lead role in Joker, pushes open the door to the bathroom.
And what are you doing, Normal?
Normal is, uh, taking off the mascot head and I've set it down on the sink.
Great.
And I'm staring at myself in the mirror.
He goes, ooh, having a moment of self-reflection.
Do you want to be alone or should I comfort you?
To be honest, the role that I'm preparing for,
he never gets the date that he wants,
so I don't actually have to do this part,
but you look like you might need some.
What do you mean?
What role?
What are you talking about?
The way that I behaved to you previously at the school
with the moves on Scary that I put,
all that unsavory business.
That is part of my method acting process.
He is going to become the Joker.
Oh, Scary!
Scary's here!
Yes, Scary followed me in. I'm going to become
the Joker. Yes, correct.
So you're an actor?
I like to consider myself a truther.
That means a different thing now.
But he also believes
but he also doesn't believe 9-11.
But I also don't believe 9-11 wasn't an inside job.
But no, yes, I search for the truth in things and I bring them to the stage.
Well, I guess to get my dad back, I got to act like a more normal person tonight.
And I don't really know how to do that.
I just kind of do me.
If you were preparing for a role as like just a high school kid that their dad was proud of them, like what would that look like?
So he temples his fingers and begins to pace back and forth like he's Laurence Olivier.
And he says, ideally, one would draw from one's own experience of normal people one has met or normal people they are.
But as you are not normal and as judging by the way that your pants just behave, your pants are not normal.
It's acceptable in certain situations to go to pop culture.
So when you think of particular
characters you thought ah that's a normal character that's a normal person with normal
desires what comes to mind for you um well i guess like probably those people in the background of
other movies you know like with extras right so you know where you're like oh you know you're
watching a movie and you're seeing the kid work through their stuff and you see like another kid
in the background like reading and you're like oh i wonder you know, you're watching a movie and you're seeing the kid work through their stuff and you see like another kid in the background, like reading. And you're like,
oh, I wonder what his story is like. Probably not as interesting as movies, not about him.
So, so he gets really close to you and he puts his hands on his knees as he goes into like a
squat pose and he goes, that's good. That's good. Follow that. Follow that. What is, would you say
the most normal extra you've ever seen? Think of them in your mind palace. What were they doing?
Uh, let's see. Like, I don't know, doing school stuff, like drinking from drinking fountains or, you know.
That's it.
He snaps.
That's it.
That's your, we call this business.
What you do with your hands, what you do with your face,
what you do with your body, that's how you get into the character.
So what I want to see from you, Normal,
is I want to see you with those drinking fountains.
I want to see you in that background.
I want to see you being the best extra you can possibly be.
For if normality is what you seek,
there's nothing more normal than drinking water from a water fountain.
Okay, but I'm going to need some help getting a new outfit together.
Right.
Because I'm not really wearing much under here.
You're butt fucking naked.
Hey, buddy, are you doing okay?
I mean, I'm okay.
I'm just going to think about it later.
I'm just trying to get my dad back, you know?
I mean, my dads don't drink, but, you know,
sometimes they have a little too much soda pop, and they get a little, you know, bubbly.
And sometimes they say things that they don't always mean.
Look, man, like, I don't know that many kids, but you're like, you don't mean normal.
Look, my dad has a cool book.
I bought copies for you all.
But, you know, it's how to be a good teenage boy.
I'll get, you know, it'll still apply for you, Scary.
But anyways, one of the pages says, be proud of how you look and what you are wearing and who you are.
And I think you're not normal.
You're just, well, you are normal because that's you.
That's your name.
You already are normal.
Your dad's just, he's just a little bubbly.
Don't worry about it.
But if we don't do the thing where normal looks like, you know, the other meaning in normal, then like what are we going to do?
I don't know.
I appreciate it,
Link. You could be a good mascot because that was a great pep talk. But I think I got to try this
out, right? To get him back. I don't want to be doing this anymore. So here's what I'm thinking.
We did a big clothing drive. There's a bunch of clothes. Oh, normal, normal, normal, please.
You're not talking to some audience member you are talking to. And he rips the front of his
suit off and it comes off
because it's
tearaway tuxedo
and he has another
tuxedo on underneath it
he goes
you're talking to
a thespian
and we have
actors don't wear
tearaway clothes
I am that kind of actor
and he hands you
the tearaway tuxedo
and he goes
I always come
with a change of clothes
and perhaps
a quick change
a quick change
and this can be
with two looks
you gotta bring
looks with you if you're an actor.
Of course.
This tuxedo is a slightly different color of off black.
It's like slightly lighter.
It would be my honor to be your costumier
for this production.
Oh my goodness.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right, guys.
I'm gonna...
We need to protect the mascot costume.
That's number one though
because Chaparral could be anywhere.
They could have agents anywhere in this building.
Oh, I got an idea.
I got an idea.
Yeah, what do you think?
Let's put this mascot costume in this
stall, and then we'll take one of our anagram machines and just play back a voice memo of
someone pooping real hard. That sounds great. I could just wear it, because that could help you,
too, because I feel like if they see me in the mascot outfit, they'll be like, oh, that's normal,
and then they'll see you, a normal kid. They'll be like, that's some normal kid. But if they don't
see the mascot outfit, they're going to be like, hey, that's normal, but
not in his mascot outfit.
That's not normal.
And then he won't be normal.
So like, do you see what I'm saying?
It's like that thing where people are like, oh, I want to hang out with like shorter friends
so that I seem taller.
But instead it's just like, I'm going to have a friend be in a mascot costume.
So I seem more normal.
Like you.
So everybody's like, oh, that must be normal.
And then they'll see some new kid.
Like that kid's really normal looking. Do you do that for me that for me bro well i'm doing it for my dad because i really
want to save him but i'm doing for you too well i that would be great yeah um just okay uh she's
a little smelly and i'm gonna go clean it she okay uh she pulls to the left so you know
you you you you know start compensate while you're walking but that would be great because
then i'll know that it's safe and then i'll just try to blend into the background with uh hermie
and uh we'll go from there and hopefully that'll be enough to get my dad back so just uh since i'm
gonna put this thing on what are we doing so you act normal and then we're what's happening so uh
as you say that you hear a loud boom in the cafeteria. It's a multi-purpose room and they just move walls depending if it needs to be a cafeteria
or out there. And you hear Pepperoni Tony go,
Oh, light show! What's going on here?
They must have hit the drop. You gotta wait for me.
Hey, you gotta...
Pepperoni Tony!
And you don't know what happened, but
that's what you heard. Uh-oh. The incursion's happening.
We need to get out there. Let's go out there and see
what caused that boom. Let's do it as
normally as possible.
I'm just going to, yeah, that sounds great.
All right.
I want to see a normal walk.
Give me a normal walk to that door.
All right.
I'm going to make an athletics roll.
Yeah.
You can also do acrobatics if you wish.
He's dropped the dice off of his table.
This is not a good sign.
That's automatic disadvantage.
It's on the other side of the.
Here's what happened here.
I got a die for you.
He's dropped the dice and it's fallen into
one of my Pelican cases
full of audio cables
and now Will is unable to find it.
Will has found an entirely different dice.
All right, a 15 and a 19.
Wow.
15.
Wow.
So you do a pretty normal looking walk.
