Since his death in 2009, the world has struggled with how Michael Jackson should be remembered,
as the King of Pop, or as a monster.
The new podcast Think Twice, Michael Jackson, offers a fresh perspective on the art and
the artist, his life, his work, and his legacy.

Hey folks, it's Craig and I'm feeling a little better.
I can't take my temperature since I don't currently have a body, but I think my fever
broke.
One or two more good sneezes in my little excursion through time should come do an end.
Oh wow, this isn't my history at all.
It's the mysterious man, and he's on Earth.
Honestly, that cannot be good. I'm going to have to look into that when I get back,
but for now, enjoy this full episode of Offices and Bosses Season 3. You know, the show
where Arnie the Human used to door the wizard and Chunth the Talking Badger, sit in a tavern
in the magical world of food and play the role-playing game Offices and Bosses, with the help
of a keeper of the game lore and office manager and a rotating cast of magical guests.

Well, I guess I'll throw it over to Mr. Creepy Voice.
I miss our dynamic.
Greetings, kind of person who enjoys things like this.
It's me, your friendly authoritative voice, hiding out in a secret government facility,
mostly because the Taco Bar on the fourth floor really slaps, welcoming you to season 3 of offices and bosses, known henceforth as Chief Executive Offices and Bosses,
the office-based role-playing game, residents of Foon in Joy, in between their home's
buns stabs at maintaining a storyline.
To answer the question you're probably thinking, it's quite easy to stop listening to a
podcast you weren't intending to follow, delete it from your hard drive and never think of it again.
The answer can be found quite readily online. To answer the other question you might be thinking, you don't have to have listened to seasons 1 or 2 of offices and bosses for this to make sense, as much sense as it's going to make.
Just know it takes place some time during season 3 of Hello from the Magic Tavern. And now, Hunch behind your three-sided role-playing table shield, finish filing down that 20-sided
die to roll a wildly-unernd number of criticals, and enjoy the show. Here not marketing manager IT professional sales rep and temp I am office manager
your guide in the realm of offices and bosses
and the bosses!
Hello, welcome to season three of offices and bosses! A spin-off of hello from the Magic Tavern.
If you've never listened to the podcast before, this is everything you need to know.
Some amount of time ago I fell through a magic portal behind a Burger King and Chicago
and to the...I'm surprised that no one is trying to stop me.
Usually I try to get through this thing
without being interrupted and...
And yet you found a way to interrupt yourself.
And yet you're right.
Arnie, you're being rude to Arnie.
Oh.
Have you felt that maybe the problem isn't other people
that it might be you and you're just sort of...
Be me.
Projecting.
And I'm honestly learning a lot.
I don't listen to the show.
Oh, well, anyway, thank you.
This is a good opportunity.
Do you think everyone who doesn't listen to the show?
Yeah, I think I just, you should.
I lead with the-
Oh, he did that, he'd be thinking people all day.
My personality is that I tend to lead with either an apology
or just a thank you, but the thing is,
I rarely listen to what people say,
so I don't know what I'm thanking or apologizing for.
I do want to say, if he, if Arnie was thinking people
who didn't listen to the show, he'd be thinking these cities,
Cleveland, New Mexico, all of Michigan, Alaska,
Honolulu, the city of Alaska.
That's, those are famously our lowest demographics.
Oh really?
John, you started learning about Earth cities?
Well, you've been looking it up and I've been looking over a shoulder.
Oh, we have stats?
Oh yes, I have lots of insight into how the podcast is performing in various markets.
Oh, yeah, apparently we need to go to Austin.
What, look, let's save this discussion
for under the tavern, a behind the scenes podcast,
where me, Yusidor and Chant,
talk about all the things that go on,
behind the scenes of making a low from the magic tavern.
Is there any part of your life
that you haven't tried to monetize at this point?
I'm just listening, you're talking about separate conversations,
doing separate things, everything for you is a spin-off
or a side thing.
I know, I'm just... I'm all side hustle, but no core.
The other day... The other day... The other day, you charged me five shit bucks to watch him go to the bathroom.
I think I'm going to start to twitch.
Please, freaking out.
Terrifying.
I can't tear my eyes away though.
I'm gonna throw bits at him. Bits. Yeah.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Now you better do that the same time every day or your foot.
Oh no.
All right, so enough fun.
Let's play game.
Oh, no, so the grand soon.
Was that fun?
Was that fun?
Look for listeners, I just want to say that we're listening to offices and bosses, where
we are going to play the delightful role-playing game, offices and bosses.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, this is season three, baby.
And boys, before we begin, I got to apologize about the venue.
You know, we just couldn't get it together at another place.
My place is certainly too small, so I went on Arrow and B, and I found a place for us to
play.
Oh, fantastic.
Yeah, but I mean, I don't know.
I mean, it was listed as like a quaint country home
And as you can see we're in a mansion full of shifting rooms and portals and I don't know which way out is anymore
It's confusing in here. Yeah, and the big complaint we have is that it's not in the country correct because that's false advertising
Oh absolutely absolutely
Because that's false advertising. Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Speaking of just like an ever shifting reality
that it's hard to get any grasp on what's happening,
why don't we all introduce ourselves?
I'm Arnie, I'm an Earth human trapped in this world.
My name is John, I'm a shape shifter,
and usually a talking badger.
Usually a talking badger?
Well, talking is a given, and I'm excited to play it.
This is season three.
Season three of offices and bosses. And I, of course and I'm excited to play it. This is season three. Season three of offices and bosses.
And I, of course, I'm Yusudor,
Wizard of the 12th Realm of Ephesius,
Master of Light and Shadow,
Minipule, Tower of Magical Blights,
Devourer of Chaos, Champion of the Great Holes of Turakus,
the Edoves Nome is Fying Elk,
the Dwarves Nome is Zonen in Huk Stenges,
and I'm known in the Northeast,
has Gastraeneus Mastar, and there may be other secret names. Names that if I did that are allowed, would roll a natural 20 every time. Names like, uh, was it James Obs, yes. Well, I don't believe I'll be playing John Sebastian.
Ooh.
Or John Bastion?
That's not a thing.
Never was.
And anyway, we're here with us today, is?
Yes, that's right.
I am trash, the cobalt.
And today I will be your office manager.
Oh.
Ooh. And we should take just a brief moment to say that we are still worried and missing
Metamorphon
Visual office manager. Well when we usually play offices in bosses metamorphon the part dragonborn guy who works in the stable
Wait, I mean you just replaced him with another lizard guy. Well, he was captured. Yeah, the universe is in bosses season two
Gotta assume he's dead by now. Yeah, a trickster god kidnapped tricked him in a game of offices
What was it guys named Tony Obsidian or
Tony Obsidian it was Dorian Deville the trickster god and
We don't know where he is or where he lives or what his house looks like
trickster God and we don't know where he is or where he lives or what his house looks like.
