Session Zero Heroes - A TTRPG Actual Play Podcast
Episode 2
Speaker B: Jasmine, oolong, green and white. Long ago, these four teas were skilfully brewed at the blissful brew. Then everything changed when the shop's popularity threatened its existence. All Mr. Okuron, the shop's owner and tea master, could do was to recruit four teenage orphans to learn his trade and staff his shop. A year has passed since the orphans were hired, and although their skills have progressed, they still have a lot to learn before they can brew anything. But I believe that they have the potential to make the blissful brew the greatest tea shop in the world. Last time on Benders and Brews, an Avatar Legends podcast.
Speaker C: Mr. Okuran, who owns this tea shop, he calls out, I am running out to the back to check the inventory. I will be right back. If anything goes wrong, I'm sure you guys can handle it. Shortly from the front door, a mid 40s man stumbles into the tea shop. What can I get to drink here? What kind of booze you got? The obviously intoxicated man, he just loudly starts singing. I went to basic.
Speaker A: I know how to handle this. So you want some alcohol, huh? I know the best place. It's not here. Go across the street. We're going to take a right. Go down some stairs. I'll walk you to the door. We can sing a song out downtown.
Speaker C: I've been to a lot of the bars in the state, and I don't remember that one. And then he climbs up onto his table, and he just starts shouting, this lady right here, she's a liar. And the table wobbles a little bit, and he falls off the table and just crashes onto the ground. And he looks at Bill, and he takes a swing at you.
Speaker D: I grab a cup, and I fill it with hot, dirty dishwater. Hey, Mr. Your drink's ready.
Speaker C: And he picks up the cup and he downs it.
Speaker D: Oh, hey, Mr. That was a dirty drink, but it was dirty dishwater.
Speaker C: This giant, muscular, double bearded 17 year old comes stepping out from the back.
Speaker D: Sir, do you really want to get into an altercation now? Look at all these nice people. You're messing up their evenings. Why don't you just head outside?
Speaker C: So as he swings his fist, you expertly Dodge out of the way and push him ever so slightly towards the door as he lands outside and kind of just rolls onto the ground. And then all of a sudden, all the people in the restaurant start to cheer and clap. Mr. Okuron enters to the back of the shop. What in the world is going on? Hello, everybody, and, welcome to Benders and Bruise podcast. A non canonical avatar Legends real Play podcast. My name is Skylar Gorson. I am the game master, creating the story alongside my co writer, Nick Van Wearson. Not 100% sure how to say his last name. Person. Yeah, person. All right. He gave me the thumbs up and then bringing it to you and the players. Let's. Speaking of those players, let's get some introductions on who they are, who they're playing, and they're going to answer today's question for their characters, which is, what is a hobby or pastime that your character enjoys? Connor, kick us off.
Speaker D: My name is Connor, and I am, portraying the character of Brock Lee, the Earthbender. And I believe one of his favorite pastimes would probably be just taking shots at some seagulls that are terrorizing his.
Speaker C: Farm anyway with his earthbending. Just hucking some stones and some pebbles at some annoying birds.
Speaker D: Hucking some rocks at some annoying birds.
Speaker C: Yeah. I dig it. I dig it. Awesome. Dave, what do you got for us?
Speaker D: I'm playing Gua huh? Guohan. That's how we said it.
Speaker C: Even Dave can't get his character's name.
Speaker D: Well, you're all confused, and I'm playing the adamant. and what Guohan likes to do is he likes to be a little trickster. Kind of, likes to play pranks on people to spice things up. It's like his favorite tea.
Speaker C: Spice up tea. That's right. did he get that from, living with the circus and running with the circus for a long time?
Speaker D: Yeah. You know the carnival is all about tricking, right?
Speaker C: That's right. That's a good point. That's a good point. Cameron, what do you got for us?
Speaker D: I'm Cameron. I'm playing Bill Dor, the Guardian. and what Bill likes to do in his free time is paint.
Speaker C: Right on.
Speaker D: Just paint. LaNDscape pieces, mostly. Okay.
Speaker C: Landscape over. Awesome.
Speaker D: Very relax. he's basically Bob Ross, except he doesn't really talk about happy little trees. He more just, like, paints quietly and grunts to himself.
Speaker A: Sure.
Speaker C: Michaela, what do you got for us?
Speaker A: My name's Mika, and, Mika likes to stare into the abyss.
Speaker C: What does she see in the abyss?
Speaker D: For how long?
Speaker A: M. It depends on the day.
Speaker D: That's a good.
Speaker A: Yeah, sometimes it's hours. She stares into the abyss, right. Sometimes she, sees crazy things. Sometimes she sees normal things.
Speaker D: Brock Lee just says, they're washing dishes, and he looks over. Mika's got a dead face just staring straight ahead of her while cleaning dishes, not blinking her eyes. Are glazed over.
Speaker C: At least she's getting things done.
Speaker A: She, also likes to play games with a fish.
Speaker D: Oh, she has a water bender. That makes sense. What games and what fish?
Speaker A: The fish in, like, ponds and, like, koi ponds.
Speaker D: I'm getting some like, what games. But those fish are the moon. You play one fish, two fish.
Speaker A: Some like, fish Olympics sometimes. Other times, she'll try and play tricks on them, see if she can get in the swim where she wants to with little bubbles and stuff.
Speaker C: Sometimes she swims down with the fish with sushi in her hand. She's like, this is what you could be getting some.
Speaker A: Why is that so important? He controls the weather.
Speaker D: Yeah, I knew you were going to make the Lilo reference. I knew that was coming. I had the Lilo reference prepped, but I was not.
Speaker C: M going to do it because Disney would sue us.
Speaker A: Just cut that part out.
Speaker C: We might have to if we get.
Speaker D: A cease and destroy name anyways. Pouch, pooch, pump. What pouch? Fish?
Speaker A: Something.
Speaker D: Pudge. Pudge? That's right.
Speaker A: Pudge the fish. He liked peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
Speaker D: Peanut butter and tuna. No, she couldn't feed him tuna.
Speaker A: Didn't like tuna.
Speaker C: That would be an abomination.
Speaker A: And then the guy goes, so why is, he so important? Because he controls the weather.