Normal usually has like...
I remember when I was a kid,
my dad would give me a hard time
because I waddled when I walked.
Like I did like sort of
a jaunty side to side thing.
Oh, wow.
And so normal is just like... Like it looks a little bit because I waddled when I walked. I did sort of a jaunty side to side thing. Oh, wow. And so normal is just like, it looks a little bit like.
You're cross-country skiing.
It's like the T-1000 is cross-country skiing.
It's essentially a scene from Bambi.
You get up.
And Hermia's flower.
He's trying to push you from the right directions.
What's that movie, Forrest Gump?
How am I doing, guys?
Does this look okay?
Does it look remarkable at all? Mad swag, my man.
I mean, what are you doing? It looks completely...
Okay.
It's happening.
There's a suit up in there. Yeah, I put the thing
on my head. Okay, roll a constitution check.
I got a seven.
You vomit into it. You didn't clean it
before you threw it on.
Oh!
Yep. Sounds wet in there. It wasn't before. It didn't clean it before. Oh, yep.
Sounds wet in there.
It's it wasn't before.
Sounds wetter in there.
Guys, I feel sick.
All right.
Look, Link, what do you want?
You're killing.
I pull it off and I got vomit all over my face and I'm trying to wash my face and I put it back on.
I got a real constitution again.
No, it's fine.
I mean, you're used to it now.
I got to.
I threw up again.
OK. Yeah. You want to 19? It took me three tries, but now i get it i'm like i'm like you don't know
what does this smell so bad why does he do it a few times yeah only because you've coated it in
your own sense which you're used to the smell of their own brew you know yeah now now normal's
gonna have to roll the next time he puts it on this is the most disgusting costume i so i look
at him i said now now now, when you wear that costume,
you are a representative of this school.
You need to be pride personified.
You need to be school spirit personified.
Can you do that?
I will do my best.
Well, that's number one.
That's the first lesson of being a cool teen is doing your best.
You're already on your way.
And I give him a pat on the back.
All right.
When you exit the restroom, you see that the dance floor looks actually kind of similar to what it was before.
Because you didn't see a lot of people dancing.
It was empty. But now they're up against the wall.
Their bodies.
No, they're up against the wall freaking out, the people at the dance.
And right up near the stage where Pepperoni Tony was talking, you expected to see a hole.
They said it was a glory hole.
But these incursion points, they're not quite holes.
It's more like a big dome. This
big, white, pustulating
kind of dome. Oh no.
That looks more than a little like just massive
acne. And from the top of it, from the
head, where the zit juice would come out.
Oh bro! Where would? It's not currently
happening, but instead of that, there is a
writhing black tentacle that has opened up
and has wrapped itself around Pepperoni Tony's
neck. And as you see this,
PT! Get away from him,
you zin!
Alright, get inspiration. You get to use that
for later. As you say that, the
tentacle kind of detaches
from the incursion point, which stays where it is.
And it finishes wrapping itself
around Pepperoni Tony's neck, and it
snakes its way up to his lips
and it starts like applying itself to his lips like lipstick.
And every single time it applies itself,
it gets a little bit shorter and a little bit shorter.
Like it's dissolving itself as it goes into his lips
and his lips are getting bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.
And they're the size of his head now and bigger and bigger.
And he falls over because they're the size of his torso
and his lips kind of split open because they're a little bit chapped.
And from the splits in his lips, some tentacles come out.
His legs are still around, though, which is weird.
He still has his slacks on in his legs.
He's completely intact.
Is Margarita watching this?
Margarita is watching this.
And Margarita goes, oh, no!
Like, she's like, she's.
You're embarrassing me.
Dad!
She goes, dad!
Not in front of my friend!
She's beginning
to completely lose her shit.
Scary is walking over
and unsheathing
her like knife thing,
but she's trying to act
like a normal teen too.
So she's just like,
oh my God, gross.
Nasty.
Ew.
I sure wish that
I
had a hot car
so somebody near you goes like
that girl sounds really normal
I thought that scary chick was weird
turns out she's just like us
did you hear what she said about hot car?
I want a hot car
gonna drive it it's so hot She's just like all of us. Did you hear what she said about Hot Car? I want a Hot Car. I want a Hot Car. I want a Hot Car.
Gonna drive it.
It's so hot.
This weird lip creature that once was Pepperoni Tony looks out onto the dance floor,
and with Pepperoni Tony's voice,
it opens its lips,
but its teeth are still the same size.
They're just really small in the back of its fucking mouth.
Oh, no.
On Earth?
And it goes,
everyone,
two of its tentacles that are coming from its lip,
they lash out,
and they just grab two random kids
that you haven't seen before
and that don't have names.
Honestly,
the kind of people
Nora wants to be.
Jeffrey!
The one nice guy
from varsity soccer.
Jeffrey and Cool Chris!
Oh no!
Jeffrey and Cool Chris,
two of the,
it's Jeffrey,
Cool Chris,
and Sean,
three of the 12
varsity soccer players
and they go,
whoa,
whoa,
whoa, what do we have here? And then three of the tentacles grab soccer players, and they go, whoa, whoa, whoa, what do we have
here? And then three of the tentacles grab
him, and you hear Pepper and Tony's voice from
this monster going, now kiss!
And it pushes the three of them together, their
mouths together, and it goes, yes!
And then the tentacles start spewing out
this adhesive liquid, this red
adhesive liquid that globs
onto their faces, and the guys try to start
pushing away, not because they're like, we were gonna kiss anyway anyway but we don't like being forced to do that and they try to
tear their heads away but the sticky substance has kept them adhered to each other and they go
sean and jeff are the coolest couple in school yeah they're the coolest tribe
they kind of fall over because they can't keep their balance they go
and the tentacles start hovering over the crowd because it's not specifically against you yet.
I think everybody should be allowed to get an action
unless you take an action that's directly harmful to the thing.
And then we go into initiative.
Is there like a microphone?
Yes, it is exactly what Tony Pepperoni was using.
So it's right next to him.
It's knocked over now.
I was on a stand so he could do stand up.
He's type five if he wanted to.
But you can go and get it.
I pull it off the stand because I'm doing a type five.
So about that technical,
huh?
Pretty wild.
All of you should just run.
And then Taylor,
and then Taylor almost on cue pulls the fire alarm.
Yeah.
Run scary out.
And I dropped the mic.
Okay.
So Taylor,
in order to pull the fire alarm,
you'll have to do a dexterity check to see if you can do it quickly enough
before the thing notices you're trying to do that.
Scary, if you succeed a performance roll,
then Taylor will get advantage on that attempt.
Okay.
Natural one.
Dang.
The mic was not on.
Gives you a little electric shock.
I still heard you, Scary.
That was pretty funny. Are you a comic? Yeah, shock. I still heard you scurrying. It was pretty funny.
Are you a comic?
Yeah, the only person
who heard you was
Lincoln, which is
worse than nobody
hearing you.
Nobody ever listens
to me.
It's like nobody
can even hear me
at all.
Okay, so now if you
want to do a check
to pull the fire
alarm without getting
spotted, it could be
stealth, it could be
like acrobatics, like
you're trying to run
over there and do it.
Seven plus one, eight.
Eight.