But it's on our list of things. Eventually we will rescue Metamorph, assuming he's out there and still lives somewhere. Metamorph, you're listening, we're coming to save you. If you're dead,
we're not. Yeah, so, let us know if you're dead. Yeah, so, you know, if you're listening to this
in the future, check and see if office is in boss this season seven or eight if we've got around to
doing that. It's a wonder if he's listening and dead because then he heard it and knows you're not coming for him.
And his steady is upsetting, but you have to think about it in this way, someday we'll all be dead.
Oh, but now I do have to think about it in that way.
If he's listening and dead, does he not count towards our listener numbers?
Fuck.
You would probably know that if you paid more attention to stats.
Let's bury him in Cleveland and go ahead and introduce yourself, Cornelius.
Oh, yes, I am Honeelius, the Fin-Tar, and I will be taking no questions about my
habits.
Good, that's good.
That's actually a good thing.
Yes, I learned my lesson.
Sort of look like a...
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
It's not important.
Okay, and Trash, I want to say no matter what other people are saying. I don't think you're
going bold. What? What? What? You're a cold bold, right? Yeah. Yeah. You can just shave.
I mean, I just want to talk about it. I don't want to talk about it. Just where it hats.
What I do. Yeah. We're going to play a game. We got to play a game. This is a variant on Owen B.
You guys have been kind of been playing the baby game.
Oh yeah, last time I was a baby with a famously long penis.
It's also DJ.
No, no, no, no.
Version of Owen B came out after the original publishing
that just had more granular rules,
a greater verse millitude to everything in the game.
This is Chief Executive, offices and bosses.
CEO would be.
This is the real game.
All right, this is going to challenge you more than you've ever been challenged by a
game of offices and bosses.
Are you guys ready for it?
Yes.
Oh, it's certainly not. Yes.
How could I be?
But I'm game to try.
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.
Can I ask you, Horneelies, have you played offices and bosses before?
No, I have not. But I've watched many offices and bosses streams
where I'm from the lake, let's out into many streams.
Uh-huh.
And I occasionally see students, offices and bosses' character sheets floating through the streets.
Oh, god, and yeah, you see them through your little fish eyes?
No, no, no, no, no, why go there? Why go there?
No need, why talk about the type of eyes?
So our game begins at the top of a large glass tower. Where within we find thousands of different human beings
in a horrible world where only humans exist.
Ugh.
He says the glass tower?
Yes.
Are we all like burning alive?
No, no, no, no, no.
See, in this world, these people form corporations
and they build big, boring, really
architecturally indistinct towers that they put in the middle of a quite
beautiful historic downtown.
Got you like a big, boring, glass penis.
Yeah, exactly.
I kind of like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And we are bringing ourselves to the highest of the high levels, where we find an open office floor plan,
where human beings are stuck horribly near one another, and everyone has floating desks,
which means there are not enough desks for the people working there.
Hmm, scarcity. for the people working there. Scarcity. Where we find our main characters.
You all are the heroes of this world.
The emplolies.
Fuck you.
Yes.
I forgot that I don't like offices and bosses.
And I want to go around real quick
and have everybody introduce their character.
I'll need to know your name.
I'll also need to know your title, your job position.
Oh great. Should I start?
Yes please.
Yeah, of course.
So my character's name is PJ Success.
I'm a seasonal manager.
Oh.
Oh, what's a seasonal manager?
A seasonal manager is someone who was not born vaginally.
They were cut open from their birth mother.
And there are certain types of bosses that they will be able to slay that
Someone of man or woman born would not be able to slay. I'm so sorry. I stumbled over my tongue
I'm not a seasonal manager. I'm a C-sectional manager. Oh, I see I see a sea level manager
Thank you, and I of course am Clarem colate mug
Vice President corporate direct sales Northeast region.
Oh, wonderful.
Houston, are you not gonna play John Sebastian?
No, I'm not playing John Sebastian.
I'm playing Tony Obsidian.
Not Tony Obsidian, that's a different one.
Clarem Colate Mug.
Clarem, Clarem.
How do we spell Clarem?
C-L-A-I-R-M. Okay, I think for
short I'm just gonna call you Shiv. That's close. That's close. And you know in an
office like this it wouldn't be uncommon for someone to take on a nickname.
That's where they look at your name and they chip off a piece of it. They
nick off a piece of your name.
Oh, you'll be a good nickname for Clarem Colate Mug.
John Sebastian.
We'll see.
Well, I don't think so.
I don't think I've got you to do that.
Horneley, it's what do you got?
Oh.
Mm-mm.
I will be playing.
Tony Obsidian.
Ha.
Mergers and acquisitions.
Oh, wait, what was the name? Tony Obsidian. wait, what was the name Tony obsidian. Sorry one more time Tony obsidian. That's just not sticking
I like that character maybe I'll maybe I'll get a nickname for you. Is that spelled a N. D. Y. Space
C. A. N. E. I guess that's correct
Look at that call you Kendall for sure. Okay, it's so all right
Yeah, yeah, wait wait wait, I'm very, I haven't really
talked to you about this.
I'm from a world that is not unlike the,
to you folks, fantastical world of offices and bosses.
Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
Damn it, you say?
It's wonderful.
So it's not as much escapism for me to play offices and bosses.
So I try to play a different kind of role-playing game
that I played as a kid.
All my past characters have died.
Rhine DeGeorgie has died, Orlando Bloom has died.
Hayden Christensen died at the end of the game.
I thought he was just horribly scarred and burned.
Yeah, but then also like just public opinion
turned against the-
I like his career.
Yeah, yeah.
So for this game, you know, a very popular role playing game
on my world is Vampire, the Masquerade.
And I've always really loved the name of that game
that I know next to nothing about.
So. That's very popular.
I am going to be, masquerade, was it a drink?
A sports drink?
Sounds a little insensitive, really.
Well, I am going to play a vampire maybe all you all know is I'm wearing a mask
That's it. I am the mask CEO
Why isn't it called the vampire mask grade?
Well, and I'll have to slow your roll on that a little bit there Arnie because you're not CEOs yet
Oh to be a sea level boss.
That's sort of the ultimate goal of CEO and B.
Nice.
Is your questing after the powers of a boss?
There are certain relics hidden within the world,
certain tasks and deeds that you'll need to perform.
But if you make it to the end, you'll reach sea level. You'll be a boss.
Since I shouldn't be sea level, I'm going to change my back to my, I miss Spokens
at seasonal manager, so I'm going to stay that just so I'm not a sea level manager.