Speaker D: And then she beats up another child. That's right. Yes. I heard a dark theory that her parents died in a storm or something. So that's why she's so concerned about weather. she said in the movie, like, how they died, they drove in the storm, actually, and they died in a car crash. Well, there you go. Said it was raining, and they went for a drive or something like that.
Speaker A: Ohana means family, and they're gone.
Speaker D: don't say it.
Speaker C: Don't say it.
Speaker A: Family never dies.
Speaker C: Okay.
Speaker D: What?
Speaker C: We dodged lawsuit.
Speaker D: I think that's 100% in factual, especially if it's a Disney movie.
Speaker C: Yes.
Speaker D: Family's actunzo.
Speaker C: All right, so we're jumping right back into things. What in the world is going on?
Speaker A: Well, no thanks to you, we kicked out a drunken.
Speaker C: A drunk. Oh, I'm sorry. I wasn't here for that. I was taking some scones out to some of the people out back.
Speaker D: Did you not hear what was going on?
Speaker C: No, I was listening to, one of the stories of the people I was serving out in the alleyway.
Speaker D: I think we all deserve a raise.
Speaker A: At least a bonus.
Speaker D: Wait, you guys are getting paid?
Speaker C: I am truly sorry you had to deal with such a thing without me here. Everyone in the shop. please. I will bring you all a nice calming Jasmine tea. Thank you all for putting up with such an undesirable customer. I, sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. And, to the four of you, it looks like you have handled yourselves very well. I am very proud of all of you. Thank you for keeping the shop and the customers safe.
Speaker A: Proud doesn't go very far. How about a bonus?
Speaker C: He hands each of you, three, coins out of his pocket.
Speaker D: Are they coppers?
Speaker C: yeah, the gold. there are three forms of the primary currencies. each nation has kind of a variation of what it looks like, but it all essentially works, the same. Well, minus the air nation. They don't really use money, they don't really deal with that. but whatever the case, the money that I have set up is referred to as Yuan. And so it's a pretty straightforward monetary system. I can give you guys all around none of that.
Speaker D: Can't believe that drunk made such a mess in here as Guohan cleans up.
Speaker C: The space around where he knocked over the table and everything.
Speaker A: I feel like that's very fitting for Boyhana is just to have an, a little touchy kind of got, in a.
Speaker C: Way, he bumps a table with his belly. So basically, with the monetary system, it will often be referred to exchangeably between two different forms. So they'll either call it Yuan or they will call it copper, silver, gold, which are the three types of coinage that they. So best way to use it is one copper coin, aka one yuan is basically the equivalent of a dollar in our money. one silver or five yuan is equal to $5 in our currency. And one gold or ten yuan is worth $10 in our currency. there are also, and these are the more rare forms, which are bars. So you will occasionally, in situations where large purchases are made, you will sometimes see people pay with a copper bar, which is equal to 100 yuan or $100. You will see a silver bar, which is 500 yuan, which is $500, or a gold bar, which is 1000 yuan or $1,000. So it's kind of a 1510 system. So it's pretty simple. I try to keep it as simple as I could. obviously, there's no exact exchange rate per se, from the show because we don't see a whole lot as far as monetary exchange, but that's a basic rundown. So he hands each of you three yuan, which is three copper pieces, which is pretty standard. You usually get paid oh, you will all start with ten yuan each. And you usually get paid ten a day. This three that he hands each of you, ah, is a bonus for handling that situation because Mika was really pushy about it.
Speaker A: Well, you got to make a living.
Speaker C: Yeah. 13. He says, I am sorry that I could not give more pockets, are a little tight, this month, unfortunately. But hopefully, we can find a solution for that. He kind of walks away as he does and he looks a little down strangely. enough after mentioning that as the night goes on things are pretty normal. Mr. Okuron kind of runs the back of house making the teas and things like that. but he does seem a little Bit downed after the conversation. before something just kind of seems a little bit off about him. He seems almost a little bit distracted as he makes the teas and he makes the scones and other baked goods. Occasionally he'll get a tea wrong. Like he'll mix the two wrong teas together and oh, my bad. I'll go fix that. He goes and makes another one. Eventually, as the last of the customers leaves a man steps into the tea shop. So you guys are kind of cleaning up the tables and finishing up for the night. A man steps into the tea shop. He's a younger man wearing a semi dressy outfit and with sort of one of those pompadour rockabilly style hairstyles where it's like really big right out in know you see it a lot in anime where you'll have like those sort of I'm a gangster wannabe bad boy. Kind of a. Characters usually have this kind of a haircut. so he steps into the shop. when Mr. Okuron sees him, his face really droops in a discouraged look as the man says, I need to have a word with you outside, old man. so sure enough, Mr. Okarani kind of packs up his things and starts to head out with this, young man. Do any of you do anything or.
Speaker D: Can I follow them?
Speaker C: as you go to follow them the young man turns around. He says I want to talk with him alone. And the two of them step outside. But if you wanted to sort of like if you were thinking of listening or anything along those lines in any sort of way, let me know how you'd like to do that.
Speaker D: Is a tea shop, does it have one or two stories?
Speaker C: it would have sort of like a balcony section. so there's like the open ceiling up to the balcony. and a lot of customers will set up. There's just added seating and things like that.
Speaker D: I go out the back and around the side.
Speaker C: Okay.
Speaker D: And I'll stand at the wall so they can't see me, but I can still hear. Sure. They talking out the front door.
Speaker C: Yeah, right outside the front door.
Speaker A: I'm going to go sit underneath the window.
Speaker C: Okay. All right. And try to catch some stuff. Okay.
Speaker D: Bill's going to crack the front door open and stand next to it listening out it.
Speaker C: Okay, sounds good. I'm going to have, for the two of you that are sneaking. So Bill, Dore and broccoli, I'm going to have you guys roll. Push your luck.
Speaker D: Six, seven.
Speaker C: Okay, broccoli. As you go around back, you see a couple of figures in the alleyway leading to kind of around to the front side of, the building. One of them is kind of this little hunched over. He's a scrawny guy. His back looks like kind of almost disturbingly crooked, in a sense, as he, leans up against the wall and he kind of looks over at you. And, he's got a few rocks that he's just kind of floating around in his hand. and then the other one is a female figure in like a hood and kind of an almost cape like cloak. And she's holding sort of like the scepter looking thing. And they both look at you. And then the little guy, he says, yeah, the boss wants to speak to Mr. Okaron alone. I think you should come back later.