Okay, so as your hand reaches out toward the fire alarm. I'll tell you exactly what itics. Like you're trying to run over there and do it. Seven plus one, eight, eight. Okay.
So as your hand reaches out toward the fire,
exactly what it is,
my hand goes for it.
And then you see the fire alarm and the camera whips in.
And then you see five bulky Gundam fingers jamming against it.
I'm like,
ah,
dang it.
Ah,
dang it.
Yeah.
You can't make a fist.
And not only that pepperoni,
Tony sees that you're trying to do it and he slaps the fire alarm off the fucking wall like one of his tentacles just and goes into the
wall it's fake and it's just glued there yeah yeah it was never a real fire alarm all right
now normal and link are there any things you would like to do that are not directly
i was just gonna do i have an idea for a weapon and a mechanic for it sure i was gonna open up
my gym bags i always have my gym bag with me and i was gonna switch to my cleats and i was thinking what i could do with cleats is like my unarmed attack
it's like bonus damage but i always have to roll uh athletics check because if it's not on grass
it's slippery and i might fall that's fantastic like bonus damage but i have to do like an
athletics check and if i feel that's great now you are wearing teeny the teen's big floppy feet
i feel like mascots usually usually they're floppy,
and they don't actually go around your feet
because then you'd be standing on...
Oh, so it's just like a fake floppy foot.
Like bell-bottoms type thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like floppy foot.
So yes, I take off my dress shoes,
and I put on my cleats.
Okay, great.
And then I think normal unarmed damage is like a D4.
You're wearing your dress cleats.
I'm wearing my dress cleats.
Normal unarmed damage is a D4.
We'll say it's a 2D4,
but you have to roll athletics and not fall over.
Awesome.
Okay, while you're doing that,
Normal looks at Pepperoni Tony,
ruining yet another school event
with his personal life problems.
Keep at home, Pepperoni.
He feels his love for this school surging through him.
He feels the school spirit inside him,
and his eyes glow white,
and he says, drop, and I cast command.
You speak a one-word command to a creature you can see within range the target must succeed on a wisdom saving throw
the follow the command on its next turn and that is a wisdom 12 he's a vp do we think vps get plus
or minus wisdom is it wise it depends on the school district in the politics do you know i
mean because sometimes you get a bonus up or down then you got a got a 10, so he fails. So he drops? Drop means
drop what you're holding. So he drops the kids.
Oh, sure, sure, sure. Whatever their fucking names were, the
three. Cool Chris, Sean, and Jeffrey.
All right. Thank you. Let me write that down.
By the end of this season, we'll have
all the 12 names. Cool Chris is K's.
K-O-O-L. K-R-I-S.
Yeah. He's a 90s
white boy hip-hop star.
His name is Cool Chris, and he's here to say.
Yeah.
He really loves Jeff.
In a major way.
And Sean-ay.
Sean did it.
I love him, boys.
Sean and Jeff-a-ray.
Yes.
He's got the gift.
He is the one.
Everyone's taking a turn.
Cool Chris, Sean, and Jeffrey are still adhered to each other because of this goo, but they're
just on the ground sort of like rolling around just like. So now, Sean, and Jeffrey are still adhered to each other because of this goo, but they're just on the ground sort of like rolling around
just like,
oh, this is weird.
So now,
everybody please roll initiative.
Yeah.
Ooh, yikes.
Pepper and Tony
got a natural 20.
You know,
sometimes going first
isn't the best.
Yeah, you know.
How do I have initiative
plus three?
15 plus one, 16.
Six plus three,
that's nine.
I got plus two initiative,
so I got four total.
A whopping four. Nice. I got plus two initiative, so I got four total. A whopping four.
Nice.
I got a seven.
Lotta low boys.
Low rollers.
Low rollers.
Roll a little lower.
So Pepperoni Tony goes first.
Because Normal and Taylor
were the two people to do something
that's closest to like offensive toward him.
You can see the lips kind of turn in your direction.
Both of you being, you know.
It's like a Rolling Stones concert.
Or the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to think of.
The big one.
There we go.
He is going to latch out with two tentacles.
And with one of them, he's going to grab Normal.
And with one of them, he's going to grab Taylor.
Taylor would like to use his cosplay
gundam shield that he has to try and block so it is made of cardboard so i'll give you a plus one
to your roll to try and cardboard it's probably a mixture of resin and carbon fiber you get a plus
two but it's definitely a cosplay shield and not like yeah yeah okay so i'm gonna roll just a d20
to see if he grabs you or not and then you'll have to beat that roll.
Is that an attack?
No, I'm not considering it.
Okay.
It's like a grapple.
So we got a 12.
All right, that's fair.
A fair roll.
So both of you please roll
dexterity saving throws
or something to avoid this.
Three plus one plus two is a six.
All right, you did not beat it.
So it just blows through my shield.
I'm like, no, my shield!
Yeah, it blows a hole
in your fucking shield.
It's ruined.
I got an eight or a 10, rather.
What did he roll?
He rolled a 12.
Okay, so here's what I think happens
is normal attempts
a front handspring
to dodge out of it,
but since he's not in the costume,
his weight balance is off.
Even more than it normally is
because you can only
halfway do one to begin with.
So you just end up
flat on your back.
I just fucking turf it
straight into the tentacle.
Great.
So both tentacles grab you
and he goes, now, and he Great. So both tentacles grab you, and he goes, now.
And he spits.
The tentacles, again, emit this red fluid that drips down onto both of you, and he squishes you together.
Now, here's my question.
Can Taylor, as this is happening and seeing that there's going to be goo on his face, activate his visor so his Gundam mask comes down and covers his face. You should have just said
it was already down for 8th oven.
No, but I wouldn't
roll
a sleight of hand roll.
See if you're quick enough. Iron Man that shit?
Natural one.
Natural one plus one.
It closes on your tongue.
Your tongue's just out.
It's that this small amount of vigor and stress
in this environment
is just collapsing his costume around him.
It just shatters off of you.
Yeah, it starts cracking around,
like you're fucking Iron Man
getting pulled out of his fucking suit.
Yes, exactly.
It just cracks all over it.
The tentacles squeeze a little bit tighter,
and then it...
Like Mega Man.
And the fucking suit just shatters off of you entirely.
I saved up one whole week's allowance for this!
And then, yeah, you both get squashed together face-to-face, and he didn't even get you at the right height, so your nose is in Taylor's mouth. Eye socket.
Eye socket, yeah.
Sounds like a teenager's first kiss, all right.
Yeah, pretty much.
I was going to ask, this red liquid, what's its consistency?
It's like jelly. It looks like
strawberry jelly. It's not like fruit punch. It's like you just got hit
in Call of Duty. It's like, oh, I got
a GMO. It's like alien
goo from the movie Alien and
Aliens and Alien 3 and Alien Resurrection,
but it's red. No, because that's like acidic.
No, I just meant like consistency.
Oh, the goo that they leave, the not acid stuff.
Yes, okay, yeah, It's kind of like that
Sure
Okay I'm just trying
Again I'm just trying
To say something
That's relatively neutral
And not that gross
Like strawberry jelly
Okay yeah
But also Prometheus
And Covenant
Oh that's true
Yeah don't forget
Alien vs Predator
Alien vs Predator 2
That's true
That's true
I think there's a different
Consistency in Alien vs Predator 2
Predator 2
Predator 1
Whoever wins we lose
That's a great tagline Predators by Shane Black Or Robert Rodriguez. Predator 2. Predator 2, Predator 1. Whoever wins, we lose. That's a great tagline.