Or it could just be called the masquerade and part of the game is finding out their vampires.
Ah.
Hmm.
What?
Well, it's already pitched a better thing than your thing. Thank you.
I wasn't really listening to what he said.
Let's not go changing it too much. It's very popular.
I suppose they know what they're doing.
It had a TV show, probably.
That's the only way Arnie knows anything.
So, let's cut back to the game.
You are employees who are living amongst the bosses.
Most employees live huddled somewhere in the lower levels of the tower,
but you have actually approached their magnificence. You walk among them every day, which makes your
lives very dangerous, but there is that joyous prize that could be at the end of this long,
harrowing road, you could become bosses yourselves yourselves. Ooh, yeah, mm-hmm, yes.
But first, you must amount to the day's first challenge.
And as I have said, there are many work stations
around this office, but not enough for everyone who works here.
Find yourselves a station.
Oh, okay.
All right.
So do I, can I see if there are any that are far away
from the windows where less light would penetrate?
Ooh, okay, well, it sounds like you're ready
to make one of the first moves of our game.
To do that, I'll need you to roll a die
and add your familiarity or your creative
to analyze the situation.
Oh, and do I get a pick which of those ones?
The way you do it, if you want to sort of use tried and true methods,
you'll be rolling from your familiarity.
But if you want to come up with new interesting innovative ideas,
you'll use your creative.
Oh, well since my creative is higher,
I'm going to find a desk and an innovative new way, which is use my vampire eyes.
Alright, well roll it up!
Okay, let's see here. I rolled a...
8.
Plus 2, creative.
Okay, so that's 10.
I'll trust you.
So, it was on a 7 to 15 things don't go exactly great, but you do get to ask me a question, and I must answer it honestly.
Um, hmm. What do you think of my hair?
Uh, I'm sorry, is this in the game? What do I think of your character's hair? Or what do I trash think of Arnie's hair?
Do we all answer? I love to. I mean, we-
Too tall. I have to be honest about it, but you all can just answer the question.
Looks great.
Uh, how about this?
Why don't you tell me it looks good and...
Well, no, that's not the rules I do have to answer honestly.
I guess I don't want to know.
You already asked the question though and I do have to say bad.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's not a word.
And that's your fault.
That's what you did with your turn.
But what do you say my hair has potential?
Oh God, Arnie, I don't have to answer this.
I don't have to answer this honestly.
I don't have to answer this honestly.
Yes, I would say it has potential.
But because you rolled a partial success,
there's a drawback to that.
So you have the information that an extra dimensional
totem version of
yourself has bad hair. And you know that as your character now. However, you did that
using an innovative new method of creative idea and bosses hate that. So you have alerted one of the nearby bosses. They, you know, inhale deeply.
And they look around the office.
Someone here has new ideas.
Everyone at their work station suddenly stops and freezes,
hoping that the boss won't notice them.
But this creates opportunities for the rest of you.
While people are frozen, they'll have trouble working at their stations.
Did we all enter at the exact same moment? Did we all walk in together?
I assume we awakened at some point.
Just coming to consciousness in this room.
Oh, I know one of the sleeping pods, yeah.
Yes.
So in a high-level corporate office like this, there are sleeping pods where humans sort of stuff themselves
so that they continue to work
more and more.
Humans love to work.
So from where I'm at, who is there a human in my line of sight who looks particularly upset
who I could push out of their floating disk?
Absolutely.
You see, someone who is shorter than yourself and high level corporate politics, the taller
you are, the more likely you are to
Draw a higher wage command more respect in the office
So yeah, you just look for a short person to target and you you see one in your line of sight. What do you do?
Well, I push them out of the space and I take it over. Okay. Now are you gonna be doing this physically or socially?
Oh
How about socially? Okay, I like that. That is a control role doing this physically or socially. Ooh.
How about socially? Okay, I like that.
That is a control role.
You're gonna be rolling and adding your brand,
and I'll tell you the results.
That's a five plus zero is five.
Okay, so that's the worst it could possibly go.
Well, I could have rolled a four.
So you're free.
You're right.
That is, I mean, look, I'm no math, I choose.
Yeah.
You've got to choose two things for me here.
You'll make an enemy.
The person in question will give you a lower than five rating on an anonymous survey.
Huh?
The situation is going to... That's going to trap, though.
Yeah, that's not good.
All right, all right.
The situation is gonna carry unforeseen complications
or your ass is on the line.
And I have to choose two.
Choose two.
You're rolled very badly.
I will make an enemy for I do not fear enemies.
For Yusodoro does not stare down the face of evil
without standing up against it.
And second, unforeseen consequences.
So, I think what happens is you step in to try
and use your natural social brand
to push this person out of their workstation.
What you don't know is that this person is really into CrossFit.
And they see you, they lock eyes with you,
and all of a sudden you're in a conversation about CrossFit.
There's no end in sight.
I think the word CrossFit is a second hand.
That's trash. Part of me.
Now, if I see this happening to my good friend Clarem
and me being part of a mergers and acquisitions,
may I go and try to assist Clarem here?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to do that,
you would make an improve role.
That is also gonna be based off your brand,
though, because you are part of mergers and acquisitions,
you would have advantage in this situation.
You'll be growing 2D20 and taking the higher.
A 20.
A 20, there we go.
Whoa.
Okay.
That's the best I could have gone.
Well, it could be a 21.
Well, that's fair to you.
That's true.
Yeah, much higher numbers.
Yeah, so on this, your name is on the project.
And it goes perfectly.
You swoop in, I want to know, in what way would
you be able to redirect a conversation about CrossFit? As you know CrossFit is a conversation
pit. Once you're there, you're kind of there. Yes. Well, I don't actually plan on redirecting
it all. I plan on furthering the CrossFit conversation and in fact
Bolitiling them with my massive CrossFit stats
Oh, oh yeah, yeah, the shorter person obviously sees your taller frame as you begin to talk about CrossFit
You know and their six foot cable jumps. Yeah science crunches. Yeah, yeah, it's lateral thrusts.
And he tries to keep job, he's like,
oh, carry it.
What's your time?
What's your time?
Three minutes?
I'm 256.
Oh!
Yeah, he runs away in Tony Obsidian.
He runs away in shame.
Tony, you're the alpha of the floor right now.
People know it, people respect it.
The workstation is yours. Sorry, Claire. Oh, that's okay, people respect it, the workstation is yours.
Sorry, Clarem.
Oh, that's okay, Tony.
I appreciate you help the help.
Yeah.
I was really in trouble there for a second.
I want to know more about Chun's character.
Where are they in the office?
So PJ's success has been hiding behind a plant on the office floor.
As I see Clarem kind of get to put in his place, his place her place,
their place, her place. And as I see, oh boy, what is this name? Tobey. Tony Obsidian.