Speaker D: I don't know if I can attack them, can I?
Speaker C: In theory, you could. It doesn't matter whether you want to or not.
Speaker D: I don't know if I would want to.
Speaker C: Okay.
Speaker D: Because that could spell worse things for Mr. Okaron.
Speaker C: Right.
Speaker D: Yeah, I will just, well, see, that doesn't spell correctness to my character. Hug? Yeah. I will just ashamedly accept defeat and walk back into the tea shop.
Speaker C: Okay. All right. Bill, door. What were you doing again?
Speaker D: Hiding by the door.
Speaker C: Oh, yeah, you cracked the door. Okay, so you successfully crack the door open. but it's because you said you rolled a seven. Yeah. Okay, so that's a soft hit. So what it does is, it's going to cause you to scrape by and it's going to cost you. So as you crack open the door, there's a large figure that seems to be standing in front of the door. He doesn't notice that you crack it. So you can't see anything past him because he's this hulking figure. But you can hear. You are able to hear. m Mika. Shoot. I'm going to have you roll. Rely on your skills and training. So that's going to be focus. because as a rogue, you've dealt with situations where you've tried to listen into conversations from a distance and you're a little far away, but it's not impossible.
Speaker A: You said passion.
Speaker C: focus.
Speaker A: Focus. Oh, what's the five?
Speaker C: Okay, so you cannot quite hear, what they're saying from outside the window.
Speaker D: glow is just gonna, go bust a table that's closest to wherever they.
Speaker C: Okay, even if it's not dirty, just washing a table, even if there's people at it, you could go, like, to the opposite window maybe, and you're sitting there and busting the table. I'm going to also say, rely on your skills and training. Go ahead and roll that. Which status? Oh, that is focus.
Speaker A: Sorry.
Speaker C: Okay, so you are also able to, just barely hear, but you're only able to make out a few words as they're talking because it's kind of muffled. So it's like, listening to an adult on Charlie Brown with just a few words, like kind of thrown in. Money. Tomorrow. Okay, fine. This weekend, on the other hand, Bildor, you are able to hear the situation, but you cannot see the figures, but you definitely know the voice of, the rockabilly looking dude and of course Mr. Okuron. And you hear them talking. And essentially what you hear is the guy says, you owed us the money for the whole month and you haven't paid up yet. And Mr. Okuron says, I know, I'm so sorry. I had a big order come in for a customer who then ended up bailing on me. And so all the money is kind of wrapped up in assets, in the fancy teas and things, for this customer. And the guy says, well, that's not really my problem. I don't take tea and ingredients as payment, so you're going to have to come up with something else in order to pay us. He's like, please, I need some more time. And he's like, you have until tomorrow. Please, that's not going to be enough time to get the money together. Okay, fine. I'll give you to this weekend, and only because I like you. But if you don't pay me by then, that's going to change and I can't offer you protection anymore. Thank you for your kindness and your patience. I assure you I will do my best. To get you your money by the end of this weekend. Yeah, you better, because if you don't, I'm trashing the tea shop and taking whatever I want. Oh, please. We will have it ready, I assure you. All right, let's see it happen. And he's like, all right, wild coyote, boars, let's roll out. And they all kind of, like, take, off and build. Or as, he says this, the large, hulking figure steps away from the door to, follow them, and it's this massive, muscular individual with the body shape of, what's that? Spider man villain? He was in the multiverse one, not the new one, but the big guy. Yeah. he wears a suit, he's bald. He's got kind of like a kingpin shaped body where he's just got this really massive Dorito shaped figure.
Speaker D: Little head on top.
Speaker C: Yeah. like I said, as they walk away, you see, the aforementioned characters, like I said, the big, hulking dude. You see the rockabilly guy who seems to be like their leader. You see the scrawny guy with the weird arched back problem. And then you see the female with the hood and the scepter and stuff like that. And you see them all kind of walk away down the darkened streets of gyotling. And Mr. Okaron makes his way back into the tea shop, and, you know, kind of close the door and get out of the way so that you're not obviously listening in. And he comes stepping inside. He looks very, downtrodden.
Speaker D: Can I ask what was going on out there?
Speaker C: Oh, it's fine. It's nothing for the four of you to trouble yourselves over.
Speaker D: But, if it affects us and it affects the shop, then it kind of does affect everybody, doesn't it?
Speaker C: Roll with plead is a harmony to convince him to share eight. Okay. He says, oh, I appreciate the concern, but I assure you this problem is entirely on me, not on you guys. so he just needs something more to push him to share.
Speaker D: I don't need to roll for that.
Speaker C: No, you just kind of got to.
Speaker D: But we can help you with this situation. We can help you take care of those guys.
Speaker C: Well, I, do need all the help I can get. You see, earlier this month, I had a customer call in a large order. Oh, wait. Maybe I should start with them. They're a group that offers, protection services to, ah, a lot of the small businesses in the area. they came to me and, insisted that I use their service for protection over the tea shop. And I gave in eventually, mostly because they said I had to. but it hasn't been a problem so far. I've always been able to make the payments and keep the shop safe. But this month a customer called in a fairly large and expensive order. It was going to be a catering job for a very wealthy individual here in town. And, me loving tea as much as I do. I was very excited to take the order. but unfortunately, right after I purchased all the ingredients, which again were very expensive, they bailed on the order and canceled it. And now I'm stuck with all these incredibly expensive ingredients. no money because we're trapped or because I spent them on the ingredients, and no order to fulfill them. And unfortunately, with these ingredients, there's no way that I could sell this tea to anybody that's not in the upper ring because again, it's just incredibly inexpensive ingredients and I would lose so much money on these and I'm just really not sure what to do. And now the gang wants their money, and I don't have it.
Speaker D: So if you don't pay, are they going to hurt you?
Speaker C: I think they might. They said that they would trash the tea shop if I don't have it by the end of this weekend.
Speaker D: How much money do they need?
Speaker C: Well, they said that I had to pay them with, interest. 1000 yuan.
Speaker D: Thousand yuan? That's ridiculous. They can't treat us like this. They weren't even any help when that drunk guy was in here. Kind of protection is that?
Speaker C: I think it's possible. It's maybe kind of a scam.
Speaker D: You think?
Speaker C: I think I'm paying them to protect me from themselves.