Predators by Shane Black, or Robert Rodriguez.
The Predator by Shane Black.
Oh, they definitely, in the future, they have a thing.
It's to catch a predator, and it's just the same show.
It's the same show, but to spice it up,
Chris Hansen comes out in an alien costume.
Xena Moore will be like, why don't you have a seat?
Watch out!
Yeah, and then as you sit down.
I saw this text message sent to LV426
saying, you are...
Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
but all the eggs on LV426 are underage.
It's just a big
buff man sitting in an apartment
strapped and shirtless
and a predator
opens the door.
You are one ugly motherfucker.
I would never have sex with you.
And with his second action,
you're going to hear a voice that is not Pepperoni Tony.
It's come from that lip.
And it goes, we would speak.
And you see something begin to crawl out of the mouth of Pepperoni Tony.
You actually see a lot of little things.
They look like doubled up worms at first,
like two worms stuck together,
until you realize they're tiny pairs of lips
that are squirming and wriggling,
and they're bright white,
and they are starting to crawl along the floor
towards the kids.
Now it is Taylor's turn.
Taylor, unfortunately, you are stuck to normal right now,
and you can try to break free
with a DC 16 strength check.
Ooh, that's...
Can I do a DC draw my sword cane and do
a cool slash check give me a sleight of hand roll to see if you can reach it because it also like
drip down your body so like your fronts are stuck together too 12 plus 1 13 13 something wriggles
free maybe not totally yes yes let's say you've managed to unstick one arm there's nothing in it
and especially down up you don't't have the Gundam suit on,
but your arm is free at least,
and maybe next turn you can grab your sword.
Is there anything else you'd like to do on this turn?
Like a free action,
you know,
looking at stuff,
talking at stuff?
I like the idea that I'm getting tossed around a little bit.
We together got to the cooking desk!
All right,
Lincoln,
it is your turn. We weren't invited!
Okay, so there's just like a big human size like six foot tall lip crashing things you're not invited to and there's like two tentacles and they're holding normal and taylor yes and then
there's also tons of tiny lips coming out of the floor yeah we'll say there's 30 of these like kind
of cockroach size squirming worm lip things heading towards
the kids oh no i mean the kids are probably naturally running away at this point yes the
kids are running and screaming fire alarm sorry i should explain oh my god now the fire alarms
now we gotta go yeah no the kids are already trying to stream and get out of the cafeteria
but also in their panic some of them are like running up against the wrong doors the kids are
like smooshing up against each other by the way as if the sight of two adults doing fortnight dances wouldn't
have cleared that room an hour ago i'm gonna do divine smite which is cool it is pretty cool it
says melee weapon but i'm just gonna say like your cleats are a melee yeah it's my melee weapon so
i'm gonna leap in the air and like ground essentially i'm doing a ground pound because
when you do a melee a weapon attack you can expend one spell slot beth it's a video game it's a video game
not it's a video like mario does a ground pound you know i'm princess peach when you hit a
Yoshi has a ground pound wherever he wants all the time you can expend one spell slot to deal
2d8 extra radiant damage to target plus 1d8 for each spell higher than first plus 1d8 against
undead or fiends point being is like it feels like it does damage to the target, plus 1d8 for each spell higher than first, plus 1d8 against undead or fiends.
Point being, it feels like it does damage to
everybody around the damage point.
Are they undead or fiends? What are fiends?
Fiend is like demon people, and they're not.
That would be like, you know. So I could only just squish one of them?
You're trying to do an AoE? AoE around them.
It didn't sound like that was AoE. Is it AoE?
It's extra radiant damage to the target, plus
1d8 for each spell.
That's a lot of damage to one target, it sounds like.
So you can do that to Pepperoni Tony if you wanted to,
but if you're just doing it on one worm,
you're going to annihilate one worm.
I'm going to try to bicycle kick.
I'm going to do a cool bicycle kick in the air
against the tentacle holding normal.
Okay.
What does AOE stand for?
Because I thought of a sexual way thing.
What is your version?
I'll tell you the real one first.
It's area of effect. So instead of a shot, it's a thing. What is your version? I'll tell you the real one first. It's area of effect.
So instead of a shot, it's a grenade.
What is your thing?
Anal oral art.
Anal oral what?
What was the E?
Ejaculation.
Still the wrong order to do,
at least the first two.
That's a shirt.
We can make a shirt with that.
You can't take that from us, Tony Khan.
WB, stop taking that one anytime soon. Yeah, I'll still use Divine Smite on that though because it feels like That's a shirt. We can make a shirt with that. You can't take that from us Tony Khan. WLB is not taking
that one anytime soon.
Yeah I'll still use
Divine Smite on that
though because it feels
like it's more powerful.
Yes for sure.
So first I'm going to
roll athletics to see
if I slip.
Okay.
I got an 11.
In future it will be 12
but I want you to do
a cool thing.
Okay.
So I'll do 2d8
extra radiant damage
which I'd normally do
2d4.
2d4 and then 2d8.
So first is 4. So then 4 now plus 2d4 2d4 and then 2d8 first is four
So then for now plus 2d8 I double rolled one on the 2d8
Yeah, I got six you got a six yeah
You hate to see it one of your spikes goes like into it
And sort of cuts clean through but then it kind of heals back up a little bit like it hurt
But it's not,
you didn't do anything.
You didn't, I should have just let you fucking whiff it.
It would have been a better day for all of us if you had. It would have been cooler to whiff.
Careful, Link.
He's got self-healing regenerative abilities.
Now it is Normal's turn.
I am stuck to Taylor,
and like my lips are on his forehead
or something like that.
Aw.
His eyeball.
Basically imagine that you two stood together,
somebody put glue on the front of both of you,
and then just went boop. It's like I'm on his cheekbone or something like that yes all
right so we communicate just as we talk the vibrations yeah like those bone conducting
headphones that people have but it's that it's like i sounds like hey whoa sounds like you're
in my head hey can you hear this but i realized because all of my spells have v for verbal as a
condition i can't cast any spells while I'm stuck to your fucking head.
So I'm going to try to wriggle off of,
I guess I'll try to do that strength check.
No, here's what you should do.
What?
You're the mascot, right?
Mm-hmm.
Do the worm.
The worm will let you unstick.
Oh, yes, that's great.
Yeah, that's fantastic.
I'll give you advantage for the strength check
because that's a really good idea.
I do Taylor.
I go, hang on, Taylor, I'm going to do the worm. Wait, wait, I'll give you advantage for the strength check because that's a really good idea. I go, hang on, Taylor.
I'm going to do the worm.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
And then I'd start doing the worm to bust out of here.
Oh, that's great because my acrobatics is higher than my strength.
So I'd like to use an acrobatics roll.
Sure.
Ooh, I got a 20.
Oh, a natural 20 or a dirty 20.
Great.
You managed to worm, which I assume means that the back of Taylor's head is like,
ow, ow.
Are we vertical?
Because maybe it's like a vertical
worm. Oh, it's a vertical worm. That's better.
