That was crazy. Wow bonus episode the search for big Moses

And Ace just went oh, we got to go

The whirlwind blesses us with an easy one, you know, you open the door of big Moses right there

Got it right now, and this

That would be kind of crazy. Oh my gosh. We can do it. People would see the time code and be like what? What it's only a minute we can do it guys

Have it crazy. Okay, one of these days though one of these days we have to do that. Why can't it be this day? We kind of just did it

No, no, we got to do it. Why? Who's saying it's our show?

He's not wrong. Oh my gosh. That was

What we could do is we could take that what we just recorded and to make sure that it's still like over the you know

Hour two hour mark that we usually hit we could just

Like lengthen it to two hours like we could just slow everything down so that we speak

That it takes two hours to get through that

Gosh or they're just the rest of this episode is just talking about whatever wow guys

What we already did the whole episode that's my favorite kind of episode

We finished the episode and we just leave like a blank track

Looks like it's two hours but nothing happens but people have to fast work through the whole thing because they're like what is something happening and at like the hour 15

Someone's just like hey, we're still here

We sit here. I'm looking at each other for two hours

And it's just like can we do it? Hey guys, we're still here. Okay

Laura doesn't like the idea even though she technically had it

Wow, wow, what an episode back

To episode that was episode seven so this is what

That should have been episode eight so this would be episode nine. Okay, yeah, so nine and by that we mean chapter

That's right. Welcome to volume three chapter eight. So that means it wasn't Joe who DM last night that's right

Not last night last time. It was Josiah. So Josiah. This is your

Yes, your program. This is my program. Welcome back

What you like to do with the program? Well, I would like everybody to grab dice preferably theirs. This is so much better than digital dice digital dice. It is better

She's digital dice you suck and we hate you

Don't boy

Okay, the bunker is the best thing. What are we doing?

Well, we're just kidding. We just have fun. What we're doing is we're checking the near

We're checking the list and we're checking it twice checking it twice going to find out. What's up? Who's gonna roll dice?

We're going to find out what's up

Santa Claus

The the genres on the list today's the genres

That we have to choose from today are folk lore documentary holiday medieval fantasy and wild card

Our hooks are fugitive dual funeral invention storm and wild card

Interesting and resting Wow really wow. Yeah, she's compelling stuff. Yeah, all right. So

Joe, why don't you go ahead and roll a D6 and that can be for the hook and then

Laura, why don't you go ahead and roll a D6 and that one will be for the genre. Oh, okay

John or today

six wild I wrote a two

dual oh my

This is all immediately good immediately. I love this. There's immediately good. I love this

If I don't get this I'm gonna be pissed. I hope you get it all right

I hope you get it everyone go ahead and grab your 20 side of die

That's a that's D20 for those of you who are inside baseball go ahead and roll those for me one time

Would you baseball wait?

Yes, you want to roll that one

So the one that has 20 sides roll that I know I always roll the same one and I was wondering if that was the one I roll or not

Okay, catch it

Laura, what did you roll five?

Listen, what did you roll?

16 I rolled a seven

No, it's still not Laura. It's still not me. Oh my gosh. I really sad that's not Joe. Joe seemed really sorry. I thought he was gonna have

So good dude, I'm so excited

This is a good listen. This is a good one because that's a great conflict to just out of the gate. What are we gonna do? Yeah, it's easy

I mean I'm easy. I hesitate to say it, but I knew all day

No, no, you don't get to say that after we have the results. You don't get to say that because that's dumb

All right, I'm getting all day. I was like I'm DM. No, nope. You don't get to happen

You don't get to bring that up for the first time after the dice rolls, but I'm not lying

That's such a dumb thing that's such a cop out, but no, it's nothing. Josiah. No, Josiah. I wouldn't lie to you

Welcome in

These are the whirlwind chronicles

Welcome in

Here we are we're into we're getting ready to kind of head into the spring months

We're still in winter. It's still chilly

but

Everyone's kind of there's that like energy in the air of everyone knows that spring is around the corner

The cold is gonna break so it everyone's kind of feeling good. There's a little extra pep in our stack. I feel

I'd say it's late afternoon

What does what does a normal day look like for each of us? I'm just curious like just a quick thing like June probably spent the day

working at the flower shop

Cow what what is like what do you kind of do day-to-day? Are you working?

Cal does not work

necessarily it doesn't have like a normal day job

One of the deals that he has with his parents while he lives at home is that while he lives there

He continues to just practice up on his his thievery skills

Things like picking safes and picking locks and everything so he does that in his spare time. He's also still

Trying to potentially get into like a

Boxing match. He's been taking boxing lessons with his grandpa

Gramps at this point. I think is probably you know we've seen him a little bit

He's like starting to get back back into the swing of things

So his training is probably

Like a vamp ramped back up again

So he keeps himself busy through extra curriculars

But he's not necessarily

Yeah, he's not working

Yeah, he's up a lot of nights

Like lady things into potentially early mornings and then

Figure out what everybody's doing and what all his friends are doing

Yeah

Ace what about you? What do you kind of do during the day?

Aces like around his bunker just

Might be reading some books for silly geese

And will maybe do a little

Do a little do a little Tai Chi you know do a little

Centering of his

Energy dual meditation meditation

Yeah

Yeah, he'll do a little

Do a kung fu out there. Why don't you?

Yes, like it

Okay, and Wendy what what do you yeah? What what is the day-to-day kind of look like for Wendy?

She got a job didn't she

Well, that is something that is new in Wendy's life, I would say she I think in Wendy

Kind of the frenzy try everything

Jump from activity activity sort of immature

Energy that she has has kind of

Calm down. It's ebbed in float. So she's gone through the different little phases where she's you know

Been sad or happy or whatever

But she's finally kind of found like a good rhythm and she's found like a little life in woodbind for the first time

That's like not just around

her whirlwind friends

So she did get a job. She is working as a barista at

Oh

at colipso and when she first started she was drinking way too many of the drinks and then eventually they just gave in and said you get drinks

You're free whatever you drink them anyway, but then they soon realized that she was one of the best for Reese's around

Because she's real fast and she she she gets them done

She gets them done quick during the rush hour and she's become like a trusted worker and and she's gotten her

Got her little friends at the at the coffee shop that she's like made friends with and so that's like very exciting for her

She's also made friends with a lot of old folks in woodbind because she goes and does during the winter months

She's been really restless and wants to figure out something to do active so she goes and does

Like water calisthenics with the old folks

cute at the pool like the indoor pool and so she really really enjoys that and

And she has her like on Tuesday

She goes and helps out at the soup kitchen and she like she has her like routine and it's really

busy and really full and

She's just like full of energy. She's like this is the first time she's ever like really functioned in a society

Like she was around society this whole time, but like now. She's like in society and like doing all the things

Well, okay, and obviously loves the world would adventures and

It's just the same bubbly self. Yeah, she always is

Wait, what about June? What's June? Oh, oh, well, yeah, she's working at the flower shop. That's kind of the big thing

Um, and that's that's what she's up to today. She's actually getting off the first shift and on Wednesdays both June and

Wendy both have shifts and so it's become their routine that Wednesdays is

One of the days that they go to the whirlwind or do a whirlwind

Trip and so it's become routine that June gets off a little bit earlier than Wendy

So June will get off. She'll come by Calypso. So June has clocked out for the day at the flower shop

She walks in the door at Calypso. We hear a little ding of the doorbell

What does she see as she comes in?

Wendy is is

Madly making

cappuccinos and frappuccinos. There's like it's a busy. It's a busy time of the day

Yeah, I was gonna say there's like the after work rush that they get of folks coming in after work for their like

fun drinks

Or or the people who are you know caffeine addicts indeed indeed their third cup of coffee of the day

So she's behind the bar like focused. Okay. All right. June June kind of hops into line makes a little small talk with some of the

Some of the people she knows from around town as she's waiting

Wendy looks up and sees her do not got you and then she like

Continues making other drinks and other drinks, but then she pulls out another cup and it's like

Like what would be June's like go to drink of choice that she always orders

I think she kind of mixes it up a lot and she's been really enjoying letting Wendy just make her things because

Okay, she's kind of learned how to make loose leaf tea now

She's becoming a very sorry assume that Wendy is kind of changed. She's figured that out

She has figured that out. Yeah, she's learned now what that actually me and how to

Real loose and now she was doing it and how to be creative and answer up together

So I still think the other ways better though

Say how did they get through to her

When the Wendy Wendy's Wendy's smart, but she doesn't know a lot. Yeah. Yeah, you know what I mean

So like when she learns it then she gets it

But yeah, so she I think since since Wendy has started working at Calyp

So June has really enjoyed actually just letting her make whatever so she's open to it. You just know she wants caffeine so she takes um she takes like a

Like a

Bag of

Earl Gray and she like

Steeps it in like a little bit of water and then like sort of like London Vogue type style and then she like

She's making like other drinks too. Then she comes back to it and she puts like a little bit of hot chocolate in there and then little bit of

Like a toasted almond flavoring and a little bit of whipped cream little

Yeah, this has been the Laura special lately

I've been making a lot of Earl Gray hot chocolates and they're so yeah, I haven't tried it yet

I really want to try it and she does like a little bit of like

I don't know like one of those

I guess like you know how like at like Starbucks they have like the chestnut pray lean

It's like a little bit of like a nut sprinkle thing that you do on top of the whipped cream

She hands it to you and she and she like she's like been so busy hanging out all these drinks

Because the moment she finishes years she like plops it on the counter and like leans forward on our on our elbows and like

Hey, June tell me what she think that okay. I'm excited. What do you call it? I think I call it the

B

B

You take a sip and then I'll come up with you think you take a sip that I'll come up with the with the title. Okay. I'm gonna take a sip

Oh

It kind of reminds me of like a foggy day. Yeah, like a like a

Like

Did you have an idea? I was gonna call it the mellow hot chocolate. Oh

All right, but I don't love it. It doesn't roll off. What if it was like the windy something?

It's kind of like your name, but like it's also like foggy and windy, you know the mean so like the windy

The wind the blustery cocoa

Um, are you almost done? Yeah, I got one more. Okay. Uh, okay. Well, I have news. So hurry up. Okay

She like makes a final drink and can't sit out and it's like one of the people who's like a regular so she knows their name

Okay, guess what? What?

Jasmine's mom

My boss, right? Yeah

Sap me and Jasmine down today and

Said that she wants to retire and that she wants to make me and Jasmine partners in owners of the flower shop

King. I know. Can you believe it? Congratulations. I know it's so crazy. I heard about this

They're called

Small business owner. I have heard about that cue

That's so cool and apparently if you're a small business owner

You're really doing something live

Yes, well, it's so crazy because I'm small and our business is small so it makes so much sense

So

So safe

So funny and we're super excited and that's so excited

She said if we want to like rename the store we can't so we have to like think of a new name for the store

I like love that. I'm super excited. Do you think that they'll let me do that at clips?

I couldn't get through that one

Wendy, I don't think ellipses is a small business

Oh, really how many are there? Oh, I think there's like 300 or something. Oh

Well, what if they just let me have this one they already got enough you could ask. Okay. I'll ask mr.

ellipses. Oh

I'll reach out. Anyway, I'm super excited. I think it's gonna be so cool. That's so exciting. It's so crazy

Congratulations. She gives you a big hug. Yeah big. Well, we need something to celebrate

Well, we can celebrate me becoming a small business owner. Yeah

Well, we need something to celebrate you be coming

Oh, like we need to do something to celebrate. Yeah. Oh, I understand. I was like we have something to celebrate. Yeah

Well

We could cheers here

She holds a cup. Oh, I didn't grab a dog drink back

Few seconds later

June knows at this point that she's really quick so she just stands right in the middle of the sidewalk and waits for her runs back out with the with the drink

Cheers cheers. How are you? Okay, love you June. Thanks. I'm really excited. I think it's gonna be awesome

Uh, okay, I think we should head on over to the server. Let's do it. I wonder if the boys are there

We are there

We we zoom over to the observatory

Calonace are already there. What are you guys up to and so what you're doing right now is Tai Chi

Yes, and so it's it's kind of like a it's kind of like a warm-up exercise

It's almost like you know how you stretch before for a race maybe

I stretch before I box. Yeah, so this is kind of like that

But you know how like martial arts. It's very it's very fluid. I mean you box. You kind of know fighting

It's like it's fluid. So this kind of helps you. It's like it's like you're doing some of those motions

But a little slower and you're focusing more on the transfer of energy

From the ground all the way up through your limbs and then out through your hands and you're channeling the energy from the ground

Outward and you're supposed to hurt people when you

Not Tai Chi. It's all Tai Chi is like the slow

Version of that where you're focusing more again on how the energy is flowing through your body

Oh, cuz I was gonna say I could like punch you right now. I don't think you'd be able to react if you were doing Tai Chi

You're kind of slow right, but now try to punch me as I'm

So now I'm gonna

I'm done warming up and now we're gonna talk about sparring. It sounds like

All right

So I'm gonna channel energy from the ground now go. Are you gonna do try to strike me?