Speaker A: yeah, you should have seen that one coming.
Speaker C: Well, I knew it. I've always known it. But I'm a frail old man. I don't really have much ability to defend myself in the shop. And the guards don't do anything for the small businesses in the area unless you pay them. So it's kind of either way. And their intimidating presence whenever they do stop by usually discourages any no good. I mean, we've never been robbed before and maybe they're the reason for that.
Speaker D: You said there were four of them, right?
Speaker C: Yes. I believe there's four in their group. Yes.
Speaker D: Do you know where they're?
Speaker C: I'm not sure, but I'm sure somebody in town does. What are you thinking? Broccoli?
Speaker A: Well, there's four of us and there's four of them.
Speaker C: Oh, please, no, don't make violence the answer. I don't want to see any of you get hurt.
Speaker D: You don't have to come and see it.
Speaker C: But you all mean so much to me and you've always been such great employees at the shop. And some of you I'd, consider close friends. And I wouldn't want to see any of you injured on behalf of my problems.
Speaker D: Who else in town do you know has protection from these guys?
Speaker C: Oh, there are many businesses in the area that do. basically, if you're not a franchise or a chain or a fairly large business, you probably pay the Wild coyote boys to protect your place of business.
Speaker D: Can we go talk to some of the other shop owners?
Speaker C: You do whatever you feel is necessary. I appreciate the help from all of you. Like I said, I feel terrible burdening you with my own problems, but, if you guys have ideas or can think of any ways that maybe we could raise the money that we need in the short time that we have, I mean, I would truly appreciate that.
Speaker D: now I was wondering what all those crates were back in the shed. who was this who bailed on this order?
Speaker C: Yes, so the family which ordered this originally was Shifu family. they said they had some sort of large party or something that they needed catering for and that's why I agreed to it. They are a very wealthy family in the area and normally they keep to their words. So I, to this day have not been able to understand why they canceled the order. I don't know if they canceled the party altogether or there's not really anyone else in the area that can offer the catering that I feel like we are able to offer.
Speaker A: Have you tried talking to them?
Speaker C: Yes, I've tried, but, it's incredibly difficult right now to get an audience with them and I've made a request several times and I keep getting denied.
Speaker D: Rich people, am I right? At least you give you some sort of deposit?
Speaker C: Unfortunately, no. And I understand it was my fault that I didn't take that. as I said, this Shifu family is usually very trustworthy and, you can always trust their word, but this is very unexpected and I just wasn't sure what else to do. And that's part of the reason why I tried to contact them to see if maybe they would be interested in purchasing some of the ingredients for a future event or something along those lines. But, again, they've denied me counsel or any other communication.
Speaker A: I want to seek counsel with them.
Speaker C: Oh, well, if you think that you can, get into, in front of them and speak to them. I would be very impressed.
Speaker A: Yeah, give me contact information.
Speaker C: Okay, I'll see what I can do. he starts writing some information down on a piece of the paper that you guys usually would use to take orders of who you need to talk to. So obviously they're probably going to have like a front desk person and, you talk to them and then they get you in touch with the heads of the family and things like that.
Speaker D: Looks like we need to talk to a. Jasmine, wait. No, that's the.
Speaker C: again, I'm at a loss at this point. I don't know what else to do in only, what, two and a half ish days. I just really can't see how we could possibly, get all this money together. I mean, the tea shop alone only brings in about 150 yuan a day. So after today, there's not too much to work with. And then I pay each of you the ten yuan. So that's going to pull from the profits as well. And it's hard to say what it is that I can really do, but if any ideas that you guys have, I am happy to work with because like I said, I am completely at a loss at this point.
Speaker D: So are we talking to the rich? could Brock? We could talk to the other shops, but I don't know if we'd be able to get them to do anything in two days. Yeah, true.
Speaker C: I mean.
Speaker D: Any of you guys heard of these wild coyote bores before? I don't know. They have a sick name. Wild Coyote boy. It would be better if it was Wild Coyote boys. That's a cool name. I know I'm adding a lot of value to this team chat rabbit right now. Wild E. Coyote. All I know is I'm a little tired, a little sleepy. I didn't drink any tea.
Speaker C: we usually don't.
Speaker D: Yeah, I had water. Well, we have the rich people's contact information. We can go try and talk to them. Steal from them? I didn't say that.
Speaker C: Mr. Okaron pretends not to have heard that.
Speaker D: What's the rich people's name again?
Speaker C: Zhang Fu family.
Speaker D: Like Zhang Fu family, do they have a vault or treasury of any kind?
Speaker C: Well, they are a very wealthy family, so I'm sure they definitely have, if not multiple, at least one place where they keep a large sum of money. Why do you ask, Brock?
Speaker D: Don't worry about it. It's probably underground.
Speaker C: I said that I'm happy to work with your ideas, but I'm getting a little bit concerned.
Speaker D: Well, what do you recommend?
Speaker C: Well, if we could find a way to bring in a large amount of customers in the next couple of days, maybe we could make a nice sum that could, if not, get us all the way there, at least get us a lot closer. Maybe set up some kind of an event, do some advertising.
Speaker D: What if we made our own gala?
Speaker C: Our party, maybe. I think that's a great idea.
Speaker D: We could bring in the whole block. Block party.
Speaker C: Block party. I've never heard of the concept before, but I like it. Well, I tell you what. We will all sleep tonight and, whatever ideas maybe, come to us in a dream or just maybe we sleep on and in the morning we can, get together and discuss a plan. How does that sound with everyone? Sounds well, to me, it doesn't really.
Speaker A: Sound like you have time to sleep, but you do.
Speaker C: You.
Speaker C: But sleep is so key. Mika.
Speaker A: we're on a time crunch.
Speaker C: We are on a time crunch. You alright? So tomorrow we will wake up bright and early.
Speaker C: Get a start on this project. I'm going to assume that you guys had taken a rest.
Speaker D: Oh, we did, yeah.
Speaker C: I assume you guys are all set up in the restaurant, ah, itself, given that Mr. Oakron has kind of taken you all in. I mean, unless somebody would say otherwise.
Speaker A: I'm on the roof.
Speaker D: Okay.
Speaker C: Still the restaurant.
Speaker A: I just wanted to be clear that I'm not.
Speaker D: A separate room.
Speaker A: No, it's on the roof.