It's a new move normal's been practicing in secret.
The vertical worm. Great.
The worm. The V-worm.
The V-worm.
Okay, great. So yeah, you like do the
V-worm and you can feel the... This feels so
weird. The crack, crack, crack of this
gel that it was beginning to harden is now
shattering as you do it.
And now the two of you are separated.
I love the idea that I have a normal outline now.
Everything else is right there.
The edges of it have the sticky stuff,
but now I have the outline of another.
Of another person on your... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, so you are now free.
Does that count as my movement or my action?
Let's say that's a movement.
Okay, in that case,
I am going to cast Guiding Bolt.
A flash of light streaks towards a creature of your choice within range.
Pepperoni Tony.
It's a ranged spell attack.
So how do I do that?
Do you, uh...
Oh, here it is.
Here it is.
Plus four spell attack.
Great.
So I just make an attack.
You roll a d20.
You add a four to it.
All right, I got a 20.
Jesus.
Okay, so what happens to him?
He takes four d6 radiant damage.
And the next attack roll made against this target
before the end of my next turn has advantage
thanks to the mystical dim light
glittering on the target until then.
Jeez Louise, okay.
Which for our purposes, we will say,
takes the form of four arrows around him
like a lock-on target in a 3D action adventure game.
Fantastic.
When you strafe, you circle around him.
Yeah, quick, lock on with your next attack.
Scary, it is your turn.
Okay, I'm going to cast True Strike on Tony Pepperoni.
You point a finger at a target in range.
Your magic grants you a brief insight into the target's defenses.
On your next turn, you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target,
provided that this spell hasn't ended.
Jeez Louise.
The next two attacks against Pepperoni Tony
are going to get advantage.
What insight does she get into his defenses?
That he's really insecure about how much his wife loves him.
Mainly stuff he already knew.
He's insecure about dying alone
because all of his dad and his grandparents
have all died alone and, you know,
hurt people hurt people.
It is now Pepperoni Tony's turn again.
And for one of his actions, he's little wormies.
There's a couple of girls that are trying to get out through one of the emergency exits
that's just for some reason stuck because this is a shitty, horrible school.
This school is just like a little trap.
There's even a teacher there trying to open the door and it won't budge.
The voice goes, worms, move.
And the lips move toward, and they crawl up the legs of these kids and the teacher.
And they like go up under their clothes and they climb up up their chests they're like the fucking scarabs from uh mummy except except
with clothes not skin with not skin and then it gets to the lips and then it becomes like the
scarabs from the money and it goes they get onto the lips and then they attach themselves with a
loud like crunch almost like you could see these like like these little barbs come out of the sides
of these these white lips and then you see almost like veins begin to like appear from the lips moving upward throughout the heads
of these two girls and this older teacher.
And simultaneously they go stuck still
and they put their hands down
and they look into the sky and they go.
And then for his other action,
he sees that you two have broken up and he goes,
no, I said kiss!
And he is going to use his tentacles to attack twice.
And he's going to aim at, because he saw that Normal did the vertiworm?
The vertical worm.
The worm.
He's going to try to attack you two times with his tentacles.
Just a slap across the chops.
I'm going to cast in reaction protection while wielding a shield,
which Lincoln never goes anywhere without shin guards
because those bad boys, it's like a piano
player protecting their hands. You got to protect
at all costs. It's like a piano player
protecting their shins.
Everyone's got shins. He puts those
shin guards on his forearms, you know, like
cool shields. And he's going to do
protection ninja style.
Dude, I did that so hard. I was like, I need a sub-zero
costume. So you can use your
reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack roll disadvantage okay cool so the first one will get
disadvantage that's a 16 for the first roll four for the second roll so the first tentacle tech
just you you dodge it expertly as it zooms towards your head the second attack roll
is uh what's your ac 18 18 oh wow so this one 18 that's really high. Is that too high? That's way high. Mine's 11, dog.
Mine's 12.
While I was figuring out his armor class, I'll say I want to take back that I did not
take my shin guards off and put them on my arms.
That's stupid.
No, I assumed you would just use your shin guards.
I actually deflected it with my leg.
So yeah, that first one, I like kicked the tentacle away.
You know that move Sammo Hung does?
You know what I'm talking about?
That like sweep, that crescent kick sweep.
Yes.
And then, yes.
Yep.
Yep.
Okay.
I have scale mail mail which is plus
four because remember that lark but that's just my but you're not wearing that right now shit
that's right you're just wearing normal yeah no normally i have i have a scale mail and a shield
uh which gives me another plus two yeah which you have one of those things right now but i do not
have those right now wait so normally when you're like geared up you have an ac of 20 i guess i
probably don't have a shield because i don't know what shield normal would have like other
than like maybe a backpack full of heavy i mean the mascot outfit's really fluffy but that would
be the scale mail that's the scale now i'm cool with the scale up yeah but yeah no so you're
right so minus four is uh 12 cool and you got it wait so you have plus four matt no i'm 13 no but
you're wearing the mascot costume right now. Yes. You do.
That's correct.
Cool, my age is 17 now.
For the first time outside of your mascot uniform in very, very long,
I hope this doesn't dissuade you from ever taking it off again
because the tentacle hits you really fucking hard in the head
and it is going to do...
What?
How many dice?
11 damage.
Oh, all right.
Are you in death saving?
No, I have four health left.
Wow.
Okay.
And yeah,
there were going to be two of those going for you.
I told you I wasn't safe outside of the costume.
All right.
Uh,
Taylor is your turn.
I flop as normally as I can to the ground,
like the way I,
a normal kid would when they get,
but we're all performance by a performance.
I got a 10.
Ooh.
You look like somebody who's in a high school play where they do the crumple thing
where you don't take any,
where it doesn't hurt,
where you kind of like fall.
Have you guys ever fallen on stage?
Yeah, so you do like almost like an S.
Yeah, you make an S with yourself as you hit the ground.
And as you open your eyes on the ground,
you can see Hermit the Unworthy just kind of going.
You also see Link, who's a master at knowing.
I was about to say,
I was like, you fall like a soccer player.
Don't buy it. Don't buy it. What the fuck is Hermie doing during I was like, you fall like a soccer player. I was like, don't buy it.
Don't buy it.
What the fuck is Hermie doing
during this fight?
Hermie is watching
a great interest.
I'm a study of human behavior,
but more than that,
I would like to be a study
of whatever this is.
This is truly fascinating.
He opens the door
on one of the rooms
and helps people out
because he's a nice guy now.
Taylor's going to try the move again.
He's going to try and draw his concealed sword cane.
You can just do that because you're free now.
I know.
So I'm going to do a cool swipe on it.
I guess I have a short sword.
I think that's what we're calling it.
Sure.
So I'll do a hit to DC.
That is a five plus three. I've been rolling so bad this season. Five plus three, eight sword short to DC. That is a five plus three.
I've been rolling so bad this season.
Five plus three,
eight short short to hit.
So yeah,
the,
the sort short sinks into the,
don't mock me.
Oh,
did I say it wrong too?
Did we both say it wrong?
You said sort short.
Oh,
whoops.
We're buddies now.
Buddies.
Jinx poke.
You owe me a Coke.
Oh wait,
you have advantage.