I

Would just like to our audio listeners to know that Josiah is in full ready to be struck

He's got arms for where he's sitting right now. I don't want to hurt you dude. No, it's fine

Okay, you want her I'm gonna try and punch him. Okay, roll to hit. Okay. I rolled a

14 with disadvantage that hit you. Oh, I'm supposed to look at my AC and that is how do you do work?

Yep, it does not hit it does not hit okay

So you take a hit hit at him and you do actually you do like make contact cuz he's there

But he's kind of or no you're doing what is this

I am no, I don't leave this to the professor

Yeah, I'm sorry, so so you roll that and just like you let us know what happens because of that

So you're just throwing a job you're throwing a hook. What are we doing?

No, just like I take a step into it a little bit and just throw a

Standard punch at you. Okay, so he kind of so

Cal kind of jabs at ace and ace just kind of deflects it with his arm like yeah puts his arms

Forward and like channels, you know, he takes like a stance and it's a very firm and quick motion with his arms

I'm picturing it man. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're picturing it man and that's the correct picture. Yeah, what was that?

And that is called

What dude? All right, I'm gonna try it and I'm gonna throw another punch

I rolled a 13 this time lower. Yeah, and so he just the same thing. He just like deflects it the other way

Dude see how you your strike is coming through but just kind of glancing off of me

But your your momentum is now carrying past me. Okay, so I'm redirecting your energy

Redirecting my your and then using it using it against you because notice you are now

Like one when you struck me and I deflected with my arm. You're now in perfect striking distance for my other arm

You see how that works? Well, I would block that

Right, but you're not ready to do that. I help back my punch my punch is right here and you had nothing up against it

You can't punch from that close. I can it's called the one inch punch prove it observe

Oh

12 12 does not uh

Hit see okay try it again

Do the same thing me punch you yes, okay

I rolled a seven and this yeah, so this time he'll do the same thing and deflect but like punch at the same time

Okay, so the same thing again. Do I roll with the bandage again? I rolled a 10 either way

Okay, so you guys are just whiffing you

You've got to probably come in and we're just like well that's what I was gonna

I was gonna say I was gonna say freaking the door the door did open the door opened quietly and Wendy and June have walked in

And I would like to think that we both stand there watching quietly very much so and the two of us are just like well

And then what I would do is that I punch you now

So I and I throw a punch and I miss he's like

But now I'm in

But see you've left your vulnerable spot over there and so I can punch you in the shoulder and you won't have a chance

And this is sparring guys you're terrible this

This is awful. We're sparring. We're not fighting for real. You're missing each other every time

That's sparring

Oh

Wendy walks over and sits up on the counter and holds her coffee

Wendy have you ever sparred before?

Nope. Okay, well then don't listen to June

This is

Leave it to the professional when he's gonna walk over a punch cap

Or when the S I meant June

It's a natural one

What the what yeah, you're just too short. Yeah, I literally just can't reach

You can't reach me you know this

Yeah, hopefully I could take all of you all anytime

Go punch go punch Kelly don't do that. I've already punched him before

That is true. She has punched me true. I always said that. I don't think I've ever been proud of you

Yeah, I don't my actions speak for themselves. What ace and I are doing is simple sparring

It's just where it was the training exercise. We weren't fighting for real. Right? We weren't fighting for real

Right, I was simply showing you my moves right and he was showing me some of his moves. Right. Well

That's great

I'm really happy those were great moves and she's like eyes go a little wide like oh, okay

Thank you seem like you really enjoyed yourselves. I'm really happy for you

You are currently looking at the new co-owner of the flower shop

Small business owner. It's me. I'm a small business owner now. You are how small is your business?

Well, it's a flower shop. Well, she's small but her business is big

Well, it's like a it's like a medium I do you know anything about running a business well

No, but Jasmine knows a lot and also you work for Jasmine. No, we're gonna be co-owners. We have equal stake in the

Jasmine works for you. No, we work together. Wait, you have a stake company. I thought you sold flowers. No

Are you butchers now? No, it's flowers

Guys, you just be happy for me. Okay, we are happy. We are happy. We're just also a little confused as all

It's not I don't sell steak. Okay

Hey, ryle

That's you that's not me this time

Yes, that's not how he sounds try to cut

That's not him

Yes, Wendy and Wendy's put her cup down and like scooted off the counter and grabbed the book

I think we're ready to go. This is gonna take a while for them to figure this out and she puts it on the pedestal while you guys are talking

Okay, no having

Did ryle responding to us just describing what we do?

Ace, I don't think you're following having stake in the business is a thing that business owners

Do where once they buy a business or whatever the two the two or however many of them have a dinner in the business

They have steak and they eat that steak as kind of like a partnership bond. Oh, so like they they agree over a state

That's right. Oh, okay, that's what I've understood it to be well that makes sense

You know, you know, we know these kinds of

I'm 25 20 27 25. I could be one of those as well. Now Cal. I do remember

Now that I think about it every time my father has made a business arrangement or a deal right

They've done so over a fancy dinner. Yes. One person at least gets to that's right

Yeah, we have a lot of stake this makes perfect sense. They're actually very high stakes in what we do

So we'll have stakes in high places sometimes. Oh, so you go to you go to the um the

Was it the golden tower?

Well, sometimes like we've been up there and we're like doing a job trying to steal something and there's high stakes there

So we yeah, the restaurant is very high. Well, I've never been with them. They don't trust me to go up there yet

And as this conversation continues

We do hear the the whirlwind begin to pick up because uh when he has placed the book on the pedestal

The wind begins to grow and

Tell us go

Begin to glow

Oh, the telescope is glowing. Yeah, it's glowing this time and the numbers are flipping

Wow, it's very exciting. Does anything surround us? Um

Something of a familiar blue light

Okay

Seems to surround you. Wow

Uh, and things come to

A stand still as you have landed in your new location now next time we'll talk

You know, I got to tell you about you know when when a business owner talks about making bread in the company that

Well, I've seen bakeries before

Lot of business make bread. We do have a lot of bakeries. There's a lot of delicious. There's a lot of dough

They talk about dough a lot. Oh yeah Wendy walks over and opens up the door

We'll talk about that later. Yeah, man. I'm getting hungry. Yeah, it's same. The June June goes over to the book

uh

Uh, you open up the door

And out there you see uh a

What looks like a little what looks like a town like it looks like you're kind of coming out of a building in a small town

um

And everything looks very

Very just regular town like to you as the light kind of hits you in the eyes and so it's a little bright out there

Uh

June kind of hollars out. It says find a way to be normal again

That's what I'm sorry. That's what the book says. Yeah kind of time frame where we look at what this town

Is this like an old-timey situation? We'll get there. Okay

um

Wendy as you're kind of adjusting to seeing what's what's out here

You notice that the building across the street from where you're where you've been looking out

Is made of

cardboard

Or

But it's like it's like a it's nice cardboard. It actually looks like a matchbox

cut

And then you kind of are looking at like these street lights next to you and you realize that it's

It's got like a thin metal

Piece and then sitting on top of it is a lit up ball, but it it looks like a marble

Like

And and you're kind of looking around and

And see you I mean you see some like regular people milling about

and

You look down at the at the road

and

What would have been cobblestone streets are waffles

Waffles waffles

Yeah, like echo waffles that have little tiny squares in them

So it looks like cobblestone, but you're like that's a waffle

Are they regular sized waffles or are they very large waffles?

They look very large because they're

This so the squares and these were waffles are we could fall into these squares

Uh, no, there's somehow quite small squares still, but they're big waffle. Okay

So basically a cobblestone street made of waffle. We're looking at a waffle house kind of waffles small squares big waffle. Yep

Okay, so

But like is everything

Big did I did I get a sense that everything is just bigger versions of what it is so

So you're looking at a house made out of a matchbox either we're really small ace or

Everything's really big, but why the waffles? I don't know

I don't know any why would I know anything about this place? I that's a good question

What is the name of this place does the book tell us that? No, no, okay

The wall the waffle just says the book just says

Find a way to be normal again. Okay. What's the weather and what's the like biosphere? Yeah, what what are the trees look like in the grass? So there's

It it's it's interesting

There is light like you're surrounded by light, but it doesn't feel like warm sunlight

It feels very

White fluorescent light

There's light everywhere

But there's not

Yeah, you're like I don't see a sun. I just see light emanating huh upon us and the air just feels

You know with warm blue skies

No, like it's just all that you can see above you is light

Like it's not like it's just yeah, it's just like what so what's like what is the expansiveness around us like like

You can't tell you don't really tell sort of like a sound stage vibe of like maybe okay, maybe okay?

Are there trees and grasses?

Um as are you exiting the building? Yes, okay as you as you're all exit you feel fine. Everything feels you feel good and normal

Um speaking of bread

Waffles I step outside

Okay

There's no syrup on these waffles yet. Oh, that's good. Yeah

Uh

You turn you kind of turn and you're like looking between some alleys and you're seeing

Your because you're looking for some trees and you can see there are

Some trees that kind of like line the street or are down like a street or two and as you kind of like look at them

They look like big pieces of broccoli

Oh

Okay, so we're in a like a food world

Well, but it's not all food because it's also matchboxes and marbles

I'm gonna say we're just in a tiny town a tiny town of makeshift things

Should we get syrup from the kitchen and try to eat the waffle floor? So I

I start like looking into town as I begin to slowly just start walking in that direction in what direction

Towards the town let's go guys

We're in the middle of it as you wow, dude look at all these small businesses around here

Nice I will also bring it all the way round what

What do you see

Whatever you think you said I promise you that's I said bring it all the way all the way around

That's what I heard the way I said it I was like bring all way round bring it all bay round is what he said

Bring all bay round I heard I bring it all the way around all right well

Um when you turn back to go close the door to the observatory

I'm sure something what somebody does when you peek in there you you see the observatory is massive

Oh, so we're all of a sudden really small

Yeah, like like the door like the moment we step out of the door the door the door is

Your size of who you are, but when you peek back into the observatory it's

Huge like it's like the tables look like skyscrapers the the bookshelf looks like

I love it reaches to the heavens. Oh my god. Oh my gosh

Cal I'm not climbing up there to get to see you're you're gonna have to do

Cal I think our worst years have been realized

Cal when you're all small though everyone sounds the same. Yeah

I think I think you're gonna have to climb the Mount Everest of Mount Everest

Okay, I don't think we need syrup guys

Cal, but we could try to eat the waffle floor. There's probably syrup around here maybe that's true

What were you gonna say? I was our worst fears have been realized and we now have to walk mile and June shoes

I'm not this small

And ever since you mentioned eating the waffles when he keeps looking down and then finally just comes and

tries to grab a chunk of it to eat it

Oh my gosh if you you when you reshown and touch it

It's like a waffle that has been sitting out

For a very long time. It's not moldy, but it's very hard like you would have to like take a a pickaxe to a gosh never mind

Like I've never stopped the lady before

But it's like they have hardened significantly. They probably been sitting on petrified waffles. Yeah, basically

What is this place have you guys ever heard of this type of

Place? No, no, I

This looks like tiny world is this like maybe there's like a big hamster or something that lives in this little town

Oh, you know, that would be so scary. That would be kind of scary

I guess there's like broccoli trees, so maybe they maybe not because then maybe they need all the trees

Are there any people around? There are there are a lot of people around and they look normal. Yeah, they look like you actually are seeing

all humans

Um is what it appears to be we see them all um you see they are all humans

Um, and they all seem pretty normal. They're wearing um

They're wearing

They're wearing regular people modern looking type clothes um and but yeah, they are all human

Um, do we like stand out like a sore thumb then like

Are people looking at us confused? Yeah, yeah, people are kind of glanced in your way, but like continuing on

Um, not nobody's like gasping, but they are kind of like

Curiously looking, but it almost looks like the type of looks

Give me some insight checks. I want to kind of

Find a guy that like I want to make eye contact with somebody that looks confused looking over at us

And when they may when I make eye contact just be like excuse me sir. Can you

Can you tell us a little bit about where we are?

Uh

What do you want to know?