Speaker D: Doesn't want it to rain. The funny thing is.
Speaker C: Also that probably wouldn't clear as much exhaustion. No. If that's where you're comfortable, I guess that's not an issue.
Speaker A: I can pitch a tent.
Speaker D: It's fine on the roof.
Speaker A: Yeah, I grew up in the outdoors.
Speaker D: On the roof.
Speaker C: The outdoors, it just looks like one of those like giant windows.
Speaker A: Better than that.
Speaker C: She just flat, she just freezes. like a tent like structure on top of the roof. And then as it's melting, it drips on her and that's what wakes her up in the morning.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's like an alarm.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: Or you drown.
Speaker C: I feel like it would drip as a waterbender.
Speaker A: I can't drown.
Speaker D: I don't think that's actually. Then again, I've only seen the movie.
Speaker C: That's the unfortunate. You told everybody that last time, right?
Speaker D: No, that's a true statement. That's a sad thing.
Speaker C: It is. That's a true thing.
Speaker A: No, he's seen some of the series.
Speaker D: No, just the movie.
Speaker A: Okay, well, you can go on that library.
Speaker D: I want to be hated by this.
Speaker A: You literally watched episodes with us like two weeks ago.
Speaker D: Yeah, and I was confused by it and made us rewind.
Speaker C: I liked your character until you told me that you only watched the movie and now I hate your.
Speaker D: That's why I based my character off of the film I'm going to throw.
Speaker A: Everyone is going Bill door.
Speaker D: Yeah. Actually, the brilliant writing that movie helped me inspire this character's name.
Speaker C: All right. Do you all wake up the next morning and, you've all had a restful sleep, and you, have all been thinking in the night, maybe had slightly less restful sleep because you've been trying to figure out a solution for Mr. Okuron's problem, his dilemma. I don't know. What are you all thinking as you wake up and rub the sleep from your eyes and maybe grab a coffee? I feel like they'd probably serve coffee here.
Speaker A: Caffeinated tea or caffeinated?
Speaker D: Drink coffee.
Speaker A: You drink coffee, but you don't drink tea, correct?
Speaker C: Yeah, that's fair. His favorite tea is coffee black.
Speaker A: You like bean juice over leaf juice.
Speaker D: Black beans.
Speaker A: Can you just choose up the beans?
Speaker D: Not Pinto.
Speaker C: Not Pinto. He doesn't want no kidney beans, just black beans in hot water. Yeah, you can eat it and you.
Speaker D: Can drink crunch it.
Speaker C: how are you guys feeling about, this situation?
Speaker D: Do we wake up and have a little meeting in the morning? Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker C: No, I think that you all, meet up in the morning, you all.
Speaker A: Sit around with Mr. Okra.
Speaker D: I'd rather not meet with him.
Speaker C: He is preparing things in the back for the restaurant. He has decided that he is going to handle the restaurant, for the day on his own, probably for the weekend, because he knows you guys are going to do something, hopefully to help his situation and bring in some extra income and so he's willing to kind of run things while you guys are out doing so. But the question is then is what is it that you guys are thinking about doing?
Speaker D: if Mr. Okaron won't tell us where these hooligans or hoodlums are, maybe some of the other people who are paying them protection could tell us so we could go talk to other shop owners.
Speaker C: It's a fair point.
Speaker D: I don't hear any objections. I see head shaking, but I don't see any objections. I don't hear objections. I, like this idea.
Speaker A: You can't hear my head rattling?
Speaker D: No.
Speaker C: Well, Mika, since you look a little bit hesitant on this idea, what are you kind of thinking? What's your preferred path here? Something other than confronting the.
Speaker A: Well, we weren't confronting the gang. We're talking to people, and I don't like to do.
Speaker C: Gotcha. Okay.
Speaker D: Do you want to help confront the game?
Speaker A: Yeah, we could do that. Talk to the rich people.
Speaker D: Well, we can't confront them if we don't know where they are. We can ask around. That's my.
Speaker A: Probably in that bar that I sent that man to last night.
Speaker D: There's not even a bar there.
Speaker A: You don't know.
Speaker D: I do know the area.
Speaker C: Mika makes another good point, though, when she mentions that, the rich people that, ah, bailed out of, this deal with Mr. Ocron. No. Why would.
Speaker A: Yeah, we can just shake them.
Speaker D: She doesn'T want to talk to regular people. Why would she want to go talk to rich people?
Speaker A: Because they backed out on the deal.
Speaker D: what are you going to do to them?
Speaker A: shake them for all their worst. I'm sure they have a lot of loose change. Their couch cushions. We can probably find all the money we need.
Speaker D: I don't think they're going to let us go through their couch cushions.
Speaker A: we'll tie them up. they back out of a deal, we'll show them exactly who they're dealing with. both sides. You don't want to mess with either side.
Speaker D: I think they've got more money to hire people to take care of us after that nice debate, I think we'd make bigger enemies.
Speaker A: Well, then we make bigger.
Speaker D: Hey, but then we'd give the protection service a real reason to protect us.
Speaker A: Or protect them.
Speaker C: What about Guohan? what's Bohan kind of leaning towards?
Speaker D: Well, Guohan thought we could do, a wicked block party thing.
Speaker C: Dope.
Speaker D: But I have the feeling that, some of these guys don't like that idea and take the more direct approach long term. Well, here's my problem, okay? These guys are bullies, okay? And if we just pay them off, they'll just keep on, bullying him. Mr. Okaron. And he'll always be owing them, right? So even if we can get the money back now, we're just going to own them more down the road, right? Who's to say Mr. Okran doesn't lose more money on a future shipment, right? So if we just go to these bullies and just beat them up and teach them a lesson not to mess with Mr. Okaron, he won't owe them any more money. Maybe we even have to make them pay protection.
Speaker A: That sounds like a horrible plan.
Speaker D: I think it's a great idea.
Speaker A: I got one vote. Why would you beat them up when we literally have nothing? We know nothing about them. We don't know how many numbers there are. We don't know where they are. We don't literally know anything. So why don't we recall? Why don't we just pay them off, and then we have more time to deal with them to figure out a better plan.
Speaker D: Exactly.
Speaker A: From the rich people.
Speaker D: You don't want to go beat up. You want to beat up innocent rich people who just happened to back out of a tea shop deal.