Do I?
Yeah.
Oh yes,
that's right.
Because of what normal did.
Oh,
okay.
All right. So let's roll again. Sort short. The, wait, you have advantage. Do I? Yeah. Oh, yes, that's right. Because of what normal did. Oh, okay. All right.
Let's roll again.
The short sword.
The short sword.
Harrison Ford wielded a short sword
in the swarthy shores of Swarthmore.
That's a good one.
That's pretty good.
Did you just make that up?
That's off the top of the fucking thing.
That's really good.
That's a real tongue twister.
Harrison Ford used a short sword.
I honestly thought you got it
from like a British sketch comedy show or something. No, no, no. That's Hermes warmup. That's a real tongue twister. Harrison Ford used I honestly thought you got it from like a British sketch comedy
show or something.
No, no, no.
That's Hermes warm up.
That's his vocal warm up.
Harrison Ford
was a Swords for
Oh, darn.
You'll get it next time.
All right.
That was a 16 plus 3, 19.
That'll do it.
So, yeah, you cut off
one of the tentacles.
One of the ends
of the tentacles
just comes off.
What's the damage?
Hold on.
Slow the fucking roll.
I do the swipe
and then I sheathe it back in i stand
there and then behind me it goes yeah and then you know the blood sprays up everywhere and i'm like
looks at whatever how much damage did you do damage 1d6 plus three four seven damage all right
and then i'd like to very quickly scurry behind link because i know he's a big buff boy all right
tall well speaking of a very tall berry buff buff Link, it's Link's turn.
How much did he get hit for?
A normal got hit for 11 damage.
Yeah, I have four health left.
I'm going to do lay on hand,
so I'm going to put Teeny the Teen's big old mascot head
right in front of your face.
I'm going to say, hey, buddy.
What a horrifying vision.
This is the last thing you're going to see before you die.
Maybe on me, but really, he's in you.
And I put my hand on you and i do lay
on hands and i use all 10 to heal you 10 great you kill me 10 okay so um normal has like such
a specific pull do you know like the fucking shot of mercy that they use in all the overwatch stuff
versus all haloed in the back yes yes it's like that yes Yes. And Normal's eyes go wide.
And like, you can see the gold.
You can see Teeny the Teen's eyes reflected in Normal's eyes.
It's the first time we've seen Teeny the Teen talk to him.
Yes, it's the first time I've gotten a pep talk from someone else.
And so here's what I'd like to say.
In your dying moments, yeah.
So I take 10 hit points.
I'm now going to roll 1d4 psychic damage because I'm like, Link is a better Teeny the Teen.
Oh, that's great.
I think it's 2d4
2d4 yeah he meant he means a lot to you as a character like teeny that is i took eight
so you see me you see it all play out on my face you see normal's eyes get really big and wide and
hopeful and then like it just falls to this kind of agonizing grief and i look a little better
than i started i'm like thanks teeny oh that's fantastic so you're at six hp now delightful
glad i used all my leon hands two hp all right normal it's your turn okay rattled by that and
remembering that i'm supposed to be a normal kid right now like which means i probably shouldn't
do any freaky spell stuff,
because that's weird.
My dad probably would be proud of me if I did that.
So I channel my anger at this kind of humiliating moment,
and I just fucking run at...
Pepperoni Tony.
Pepperoni Tony.
I'm going to swing...
Now he's Puckeroni Tony.
Puckeroni Tony.
God damn it.
I'm just going to run.
I don't have any weapons, though.
You can improvise a weapon from something that might be at a dance.
What does Pepperoni Tony's wife do for a living?
She is a lawyer.
Pizza lawyer.
Yeah, she is Papa John's personal lawyer.
Papa John is in an iron lung still being kept alive.
Fucking white sauce being pumped into his face.
He's like the emperor from Warhammer 40k.
They have to sacrifice 100 pizzas
every day to keep him going.
100 franchisees, dude.
They pull these pizzas.
It's considered a great honor to get to be sacrificed
to Papa John.
I'm just going to run up and start
punching him with my two fists.
What is an unarmed strike?
It's probably two. It should be in your actions. It should be in your What is an unarmed strike? What is that? It's probably two.
It should be in your actions.
It should be in your thing
as an unarmed strike bonus,
like next to your ranged attack bonus.
All right.
I got a 20 for my hit.
That'll do it.
Roll damage.
It just says two bludgeoning damage.
You did two damage to him.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
And I go, ah!
You punched a big set of lips.
Your fist just goes
into one of the big lips,
and he goes
oh scary is your turn i go closer to pepperoni tony and i say hey tony your wife helped me out
with some like free law stuff the other day she said i had a keen legal mind when's the last time
she said anything to you oh my my god! Holy shit, we have
the strongest weapon in the team, girl!
Okay, okay, hold on, hold on, hold on.
That's amazing, and you'll get an advantage for it
because that's definitely an attack of, like, psychic damage or something.
But,
we're going to have to do a roll to see how
scary found that information out.
That his wife's a lawyer. Lincoln would know.
Ooh, yeah, that's true. You could use a bonus action to ask
Lincoln something. Yeah, you know what?
That's what it is.
The way you asked me, you actually asked Lincoln,
so do that instead.
Hey, Link, what does Pepperoni Tony's wife do for a living?
Uh, I forget.
She said, yeah, I don't know.
She's a lawyer.
She's a lawyer.
She's a lawyer.
She's a really cool pizza lawyer.
A lawyer.
A pizza lawyer.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Okay, perfect. We finally adjudicated the great debate
of whether pepper really belongs on pizza.
Chuck E. Cheese Esquire.
Yeah, her name's Charles.
Charles.
Like the girl from Pushing Daisies.
So you can go ahead and roll an attack,
and then it's going to have advantage
because of your spell last time,
and because of how brutal this was,
it's going to do double damage.
Is this like a spell?
Is this like Dissonant Whispers or something?
Yeah, I don't know.
Are you doing a regular attack or a spell?
I was planning on stabbing him.
You can just stab him twice a strike.
That's what it is.
I just wanted to get him a little off guard.
No, that's great.
That's definitely worth double damage.
Fuck my life.
Well, you have advantage, first of all.
Uh-oh.
Beth is burying her hands.
Oh, my God.
I got a three is my best roll
oh
kill me
I'm sorry
yeah I'm sorry
so uh
you try to do that
you try to stab at
Pepperoni Tony
and he grabs
your hand
and he goes
my wife not talking to me
was one of the
happiest moments of my life
I only realized
what I'd lost
just recently
maybe that's why
wait
maybe that's why she, wait,
maybe that's why she slept with my brother
because I stopped talking to her.
Shit, I'm learning a lot.
Fuck you.
And then he's going to, he's going to once again,
so it's his turn now.
So you're next to him with your knife out
and normal's next to him having just punched him.
And so another tentacle is going to come out
of another new split in his lips.
He's going to try to grab both of you.
And he goes, stinky boy and goth girl.
Ah, the match made in heaven.
Yes!
And he's going to roll.
Okay, so that's for one of you.
So he rolled a 13 on grabbing scary.
So can you roll evasion or dexterity saving throw
or something to try to avoid that?
I rolled another one.
Oh, no.
That's lame.
Oh, shit.