Tony Obsidian. You don't remember that name? Start to belittle someone. What I'm going
to do is I rush towards someone on the outer edges of the office. Suddenly, I try and physically hit them so they smash out the window and die.
Okay, subtly.
Yeah. Okay.
This is good. This is good.
Okay, so this is just gonna be a straight up attack roll.
That's gonna use your productive eight stat.
And what weapon are you using?
I have a spiked club.
Okay, a spiked club is not gonna be great at subtlety. And then I use my forehead. Okay, okay.iked club is not going to be great at subtlety.
Then I use my forehead. Okay, okay, you can use your forehead. I have to know what
your physical frame is like. Real small, real small. Okay. So I'm at the ice like five,
six. Oh, yeah. Wow. Yeah. Well, but follow up question. Yeah. How big is your forehead?
Massive. Oh, you've got a five head,
I think you'd be rowing this with advantage.
Okay, all right then.
Okay, that's gonna be a 14.
A 14, okay, you can't.
That's the best I could have gone.
Yes.
Unless you have been cross-bred with a goat,
you're not gonna be able to do lethal damage with this,
but you do sort of manage to ram them You're not gonna be able to do lethal damage with this,
but you do sort of manage to ram them and because this is a pretty high attack roll,
you get to make the choice,
you can either, and you can choose two of these,
you can avoid taking damage in return,
you can resolve stress,
which nobody is stressed out right now,
which is great.
So, you guys are doing great.
You can deal additional damage
or you can put your co-workers in an advantageous position.
Who would I choose to?
Choose to.
And I can't put my ass on the line twice.
No, no, no, no.
You don't wanna put your ass on the line for this.
Yeah, I guess you do.
I'll have to.
No, he does.
Yeah, I could if I wanted to.
So what I wanna do is I wanna do additional damage
and I wanna put one of my co-workers
in an advantageous situation.
Okay.
Me, me, me, me, me, me.
Great, great.
Great, great.
Good to sing.
So I think you ram into this person.
You do catch them right in the hip.
They sort of stumble over sideways and crash into another person
freeing up another workstation.
And this one is yours.
You've asserted your dominance. even being short, which is very impressive
It's very hard to do. Thank you so much. So I take over the one station and then I look I make eyes with the masked CEO
And give them a little wink. I'm not yet a CEO, but still yeah, I guess I'm you know
I think we can work on your backstory a little bit. Maybe you used to be a CEO
Left in disgrace,
and you sort of come back to reclaim.
Look, I wear a mask, but maybe I'm hiding my identity
for good things.
You're ugly?
Why?
Yes, what's the maybe part?
What's the explanation?
Radioactive face?
Maybe I haven't figured that part out.
Oh, okay, what a boy.
Really cool creative choice and creativity is your best stat?
Yes, and since I can't be CEO, I'll just be the masked BTO.
Now there we go.
Yeah, I am.
Yeah, I am.
I am taking care of business.
So it seems like the mask is a metaphor
for not only you hiding your face,
but you hiding what your characters are about
or what they want or what they're interested in.
Oh yeah, I should have had a mask in.
From the very beginning.
Now Claire, it doesn't seem like the mask BTO
has been going for this open workstation.
That advantage could easily go to you.
Are you gonna take advantage of that?
I would like to, yes.
Cause it looks like the mask BTO isP.T.O. is over there
thinking through their backstory a little bit
trying to figure out what might be going on there.
Okay.
Yes, if I can, if there's something I can do,
can I go ahead and make a move?
Yeah, yeah, just go on to describe to me
what you're doing.
Well, if there's an open workstation,
I go over there and I put my lamination machine
on top of it so everyone knows it's mine.
Yeah, people are very hesitant to move things like that.
So I think this is another control.
This is you sort of trying to assert your personality
in this space.
Okay, so I'm in a Roll Plus brand again.
Yeah, Roll Plus brand.
That's a 12.
Okay, a 12 plus, did you have anything to add to that?
Nope.
So that's a partial success.
Oh.
Which means you are going to
incur some sort of social penalty for that.
I think what happens is you sit next to the gossipy co-workers
and as soon as you get there,
they notice that you've taken over
the station. It's not the sort of thing where they would kick you out but their friend
usually sits there. Oh, that's beautiful.
And so they start talking closer to themselves in hushed tones and once in a while somebody
will give you kind of a look. Oh, shade. Do I get another move? Because I wanted to order
lunch for everyone. Ooh, okay, I like this.
This sounds to me like it would be a,
this is a measure.
You're going to put one of your skills to the test.
Are you ordering lunch to everyone to sort of smooth things
over with the people that you're sitting with?
Correct.
Okay, so if you're gonna be doing that, you're going to choose a method of doing it. And I think that might be a creative solution for you.
Okay.
Well, all right.
So I roll for that plus creative.
Yeah, roll plus creative.
It's a 14.
14.
So 14 overall, I think you're going to smooth this over with most of them.
Great.
One of them is not going to be safe.
And I think that's what I'm going to do. I think you're gonna smooth this over
with most of them.
Great.
One of them is not gonna be safe,
and I think one of them has an allergy.
So you order food for everybody,
everybody else gets a food, but you get there.
I'm gonna call up Darpa Soutinos.
And from Darpa Soutinos.
Darpa Soutinos, I'm calling Darpa Soutinos,
and I'm ordering garlic nuts.
Garlic nuts? Garlic nuts, and I'm ordering garlic nuts garlic
Garlic nuts. Yeah, everybody loves I'm ordering garlic nuts for the whole office
But someone on the team has a not allergy
I would like it to be known. That's totally obsidian.
Brought to the eggs salad sandwich.
I did look in the book before we started playing.
And I selected some items for myself,
one of which is an eggs salad sandwich.
I will be abstaining from lunch.
Smart.
And instead of having a garlic knot, K-N-O-T,
I'm gonna have a garlic knot, N-O-T,
that is just not garlic.
Um, and now I want to return to the mass BTO.
The garlic knots have obviously filled the office
with kind of a thick Italian cooking scent,
something that you as a vampire would not be able to stand.
But something me as a Tony loves.
Yeah, it reminds you of grandma's house.
But for you, it's causing you a lot of distress.
You're gonna need to find a path out of there, right?
Okay.
Is there like a elevator nearby?
So there are banks of elevators,
but I think the situation is really dire for you.
You're probably gonna have to duck into one of the offices.
Oh, okay.
Which could be dangerous
because that's where the bosses live.
Oh, all right, I'm just gonna have to go in there
and hope my mask can do the work for me.
So I'm gonna need you to make a measure role for me
and I just want you to choose which of your abilities
you think your character is using.