Hi, my name is Cal nice to meet you. I know I look a little different than you and you're probably confused

But uh, I just wanted to know uh where we are I've never

Did a little confused of where I am sure uh, well can't say I've been here before and that might be weird

Well, no, that's that's I mean that's understandable that you know

Everyone has to get to a place for the first time sometime. That's true

Uh, my name is Floyd Floyd. Nice to meet you. Um

Yeah, I've been here for uh, I've actually only been here for a month and a half okay um, but

Uh

It's you know everything's

We're small

Well, yeah, we got that yeah, yeah, it was more the rest of why we're small than where we are and why there's

Just like a shining light above us like is there uh, do you guys have like a sky or an atmosphere? What's on here? Um

Like I said, I'm pretty new so trying to figure that all sure um

All I know is that occasionally everyone panics we run into our houses

I think there must be like I've never I've always made it inside before everyone else has well congratulations

Thank you, um, but it sounds like something scary goes on okay

Uh, but people don't really like to talk about it. So I'm not really sure and you said you've only been here a month and a half

Right, so when you come from before that like how did you get here? Right, so uh, I grew up in Kentucky

And I'm now I'm here

How America's now can I'm so confused. How did you get here then? Yeah, maybe I missed that

I don't know. Did you like go to sleep wake up here?

Kentucky is the country. I'm from the country

Have you you've never heard of the world where Kentucky was a

What um and what what's content?

What continent is that on

What

Where is Kentucky

Uh, I mean, it's on the cube. It's on the cube

What other countries are on the cube

Hey stop we don't want me to name all of them. I mean, I don't like I could do that

What's your name? If I sat down, I might be able to name it. No, no, no, don't worry. Yeah, that's fine

No, you're good. We'll take 20. Okay. No, we won't

Might take me some time. What's your name again? So I forget Floyd Floyd from Kentucky. Yeah

The country right on the cube on the cube

That's right

Cool

Where are you are you guys from uh, Cal from woodbind from woodbind? Is that on the cube? No, okay

There's others here that aren't from the cube. Oh really? Yeah, so you guys come from a lot of different places. Yeah, yeah, cool

So this is June. She's also from woodbind. Hi. This is uh, Wendy. She's nope. You pointed at me. I'm ace

Sorry, this is ace. Sorry ace. Oh, and this is Wendy. Hi. Well, it's yep. I'm from woodbind. That's really nice too

So no, okay, I'm sorry. I have to get back to this idea like one day you showed up here like you're just doing

I went to sleep one day in my hammock and then I woke up and I was here

And you went to sleep in Kentucky

Right

Do I have yeah, did they show it to you? No. Oh, I'm so sorry. So what do you do is try and get back to them? Well, there's a lottery

There's a lottery yep

This is awesome a lottery to get go back to your home. Yeah, okay

And is that where you were headed now? Where were you going now? Uh, well, I'm heading to work actually

You work there's commerce here. Yeah. Well, we just kind of do it to have food, you know

So I work in the mind we get the sugar from there. Oh, okay sugar mine

Yeah, paid

Well, I don't so basically we all just kind of pitch in that's nice and then there's like food sure

Oh, okay, there's been a month and a half and you're just resigned to your fate. No, no

I I try to get my name in the lottery got a lot of trouble, but what does a lottery do?

Oh, so so

So this I know a lot about because that's really all I care about frankly. Well, yeah, I bet you probably want to go

You get your name in the lottery in the cube right you get your name in the lottery

You in order to get more names into the lottery you commit acts of kindness to people around you

Oh, and that gets more names into the lottery of your name and then if your name gets pulled

You then head into the arena and there's a duel

and

And then do you have to fight some you have to fight somebody else on in the lottery? Yeah, so you fight somebody else in the lottery

Wow, how did they come up with that idea it seemed like it was going so well

Everyone's nice and you work and there's food and then you you duel so

So that was that was um that was the creator decision the creator and so you guys

You guys know the creator no that I don't know. Okay. How do you talk to the creator? I don't know create Kentucky in the cube

I'm so confused. This is a duel to the day. No. Oh my goodness

Oh, why would we kill each other? I don't know where we're from doels mean something you did say there's a duel

I did there are many options for what you can do for a duel. They'll even accept if you have ideas of what you think a good

Duel might be that you just have to dole someone yet. Okay, so what are you? What's an example of a duel?

um

pie eating contest

so

So me and then the other guy who wants to leave we both see who eats pie and the

The same amount of time who eats the most pie and the winner goes

The winner gets to go home how

I'm not sure but they get really big and then they're poof they get really big and then they poof they

They grow really really tall they like start to become what is probably regular size

And then they before it would be destructive to our population. They poof

Are you sure they're not like dying when they poop? Nope, but that's the only hope we have

So there's so many other hopes

No, I mean, I mean my it's our only hope to leave

So we're like theoretically, we just have to believe it's not death because we have no proof of it otherwise

Naturally, I guess I don't want to die, man. The creator came up with that. That's what I'm told. Yeah. Got it. Who's the creator? I don't know

No, some people have they have I mean, but it's terrifying

I don't know okay, what do you mean terrifying then I'm not sure but everyone everyone who has seen him like

And you did say that you guys will just like run and hide into your house sometimes. It's really scary. So what tre- what triggers that um, I'm not sure

You're not sure you've been here a month and a half and you said you're the fastest one to run inside

No, I'm just I pretty much stay next to doors all the time because I'm scared

But then you know why to go in the door. Oh, well, wait. There's like an alarm system

What is the alarm signal you have to go indoors to what?

I've ever asked I'm too scared. Please Floyd from Kentucky on the

What happens does the earth rumble does the earth the birth? Yeah, yes, the birth the birth

No, I'm trying to say earth and then with a bee and then I was like now that did where

When he's just testing, I mean what I would say what I would say back home is that the cube rumbers with a bee

Would you say? I just thought I'd say earth with a bee

Oh

Yeah, that's what we do

Earth is not a brand

We are allowed to say earth earth is public domain. We're allowed to say that

It's not trademark

Well technically earth is just the ground that you're on, isn't it?

We would call it the cube personally. It's sorry the cube, but it so it does kind of feel like the cube shakes or whatever

The cube here is and then do you hear people do you hear

Why the thunder do you hear their destruction like what what are you afraid of?

Like I said, I'm pretty um, it kind of really freaks me out

And so I usually run and hide and I don't like to but what are you afraid of I don't get it. It sounds scary. Okay

Have you guys ever been out like nothing to be afraid of because I don't even know what I was afraid of

Well other people have been out there and they've been like so terrified. You know what I see it and then what and you don't want to die

I saw the most scary thing the other day aren't you terrified?

Yeah, she's got to

I was the most scary thing

What's wrong with this guy? I don't know. He's afraid of she didn't say anything

But but she said she saw something really scary

So Floyd are you scared because other people told you that you're supposed to be scared

No, I'm scared because it's scary because you heard of the people say it's scary

Um, yeah, they're not gonna lie to me about it

Right, that's right. You've only been here for a month and a half and everyone will be completely honest to you

Right except when you're doing did you say how dumb is bricks? Yeah

Well that you're gonna lose your chances in the lottery way. Don't you got him acts of kindness

So you guys aren't actually sure that you're small

Because technically you all showed up in the same everything around you could just be big

You could just be a really big awful and then you just get bigger. Well, then you're just turning into a giant

Um, I

Everyone's told me that we're small

You see what be a guy that just listens to everything everyone

I'm only big here for a month and a half man

And we're all trying to commit acts of kindness, and so they're not gonna lie to me

So and so you're on of course not

No one would ever lie to you

Okay, you know, I don't think you're being very kind, ma'am

I'm please excuse my friend. I'm being serious Floyd. Don't you believe me? No

Oh, there you go Floyd. It doesn't believe me. All of a sudden Floyd doesn't believe you

Yeah, because you're talking to me with eyes like that nobody ever talks to me like that

But this is just

Everyone talks like this where I'm from. Oh, all right

Okay, oh back

And in exhaustion

So okay, so um Floyd what would be the that is my way you be your recommendation for us as as new individuals to

What do you guys call this place?

I don't know you don't know you've been here a month and a half yeah, okay

So what would you uh what would you recommend that we do to start our our lives here acts of kindness find a job

You can get to know that you can meet the mayor the mayor you can just meet the mayor if you want to

Wait Floyd Floyd from Kentucky is the mayor someone that you have talked to before who has told you

The things that you do know about this place. Yeah. Oh perfect. That's great. Let could you point us in his direction?

Sure, oh great and we're just points down the road

When he's already walking fantastic. Thank you Floyd. That is a very kind act that you just did and I agree and he takes out a

Pad of paper from his back pocket and starts writing on it

No, uh Floyd, what what are we writing down here?

Uh told gave directions to the newcomers. Okay, where did you get that and then he puts a like thumbprint

He'd like ink. There's an ink pad attached to it and then puts a thumbprint there

You know it's not a real act of kindness if you're doing it for a reward. That is a good point. Huh

Well, we could dive into a very deep discussion on

Uh morals there, but um we could we could for now

I would ask where did you get that pad? Is it a special pad?

Are you just kind of fine? Does everyone have a pad? The mayor gave it to me. Okay, so we'll get pads from the mayor. We'll go talk to the mayor. Okay, perfect. Thank you Floyd

Thank you Floyd from the country of Kentucky on the cube. No problem. It was nice to meet you guys nice to meet you sir

Okay, I hope you are able to get big and poof or whatever. Thank you. Yeah, get home to yeah Kentucky. Uh and at that moment

You hear what sounds like these like jingling bells

Um Santa they they sound like they sound like Christmas bells Mr. Tobacco and they

Tobacco's here. Oh, yeah, they sound like evergreen week the evergreen bells

Um and they start tingling and everybody in the streets starts like running into buildings. Uh okay

This is the scary thing that he was talking about and and the people the people um

Uh

Like nearest to you literally like open a door go get inside get inside go quick quick go inside. I'm just

Dang it out of here. No, no, no, no, you have to go inside. We're all gonna get in trouble. We're gonna go in this house. Oh boy

Oh brother, we can look outside. Don't figure out what's going on. We should play the first one.

Carefully just again. Can we? Yeah. Okay. All right. Let's all go in this house. We all go in the house close the door. What is the house of like?

Um, it's like from the outside is it like a it's a matchbook again. Okay. Yeah, most of the buildings around here are matchbooks

Um in this section that you guys are in. Yep

um

And you guys go inside um and it is it's really just

Looks like all of these regular

Like household items that have been that are tiny in your life and have been repurposed to work in a little house

So there are like there's like a stack of pennies on the shelf

For like that are probably used as plates. Oh, okay, and there's like

Thimble stools and there's like like just I have a lot of

I know that's not great. We'll build it. No, that's okay. It's a lot of tiny things. Yeah, I think world um

And there's there's like this um

Uh

Lady in there

And she's got um she's got long blonde hair and um

Is

Kind of like in the corner of the house

You guys can come on in. It's okay. Don't worry. I stay in the doorway

Um with the door open or closed with the door open please close the door why because we can't be seen

Are there windows on this door on this?

No, there's no windows

No, please just close the door. All this is just crack so she can still see it. Oh

Oh, you just have to be careful

Keep it so close. We can't be seen. We won't you just hide back there. We just really need to know you can't be seen either

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I crack it so I can look outside but I will be hidden. Okay

Um as you're sitting there um

World of stealth check for me. My stealth is not very good

Uh, but I've rolled a 10 so I've nine as you're peeking out onto the street

You can see

You can see like the the eve of the roof that kind of comes out across the um

Like over the doorway

And then you can see the buildings right across from you. You can't see you can't get a direct shot of the

Whatever this guy is here

And as you

Are looking

Um the the light

In the area gets a little dimmer for a second and then you can see

Uh, a very bright light goes swinging across in front of the door um

That that you're looking out of like you can see it and it looks like it's shining directly down from above like onto the street

and it kind of like

holds

In front of the house you see it go forward a little bit you see it come back a little bit like a like a search light like yeah

Like it kind of seems like a stress off like I'll because like the light from the

Whatever you looking on out. It hasn't it hasn't entirely gone out

But it does seem like it got dimmer. Okay, um and this light that's shining um is a

Is a green light

So there's like this strange green light. Yeah, I forgot to say that um and it's it kind of go

You see it go in front of the house a little bit go down the street go up the street and then disappears

and you feel um

As the light moves away you feel like you feel the ground rumble

And it's kind of like a rumble

Is it almost reminiscent of like huge footsteps?