Speaker A: They didn't just happen to back out of it.
Speaker D: No, they did, but that's still the rich.
Speaker A: I'm not saying we have to beat them up. I'm just saying you just said, shake.
Speaker D: Them down for all their shake somebody.
Speaker A: Doesn'T mean you beat them. It's like shaking the couch.
Speaker D: Yes.
Speaker C: Mr. Oguron stops by to fill up everybody's tea, and he says, oh, a block party.
Speaker D: Great idea.
Speaker C: And then he walks away.
Speaker D: Can Bill, Dor and I go on our own adventure? No, we're going to need more people. I'm sure Gua wants that.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: The rooster cat's got to stick together. Is that what we are? We?
Speaker C: The rooster cat?
Speaker D: Oh, no, that's not good. it's the best I can come up with. I can't come up with anything better. So we got three in turkey monkeys.
Speaker A: No, I think your plan is crap.
Speaker D: Well, what are you going to do, go off by yourself?
Speaker A: I'm going to go find the rich people.
Speaker D: This is not a good idea.
Speaker A: It's a great idea.
Speaker D: I, think actually, out of the three plans we came up with, my.
Speaker A: Charming position, they're going to love me.
Speaker C: You were afraid.
Speaker D: The normalcy.
Speaker A: No, I'm not afraid. I just. Why talk to everybody when I could just go straight to the source?
Speaker D: Doesn't sound like you want to talk to them, though.
Speaker A: We'll, see what happens.
Speaker C: Okay.
Speaker D: Jeez.
Speaker C: Okay.
Speaker D: No, Bill's got a point, though. If we just pay him off now. Either way, if we make money from a block party or we go shake down those Richie Rich people, either way, it's just a short term solution.
Speaker A: Yeah, but the short term solution will help us to have a better long term solution.
Speaker D: But your short term solution has a worse long term solution, where we make enemies with rich.
Speaker A: I'm not saying we have to immediately make enemies with them. I'm just saying. And get out of there.
Speaker D: You would create enemies out of people you rob?
Speaker A: You just go clean their house and check their cushions. They won't know.
Speaker D: Oh, okay. Wouldn't they have security if they're super.
Speaker A: Rich and they're going to be watching the maid.
Speaker D: New maids? Yeah. Ah, no. They would.
Speaker A: Nah.
Speaker D: How would you know?
Speaker A: Nah.
Speaker D: Okay, yeah, no, that's a bad idea. Again, I double dip down on that bad idea idea. What if we combined both ideas? Oh, no. And we got the block party together from the neighborhood. Everybody who's paying protection to those guys, and we rile them all up, and then we turn it into a rock party, and everybody gets stones and we stone them. The gang. What are they called again?
Speaker C: The Wild Coyote bores.
Speaker D: Wild coyote bores. We run them out of town.
Speaker C: Oh, okay. You just left it at them? And I said, whoo.
Speaker D: That sounds the most logical. Because if it's just the four of us against them, then our ODs are better. If there's a mob with us. I still say we confront them, but maybe with more people. But then on the other hand, that is putting other people at risk. So if the three of us are four just going and confronting them, can we just throw Mika in a sack and carry her with us?
Speaker A: You can try.
Speaker C: You can try.
Speaker D: Can I try?
Speaker C: I suppose you can. Where are you going?
Speaker D: To sack.
Speaker C: I'm prepared for either scenario. Honestly, if she wants to split up, I'm prepared for that as well.
Speaker D: Can I try to just throw her in a sack? She's like literally half my character's size, but I'm fast.
Speaker C: So call someone out. Basically says, when you openly call on someone to live up to their principle, shift your balance away from center, then name and roll with their principle. On a hit, they are called to act as you say. They must either do it or mark a condition. On a seven to nine, they challenge your view of the world. In turn, you mark one fatigue, or they shift your balance as they choose. On a miss, they can demand you act in accordance to one of your principles. Instead, mark a condition or act as they request. So you would be calling her out. Mika, what are your principles again? As? Ah, a rogue. They're the two sides of your balance, friendship and survival. Okay. Ah, so in this case, yeah, you could use those to. And probably friendship. You could call her out to live up to her friendship kind of direction.
Speaker D: You're not being very friendship right now. You got to live up to that.
Speaker A: Friendship. Nah.
Speaker C: And then you roll for it.
Speaker D: Okay. Minus one. So I need to roll at least an eight. Yeah. All right. Power of, friendship. Five.
Speaker C: A five. All right, so you miss. So on a miss, Mika gets to demand that you act in accordance with one of your principles instead. So you either mark a condition or act as they request.
Speaker D: My principles. That's the main two. It's force and care.
Speaker A: well, he basically said I needed to be a. Right, right. Well.
Speaker C: And join them in what they were doing.
Speaker A: A friend wouldn't force somebody into a paper bag so that they could.
Speaker D: It's going to be burlap.
Speaker A: Unwillingly go on the mission. She did not want to go on.
Speaker D: Maybe throwing you in a burlap sack was not the best idea. It was the first that came to mind. Hey, that's where most good ideas first.
Speaker A: That came to mind was throwing your friend into a bag.
Speaker D: Yes. How about you just come with us? Be a bro. Come with us.
Speaker A: I'm not a bro.
Speaker D: You are an honorary bro. In the Earth Kingdom, we just call everybody bro. You didn't know. There's enough in the Earth kingdom, bro.
Speaker A: Neither am I.
Speaker D: Exactly. I am. That's why you got offended at me calling you bro.
Speaker C: Skylar says everyone that they. All the NPCs are going to have to start calling them Bro now.
Speaker D: I hope so. That'd be an interesting campaign. All Earth Kingdom people are just chill bros. I would love to have to be like this super chill translator, like shody. so anyone else got an idea how we can convince Mika? She's standing right here, bro. Yep, bro.
Speaker C: Well, the way I just do your.
Speaker A: Thing and I'll do my thing, your.
Speaker D: Thing is going to get you in a lot of trouble. So I'm trying to avoid your thing.
Speaker A: I've got into trouble before, and I've gotten out of it. Look it, I'm working on dish. shop.
Speaker D: Okay, how about this? We make a deal, okay? If you can go to the rich people house and you can successfully not get caught stealing money, I want to.
Speaker A: Talk to them before I try to steal from.