There could be a lot of different ways of approaching this.
You know, you could be using your brand, you know, trying to excuse your way approaching this. You could be using your brand,
you know, trying to excuse your way in there.
You could be using your productive ate
and just using your raw physical talents to get in there.
Well, my highest stat is brand, a plus four.
So, despite the fact that I don't thoroughly
understand what that means,
I think I'm gonna go with that one.
I'm gonna go in and I'm going to go into an office
and just say hey
It's me the master
BTO. Oh, that's so unbranded for you. Yeah, that's good. That's good And that's I'm gonna point at the math and Arnie that's that's the sort of thing that you think a really like charismatic person would say
Well, yeah, okay
You know most people sort of like try to play an idealized vision
of themselves in this game, so I said, hey,
you're like more like a asthmatic person.
I pointed at the mask.
You got, also, I know I maybe didn't go
into a lot of description.
The mask is really cool.
If he's a fantasy world where the rules work different
than I will.
Sure, sure, sure, sure.
Also, it's unfair because he's from Earth
and he knows how to do it so well.
Exactly.
The rest of us are struggling.
If you work in an office
and you go into the boss's office,
unannounced, wearing a mask,
that's a power move.
That always goes over well, huh?
Yeah, and I, can I, I don't know if this is a lot of trash.
Can I roll for something I think I see?
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
If you want to do that,
all you would have to do is roll define.
When you roll a define, you know, offices and bosses, like, kind of ended up in a situation
where a lot of people would think they would see things.
And there was really no way to control that here in CEO and be it's built right into the
game.
Just for fun.
I think the guy that I headbutted, I think I see him start to get up, and then I think
I see him start to go home, and on his way out, I think I see him slip on a knot, a
garlic knot, a little slip knot going on.
Yeah, let's see.
Okay, and that's that.
There's no roll that could be good enough.
And what am I rolling for?
So you're going to roll and add your creative.
Oh boy.
You care if you get it.
You hate to see that, it's a 23.
So what?
So that works out exactly as you say. I hate to see that, it's a 14.
A 14, okay, okay, so this is a partial success,
meaning you're definitely gonna get what you want,
but there is gonna be a drawback to this situation.
You walk in and the boss, blessedly, is not there.
You're lucky.
But instead, you find their personal assistant.
Now, you know how in Foon, we have some people
that are sort of insocilled into servitude.
On earth, they do this by just hiring someone.
Humans will just give away their lives
to other humans for no reason at all.
It's so strange.
Yeah, we know the word inso Sourcelman, right?
Yes, of course.
Yes, I am Sourcel things all the time.
Yes, I'm a big West Wing fan.
What?
What's that?
It's Sourcelman.
Oh, okay.
You know if you see a bird and you favor one wing
or over the other?
Oh, okay.
Those birds fly with one wing away from the sun.
No, the sun is to the west.
To the east, it's a west way.
Oh.
But Arnie, you get in there, you get in there,
the personal assistance sees you and goes,
Mr. Johnson doesn't have a three o'clock.
What do you do?
Let's see, I already pointed at my mask.
I'm trying to do that one more time.
Maybe two fingers.
Let's see here.
You wouldn't be able to use creative if you tried doing it again.
Ah, yes.
I think I should get a mask.
Well, these are the things that I have.
I have a staple remover.
I'm not sure.
I just sort of like how it looks like vampire teeth.
Yeah, it makes you feel comfortable.
It's a lot smarter.
And then for my weapon, I chose one of those really long,
one of those really long... Wait of those really long, um...
Wait, are you a vampire?
One of those long spears? What's that?
Are you a vampire?
No, I'm just, I got a mask.
That's what I thought. It's vampire the masquerade.
There's no indication that the vampires were one wearing a mask.
Yeah, I thought you were dressing up as a vampire.
Oh, well, I was assuming that I'm, you know, behind this mask, there's no way of knowing
if I'm a vampire or not.
Except you just said you were.
What's that?
What?
But we don't know, that's part of the mystery,
which will tease out throughout this entire season,
but I am a vampire.
So, getting back to the weapon that you were describing,
you said it's like a really long spear?
A very long spear, like five times as tall as me the kind like if I was
Is it getting a charge? It is both tall and long
Okay, so this is sounding a lot like a lance or your arm strong enough to hold the lance
Hey, I would have wrapped a roll to not be that look on this mask
I am not a lance.
Okay, okay, but I mean we're going to have to get into the blood doping later on since you are a vampire.
Oh, blood.
See, why did you have that reaction to blood?
What's in it that you are a vampire?
No, I'm, I may be a vampire.
Are you gonna turn on us?
No, I would turn on you.
I feel like you already did this.
I feel like we already watched something like this play out
over a very long period of time.
Just so everyone's clear,
I am in no risk of being turned on.
Just so we're clear.
If you were turned on physically, what would happen?
Well, I guess I would have to go merge
and acquire the bathroom.
And I want to say that you're forced to
put the room.
Why? Why? Why didn't bring it up?
Don't worry about it.
OK, so you've got your lands out.
Yes.
You're going to roll an attack.
You'll do that using your productive aid.
OK, my productive aid is zero.
All right, let's see here
I got a 12 okay, you got a 12 which means you are successful
Lance is gonna do enough personal assistance don't have a lot of physical power
They've sort of been warned to the bone by the demands of their job. So you spear them through but in the process
You're gonna cause some demands of their job. So you spear them through, but in the process,
you're gonna cause some destruction.
I'm just gonna roll to see what that might do.
Oh my gosh, okay.
Rolling looks like you were very successful.
You knocked over one of the bosses filing cabinets.
Oh nice.
Anytime something's accomplished in an office,
it's filed away.
Yes.
Amazing.
Dark cabinets and what falls out is a watch that glows in the light.
I think you, I'm going to need a role from you to see if you recognize.
Oh, okay.
Come on, recognize it.
That is a five.
Okay, so you just see a glowy watch on the ground.
It looks, you know, pretty, pretty unimpressive to you.
Also, you just committed a murder, so maybe there are other things that are on your mind.
Yeah, probably. I think is there any blood?
Oh, yeah, there's a lot of blood. Okay
I'm just gonna go what was that I'm why did you make a bunch of mouth noises? Why did you rub a hot dog in that blood?
There were better easier ways for you to convey that if that's what you wanted to do yeah someone else would have eaten that hot dog
Yeah, Ellen's allergic to the garlic nuts. Yeah, that's true
Do vampires on your world eat blood so talked dogs?
Maybe they did that's a mystery that will play out throughout the entire season. I hope not
Also, I take the watch just because it's there
Okay, I would pick up anything, really, everything.
You hear a voice as soon as you touch the watch.