It could be

I turned to the lady in private

I think it's the creator

I think that's the creator. I thought it was like helping you get out of here by doing nice things

But but we make it found for some reason we're

We can found it

I just disappear we just know how long does this last it not very long

Like maybe another it's been yeah, it's been about a minute probably another another minute and then it'll be done

And that's that's usually it for for usually a day

Sometimes it happens more than more than once in one day, but I think I think

I think we'll be okay. We're all inside

We're being quiet

And after a minute or two um

You

Like as you're peeking outside you see the light skip brighter outside

And a few people start kind of coming out of their houses and resuming whatever they were doing

She opens up the door and walks out and like looks up at this guy looks the same

What was that we got to go talk to them. Yeah, we got to talk to that mayor. Let's go

Oh

Maybe no, but the man it sounds like the mayor knows some stuff because Floyd says that the mayor's talk to the creator so

He did this sounds this sounds like a false like this sounds like a hoax to me. He's pretending to know the creator and then

Just

Metal out is like the bizzard of balls

Kind of or like the wizard

The wizard of balls. Yeah, boss might be necessarily the wizard

People are back out on the streets. We're going to talk to the mayor. We need to go talk to the mayor

Yes, okay. All right, so you had in the direction that Floyd pointed you and we should probably do nice things on the

And write them down Wendy. We might need your craft book. Oh, brother Wendy. What do you talk about? We're saying we need your craft book

But first time it doesn't count if you're doing it for reward

I agree I fully agree and we should look to actually maybe actually be nice

But we also need to get out of here and it says to try to be normal again

So we got to but like oh, I think regardless of your intentions doing something nice for someone is still doing something nice for someone

So it's still it's not like it's worth nothing to be nice

Do you have any silly just because there's an incentive however, I don't think it's not worth nothing, but I just don't like it

Yeah

However, maybe these people are not getting out of here because they're not actually doing things nice

They're doing things nice for the incentive

But it sounds like some people are getting out

Yeah, that's true, but maybe those people are actually doing really June

Are they really getting out I don't think I also don't think it's a dishonorable intention to

Um, do nice things because you're in prison and it's the only way out

Well, I don't think that it makes you a bad person for letting that be a better

I think it just depends on your heart

I think that I think I agree with June on that one

Because I do things that are nice and sometimes I benefit from them

But I also like to do things that are nice

No, brother. You tried to punch me earlier. Yeah, keep walking

You

Uh

Are there any nice things you'd like to attempt to do along the way? No

I'm just gonna just say hello to people. Oh, keep my eyes open for hello neighbor. Oh, I'll keep my eyes open

You're having a wonderful day. Oh, thank you

You too

What did you say? I'll just

Yeah, if there's a way to be nice. Okay

You kept his eyes open

Um, you see you turn to

You guys take you head down the street and you hit a

A fork in the road. Oh my gosh. There's a four. Well, let me pick it up. Don't step on it. Sorry. I grab it. It's too big

Oh, right. It's it's huge. Oh, man. No, we can't pick this fork up. Okay. Well, let's just walk around it and keep going

Be careful though. Don't walk out of it

Like it's like like a

Okay, so I'll care for a step over it or you can't step over it. It's you. Okay. We'll all carefully walk under it

Oh, yeah, you can walk under it. That would be fine

Yeah, and underneath it you can see that there's a ton of names written

It seems like people have kind of like graffiti the underneath of this fork the love fork

Oh, the love fork. Yeah, they're all they're all little hearts like, you know, M plus T

That probably stands for

Matt plus

Titus. Oh, I just I don't know

Let's keep going

Uh, and so you keep on you keep going on the road and eventually you hit a spot where you could go left or go right

We've hit another we've hit two paths. Which way do we want to go? Huh, let's down each path. Uh, if you take a look down the left path

Um, there's a bunch of buildings that you can see our staplers

The buildings are staplers the building is a stapler

Um, and then it's not even work

You could go find out

Uh, and then on the left side um, there's a path and there's a bunch of buildings that look like um

Um, you got it

What is it a whole buncher

So there's like a bunch of stapler buildings and a bunch of hole puncher the hole punchers

Um, and is there a sign that says mayors house or something?

Is there a building that looks like the central building of a town

Not from where you can see right now, but if you look, you use a stapler. I'll say give me a perception check. Okay

Not good

Seven

Anyone else can as well

Just kind of yeah like a general just like what's going on taking lead

We need to go just that way that sounds good

Uh

Five

Okay, um on the stapler side um, you can see there's a guy

Um, he seems like a slightly older gentleman. He's got some salt and pepper hair

Um

And he is setting up a ladder uh underneath the

Um, like you know, like the head of the stapler. Yep, and you can see on the stapler

There's like a staple sticking out of it like the two prongs. Okay, and he's like setting up a ladder under there

Um

That's the only really notable thing happening on either of these streets. I'll go ask that guy

So we'll go down that way towards the staplers. Okay

Excuse me sir my my good man

Hello

Hello, I well sir. I humbly and kindly come before you

To ask if you know where the mayor lives

If you have to say it's humble and kind then is it really? That's what I was saying

Well humbly I would say yes

And kindly I would say probably yes. Okay, but yeah, can you point us to where the mayor lives?

Oh, sure, but first would you mind helping me?

Of course gladly and kindly you would we would love to my senior would you

My man would you do it humbly as well? A humbly we will help humbly kindly

How long is it going to take in fact? I'm humbled that you would allow us to help you three to five business days

I'm just kidding

That's how that is a very funny joke

That would be a long time for me to ask you to help me

That's certainly would

Classic

Sorry, what's your name didn't get your name my name. Yes, my name is

Ralphio

Ralphio

Ralphio

Classic Ralphio I was gonna say beautiful name. Thank you. I'm the third of my name

Is it third of your name?

Ralphio third of his name. Ralphio the third of my name

Wow, so every many days

Uh a new staple appears in my stapler

And it's a hazard to anyone who may run into it and I just needed to be hammered closed

Um, but hey, I'm just getting old in my age and heading up this ladder is challenging for me

Would you mind? Well, of course my senior ace go on up there. Yeah, I can I can help you sir. I have been here for

Hmm

Three barrows

Three barrows wow barrows. What does that mean? Were you young and spy when you first arrived?

I was younger and spryer to be certain now sir the man we met we just met was here for three for one and a half months

How does a month relate to a barrow? I don't know. Okay, so what is it? Where are you from can I ask?

You can uh, I'm from

Singapore

Singapore and that wouldn't have to be on the cube wouldn't

Sounds like gibberish

I would love to

Singapore I just like my brain. Oh, man. I'm from

simk

simk, okay, uh now is that on the cube?

No, I don't think so. No, uh, gotcha. Okay, so so I guess time can touch you the country from the cube is yeah

Did you fall asleep and show up here? Did something else happen? I

was out uh

I was out tilling the field and I blinked and here I was now sir

um

Is there like a day and night cycle here?

Uh, yes, how many of those would you say that you have uh, sure sure sure like a rough estimate rough estimate few

Few hundred I'd say 200 and you say you have a new staple every day. Oh every few days every few days

Because I was gonna say that's a lot of staples for the stapler to hold if you're yeah, are you like are you refilling?

Is your staple the oh stapler the only stapler?

All of our staplers this happens and you're and you're ref are you refilling the stapler who's refilling?

I don't I've never had to refill it. Well, I hope it it empties one day. Right. That's what I was wondering

Surely I'm towards the end

I would think unless when the light in the sky appears maybe they refill it

Hmm, so when you hammer the ends up

So that it doesn't poke anybody doesn't ever like fall out of the stapler or usually it eventually falls out

Okay, so should I recognize that that's probably shortening the amount of time that it would stay up there

Yeah, however, it's so dangerous that it's worth it. Can we just pull it out?

And then put it to the side so that it doesn't hurt anyone sir

I guess you could yes people here don't think

Listen, there's a lot going on around here miss be nice. What's got no our views. What's going on around here?

Ralfios, it's terrifying every few hours every certain amount of time we've to hide that green light actually is

I do not know

Then why is it so terrifying because when you get caught in the green light, it's very bad

I've lost friends that way what what happens they're gone

Like what like going to pick up or scooped up or they're gone Wendy like we don't know where they go

They disappear in thin air

No, they're grabbed by what?

By a very large

Grabber by very large grabber. What's a grabber? I mean it looks no it looks like

Um

Like a claw to metal pieces that that squish together and grab them

tweezers tweezers. I don't know about this

Well, it's terrifying sir

We are going to help you with your stapler problem ace get on up there

And if you could tell us where the mayor lives so that we could go speak to him. I would be happy to yes. Thank you

That would be very nice of you and then you head up the ladder ace is gonna head up the ladder

Ace got you get on his heads up the ladder to help the man. Okay, uh, and are you trying to hammer it closed or pull the stapler out staple out I am going to

Well, what does the man tell me to do? He said to hammer it close and cal's idea with the camera. Okay, sure

We're all a strength check for me

Just eyes looking at his dice like there's a moose on it or something

So I picked up my die kind of clumsily, uh-huh, and I truly don't know if it was a 7 or 17

Those numbers are right next to each roll it again. Yeah, roll it again

Tonight okay

Okay, so it takes you like five minutes after you've like hammered one side move the ladder hammer the other side teach you like five minutes

Um

But you are able to get it to close and be no longer a danger to those who are happy

uh

Well, I thank you. This was so kind of course. What a what a kind act. I hope your name your name

I'm sure is in the lottery again. Well his name I should do we write that down or is it just automatically magically there?

Oh, it gets added. It does. Well then you're we saw somebody writing down their kind acts in a notebook. Oh, was that fluid? Yeah, yeah, he's

He's a he's an odd one. Okay, so you know fluid. I do

Okay, he told us a lot of stuff. He's very afraid. He is very

He's very afraid, but to be fair sir a bit of a coward really, but to be fair sir humbly

I would say that you also seem very afraid. I am afraid, but he takes it to he won't even ask about it because he's afraid to even think about it

I see gotcha so he doesn't represent

Where most people are at in terms of uh, I wouldn't say no. I wouldn't say so no and what are you and what and where are we?

Do you know the name of this place?

There isn't really a name. Okay. No. All right, because one's ever named it. I mean not that I've been told

I kind of think we all want to get out of here so we'd rather not get attached. Do you know what the next lottery is?

The next lottery? Yeah. Oh, there's one every night. Oh, okay. So we got one tonight

Well there you go and every sets every night all the names are set so you work kind every day. How do you know that these people are

quote-unquote gone when they get snatched uh

Well, they could just be taking home. Yeah

Then you're going to have anyone ever tested it out? Oh

You mean the people that get oh that's snatch up not disappear

Because there's the people who disappear who go poof at the at the duel. Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you're talking about the ones with the green light

Yeah, I understand. How do we know?

Uh, well

You know, well most of them not all of them

most of them actually end up back here

What? Huh? So then why do you guys are why are you scared? What

What do they say? Yeah, what did they say they saw they can't remember their memories are terrible, but they seem traumatized

What in the world is going on? I'm telling you it's terrifying. There's a reason we don't want to get snatched

Because you'll just forget everything you'll forget everything in the bits that you remember don't seem good

Wendy's eyes narrow and cynicism

I don't know why this young lady wouldn't doesn't believe me

Well, I believe you believe what you're saying. Hmm, right. I don't like what's going on

Well, if you would like to try it miss

Feel free. Well, thank you sir. We're going to we're going to go to the mayors. Oh, can you please?

Right. Yeah, keep on going down this road. Okay, you'll hit a spoon in the road. A spoon pass that we already passed the fork

Yes, yes, there's lots of cutlery around the roads. That's dangerous. It is

There are hazards. Yes, they're too large

Then you'll pass the mine

Okay, the sugar mine the sugar mine

And if you keep if you continue on

You will then hit the mayors house goodness gracious. He lives way out there. He lives past the mines

Well, the town is just one long strip

No, because there was another direction that we could have gone. Well, that's true. There's too long strips

I forgot about there's a whole puncture strip and the stapler strip. Yeah, it precisely

Okay, it doesn't stay staplers the whole time well. Yeah, because we're still at the fork in the road

No, no, we passed the fork was the fork went back there now we're at the left or right in the road

We got to the fork and then we went to the left or right

I feel like I remember some sort of a narrator or something saying oh, you're at the fork and this guy's right there on the side before you decide

No, no, we walked under the fork and there were there were there were things there's

The two pathways the left right area that's the left right which is right here. Yeah

But it's not a fork in the road the fork in the road is

Many it's back the way sir. Hopefully. I thank you for this and hopefully I I you're welcome

I wish I really got confused

Okay, so the fork and the road and the two which ways are different and we know that yes, okay

And the two strips do they do they meet at the same spot they do so it's all one road then they split

Then they run parallel to one another and then they remete

And then it's one strip again. That's why I got confused understood no worries. I fully forgive you sir

And now my last question is how in the world do you live in a stapler?

Where do you live in there oh so do you have staples in your world? Yeah, you do but they're small

Well, yes my world as well, okay, you know where all the um how darn I'm thinking of whole bunchers

I'm sure that would be them over there. Sorry over there

They live where all the little white paper the paper pieces get stored

Okay, that's like a little container. Okay, sure, but that's for the whole purchase

I live in the stapler where nothing is really I live where the staples are stored so you should be able to just pull them all out

No, they're so large

So

If there's how many staples staples do you see when you go in there? Well, they're covered by the floorboards

It is a house up there. Okay, so you live at like a diagonal

No, well staplers are kind of diagonal aren't they?