Okay, so he immediately grabs you around the stomach.
And then normal, give me a roll.
You're trying to beat a 17.
Dexterity signature?
Yeah.
Oof.
I got a, wait, I'm going to burn my advantage.
Yeah, do it.
Or my inspiration, rather.
17 is what I got to beat?
Unfortunately.
Got a 21.
Woo!
Nice!
Okay, so what do you do to evade or block or deflect this tentacle as it comes at you?
Normal is still like just fucking reeling from fucking seeing his dad, you know, tell him that he's not proud of him.
Just seeing Link be a better teeny the teen than him.
And he just thinks, oh, what's the most normal teenager thing I could do right now?
And he just rolls his eyes and flops dramatically out of the ground.
I wish I was dead.
And the tentacle goes straight over you
as you hit the ground.
And he goes,
I only got one!
One's not enough!
Wormies to me!
And the two little girls and the teacher
run toward Puckeroni Tony,
and they just start punching at Scary,
who is restrained.
So they're each going to do an attack.
I'm going to use my cool shin guard shield
to at least try to give one of them who's the
strongest i'll do disadvantage on the strongest probably the adult definitely the adult okay so
yeah disadvantage on the adult okay so the first girl uh what's your ac scary 12 so the first girl
misses completely she just goes like and like slaps at you but it doesn't hurt at all the second
one crits and does 14 damage oh my gosh i know no, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Seven damage.
Sorry.
And then the adult is going to attack with disadvantage.
And he whiffs entirely.
He just goes, he tries to throw a punch,
but he's like the English teacher.
So he's never done that before in his life.
And he just, he just whiffs on you.
If you make fun of English teachers,
we're going to lose like half of our audience.
I only said that because I was going to be an English teacher, so I assumed that's what I assumed all of them were like me.
Oh, you would have been an interesting English teacher.
Interesting is a good word for saying a very short period of time I would be an English
teacher.
I would be fired very quickly, I assume.
How?
Nobody's ever had it worse than me.
All right.
It's Pepperoni Tony's turn.
This should be a moment where like the stakes get higher like something more should happen okay so what he does uh so
pepperoni tony with his uh his final uh action that i'm just giving him right now
he's got vp action yeah he's got a vp actually he could have been taken previously but he forgot to
and now he remembered so he uses his vice principal action to pull the anti-fire alarm.
It's like he realized he left a cupcake in the teacher's lounge.
He's like, ooh, is that extra little spice at the end of the day?
Yeah, you know what?
Yeah, he left a cupcake in the teacher's lounge on the stove and left the stove on.
You'll know what's in there.
Anything can be in the teacher's lounge.
Why did he leave a cupcake on the
I like my cupcakes
when they're hot
a little crispy
I'm not gonna use a microwave
what am I a poor person
I'm not gonna use a microwave
I'm the vice principal
I deserve a stone cupcake
every now and again
cupcakes like I like my ex-wife
on a stone
not talking to me
I'm silent
I'm silent
in my brother's mouth
oh my god
so he says that
and in that moment
the cupcake explodes
in the teacher's lounge.
So did her brother.
And he actually did this
the very first turn
of the fight
and the fire's been
slowly creeping
towards the cafeteria
like working its way
from the teacher's lounge
to the cafeteria
and now the fire
has like gotten
to the cafeteria
and now the rafters,
the roof of the cafeteria
is on fire
and this entire
cafeteria is. Yes, exactly.
You get inspiration as well because that was something
people said in my high school. Yay!
Would you say that this fire has gone from the window
to the walls?
Like this other dance song? I've never heard that
song before. What? I'm joking.
I'm joking.
But you just had inspiration so I'm not doing it again.
You were so convincing!
You had nerve! So the roof is on fire and in But you just had inspiration, so I'm not doing it again. You were so convincing. You hadn't heard of it.
So the roof is on fire, and in three more turns,
this cafeteria is going to burn down.
I would like to say that I've been playing this character wrong.
I am now going to cast Zephyr Strike.
And that's the way I cast it, by saying,
Zephyr Strike.
Okay, what is that?
Moves me like the wind.
My movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
We don't do that fucking bullshit on this podcast.
Once before the spell ends,
I can give myself advantage on one weapon attack roll.
The attack deals an extra 1d8 force on the hit.
And then whether or not I hit or miss,
my walking speed goes up by 30 feet,
so I'm just a little faster.
So I'm going to cast Zephyr Strike.
So you can definitely blink to him in that one move then.
Yeah, same thing.
I'm doing another one of these cool sword draw moves.
So I did 17.
That'll hit him.
And I also forgot that I have, as a ranger,
a fighting style called dueling,
which is I'm wielding a melee weapon in one hand
and no other weapons.
So I get a gain plus two bonus damage rolls.
So I'm burning that thing that I just did
for the advantage on the 17.
So I'm going to hit it with a plus two
and then a plus one D8.
Okay, so rule all that and tell me how much damage it makes.
Three plus two plus five, 10 damage.
Describe what you do with your sword,
and I'll describe what happens to Pepperoni Tony.
So I go, this is going to require a more powerful jutsu.
Fuck, I really like Taylor.
This is, by the way, this is what's going to happen.
So Taylor right now kind of
has a voice like this when his voice drops he's gonna sound a little bit more like an anime voice
oh my god what do you think guys i don't know
but not yet not yet you have that to look forward to that's like god that's like being on a train
and you know the tracks are out three miles down the road but also the brakes are broken and there's nothing you can do you just wait for the fucking
pain to come try to hold your anticipation in everybody oh it's awful will is not a fan of this
voice beth doesn't look like she's a fan of this voice you'll find out from our listeners how much
of a fan of the voice they are and then that will either have no effect whatsoever or deeply uh
convince you to keep doing it all right so yeah So what happens is now when I do the sword, I unsheathe the sword entirely.
And I do like a cool like spinny move thing, like a figure eight.
And then as I'm doing that, there's like cool like lines and wind and stuff and everything.
I do the same move.
I basically just run forward slash.
I go, ah!
I go, snapper!
Strike!
And I, you know, push forward on it.
And like I hold the pose, pose of course because you have to hold
a pose and does hella damage dude all right yeah so once again looks like I'm the one dealing damage
for this crew so the 10 points of damage that you do to him you make the slash and nothing
nothing happens like you've waved your sword a lot and then it's nothing and then I'm on see a
line away I'm unfazed
of course of course
you're not even looking
at him my life is my
soul and then just
wait just wait wait
scary keep watching
scary keep watching
scary you see a line
appear on his lips a
little red line that
gets a little bit
thicker starts to fill
with a liquid and then
another line another
line and crisscross
crisscross crisscross
and much like that guy
at the beginning of the first Resident Evil movie,
the lips turn into just little cubes
that just down
as you completely cut up his lips.
He had exactly 10 HP left.
You did enough damage to beat him.
You've defeated him.
And all that remains is
the rest of Pepperoni Tony minus his lip.
He just doesn't have lips now.
He has two big bloody wounds
where his lips used to be.
Is Resident Evil the
one with the scary dogs?
Yes.
I don't watch that
because I don't like
scary dogs.
I don't like dogs
being scary.
No, that's totally fair.
There are many other
reasons not to watch
the first Resident Evil
movie, but he is now
out of it.