You hear a voice echoing in your mind, announcing itself,
I am the watch of the sixth sigma, one of the artifacts
that will bestow upon one person, Boss Hood. Lucky.
Collect the other five and a said,
Oh.
How many are there total?
He's just at six.
So, I mean, I can't, I can't repeat myself.
This is one of those games where you have to write down,
remember what's going on.
He literally said there's six,
he said five and the other five.
Twice, he mentioned. Let me check your diet. You rolled a 17 less to hide in. That's what that is.
Yikes. Okay. So Trash I have a question. So Ornie found the first sigma. Sigma? Yes.
Sigma. Sigma. So is he the only one who's able to ascend or can we each vie for the most?
Or do we collectively collect six?
So in order to collect the six sigma's, you're going to need to work together, but only
one of you can ascend.
Ooh, interesting.
Interoffice politics, interesting.
Interesting.
The ultimate challenge.
I do, because we were talking about interoffice politics, I want to come back to clam.
Clam. Who the fuck is Clarem?
What do you mean I'm playing Clarem?
Tony Obsidian.
Oh.
Yes.
Tony Obsidian is playing Clarem.
Wait, no, you're Clarem.
I'm Tony Obsidian.
Now Tony Obsidian is currently tricking Clarem.
Oh, that's right.
Eyes on your own papers.
So, Clarem, you have been enlisted by Tony Obsidian to go get some sugar for him, but of course,
can I, can I laminate it?
Well, some, your lamination machine is the thing in question.
Tony was enlisted by Karen, who is allergic to garlic knots. I agree. I'm going to go where you away from your workstation.
When you get back, you find some coffee has spilled on your lamination machine.
Oh, um, oh no, what am I getting to do?
Um, I guess I'll...
Quit sucking at dick guys dick.
Can I roll?
That's enough.
Unfortunately, no.
Let's keep moving.
Your character's very close to being canceled.
Well, do I know that Karen's built it, or I don't know?
I just see that there's no-
You don't know that Karen's built it.
You see the cop, you come back to your workstation,
you felt okay leaving it because the lamination machine
is there, but it's been defaced.
Who do I see in the immediate vicinity?
So you see the gals that are all around
and they're being pointedly silent.
Mm.
Which one is closest to me?
Let's see here.
That's gonna be Bree.
Well, or did you want physically or emotionally?
Physically.
Okay, then it's gonna be Bree.
I'm gonna try to-
Just not a curiosity, which one is emotionally closest?
Don't take care of him, don't take care of him, don't take care of him.
That's Samantha.
Ooh.
I've never heard Samantha.
Well, I think I'm going to try to cut off Breeze head.
Okay.
And physically-
Physically or emotionally?
Physically.
Okay, now just warning you, you had the spiked cl-
No, no, no, that was PJ.
What is your weapon that you've selected?
I have a copesh.
It's a two-bladed weapon with two curved blades
or the opposite direction.
And the longer taller blade has two teeth that curl in.
Okay, that's an exotic weapon.
Thank you.
I also have a copesh.
It's $122 a year.
I thought you were gonna say you love copesh eats. You have a copage. It's a hundred and twenty dollars a year. I thought you're gonna say you love copeshy
You have a copage that's yearly
Okay, I don't know I'm talking about so
So I swing to cut off breathe. Yeah, so please roll your attack
That's a ten. Do I add anything to that? So no, you just...
Preceptivate, right?
Yeah, you'll add your productive 8.
Yes.
Oh, that's a 12 then.
Oh, a 12.
I mean, it's still gonna get you in the 7 to 15 range.
So you're only gonna be able to choose one
to avoid taking damage to results in stress,
which nobody's stressed out or deal additional damage here.
You only get to do one.
I'll deal additional damage.
Okay, so what?
That's the move if you're trying to cut someone's head off.
Right. Yeah.
So you cut off Breeze head.
Breeze head separates from her body.
It flies over the table and it lands on Karen's desk.
Nurse.
And she gives you a look like,
what are you doing?
When I do one of these, right, point at my eyes,
and I point at her eyes, and I point at my eyes,
and I point at her eyes.
Okay, okay.
I think that works out great for you,
but I think that there is the drawback of now,
they're kind of united against you.
Samantha looks at you like she can't even believe you right now.
What?
Samantha does that.
So you're gonna take some emotional damage from this?
No.
That is gonna be six emotional damage.
That is.
No.
Yeah.
Now that I see that Breeze Head has been severed from her body,
may I try to acquire that head and use it as a second head for myself?
Waste not, want not.
It is a good idea.
Trying to get head in the office is frowned upon.
Yes, but if you're handsome, you're allowed to do it, correct?
Well, makes sense for you.
In older editions of the game?
Well, what version is this?
These days it's very frowned upon.
You're right, yes, yes, I wouldn't even want to try that.
Totally obsidian, of course, about his business.
Ham is that some emails, it's dead.
All right, I'm getting to do the role
to see what your opinions about Star Wars are.
I think we should check in on that.
Okay, but I don't want to use Creative
because I don't have any creative opinions
about Star Wars.
What I do have is, I want to use my productive aid
because I'm just really hammering out this email.
Mm-hmm, yeah, sure.
That is a 12.
Okay, so you hammer out that email,
there are some very borderline opinions
about Star Wars in that email.
That's gonna come back to Bicelator for sure.
Boba Fett, more like Boba Fett,
he served in the military.
I told a lot of people in the food
about what you told me about Star Wars.
So it's starting to really spread.
It's a real thing.
My impression is a rough translation
of what I heard from Chant.
It get a P.J. success.
It's like that old game, tin can.
Like you tell someone's one thing
and they tell someone else another thing
and it slowly dilutes it
Tin can why is that like a tin can? It's like a tin can with string. Yeah. You're talking to a tin can
Talk to a tin can have you ever talked to do a tin can with your friends?
Well, why would you do that here in food? That's how you you know spread gossiping talk to people through a tin can on the string
Sometimes yeah, why not is that meant to be a stand-in for anything? No, I think so. Why would you stand in?
It works just fine.
Okay.
On its own.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It works fine.
PJ, you got a deadline coming up.
Okay.
I just...
Can I put my ass on the deadline?
You can put your ass on the deadline, for sure.
I'll hold off to here more about it.
Okay, so you've got a deadline coming up.
It's going to be a lot of work.
At this point, you might need to try and displace it
onto someone else.
Ooh, yes.
All right, I will do that.
Because PJ's success is trying to climb the social ladder,
you know, so I will try and do that.
What do I need to roll for?
So this is gonna be control.
You're gonna be rolling off of your brand.
And I want you to target one of your coworkers.
The one you feel that is weakest, most vulnerable.
Let's go to be that severed hit.