No, not unless you push them down every needle. It's our vote using our hands to try to figure out how angled staplers are

Well, yeah, but you're not pushing and pushing them down right when you when they get pushed down then they're an angle

okay

well um

So

Do you ever find that you get woken up suddenly in the middle of the night and

Flung either upward or downward and then your whole room is slanting for a bit. No, I don't believe the stapler has ever used

so how

Is a new

Staples getting pushed in that's a good point. We did ask so off as well as how is it getting filled?

Well, you live in there. I know it must not be getting full filled. I'm gonna run out eventually. You are gonna run

Also, it assuming the stapler probably assuming the stapler works the same as the staple the stapler that I've used before

I like doesn't your ceiling get pushed down at some point in order for one staple to stick out slightly

That's not how staples work around here

Okay, thank you sir. We know I get pulled out of there then the new one is just there

That's how they work in my world

Thank you, sir. I think we're explaining the staples. Happy to

We gotta go

Yeah, we gotta go now. I think but thank you

Have a good day you too sir humbly. I don't like that

I'm sorry because it doesn't make any sense

Umbly, I mean why are you gonna be proud about the way that you say have a good day

Bye-bye proud to make your acquaintance certainly

Okay, so you guys continue down the lead you consider you continue down stapler street

Uh stapler street stapler street

I like how they name the street, but they don't have a name for the whole place

Um

Well, this is gonna be stapler street obviously

I mean it's gonna. I mean this is gonna. I feel like there's not really anything else they could call it

That's gotta be whole part of the street. This is gotta be stapler street

But they just didn't name the whole thing like little town or something, you know

Little town

In a quiet valley

Okay, June and Wendy we're not singing music. We've been watching through the business shows. Okay movies

I mean like the one before

I don't know what the ball and joy ball door ball door ball door ball door ball door

There goes the people winner tray like oh, yeah, okay. I don't know it. No, it's bell

It's beauty in the beast

Anyway, it's beauty in the bees

Okay, so you guys keep walking down the street beautiful bees

Anything you'd like to do as you're heading down stapler street

Wendy why are you so mad at everybody? Yeah, you're really unhappy today. I'm mad or unhappy at all

I want to sing in beauty in the bees. Well, that's true

But you just didn't like that guy in the way he talked it

No, I think Ralphia was fine. I think I'm just I just don't understand this place, you know

Yeah, something seems not right to me. I agree

I'm personally I'm personally anytime someone says you have to be kind to get this thing. I

You don't want to be no way

Okay, I'm not doing it. Okay, so don't do it

Don't be motivated then by leaving but would it hurt you to just be kind to people just to be kind to people right now

It is hard to be kind of people when people are pretending to be kind of people all the time

What are you talking about? Well right now it just seems like you're coming off kind of a kind of a

Progressive when we've talked to the past couple of people isn't aggressive

It did feel like you're old. You've seen a bit off-putting they seem to take it a back by by me a bit

Yeah, June is that true. I mean, I think maybe a little bit just because just because if they're all being so

So kind even if it's not real when you are just like normal without any extra meanness or kindness

Then you seem kind of mean in comparison to everyone being so kind. I'm not gonna change myself

to be

like

Different because of the people around me

I'm kind in my normal daily life, but don't you want to get out of here?

Like isn't the whole thing that we just need to commit actually kind, but that's not pulling. How do we know that actually gets us out of here?

We don't but we've been told that that's what that guy said

I don't know

We'll figure it out. Hopefully we

Hopefully the may I just don't think whatever you guys decide just don't jump down my throat because I'm quote-unquote won't be in kind

I'm kind of every day. I just don't like this. This is such a weird place. It is weird

You're not wrong. It is very weird

But let's just go with the flow like we usually do on these things. Yeah, try to blend in figure it out

If it ends up being wrong

Awesome, we can raise hell awesome

Okay

And I'm sorry. I'm sorry windy. I wasn't trying to like be all whatever about you

I was just like hey, let's try. I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out. You know what I mean?

Y'all do whatever you want to do. I'm okay. All right. Let's go to the mayor

To the spoon

All right, we have to go to the next thing right? We gotta go the spoon and then we gotta go to the

We have a lot of things together. Yeah, it's a spoon and then pass that at the end of whatever. Oh, there's the spoon

Oh, there is the spoon. Wow, it's okay great. So we'll just walk under it then I think right? I think so all right

Here we go in the in the in the the the the

The part that's uh the bowls part of it the spoon part

The there's a there's a swimming pool in the thingy

The spoon that there's a swimming pool in the spoon. That's fun

There's a swimming pool. Okay, if you say in the spoon

There's approximately one part of the spoon that that can be talking about have you ever filled a spoon and then just like put it on a table

Yeah, but well no there's a there's a um there's a stack of waffles

That it's like up so that it's okay. Okay, wow and so then they get onto they climb up the stack of waffles. Okay

They hop on to the the the spoon. Yep. Oh, the the handle thank you

And they slide down down the handle. Wow

Spoon pool. Oh, we should try. Let's go. Okay. We don't have time guys. We don't have time. We're in no rush

We are in a rush. Why? Because there's a lottery tonight. We need to know what we have to do

But there's a spoon pool. When are you ever gonna be at a spoon pool? Do you have a bathing suit? No, okay? Well, but so what are you gonna walk around

Drenched I guess so

Also, let me just say that it is not against the rules for me to go to any restaurant drenched

I can go to any restaurant I want and I can be as wet as they never say you can't do that. They don't say that's true

I'm just saying important. God that's something to know glad we cleared that up. Yeah

Well, I guess I'm not doing swimming in the spoon

But I'm gonna be mad about it

I could get my swimsuit from the observatory

Oh

She grabs the backpack and reaches her hand and pulls out to get swimsuits. Okay, we don't have time to go swimming when you do when you go and pull your swimsuit out

No, it's gonna be Jack ginormous. Jack gorgeous. You just pull out a huge thing of cloth and it's like halfway out of the bag. Oh

Put it back put it back

Push it back in

Okay, okay, okay, okay, we jump it back in the bag. Yeah, we're not going swimming. What kind of tight? What kind of things back in the observatory?

Could we grab that would be crazy here toothpick?

It could be a log

You grab a toothpick and it's like it's like it's like it's like big like a wooden steak

It's like it's it's you it's so large. Okay, it's too heavy. All right

Let's keep going sugar mine. Sugar mine. Sugar mine. Okay, we don't have to go in the sugar mines. Oh, that's right

It's past the sugar and this is where are the guy from

What sorry? Sorry are there kids in the pool? Yeah, mm-hmm. I go up and ask one of the kids. Yo. Yo kid

Come here. Hey you come on over here. Oh, hello. Hi. My name is Wendy. What's your name? Oh my name is Finn Finn. How long you been here?

Um

I mean maybe like an hour. My mom doesn't let me stay in the pool for very long. Oh

No, I mean this tail and how long have you lived here? Oh

I've lived here for

uh

uh

I

Don't I don't know

Hey kid kid question for you. What when you got to like hide from the big green light? Where are you gonna go?

You're in a pool. I go to my mom's house. You're gonna jump out of the pool and run all the way to your mom's house

Yeah, we live in the same world right there. Oh, okay. Just wondering

Seems like the what's your name? I'm Cal nice to meet you. Hi, Cal. Hi. I'm Finn

You sound like your nose is slowly getting more congested. It is because I've been to swimming for so long

I get I guess stuffy nose. What I've got too much water in your nose. Yeah, I need to I need to blow it out

Oh, here you go. I'll reach into my pocket and grab a hinker chiff. Okay, and he

And it's gross. All right. Thank you. That's very nice. I'm gonna walk towards the mines. You guys can do what this can be going to

Okay, well thank you Finn

Yeah, you just you just hold on to that now. Oh, okay. Oh, my goodness. So what do you? All right

Okay, you keep on walking

Doesn't know where

Usually you go somewhere and get a souvenir bring it back. Yeah, probably dude. I

Got this from a dude. Yeah

Uh, as you keep on walking you walk another I don't know five minutes or so and you

Start to hear this sound of um, I mean, and you can pretty easily identify it sounds like pickaxes like mining something

Um, that must be the sugar mine

Sweet

That's where what's his name is what was his name from Kentucky

Um

Laura's laughing because you said sweet

Oh, I didn't I didn't sugar mine sweet

There it is

Took me a second to figure out why she was laughing as well

That's where Floyd works. That's for Floyd. You don't know if he's there or not

Floyd from the sugar mines right? It's Floyd from from Kentucky Kentucky the country on the cute on the cute

Uh, the country the cute. Yeah, on the cute

Uh, and as you kind of as it comes into view

You see that it is a

It is a huge what looks like a sand dune of um

It looks like brown sugar and whoa, you know how brown sugar sugar

Hardens

Like if it's been sitting for too long it gets those like really hard clumps and like whatever

So that's what they're mining. They're like mining this brown sugar

And if you kind of are like you're as you're approaching it you're looking from the side

And you can see that it's a huge bowl

On its side that's like dumping this sugar out

And they're like

They're just like trying to break apart pieces of brown like a kitchen table

Because there's a big ball

That's crazy. I wonder if it's good

I mean friendship. Do you think we're in someone's house? I think so. I think we're like

I think we're like

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. They're like in like a and there's some kid or something

Yeah, yeah, that's my thought

Weird

How do they get here though?

I don't know

I guess we'll find out. Well, let's keep going. All right

You walk away in the

the pinging of the

Pickaxe's fate begin to fade

Yeah, as you you now can see at the end of the street. There's a very large house

and it looks like a

It's like made of tin and it actually looks like a house

and

Upon like further inspection. You're like this is a

a

a

A rectangle like on its side. It kind of looks like

Um, and it's like a tea tin that actually has a house painted on it. Okay, it's like one of those tea tins that you can get

So it actually looks like a little house

But yeah, it's like clearly just like made of yeah, it's just a tin

um

Okay, but it's like the biggest most house looking thing you've seen. Well, I guess it's a mayor's house

Yeah, it's a really nice house, too. Should we just knock?

um

Yeah, I knock on the front of the tin

And it kind of goes like

Keep those in keep the folian

Sure, I guess you can put that in. Yeah, um

Yeah, it makes a sound that it would make when you knock on tin

Insert here

Thank you

Um, appreciate you thanking the editor. Well, you don't get enough. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you editor. Yeah, whoever you are pretty soon

After like a minute or two you kind of hear some shuffling around and the door

Swings open and a woman stands there

Um, she's got um a short like

color bloat color bone length

um

Brown dark brown hair and it's very straight

um

Hello, hello there. Welcome. Thank you. We are looking for the mayor. You're looking for the mayor

You're in the right place. We're kind of new here

We've never we don't know what's going on. We're trying to win the lottery. I think

So we all are trying to win the lottery. Of course. Well, yeah. Yes. So you know, they do that back home, too

Yeah, really

No, some some people do inside check on her. All right. My family's won the lottery a couple times

Cheat it, but we did win. Oh

Well, you cow you said an inside thought out loud. You can't cheat this one. You don't you don't say that. What are you trying to figure out?

Uh, whether she's suspicious

Just whether she seems suspicious. Whether she's not malintense

Um, no, she doesn't she seems just like worth coming and

Okay, just like hey

Meeting some new people, but yeah, it's a good pretty chill

um

Uh

Yes, the mayor is in a meeting at the moment. Oh here I was thinking she was mayor

But she he he will be

available

Um

Very soon. Who's he meeting with?

Uh, the most recent person who just arrived here actually

Okay, yes, and so we would be the second

Yes today. Okay. Yes. You would be the newest arrivals of today. Sure sure. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Um what time is the lottery?

The lottery begins. It's in about an hour. Okay

Yeah, right around when right around when the lights turn off

Okay, well

We've done some nice things today, so I think we won't be here long

Well, but uh, you know, sure. Yeah

All right, um, do you like

Should we just hang out watch you? Yeah, I think you should just probably

Okay, cool. Yeah

What's the mayor's name?

The mayor's name Mayor

Burberry

and

Has he spoken to the creator before? Um

Of sorts. Okay, there's a letter that we've gotten from the creator. What did say? How big was the letter? Very large

Oh, wow, rather intense actually

There is like over past the house. There's letter house there. There's letter mountain letter mountain

Letter mountain. Oh, so he got the he got the letter from

a mountain. Well, no, the mountain is a letter

Oh, did he climb the mountain like a plastic letter? Um

Like a plastic. No, no, they got like a note like a paper letter. Oh

That confused me. Oh, no, should not like the letter B. Oh, that would be so silly. So like a plastic letter

So the mountain has the letter sorry, it's written on in the rock of the mountain

It's written in the no, it's a piece of paper

But it's so large in this world that we are in because we are so small that it looks like a natural

And what did it what did it say? I've not read it. You have it. You've got a letter from maybe god and you haven't read it

Well, it's very difficult to so you have to take the mayor hasn't told you what it says well

He's told me like the gist. Would you tell me the gist? It's incredibly long sure what

Well

Has it given you like a summary statement? Okay, so how about that one? Okay, we're sure. Okay, we got there be careful

Don't avoid the green light. Oh, we will take you

There's a lottery every night if you do kind acts then you'll get to your name will be in the lottery

Then you have to do and you can um

You'll be freed so it's like six

Commandments really about and so he went up on the mountain. He got this six commandments

Didn't go on the mountain he went up in a hot air balloon

To be able to be able to be able to read the script hot air balloons are this small

Well, it's what we call it here, but really it's a thimble and a water balloon. I see that we feel a water balloon

Okay, but not everyone gets to do it because we're only given one water balloon permeate natural. Where do you get the helium from?