Speaker D: Okay, whatever. If your plan goes well and you somehow successfully do whatever your plan is, which is awful, but if you somehow do it, I will owe you. I'll, do your dishes for a week. But if you fail, how can I.
Speaker A: Stare into the abyss if you do my dishes?
Speaker D: fine. Whatever deal you want that's related to the strap, I can't really give you much else.
Speaker A: We all clean the bathrooms on the rare money.
Speaker D: I'll give you all my money. But I honestly could give you all my money right now. I don't care about money much. But she said you want my money.
Speaker C: No, she said you had to clear. She said you had to clean the bathrooms on the rare occasions that she gets assigned to.
Speaker D: Oh, and your shit. Your bathroom. Okay, for a month. That's like four times. I can do that.
Speaker A: No, because I don't always get asked to clean the bathrooms. Me being a woman and all.
Speaker D: Okay, the first three times you have to clean the bathroom, well, you always.
Speaker C: Fine, I'll do four women.
Speaker D: But if it fails and we have to end up bailing you out because you're a dummy, you'll have to do the bathroom duty for me and the other two for a full month.
Speaker A: Whoa, whoa.
Speaker D: because she's going to mess it up. Clearly.
Speaker A: How is that fair? I do three of your jobs.
Speaker D: You want to know how it's fair? Because if you succeed, well, nothing happens. But if you fail, the three of us are going to have to bail you out.
Speaker A: I didn't ask for you to protect me.
Speaker D: What are you going to do? Just sit in jail after trying to rob?
Speaker A: Get out of trouble?
Speaker D: Yeah, not when you rob robbery, people. You'll stay in jail for a while. I forgot an excuse. Prepped and ready, too. She crazy, my sister. She sometimes forgets who she is. Oh, we got to take you back to the.
Speaker C: Tomorrow.
Speaker D: She has a shift tomorrow. She sometimes wanders away. Back to the asylum.
Speaker A: That job, actually, would be a great job.
Speaker D: Exactly. And that is why I've, got this.
Speaker C: Learning so much about Michaela tonight.
Speaker A: No, I was talking about Mika, not about me.
Speaker D: Is it a deal, or are you just going to come with us?
Speaker A: I'm m not coming with you.
Speaker C: Sounds like a deal. Then she's going to go and try to break into the house of the rich people.
Speaker A: I want to talk to the rich people. None of you listen to me.
Speaker C: Talk to the rich people. And the rest of you are going to go find a gang.
Speaker D: No, I'm going to watch this, actually.
Speaker C: Okay. Wow.
Speaker D: We're not helping you. We're not helping you.
Speaker C: Before we go any further with that, what explicitly is the deal?
Speaker D: The, deal is if she somehow manages to trick and dupe these rich people and gets into the house and is able to steal money from the cushions, this is part two. If she does all of this, I'll do her bathroom job.
Speaker C: For what? If she were to manipulate the money, bro.
Speaker D: If she somehow anyway, gets the money. Also, she gets them to agree to.
Speaker C: Give back her words. She said she wants to talk to them.
Speaker D: If she succeeds in getting Mr. Okaron back his. Okay, well, then I'll do the first four bathroom chips. But if she fails. And if she does, she'll probably get arrested. Yeah, we got to bail out. We got to bail her out. And after we do that, she has to do all of our bathroom shifts for a month.
Speaker A: Okay, all of her bathroom?
Speaker D: All of our bathroom shifts. And yourself, you still stuck with yours, too, so you're just bathroom duty for a month. Deal. All right.
Speaker A: Do we want to spit on it?
Speaker D: Sure.
Speaker C: It's a water bender.
Speaker D: I already know that sounded real gross in your headphones. nothing more set in stone, am I right? Earthbender spit shake.
Speaker C: the old spit shake. All right, sounds good. So you guys all, How are you going to find out who, the family was?
Speaker D: Yeah, we still have to find out where the family lives.
Speaker A: Mr. Okra.
Speaker D: The rich family at the top of the hill? That's what he said.
Speaker C: He's cleaning off some of the tables nearby. You.
Speaker A: Hey, Mr. Okuran.
Speaker C: Yes?
Speaker A: could you by chance tell me where, those fancy rich people live?
Speaker C: Which rich people?
Speaker A: The, ones who made a deal with you, and then, like, oh, we don't want your tea.
Speaker C: Oh, yes. the Shifu family. but they said they were representing another family, but they were the direct contact, so I think they're the people to talk to, I suppose.
Speaker A: Yeah. So where are they?
Speaker C: Oh, they're on the kind of Northwestern side of the city. Very, nice house. can't miss it. They have shifu written on a very ornate mailbox.
Speaker A: Okay, well, I'm, just going to take a break. M go visit them.
Speaker C: Well, you guys have the day to do whatever you got to do. All right, that's fine with me.
Speaker A: thanks, man. I mean, bro.
Speaker D: We are in the Earth kingdom. I'm going to hang back. and as I leave, I'm going to say, hey, Mr. Ochron, could I get next month's bathroom schedule just, like, a copy of it?
Speaker C: Oh, I hadn't even written it up yet, but, give me just a moment. And he quick, square balls some things down, and he kind of looks back at you.
Speaker A: Square ball.
Speaker C: Square balls some things down. he draws some square balls. He goes and then he erases them really quickly, and he gets back to actually drawing up the schedule. He makes, like, a graph, and it's just.
Speaker D: Could you space out the Mika m ones away from mine so they're just, like, evenly spaced out? So it's not like, if I had to do hers, they weren't back to back.
Speaker C: Oh, well, I was just going to make Brock do it all this month.
Speaker D: I'll have to do it eventually. It's still in the shop, Mr. O'Brien. I mean, Brock does use it. The. Well, that's true.
Speaker C: No, I'm just kidding. Here you go. Everybody's got an equal number of bathroom shit except for Mika. She always does the women's room.
Speaker D: I forgot about.
Speaker A: You did say the first.
Speaker D: I don't know how this deal is going to work, but you anyway. Spit shake, I'm leaving.
Speaker C: Shook.
Speaker D: I'm grabbing the copy he made and I am leaving. I'm putting in my pocket and I'm heading out. All right, I got to follow Mika.
Speaker C: You can add one bathroom schedule to your inventory. All, Right, sounds good. So you guys step, out the door. I'm assuming you guys are just going to head straight over to this house, then?