For sure, yes.
Oh yeah.
Is it still alive or dead?
Uh, I don't know.
Arnie, this is actually a thing that I don't know.
When humans get their heads cut off,
what usually happens then?
They die.
Okay, well they die.
So here's what I'll do.
I'm gonna, I kind of, I don't look at anyone specifically, but I kind of generally say like, hey Josh, and I see if anyone perks their head up.
Oh yeah, yeah, that's good. Just to see if there's a Josh. Hey Josh. Yeah, just roll your brand on that. That's good.
That's going to be a six. Okay, Josh stands up. Josh is a crossfit guy.
Damn it.
Okay.
He's already changed into his workout clothes.
He's got his shaker bottle.
So, you know, he's gonna come over.
You can probably get him to do what you want.
You are, you do have seniority.
Okay.
But you're gonna hear about Crossfit.
Gotcha.
Okay, so yeah, I go ahead and I jump on that explosive potion
and take one for the team, so I say, hey Josh.
And I try and really butter them up,
try and really, how are you so big?
Oh, well, let me tell you about the logs that I carry.
Okay, details.
So sometimes I carry a log back and forth across a room.
Great. I can't do it. I can't walk away. Okay. I do the part. That's tough. That's tough.
Yeah. So I thought I could do it. I couldn't. Didn't even roll. Now did you put your ass on the line
on that one? No. I don't think I did. Okay. I'm being honest. I didn't. If you had succeeded
in retrospect, would you put your ass on the line? Absolutely, 100%. That's one of the technical flaws of this game.
Is it really decide whether or not things are bad for you?
There's two things PJ's success puts on a line.
His name on the dotted, or his ass?
Oh, on the dotted.
Great, great.
So you've killed the boss's personal assistant.
Oh, yeah, I did do that.
Yeah, so you kind of have to get out of here.
Oh, yes.
I think, yeah, you might want to make yourself scarce.
Okay, well, did anyone see me go into this office?
Let's see, I did.
Yeah, so I'm going to have to kill John Sebastian.
Who?
Right, go for it.
You're going to kill John Sebastian?
Yeah, I'm going to find John Sebastian and kill him.
All right, I'm gonna need you to roll that attack.
Okay, and I'm gonna use my staple remover.
All right, that'll give you advantage on that.
I rolled a 17.
Ooh, okay, okay.
So John Sebastian, I believe was unemployed
but bought a big television. So uh you
no no no no. John Sebastian did not do that. John Bastion did. Wow wait! Shit. Hold on.
Mine games. Houston or did you fucking trick me by using the wrong name. I think you tricked yourself.
Hold on.
That makes me.
That makes you trick me by using the wrong name.
Hold on.
Let me check my employee manifest to see
who John Sebastian is.
Oh, dear.
Oh, dear.
That's one of the bosses.
Oh.
That's a CFO.
A CFO?
Yeah, Chief Financial Officer.
Oh, yeah, this is...
Well, I said I, but I, you know what?
Yeah, I'm a man of my word.
Dude, you've committed to it now.
You attack him.
Uh, oh.
Wait, is he a Chief Financial Officer?
And a gentleman?
I mean, I can roll for it.
Because if so, he might let it slide, right?
Uh, no, it looks like he made some bad tweets.
He's not a gentleman whatsoever.
Well, I did still roll 17.
You did roll a 17, but this is, all right, I'm gonna...
He recently got weight loss surgery, too,
so you're trying to remove his stomach staples?
Oh, all right.
That's gotta be what it is.
That's gotta be what it is.
Yeah, you're not a trained surgeon. You're going to make a massive fix.
Yeah, you're right. I'm going to roll damage for it.
With no anesthesia.
All right, you do three damage.
Okay.
So, you know, you see John Sebastian enter the office.
He's got, he's extremely tall, got very big hair.
He walks in. Big big hair.
Oh, big hair. Huge walks saying big hair. Oh, big hair.
Huge hair.
Tall hair?
Yeah.
So, such tall hair, very impressive hair.
I sure have attacked with my long spear.
Full head of it.
Yeah, you go up, you go up to him,
you snap at him with a Snape Overmover,
you do get a staple, you pull it right out,
but you know, you've aroused his eye,
he's upset for sure.
Okay, just had a curiosity.
So I've taken three hit points.
You've taken three hit points away from me.
How many hit points is a boss on average hand?
About 25.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
That's a lot.
I wouldn't have attacked the boss, but you wanted to go after John Sebastian.
Seeing this happen and seeing my good friend attacking the masked BTO attacking John Sebastian,
might I be able to assist him?
Absolutely.
If you want to roll and improve on that, you can add to that.
I would also like to attack.
But your name will be attached to this project.
I'm totally fine with that because I see an opportunity to advance by killing a boss.
And so I would like to also attack John Sebastian.
Okay.
All right.
Now, I took a couple of items from the book in terms of what I would be fighting with.
So I can either use my business attire iron or I can use it.
I don't know what this is. I just wrote it down my pack of Trident gun
What does that mean?
So the Trident gun sounds more powerful. Yeah, you have a whole pack. So pack it's I
I think it's extra ammo. I've only sort of so lightly glazed over like like some of the weapons of the book
But I think a Trident is you know one of those three pointed spears
Yes, so you must have just a bunch of guns of disposable trident. Yes, it says my trident gun is to spearmen
Let me see I'm gonna I'm gonna look at this up
Looks like
Four to five dentist recommended
So I'm gonna say that it's probably a pretty good one if you want to give me a
Tack roll there. I'll give you a advantage on that for sure
Goodie-goodie. I rolled a 19 so I have a 23
23
Could go to the bed. Um, I'll roll your damage for that
That's gonna be 15 damage
Very big hit very to see this melee occurring decide to jump in and help my friends
So Claire runs over to where the masked BTO is and swings her co-pesh with all her strength
All right, all right roll roll that attack for me
That's a 15 plus. 21.17? 17?
Ah, that gets you.
All right, this is a 16 plus.
That's as bad as good as these things can go.
You're wonderful.
Yeah, without getting critical.
So, you know, it's the same thing.
You can avoid taking damage.
You can resolve some stress, which nobody's
taking any stress yet.
That's great.
That's the dream here.
Yes.
You can deal additional damage
or put your co-workers in advantageous positions.
You get to choose two of those.
Oh, I would like to deal additional damage
and put the masked BTO into an advantageous position, please.
Oh, thank you so much.
Well, if you kill Jon Sebastian,
there's a promotion path most likely.
Yeah, you'd be the BTO killer.
I know. a promotion path most likely. Yeah, you'd be the BTO killer. Pfft. Oh. Pfft.
I mean, then the only person that could stop me is a mind hunter.