You get one per mayor and so you guys are really just taking his word that he went up in the water balloon

No, no, no, no, no, I understand that that's what it would seem like well the mayor changes very frequent changes very frequent

So every time a mayor goes there we have like a lot of different people ready

Okay, and they always just give you a gist of what it does yeah, because it's like a really long letter. No one's written it down

Um

Maybe they have but I haven't seen it

That's maybe the show it to you

I've never cared to ask frankly

I'm quite new in this role to be honest. Yes, okay, because the mayor you were saying is such a high turn over

Well, yes, and I only just arrived here three months understandable and so for sure

Yeah, I hadn't even thought to ask if they had written it down. It's just kind of that's kind of crazy though

Cuz you got here three months ago

And then you were just like fine with being here forever. I don't know not at all

I put I do kind acts all the time. I'm trying because we've been here like 20 minutes

And we're already asking to know the the answer to the letter and get out of here from your creator

Well for the beginning. I mean I

For the when we first get here. We don't really remember what's going on

So I thought that was just when the light is no that's different. That's like they lose like everything for a long time

Okay, but the wind is just when you arrive. There's a bit of a fog, you know for like the first month

I'm sure you guys are experiencing that already not really too next time you're not okay

No, I'm sure everyone's experience. Yeah, not really. I think everyone's I guess. I don't know. That's very odd. Okay

But you now know

About the creator and you know

He gave you some sort of written

Let written letter. Yeah, and you haven't and you know about it now and you still haven't really cared to read it

To be honest everything's so busy. We're just trying to stay alive. Got you. So

Just to be clear that the

The mayor. Yes

Burberry

What sorry? What is your relation to that? I may have missed that the mayor. Oh that you didn't say that I'm his assistant

You're a useless. Gotcha. Okay. How were you put in this role where you just chosen it? It was just available when I arrived

And they were like can you be organized and I was like show? Yeah, I thought you said you're new to the role. I am

Three months. Yeah, three months. Okay, so and just just again. So I'm okay

But the first month was the fog so I didn't have the job right

My first month a beautiful place

So just to be clear the the mayor went

Burberry Burberry went to the mountain read the

The letter from the creator and that is written in a language that only the mayor understands absolutely not

No, it's written in plain common

Okay, but it's just we get one water balloon to fill with helium per mayor

Right, so he was so he was the only one who could go up to the map. It's only a thimble only one person can fit in a thimble

So can I be the new mayor?

No, he's still here actually I think she should maybe

Yeah, I think I would say the g-b

But then but the old mayor is still here. Okay, we only replace him when he is gotten well

Oh like if he gets taken then when do I think no if he goes poof at the lottery. Oh sure

Gotcha, is there a sucker? I mean to be fair if he got taken. I mean yeah, we'd have to find a new mayor, but

Is there a separate lottery to become mayor?

Like kind of a cue that people are having to be the next guy to be the mayor

Is there voting just the next person who arrives after the first mayor has gone really? Yeah, there's just a look

That way you know

No, it's like the first person to land in all world is you just

Here the longest is the mayor basically. No, no, no, there's ever been here the shortest person. So you actually do have a chance here Wendy of this guy just

All right

Oh

We're only doing kind of nice

Yes, hopefully they're only just kind of nice things. We're saying if he poofs tonight, then what this is your new mayor. Yeah

Hello, well that may be true actually. Yeah, please don't have the mayor

I can't we would never know. I'm not gonna hurt the mayor. Do you think he's done his meeting now?

No, okay, okay, and uh, I'm sorry. What was your name? Oh, it's so nice of you to ask Charlotte

I sure love you Charlotte. It's very very nice to me. No, it's Charlotte. She's an accent Charlotte

Yeah, like a Charlotte no Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte very nice to meet you Charlotte

He's not Charlotte you are sorry

Right, yeah, okay

Charlotte can I ask you a question?

Yeah, do you think that any of this is bogus

bogus

Does anyone else in this town? Do you have any town cynics?

Um, anyone who's like this is not real

Or like we live in a simulation. Yeah, we're like doing x kind of it's not gonna help you. We live in the matrix

is good is not what you think it is

Is there anyone in this town? There are plenty of people in this town that question. What is going on?

I know

Yeah, well, we've only met the true believers then and not only the true believers, but the blind believers

Yeah, I was going to say

Floyd is crazy. No, listen Floyd was our first encounter. We don't understand

But here's the thing we know that if we have committed more acts of kindness in a day

Our name is in the lottery more times

There is a direct correlation between those two things

We don't know why

But it's that's how it goes

So it sounds like you do nice things and your name is in the

the

Lottery which is like it's like a book

Where do you get your life master toboggan if your name is in there?

Um

If your name is drawn a book of life if you will yeah, yeah, no, not really. Okay. Yeah

It's like a big bowl like the bowl of life kind of like have you seen

Your name is in the bowl of life

Yeah, well, but like everyone's name is in the bowl of life if they do even if just one nice thing

But the people who are the nicest their name is in the bowl of life the most time

So they have the most chances to be drawn and then get to duel and then get to potentially and it restarts every day every day

Wow, so we're very kind here

Wow, and I know that you might be like

Oh, it's fake kindness. It's not good because we're doing it to get into the bowl

I know I've suddenly heard that I thought that we have we've had many discussions really philosophical discussions

Okay, about ease kindness

Kind if you have a ulterior motive even if it's not really a negative. Okay, we've had many discussions about that sure

It's just your heart

I would okay. Do you think that you could also

It could also and that's just an objective truth here. No, that's just my opinion. Okay

Because I I've also I mean, I've been under the persuasion that

uh

regardless of

You know your intentions the

Kind acts in and of of themselves are still kind and still

affected the people around you in the same way

And so he's no one the supreme with you on that yeah no one

Right, but there's still kind of acts

Do you see no one no one's disagree with you on that right but aren't you saying that then feels

But I it seems like it seems like you were saying it's like no she's not saying

I thought the other argument was questioning are the kind acts truly kind if you've

If you're motivated by self-preservation or by something else rather than kindness and enough itself and what I was saying is

Their kind acts

Yeah, a kind act is a kind act no matter what happens, but the person doing it is might not be that kind

Yes, you on that

I'm following

I do I do think that you know to to an extent um

Uh a lot of like for example is like people's actions towards people around them generally

um

Eat the generally kind of defines

They're their character like ace. I used to like dap you up and and you know give you like a bro hug when we met in high school

I want to be home now. Are you confused at all?

Confused yeah, of course I'm confused. Are you cloudy?

Cloudy yeah, yeah, oh, I don't even remember what my mom looks like dang then why do you want to go home because I think I really love her

You know that's that's totally fair

And you have every right to feel as distraught as you do right now. I mean don't you think that you love your mom?

I mean if I don't even remember what you looks like

Because actually I know that you love your mom usually well not everyone does but yeah, I feel like I do I hope so yeah

Hey pound it

Shout out one time mom

You guys walk in the door yep, and it smells strongly of Earl Grey tea in this place

We're in a Earl Grey tin. We gotta remember that

That's true

And inside you see

you see a

middle-aged man

He is

He's got really dark what looks like black hair, but it's short cut pretty short

and he's got like a he's got like a sole patch and

um

Is wearing just like

He's in a nice he's in a nice suit

He's wearing a nice like navy blue suit. Okay. Well come come come in come in. How are we this day?

Hello, sir. I'm Mayor Burberry

Oh, uh, this is uh, this is my group. We're uh, we're my name's Lindy Wendy nice to meet you Wendy

Hi, my name is uh cow cow. This is June. Hi, and that's ace

Hello, hello nice to meet you pleasure pleasure. Yes, uh, your new arrivals the fog will pass. I can promise you the fog will pass

Oh, sir, we don't really have it. Yeah, we're actually not foggy. You're not foggy. No, sir. Can you see your mother's face?

Yeah, yeah, I can

Yeah

Okay

Usually the only symptom of fog is that no, but he just said that to me. Oh, sure

Man, this guy's voices really just

Not I don't know what it is

Um, well

Uh, so welcome. We're trying to win the lottery. Yes

Do kind things

Have you made the letter over yonder? I have. I have. I went up in the blue balloon

Yeah

Well, it said the all the rules that I'm sure you've been told be kind whatever, but it also I mean it mentions like

That would be watched and then

You know the kind acts you need to do the kind acts and like try to do them outside for some reason

I think we're being watched from the outside. Okay seems like

like and

And that's just is this letter ever been written down

You know, I've I've had that thought

But by the time I went up there and realized how long it was

I wanted to write it down, but I didn't have any paper with me

So it didn't matter how long it was actually it was just that you didn't have any paper

Well, I didn't have any paper and I because I didn't think before seeing the letter that I would need to because I thought I could just memorize it while I was up there

Got it, but this person or creature creator

Um, I don't know why I'm having like a British accent. That's okay. You can um do it is is

The he she wrote I mean so long and annoying and it's a creator

I know so maybe this is important stuff to write down man. Well, I'm that's what

You're saying it's good that it was long. You said it was annoying. Well, it was it was like rambling about being kind

We're getting off topic right sure. All right. Yep

What what do you want to know

Uh, do we written so what did it say anything about how to be how we have to be kind just be kind and do it outside so that

They can see how many kind acts do we have to perform to like have a shot like the people that actually get out of here

I'm going to kind of actually do the day

It just depends because it's all statistics and is it just one person today

Uh, no, we do a few tools field of you do a few do a few do a few do and basically whoever wins goes back up in the sky

Yeah, trying to know alive

That's the hope because anyone who's ever left like come back. No unless they were taken by the tweezers

Oh, the tweezers they are tweezers. Oh, yes, these are confirmed large tweezers. I mean we're small

Right um now as the man

Uh

Wait, it's when you arrived here at this place had no name

Right

As mayor at any point have you thought to yourself hi should I just point? Yeah, um, no

But I guess that would be good. What are we called little town little town? Yeah, that's a terrible name

Okay, here me

Come here

Bethlehem yeah

Because it's a little town sure

No

It just kind of came to me. I don't know. I don't like it. Okay tiny town

Tune town

Tune town

What do we just call it miniville big utensil town

You'd tensile town. I like that you tensile town cutlery

Cove

I like you tensile town. That's pretty great. You tensile town rolls off the tongue

Sure, okay henceforth you tensile town. Wow great. You should make a sign and put it somewhere

What does this matter actually we could make a sign why we don't have time. Well, so that way as

People we gotta become people kind of like um make their way through here

Like at some point hopefully you'll when you're dual and get poofed right and then when that happens, there'll be a new mayor

And it'd be nice if there was consistency, you know mayor to mayor. It's like this place has a name and it's this name

Sure, and so people can feel like more collectively part of this one place under this name, you know

Yeah, sir. I have a question the duels are those are those put in place by you or those by the creator um

Can you what like who decided to do the duels? Oh the creator that was part of the letter

And so so earlier we were told by Floyd. Are you familiar? I am familiar with everyone saying to no Floyd. Yep

Floyd said that like we could literally duel anything we wanted

Who are we telling that to it has to be accepted by um by

I it must be the creator. So what how do you how have they done that in the past you just yell it in the air or something? Yes

Oh, so the creator is a green light or red light. Oh really. Yeah. Oh my mistake. Okay, so that's how we do it. Yes

Okay, that I mean it that was a great guess wow

I

Turned to the rest of the group for a second like away from the mayor

So I'll plug my ears. Don't worry. No, you can I'm nice and I'm just pow out in my group. You can lose whatever

Hey, so basically what do we have to do just win a duel? That's what it sounds like but we got to be picked first

Yeah, what if we just make like a free lemonade stand

That could be good every every lemonade. Well, qualify as an act of kindness here. That's a good question

What qualifies as an act of kindness? Yeah, I mean anything that would be kind

Okay, that doesn't know what if we do a free lemonade stand and we just go back to the spoon pool and we just give all the kids lemonade that would be good

I wasn't asking you sir. I'm kind of told me I could listen. Well, yeah, that's true

That could be a good idea kindly. I apologize. Why don't we all okay? We could

Split up and find different kind things to do, you know cast a wide net

Okay, what if we just do four different lemonade stands

Four. Yeah, why different or well because then we're getting we're giving out quadruple the amount of money

Maybe our powers and we all made one big one. Okay, that's a good idea to I guess or to cast a wide net we find four

In addition to different locations we find four separate ways to be kind

So that way collectively we've done more kind that's not bad

But I don't know why we want to throw a net anywhere

Not a literal net. It's a figurative net. Oh, yeah, just like me having stake in my company is

Figured no, no, that's that's the literal thing

Yeah, so if I do one big act of kindness for a lot of people

Is that a lot of act of a kindness or is it one act of kindness or do I have to do a lot of little acts?