All you have to deal
with is these two
teenage girls and the
teacher who have the
lip warmies on them.
The other little lip
cockroaches are like
dead or something?
Yeah, the kids have been stomping on them
and stuff. They're still good. Yeah, there's, yeah, fuck it.
The kids stomped them all, except for those three, because
he only spent that action to use them. And then Taylor
spins around, stands up straight, and goes,
call me Chapstick, because I cut the shit
out of those lips.
That's kind of the opposite of what Chapstick does.
Chapstick has a lot of fiberglass in it or something.
I just know that you have to use bird's bees.
And no, seriously, look it up. Everyone says Chapstick's bad for you. I don't want to know this. Is it not bad for you? Is it in it or something. I just know that you have to use Burt's Bees. No, seriously, look it up.
Everyone says Chapsic's bad for you.
I don't want to know this.
Is it not bad for you?
Is it not bad for you?
I've heard this.
I'm addicted to it, so I, yeah, I just, yeah.
I don't know.
This is not stuff I wanted to know about.
That one-liner was off the top of the dome,
but it may not be factually correct.
I was just doing my best.
It is Link's turn now.
Okay, so I mean, I guess I'll tack the lips on the teacher.
Okay.
I'll do an unarmed strike. I try to kick this teacher's turn now. Okay. So, I mean, I guess I'll tack the lips on the teacher. Okay. I'll do an unarmed strike.
I tried to kick this teacher in the face.
Yeah.
Well, you know.
Yeah.
I'm going to do a targeted kick.
Oh, you got to do that kick like Guile does in Street Fighter.
Does that full backflip?
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
No, I got three, though.
That's not what Guile does.
I kick her in the head instead of the lips.
Yeah.
You can just kick her in the face.
What teacher is it?
You were doing it for the teacher? Yeah. The English teacher. Yeah, you could just kick her in the face. What teacher is it? You were doing it for the teacher?
The English teacher, yeah. We came up with a name
earlier today, Beth and all of us, which was
Nicholas Nipple Bust. Oh yeah,
Nicholas Nipple Bust, please.
Okay, cool. So Mr. Nipple Bust takes
some cleats to the side of his face
and it hurts him. He's not great.
So the fire is still progressing
down the roof.
Yeah, it's down the windows, to the walls, to the sweat pores. To the flames, drips down the roof. Windows, walls, et cetera. Yeah, it's down the windows, to the walls,
to the sweat pores down.
To the flames, drips down the balls.
During this ball.
Yeah, during this ball.
The three lip-possessed people,
they're still looking upward,
and they say in these weird,
shrieky, simultaneous voices,
they go,
Sound is dark.
We're in a family.
Send a cash to us.
We're in a family.
Send cash to us. And then the lips just wilt up like a dry leaf, just kind of like they lose all their moisture and they crinkle up and they fall off of the people.
And the people are essentially back to normal.
Like they've just killed themselves, essentially.
Not the people, but the lips.
So now everyone is dead.
Everyone's dead?
Not dead.
Sorry.
All the fight is over.
Pepperoni Tony's like, what the fuck was that?
What was that? Oh, that's terrible. That was absolutely terrible. Are his dead? Not dead, sorry. All the fight is over. Pepperoni Tony's like, what the fuck was that? What was that?
Oh, that's terrible.
That was absolutely terrible.
Are his lips still fucked up?
Yeah, but that's what it would sound like
if you didn't use your lips
when you talked anyway.
But yeah, so the only...
And he was very careful
to voice a non-lipped character.
Yeah, I know what I'm doing.
But the only thing that remains
is the big incursion pimple.
I've seen some videos
on what to do with this.
I mean, yeah.
Well, normally it seems
like your thing, right?
So you should.
Yeah.
You need to lance it
before, like, you pop it.
Yeah, we need to lance it.
What about this knife?
We should disinfect
the knife first.
Anybody got, like,
a Clorox wipe or whatever?
I think I can do something,
but everyone's got to
close their eyes and not look
because it's, like like not a normal thing
to do. DJ, DJ, turn the music back
on, please. The DJ presses
a button and, um... What was the outlaw
dance? The outlaw dance?
The dance that we said they weren't allowed to do. Oh,
the whatnot? The whatnot. He plays
everybody whatnot. I go, teeny the teen here is about to do the
whatnot, and then Lincoln starts pulling off his
whatnot skills. So everybody will
look at him instead of.
You're defiling.
Yeah, Pepperoni Tony sees it and goes, Pepperoni Tony hates it, which makes normal even happier.
He's looking at you in the Teen Costume and goes, normal, that is an attention.
We do not whatnot here.
Make a performance roll for the whatnot.
You stepped in the wrong fucking zone.
I don't know why I said that.
Plus it's the wrong performance.
But I got rolled a 19.
So you're actually pretty good at the
whatnot.
Yeah.
Everybody thinks
that normal has
had sex before.
So the crowd's
going crazy.
Normal seeing the
fucking link just
basically outclass
him in every
part.
I didn't even
thought about
doing the whatnot.
Everyone is
loving this new.
Yeah.
They actually like
fucking teeny to teen now.
Provocative. Go teeny.
You're a rebel.
Also Link feels the power of
everybody not knowing it's him. He gets it.
He gets why normal is. He pulls down
the sign that says no what nots. He's like
tearing it up and using the two halves.
So I did another
2d8 psychic damage.
So I'm down to 3 health.
Normal just staggers, and then he just takes the knife from Scary.
Well, I don't know if I'm letting you take it.
Just let me do it.
Just let me do it.
Okay.
All right.
Here you go.
And then Normal channels all of his frustration and failure and anger and resentment into one Herculean blow as he jumps up in the air
and goes, ah!
And stabs the knife into the zip.
Everything goes quiet.
And we zoom in on the fucking, the knife point
as it gets closer and closer.
And the second it makes the tiniest little pinprick,
a fucking atom from the knife
touches the top of this bulbous, tight, like,
putrescent,
undulating head of a pimple.
It pops and goes.
The entire inside of this cafeteria gets coated in this white and gray
substance.
People are like pushed up against the wall.
I want to say that Taylor was taking like a selfie and like
pointing behind them to text to Erica
being like, you missed out on the real cool thing.
Yeah, and you can see the juice coming
at you. And yeah, it's dripping.
It's like at the end of fucking Ghostbusters where everybody's covered
in the Stay Profit Marshmallow Man.
And yeah, it's dripping from the ceilings and stuff like that. But thankfully
that means it's actually put out the fire.
All this juice.
And so everyone's going hey I'm screaming
they're screaming
it's so weird
they hate it and stuff like that
what is normal feeling right now
what's normal look like
just numbness
just complete emptiness
then you barely even notice
Hermione the Unworthy
puts his hand on your shoulder
and he goes
well normal
you popped a zit
you got humiliated
and you didn't have fun
at your first dance
that sounds pretty normal to me
oh all our days whisked away And you didn't have fun at your first dance. That sounds pretty normal to me. Oh!
All our days whisked away
But is there something more to say?
You know that no one knows us better than ourselves
I used to tell myself it'll be all right
Pretty lies let me 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 got to pick ourselves up and say
Not today, no, not today
We live for tomorrow
Bake, steal, 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.