Oh.
That's gonna be 11 damage.
That is.
Wildly impressive.
This boss is almost down.
Oh, and I see all this commotion, and I run over and I say, at my forehead, and I try
and ram. I've done away with my spike club. I leave that somewhere else, and I just try and I say, at my forehead, and I try and ram, I've done away with my spike club,
I leave that somewhere else,
and I just try and use my forehead.
Sure, sure, sure.
Yeah.
If you want to use my business, it's tired iron.
You're more than welcome.
I think maybe I take the spikes out of the club
and put them to, I fix them to my forehead.
Okay, before you run in there,
this boss does get to respond to these attacks.
Of course.
He takes out the supply chain, which
is made out of paper clips and office supplies
and anything that might be down system.
And he swings it at you.
Oh, can I, I'm going to point at,
your man.
So I'm going to sort of point at Tony Obsidian like, maybe
a trick here.
Okay, okay, so you're going to try
and move some blame onto Tony Obsidian.
Yeah.
All right, so for that, you're gonna have to roll control.
Oh boy.
Yeah.
All right.
Sorry, come on.
Let's see here, I rolled a 14.
14.
Can Tony Obsidian roll a brand check to um oh counteract
That's yeah, yeah, I would like to immediately pretend like I'm still writing emails. Oh
Yeah, I mean
Tony Obsidian oh Tony Obsidian rolls a 13 off by one. Oh, yeah, yeah, Tony. I think this is going to you
Con with my tried and gum. you know what would have been better
14
There's a pie chain hits you for five damage five damage. Yeah, oh that's half of my hit points
Nine Wow
I'm a do you have I've got three yikes?. Yikes, that would have killed you out.
I know, right?
Good thing I pointed.
I'm gonna use that trick again.
I didn't make it complicated.
I have one hip one.
So I probably, you're gonna run the boss right now.
Yeah, I probably got stressed and died.
In some ways it's smart
because you don't have to keep track of anything.
It's like if you get attacked, you dead.
They say the sickest people,
or the smartest people.
Mm-hmm people I love that
same yeah yeah alright let's see if pj can finish off this boss so pj
success again yells his famous catch line I make eye contact with pj and I point
it let's see let's roll it out I got my famous catch line. What's that now?
What do you think?
What's a catch line?
A catch line.
Yes.
A catch line in Sinka.
Yeah, it's like a catch phrase, but it's more of a line.
It's not a full phrase, it's just like a line.
It's like when you can't remember your catch phrase.
Yeah, it's like catch line.
Catch line?
A point of order.
Does a chun ever have to roll since his last name is success. Oh good call
Once per day. I mean if you want to invoke that
One hit point better not waste it no roll for it
Yeah, yeah roll for it. So PJ success you want me to hit
Ernie you want me to hit Tony Obsidian? Yeah, I thought we drank at the Boston hit him not not sabotage
Yeah, no, but I'm just, I don't know.
It's just like we're already on a roll getting in her.
I don't want to turn him on.
I turn him on him.
Claire and Colate mug is just happy to be here.
Is that a tongue-duster?
Yep.
Tony, what do you, oh, yes, Claire.
Not Tony.
Not Tony.
I feel like I'm incapable of saying any of the names.
Claire and Colate mug, what's wrong with that?
Claire and present danger. So I'm going to roll to, to head, Colate mug, what's wrong with that? Clarem present danger, so I'm gonna roll to head,
but aren't you sure, Tony Obsidian?
Let's ask, I mean, we could pull the room.
I mean, this is a valid strategy, if you wanna.
Pull the room, do you have a pole?
I do have a very long spear.
You're gonna spear the room, yeah.
Here, I'm just gonna try and head, but the boss.
Okay, and do I add anything?
Uh, that's gonna be your productive aid.
Okay, so it's a 14 plus a productive 8 is 20.
That's not, so this is a partial success.
Okay.
Which means you're definitely gonna do your forehead damage,
which, and that's gonna be enough to take down the boss.
We did it. The problem is, I think there's some crossfire here.
You're also going to hit the masked BTO at the same time and I think your mask comes off
and it goes on PJ.
Now it's kind of a PJ mask.
Ooh, I know.
It's so sleepy.
But the boss does fall as you know, the mask is knocked off your face.
I think the watch spills out of your pocket
as it mixes with the CFO's blood.
Jeez, I'm a fucking mess.
Yeah, it'll mix with John's investments blood.
Quick, slap your hot dog at that.
Is that your catch line?
Yes, that's my catch line.
It'll come up more.
As the mask touches the blood,
they mix together, it glows with corporate energies.
Oh, yes.
And you can see that it is now attuned.
Oh.
So there's like a mummy in there?
Yeah, it's got synergy with you.
Oh, a tune. Because you bathed it in the blood like a mummy in there. Yeah, it's got synergy with you. It's a true.
Oh, a tune.
Because you bathed it in the blood of a boss.
Wow.
Yeah, you've activated it's synergy.
Okay.
So now once per day, you're gonna be able to activate
the power of a boss.
Okay.
And a part of a boss's power.
Does the rest of the office look cowed
as what we've done?
The rest of the office, I think, is most,
I can roll for them.
That's a 20.
Yeah, I will say, they have turned into cows.
Oh, they are completely cowed.
Very nice.
Yeah, wow.
That's how you want your employees to be.
So, should I use the power of the boss?
I mean, it's once per day.
If you want to do it now,
I mean, there's a whole lot of them.
You're gonna have to feed it the blood of another boss.
If you want to recharge that energy,
it's a strategy thing for sure.
There's a lot.
You know what?
Tony Orlando approaches Tony Orlando.
Tony Orlando.
I want to get the sound of that guy.
Speaking of,
Tony Orlando,
hold on, speaking of, thank you Orlando let up, but speak real. Hold on. Speaking of. Thank you Orlando.
That was also on my list.
Good.
Uh, Todea Obsidian approaches the group.
Mm-hmm.
Hey boys!
Wait, look at what we just did.
Excuse me?
Hey, I use a colloquially.
All right.
We just killed the boss, baby!
That means we're in charge now. I think. It seems like the masked BTO has the boss, baby! That means we're in charge now, I think.
It seems like the masked BTO has the watch, so I guess you're in charge of the party for the time being.
Oh.
For the time being.
Yeah, you are the team lead right now.
Okay.
Right now.
Huh.
Do you have your mask on, or is it still on the floor?
It's on you, PJ.
On you, PJ.
Oh, the PJ mask.
I was just looking for my mask, and I found it. Well, I have my hand. Somebody stop you
Please stop me. I'm on fire. I'm smoking slow down cowboy. I put my hand over my face
So no one can still covers my face smack and I've hit it and