That's a very fine question if you do something very large

And it affects many many people than each person who was truly affected by it counts as putting one of your name in

Okay, so that's what we got to do

If we're gonna try and catch up. Yeah, so it's person-to-person effect and so I think we all split up and do big acts of kindness that affect many people kind of big

Or we try and do it all together giant one together and we all get it together. Okay. Okay, let me need stand to still my

I just don't think that's very well. I really liked the idea of

Uh, publishing a town name on a sign. I don't think anybody cares for their

It doesn't feel like anyone can it doesn't feel like anyone cares

I mean, I guess it could make them feel unified. Maybe they don't know they want it. Yeah, it's not a bad idea

Yeah, and you wouldn't have any other ideas. I could melt the sugar

Melt the sugar

Yeah, if they're mining it as a resource

Right, I can melt it all and then they don't have to mine anymore

I'd like resell it. Yeah, they got soft in it

And then it just crumbles apart you could you could find a way the sugar. Yeah

Mine that would be a very kind act so it sounds like you're going to the mind

Sorry, I apologize over what that was okay, and uh, so Gwendolyn goes to the mines. You do lemonade stand

I can do a lemonade stand. Okay. I always get at those

June got anything

I can't really come on June you could go play at some plants or something. Oh, that's true

I could like just beautify the town a little bit. Yeah, you know what would that be good? We could we could tag team on

Center we make a central park you handle all the greenery and I will work with the kids to make a

I'll find find some kids maybe at the lemonade stand

Hey

They're gonna help me design the coolest playground and I'm gonna build it

For them you have like less than an hour. Yep, that's why we can do it. We can do it playground

You've seen my you've seen my work. I mean he is you know what I can do

Plus if I get an army of kids excited about a playground I can get them all to help me and it'll go by super fast

Okay, are we of child laborers?

But you could find adults to help you that's true

Yeah, it sounds kind of like you're taking them

You could find adults to help you that's right. That makes a lot more sense

You know you could use the section in between

stapler road and

The strip in between the strip in between perfect. That's really central too. So it really would be like a central park

I like it. I like it. I think we got it. This is a great idea. I'm amazed. You might really

Well, you guys don't really think of very many kind things to do for people that are feeling like they're gonna die

Not a kind observation to make out loud call. I don't know why you'd say it's just an option. It's okay. We're indoors. They can't see us

It's a kind of a line. We have to be kind when we're outside

That is what I said is everyone really mean indoors not really mean, but not extra kind

See that's what I'm saying. This is what I'm talking about. Okay. You understand what I'm saying now

I see your point, but you know what I think that's a kindness are great

I think that's great. It makes a society better. It changes us on the inside and it's a good thing to you

And I try to do it every day

I don't like I don't know what I I get that and I get that it doesn't sit well with you however

Oh my goodness

Gwen all I'm saying is that when we're outside with everybody

We don't need to point that out because then that makes us all feel bad

We can just be nice to each other anyway

What huh, I'm I get what he's saying. Yeah, I think that's fair. You don't like you don't want to have to feel icky about it

Oh, I'm trying to do it. I see what you're saying. You know he's saying like we just go along with it basically. Yeah

Well, no, I have to I'm just gonna go ahead and do it. Okay, so you go but when I first arrived here

I like it. Well, you didn't understand. Okay, so we have plans

We have plan Wendy's gonna go. I know I know Wendy's gonna go to the mines and melt the whole thing

Yeah, but care about soften it. Yeah, yeah, cow's gonna go make 11 8 stand June is gonna go

Plant a bunch of stuff in the Central Park. Ace is gonna find a bunch of kids. No, you're gonna find a dog gonna find adults to help me

Okay, yep, yeah, okay

Should we put a hands in yeah, yeah, let's do that. Hands in all right. Do we have a team name?

Um, we've had this discussion so many times. I don't think this is the time or place. Yeah, this yeah

The travelers there's just some about

Again, not the time or the place this feels forced it feels forced right now. No cleaners June

It kind of feels a little forced right now. We should do this more organically everything about this place feels forced. That's true

We'll call it. I'm not disagree with you. It does it does feel forced three two

What if it does feel forced and I like the word forced

Moth force

That sounds awesome. No, brother

I walk out to head over to the

We are Moth force sounds like G-Force freaking giddy space force. Oh

G force was awesome underrated movie that is true Nicholas Kay is a mold. So we all don't spoil the movie

Yeah, nice

Okay, so cow goes to make a lemonade stand his name is cow. Where are you going to get lemonade from? I

So I I pull out my bag and I think of a lemon

That I know was cut on the table

Okay, and I'm going to just I know it's huge, but I'm just gonna grab like a part of the cut lemon like

Actual edible part and kind of like just pull it out with my hand. Yeah. Yeah, maybe I'll maybe I'll

I don't know if I have a glove or anything, but yeah, and then I'll like squeeze it into like a plastic cup

And then put water. There aren't any plastic cups. I need plastic cups

Well, we don't have butter. Do you have cups?

Oh, there's different things that are used to be cups. What are they? Can you you think of one?

I

Freakin

Don't put it on me. No, I'm just saying that's yeah, I get a bunch of what it be creative when you find around little doll plastic cups

Wait, you could say lemon free lemonade bring your own cup

No, but I'm gonna be even kinder and provide them to myself. There you go. I'm like that good thinking

You know those Lego pieces that are the really tiny. They're just like a circle that fits onto one. Yeah, yeah

Thing that's that's what you get a stack. I got a bunch of those and it's a and what are these?

I'm just gonna kind of squeeze an actual lemon. It's done. You get a Lego stud

Yeah, squeeze an actual lemon into

Like these little cups and then just add some water and a little sugar. Okay, like one big grain of sugar. Yeah, right

Okay

Also, I plan

Out of game what I picked up here is

Is actually

Joe's special level creation he made out of the extra parts for a Lego set, I think and this is very nice. Good job

Thank you, yeah, and it has a bunch of the little Lego pieces

I just love seeing what people make with their extra parts

Thank you

Anyways, so Joe

Why don't you

Roll

How are you gonna convince people to drink some lemonade

Free lemonade

I do like a baseball concession so give me a performance check

And I'd like to hear a little more of how that how that kind of goes

Free lemonade

Um, I you have free lemonade. I wrote a six. I do would you like some um

It's good is it yummy? Absolutely. It's yummy any if she watches because I wrote a six

She watches me go into my backpack and just reach around and grab like squished

Something because she can't really tell it's 11 and throwing in a cup and put water in it if what a piece of sugar

I'd be like trying

It's pretty good. Okay. Uh, can you roll me a

Hmm

Why do I have your role in order to make this concoction? Oh, wait nature check

I think I can I that's what I made or like a survival check

You could just be like intelligence. Oh, sure or even like a I want it to be like

Yeah, yeah, just roll intelligence

Natural 20

Best tag on lemonade you remember you just magically you were able to go like

It's good figure out how to make this work

But truly in his mind he has no he's never made lemonade. Yeah, this is yeah, he's just grabbing a hand

He just knows what goes in it. Yeah, he just knows it's lemon water sugar. So she she takes this little girl takes a sip

Oh my god. Oh, yeah, this is amazing. Yeah

Wow, tell the whole town spread the news. It's furry. Oh, okay. I'll tell the whole town. Yep. Okay. Tell him

Guys, you should consider this memory. It's so good. Yeah, lemonade

She runs off

Tell people about the real eminence

And also send your able bodied fathers over to the split in the road so we can build a playground

Hey, where are your parents

Tell them to go over there. Tell them to go talk to that guy and you're like wait

I got like wooden hammer

Tell them to go talk to him. Okay, so we'll cut over to

Ace and June then

Cal has been pretty successful with these kids and they're telling their parents to come help you

You've you've got a few front a few people to come and help you. Okay, great. So I'm gonna set up

I you know, I get some parents and I go all right, so here's what we're doing. We've got a couple different

projects

We're gonna make a sign for the town

We talked to the mayor and came up with a name for the town. It's gonna be you tensile town. Oh

We feel that it rolls off the tongue well and kind of describes what this place is about and we felt that you know

Having one name for the town. We're just kind of unity. Yeah unity. Yeah, I like it

So we need a couple people to throw the sign together. We've got we've got some paint here

And we've got some boards to build the sign. I've got some nails over here some hammers. Okay, then we need some people to create some planters for June

My friend June over here is gonna be putting some some plants out along the perimeter of this park

Okay, and we've marked out the corners of the park with stakes and streamers. Okay, and then everyone else we're gonna build

The playground of all playgrounds. Wow. Yep, and so

Do you have have you made blueprints have I made blueprints?

No, okay, so I just start hammering with nails into the wood. No, but so here's here's what we're gonna do

Here's where I'm gonna divide you into groups and we're just gonna build simple structures

So I'll get two of you to cut these beams and I'm gonna mark them here and here and I just need you guys to cut those

Okay, I'll cut the beam and so I basically just go around and give like two sets of parents like

Different pieces and tell them where to cut them. Yeah, perfect

And so I just give them all these little side projects and as they complete the pieces then I help them assemble them

Okay, can you go ahead and roll me first and intelligence check

And then I want a dexterity check for how much you're able to finesse

Okay, intelligence and then a survival for me. So for for intelligence

Oh

Yikes

And then I roll something else for survival. Okay

It's always better when I can use an ability instead of just uh

Survival is a dirty 20 okay

All right, so I will say

That

The way that you are kind of explaining this to people and trying to like

Formulate this plan is a bit confusing

So you end up having to do it a few times and figure it all out

But once the plan is understood and you've kind of figured it all out in your head

It is a great you have a great blueprint here for a great um a great playground

Um, so we'll see how that ends up going uh Wendy

You're over at the mines. Yes. Uh, I walk over and I'm sure there's a bunch of people is there like a foreman or something?

Oh, yeah sure. You see you see a lady there um

Who looks like she's kind of got she's got like a hard hat on maybe she's like shouting some orders not aggressively

But I'll walk up to her

Hi, my name's Wendy

Oh hi

What's your name? Oh my name is

um

Larney larney nice to meet you um, so I'll just talk to the mayor. I'm gonna help you guys keep this up

So just crumbles

Wait, wait, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You're gonna heat this so it doesn't need to be mined anymore. Yeah

It's just gonna crumble and then I sugar you can keep it

Oh

The way I'll just go ahead

Okay, um, um

All right, all right. Oh, okay. Um, all right. Um, man. Let's uh, let's uh, let's uh, let's uh, let's back off for a minute here

Uh, we're gonna

She's gonna melt it. I'm not gonna melt it. I don't want it to be like she's gonna soften it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah

Okay, you don't just crumble. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. All right. All right

Yeah, she likes cracks her hands

Uh, and she does a bunch of creep on fires, which is a cantrip. She does a ton of them

And slowly but surely the whole place around and she like she places them around

This like big mound of like crystallized sugar and slowly but surely like putting a bag of old sugar in the microwave

Everything around it starts to heat up and you notice that the crystallized pieces go to

Soften and go back to their very related form a little bit or at least break apart a little easier on the first bonfire that you make

Um, a handful of people around you are like oh my gosh

Where did I come from? I made it. You just made it appear. Yeah. You never seen magic before. No

Oh, you hear another guy. Jerry. Jerry. It's okay. This is the I know it's not from where you are

But this is normal in some places. It's okay. Yeah. Don't worry about it. It's all so we're safe

She's good

Okay, um, this is insane. Jerry better than anything like this

You better move back. Okay. All right, he backs up and I need you bonfires. Okay. Can you do a

And I'm just gonna kind of like take my time slowly but surely like let it keep up

Cuz I don't want it to melt and then become like any type of liquid sugar that like burns. Yeah

Let's go with

Investigation just because I'm gonna like you're kind of really closely watching this sugar and trying to see

How it's being effective

Think that makes it

21. Okay, great. So yeah, you're able to really soften this sugar and do a great job

and so from from our scene

From our scene over in the park and the lemonade stand you hear a big like

looping round of applause come from towards the month

like clapping and cheering

and

Yeah, we'll cut back to

And June is yeah, she's in the park. She's helping to

Use these planters that have been built. She's growing little like

pretty flowers and pretty

Plants and a few just like a lot of really beautiful things around that to help you to find the place

And it's coming together this park is really coming together

Um

Joe anything extra

Um, I mean as I

Like struggle to give explanations of the project. I would try to like

See if I could observe like who seems like pretty naturally proficient with

And comfortable with like working with their hands and like putting stuff together

You know, keep an eye out for the guys. You look like they know what they're doing with tools and like try to get them involved in more of the

More of the directing people to get certain things together and like kind of let them in all my visions and that

Yeah, you definitely more cohesion. Yeah, yeah, Romeo uh inside check

15, okay, um, yeah, you you find a couple of guys who seem like they're doing a good job

Um, they kind of know what they're doing so they're able to help you kind of speed the process along um as we

Near the end of this hour that we knew it was gonna be about an hour

You had so much help. It's kind of like an Amish barn raising

Oh, yeah

Where there's just so many people that are willing to help and make this happen because just have it a little bit of joy in their town

Sounds pretty sick um that there is a beautiful constructed playground now in the middle of this um

uh

Place

Uh the park and it's kind of constructed out of we like toothpicks and

You know a piece of a bottle cap for the for the bottom of the swing and like some random little pieces that you guys can find and forage or

Yeah, find

And you've made a really cool looking swing set

Um, you've sold all of your or not sold you've given away. I'm almost out of my lemon tons of lemonade

Whole bunch you've got some happy kids around some of the kids are kind of starting to bounce off the walls a little bit from all the sugar

They're a little crazy, but they're having a fun time. Yeah, a whole great a sugar really. Yeah

And the the foreman has profusely thanked you

Wendy for the softening of the sugar. It's crazy. They have there's a whole job that has now been eliminated from the job market here in

utensil town

Um, which is awesome vote

Vote Wendy for office. She'll destroy your jobs

She'll take away your job. She'll take away all your jobs. Oh my god. And now they got sugar a lot of sugar

And with that we hear the ringing of a different bell

Kind of sounds like the door a bell that's like on the door of a shop

um and

The people around you begin to like it becomes clear

The lottery is going to start really soon. We should start heading towards the arena the lottery is starting and as that

Conversation is kind of happening the lights that come from the sky or whatever above you

Um, slowly dim and go out and so you still have some light on the streets

Um, these marble street lights

Um, but it's like it's much dimmer. It is it is an apparently nighttime and you guys head towards

But they've all called the arena

Uh, anything you guys want to do on the way or anything when do you have the melting of the mines go

The melting of the mines. Yeah, it went great excellent. Yeah. Yeah, everyone was so happy

It's okay. It's okay to cry Wendy. No, I wasn't gonna say

I wasn't wrong. Okay

I'm just saying

It was just everyone was really happy. It was really nice. It was happy to make you feel good

Yeah, yeah, you make them feel good. Yeah, yeah

But I still think you should do it because you want to not because you have to that's so true

But did you do it because you wanted to and you had to

Sure, but that doesn't make no difference to what I'm saying. Yeah, stop trying to argue the point dude

Wendy

You well big all it's off team and I might have found the best lemonade recipe in the world really do you have any left?

I don't those kids on the playground were raving about your lemonade. I did hear that they were like and the parents who had someone was really good

Wow, so well, I guess we should have did you write that recipe down for them?

Hand full of squish lemon

Little water one grain of sugar. We should try it when we get back it'll probably be just a good

Full of squish lemon and one grain of sugar. You said that's right. Okay. Yeah

They they're gonna love that here

Probably won't go so well when we get back. I don't know. I'll try it. I can might okay

Okay, let's go. Okay. I think we're gonna freaking win the lottery tonight. I mean I freaking hope so

We better

Man, I really hope we do I really hope the creator was looking down on us. I hope he's kind to us. Mm-hmm. Yeah

Um, so you guys head towards the arena

um, and as you are as you come around this um

As you're approaching you see that it is a massive

um, salad spinner

Oh

And so it's this like clear outer I used to love that thing as a kid

Me too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So like a clear outer piece

And then the inner piece is that like colander type thing

Um, but again because you guys are so tiny you can sit in those little spaces

That would let like the water out you you picture what I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. You can sit up in those um, there's little like

There's stairwells that have been constructed

Oh my god

So everyone in the town goes in there um really it's only about like probably 200 people are there

Um, it's a pretty there's not a lot in this town

Um, and you all head inside everyone's really excited and kind of talking loudly and getting excited about everything

um

So you guys find your seats

Uh, and mayor burberry gets up and says um

Welcome welcome. I'm glad to be here. We're all glad to be here. Very exciting

Um, what a day we've had maybe the most exciting since I've been here

Um, a big thank you to um

Cal and Wendy and June and eight shout out

This was this we all ought to take a take a page out of their books for how to be caught and tall

Yeah, I think we nailed it. I just made lemonade. I lean over to the group for the first and I go

I think for the first time I'm wondering

Maybe people are sitting here on purpose because they don't know how to become

I don't think they know because I feel like not that wasn't a much ever. Yeah, maybe they just are very kind of old

It's super easy to just like do it. Yeah

Maybe the people who are chosen to come here are not very kind people

They're chosen because they need to learn how to be kind

All right, all right, it's time for the drawing of the names um

And to be perfectly honest, I'd be surprised if it's not before

Wow, I would be too

Wow, if it's a lot of praise coming for us

You can imagine the splash here in utensil town

See it was good idea. It's good idea. We're celebrities guys. I just made a lemonade stand

Like a nice wood bowl. I don't know because remember this world is of tiny things. Oh

Hey Barbie Barbie's dream house

I was gonna say something dry dried out or something. Okay, it's a it's a um it's half of a contact lens case

You can see it's like it's the half. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay half of it like a bowl

Oh, I did it too. I do it. I knew this would happen. I'm sorry

So it's kindness from these four

Who else who else

I'm dying to hear this last day. It would be really funny if june didn't get it. Someone else did

It's a Terrence or what was it? You have some freaking Floyd Floyd

Well, so here's the thing

They only do three a day. No, no, you have their duels brother. Oh, we have to do with each other. Yeah

Oh, my mistake. They didn't do more than four. No, just just wait. Okay, what's next?

Sorry mayor. Sorry. I'm interrupting

Sorry, we've got noise really carried

We're interrupting your program. Yeah, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay

Finn. Oh, okay, so once you draw me all of my names disappear from the bill

Yeah, okay, okay

Well, I can't draw you more than once you can't fight yourself. Obviously. I do every day

These people have never fought their own inner demons before

Oh, great job Abigail. Okay, Finn. Abigail

Judy Judy

I think Floyd last name Floyd come on now

No way

You're gonna be with the dual Floyd you're gonna stay here for a bit longer dude

You're gonna have to fight a kid you're gonna fight then that sucks. They made it do you basically you basically have to be super

Super nice and then you have to beat someone up to get out

No, you have to beat them up. You just have to beat them at whatever contest it is that you agree on well. Yeah, beat them though

Oh, dude

Okay, we did it guys. We got to come up with duels that are not violent. Yes

So now you have the customary five minutes. Okay, come up with your requested duels type. Who do we fight? Yeah, who are we fighting?

That is determined after you choose your duel. Hopefully we're not fighting each other guys

After we choose you won't do that

Well, that's very kind of you final act of kindness for the evening. I won't do that

I didn't I wasn't aware that was your decision

Yeah, I'm just gonna say miss me. It seems like you have a lot of control over what's happening so far. I know it was all supposed to be the creator

That's the I'm my control is now done

Oh, no, it's not okay. You get to pair people up. Yes. Oh, interesting. It said that in the letter

So like if you're the one so if you're the one who ends up being one of the people to duel. How do you oh?

Then the most recent person who has arrived here is then the person who makes the decision. Okay. Okay. Got you

Well, sorry, you didn't make the cut today, sir

I thought I was the most recent. Can I you wouldn't know because I didn't get chosen he didn't get chosen

I don't yeah, okay, but you did pick your duel type

So who are we fighting? I'm not telling you until you pick your duel

But one of our one of the other person we're fighting chooses a different dual type then the creator chooses

So we have to psychically agree on the same dual type

No, the creator will just choose which one they like

Oh, that's gonna be yours

You know that for a back creator likes you guys a lot. I think it was presented to the microphone

Mr. Mayor, we're okay. It's like honestly. I just want you guys to win. You're so great. Oh, thanks man pound it

Okay, uh, Mr. Mayor. We're okay if you want a real quick

Just kind of go back and say that you also have control over whose fight gets to whose dual type gets chosen. I can't do that

Okay, he doesn't have that control. That's the creator. Okay, we just thought it was on okay

What are you guys gonna do for your tool? Um

Well, I can make lemonade. I make the best day on lemonade ever. You want to just make lemonade?

Making how's it gonna make lemonade? That's true. You're gonna win. Maybe he's not dang. I guess that's true. How's he gonna find lemonade?

I mean, yeah

I say I say we're gonna both make lemonade from nothing and then I'm gonna make it from a bag and he's gonna have nothing to be like well dang I lost

Okay

Wait, what if this is a test guys what if we're supposed to like

Let the other person win

I don't think it's that complicated really. Yeah, somehow I just know that

But maybe it is there's no way dude. You don't think I don't think the creator would do that to us

We don't know who this guy is if the creator does that to us. I'm kicking the creator off the show

All right, all right, go do another day. You could do like Tai Chi. You could spar

I'm not sparring a kid. You might not be playing the kid. Maybe you're fighting Abigail or Judy

I'm not taking that chance dude. How about this just an acrobatics contest. That's friendly and one's self-to-mine skills

I dude Floyd's not a gymnast. He's way too scared

To be true. He's probably way too scared to be a gym. Hey, that's hurtful. Oh sound carries in here. Sorry, Floyd

Yo Finn, is there something you want to duel in?

Um

A lot of collaborate. Yeah, we I mean we could collaborate. You also don't know you're fighting Finn

Luckily Finn was sitting right next to us. Hey, Finn. Well, no sound really travels. I'm across the way. I apologize

You don't know if you're facing off against Finn or maybe you've got Floyd

That's true. That's true. You could be facing me. All right. Well, then I guess I'll just decide. Okay. I choose a dance battle

That could be interesting. That's a good one. Do you have a dance since 86?

Uh

Minutes ago and um, yeah, minutes ago. Yeah, dancing shoes. Oh my god. The one that you worried you six minutes ago

What are you going to do, June?

Um

Maybe a PowerPoint on plants. A PowerPoint. Yeah, I'm just going to grow plants. Yeah. Oh, oh, my powerfully

Oh, I'm sorry. Oh true. Flower point

Flower point. Yeah, I think I'm just going to be like who can nurture a plant the bit. No, that doesn't make sense

Who can make for now?

That's true. Hopefully

Is it magical and if they are then hopefully I have the prettier flowers. Yeah

Okay, what are you going to do? I don't know probably lemonade

Maybe I'll do magic trick or something. Well, you have to pick

Oh no one minute. You could do like who can sneak up on the guy the quietest. We're in a big bowl

Yeah, it sound really travels in here. Sound travels

That it does. Oh, oh, sorry dude. Here you go. Uh, uh, dagger throwing competition. You set up targets. I'm not actually very good

To be honest, he's kind of trash

Yeah, do one of those uh, strength competitions that you see at the bears. Oh, the ones with the hammers. Yeah

I wonder if they could pull one of those in here or something

I don't know. I don't think so because that would have been made custom. Can you do that, Mr. Mayor? No, okay, so there's our

Really travels

A push-up competition push-up competition

But what if Finn can Finn can you crank out push-ups?

Uh

Yeah, Finn you're oh

This is the kid from the pool. Yeah

No, this is the kid we met. It was I don't know where I am. Oh, this is just oh my mistake

How did you want to take away from like your mom and everything? Well

Well, yeah, if you if you win then I'll stay here. I guess well, I know

But if you win, then you'll go away and leave your mom's room. Oh

Well, that's sorry. We can talk about this once we actually fight in um, okay, I think I'm gonna do like uh

I'm gonna do a utensil town ninja warrior course. What in the world?

It's like an obstacle course where you have to like

Like swing from things you have to run across obstacles and then you have 10 seconds and then you get to like a like a wall

That's like kind of curve and you have to run up really fast and hit a button whoever does that. I think I have enough for one more lemonade

Yeah, I'm gonna do a ninja warrior obstacle

I'm gonna make lemonade

The whole crowd is shouting counting down

now

Wendy

What say you

I choose a dance battle

and

Judy what say you

Chess

And so good to chase and the um, are you actually?

Uh, oh, that's right. We'll know what they told us that happens now is the creator will shine a red or a green light

I don't know how they choose which of the two they're gonna choose from just the color

But yeah, as we'll find out and then a green spotlight shines directly on Wendy. I knew it. Wow

At the crowd the crowd cheers