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker C: Okay, sounds good. So you guys head northwest, kind of just in that general direction. And, sure enough, the houses start to get more.
Speaker A: Can I just say how nobody wanted to come? And now literally everybody's going.
Speaker D: Well, no, there's a huge difference here. We're not going to help. We're going to see you fail.
Speaker A: Either way, it doesn't matter. I got you guys to do what I wanted to do, and you guys are poking around your idea.
Speaker D: How about us bros?
Speaker A: Sounds like going for me.
Speaker D: Ask around and see where these, pig boys are, whatever they're called. Coyote.
Speaker C: Wild Coyote. Boars.
Speaker D: Yeah, the pig boys. Ask about the pig boys, see where they are.
Speaker C: Like, as you go, you're going to.
Speaker D: Stop at vendors or stuff. Yeah.
Speaker C: Okay. So, yeah. Ah, you pass by, there's a lettuce salesman. There's a squash salesman. My cabbages, there's a pumpkin salesman.
Speaker D: You're going to get Pete.
Speaker C: Ah, there's a small seafood restaurant.
Speaker D: pumpkin guy. I feel like he's got the. No, I'm going to go talk to the seafood guy. Actually, it's just one at a time. That way, find an answer in the first one. We're not going to waste time. Sounds good. I can talk to the pumpkin guy. Okay, so I go up. Is he from the Earth Kingdom?
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: Saw. Dude, you know where these, Wild coyote boys are, bro?
Speaker C: The Wild Coyote Boys. Those bunch of mischievous kids always charge me money not to squish my pumpkins.
Speaker D: Yeah, we're trying to find them, so maybe they don't have to charge anybody anymore. You know where they are?
Speaker C: I always see them going. I always see them going, where is it? Which direction is it? Every time, at the end of the night, when I see him scamming up a bunch of people, I always see him heading southeast.
Speaker D: Southeast? That's the polar opposite direction from where we are headed. Yeah. Well, thank you.
Speaker C: Where are you headed?
Speaker D: We are headed northwest for reasons that are not your business. Mr. Pumpkin man, you seem kind of.
Speaker C: Rude for a guy that just asked me some questions.
Speaker D: I apologize. That's talking to people is not my strong suit.
Speaker C: Well, I tell you what. You asked me a question and I gave you an answer.
Speaker A: We're going to see the Shifu family.
Speaker D: You're here.
Speaker C: I don't even want to know. But if I answered your question, I feel it's only fair for me to ask you one and you to give me a straight answer.
Speaker D: That sounds fair.
Speaker C: You want to buy some pumpkins?
Speaker D: Sorry, we are not interested in buying some pumpkins right now.
Speaker C: Derek.
Speaker D: Blabbit.
Speaker C: I knew you'd say that. Why doesn't anyone want pumpkins? And he wheels his card away.
Speaker D: Nice guy. Yeah, cool dude.
Speaker A: I love the guy.
Speaker D: I'd have a brew ski with him every now and then. What? Pumpkin, you know this guy? No, but I would. Okay, I thought you said, like, you normally have brews with him also. Aren't you too young to drink? Who said that?
Speaker A: Basically a man drinking that stuff.
Speaker C: He's like, no one card. I have a full beard. No one cards me.
Speaker D: No one ever cards me. What are you talking about? I would have some brewskis with that guy. He seemed very nice, even if I couldn't talk to him like a normal, rational human being. I'm sure after hours he's pretty chill.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: All right, so are we heading southeast while she's going north? No, that's all in Hersville. Yeah, southeast. At least we know where they are.
Speaker C: A whole region of the city.
Speaker D: It's a whole area.
Speaker A: Are you guys going to talk to anybody else on the way?
Speaker D: Yeah, there was the lettuce guy. I'm going to go talk to the sushi guy. Whatever.
Speaker C: Sure, it's sushi.
Speaker D: yeah, seafood.
Speaker C: But Sushi would fall under that.
Speaker D: It's the seafood guy. Seafood guy, yeah.
Speaker C: Oh, Shifu.
Speaker D: Shifu guy. Shifu. Found him already. Look at that.
Speaker C: It's a, sushi guy. And he's aggressively some sushi up and then flips it all up into the air, and it lands all decoratively onto this plate.
Speaker D: Bildor walks up to him. He, like, straightens his desk, straightens his tie, and he goes, hello, bro.
Speaker C: Hey, what's up, bro? And, he's, like, talking to you, and he looks completely unengaged because he's working on the sushi, but at the same time, his tone says that he's engaged.
Speaker D: What do, you need, bro?
Speaker C: You want to buy some sushi? Here for some sushi? I got all kinds. I got Coyote bros. Coyote.
Speaker D: Oh, the coyote. Wild boys, coyote pig boys, ugly coyotes, wild coyote boars.
Speaker C: Oh, yeah, the wild coyote boars. Yeah, I know those guys.
Speaker D: They live. Where do they hide out?
Speaker C: Oh, southeast.
Speaker D: I know that. Are they in the dock district or something?
Speaker C: I don't know. I mean, he comes in. he's always got toothpicks. they don't look like they've been manufactured. they just look like little splinters of wood or something. I don't know. He's always chewing on them. And then he sticks them into my sushi rolls and takes them, and I'm like, man, that was supposed to be a customer's order, and he's like, well, I'm a customer now or something. I don't know. He always says something really intense, or at least, like, intense in tone, but it just didn't, like, I don't know.
Speaker D: So he has homemade toothpicks.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker D: That's your lead, is homemade toothpicks.
Speaker C: That's all I know. Right.
Speaker D: Is there a wooded area southeast of here?
Speaker C: well, I mean, you start going, well, no. south doesn't really quite reach the foggy swamp. Doesn't reach south. More north. But, Oh, there's the old lumber mill that's down there. It's all closed up.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker C: I mean, if I was a gang, I guess I'd hang out there. That's a pretty solid spot.
Speaker D: Well, you have done us a great service today.
Speaker C: Really? I haven't even made you any sushi, bro.
Speaker D: No, you've gifted us with information. That's what matters. And some vibes.
Speaker C: does a person get a tip for info and vibes?
Speaker D: I've got one copper for you.
Speaker C: Really?
Speaker A: Sure.
Speaker C: I'm not going to say no.
Speaker D: Thank you. Vibe. Sushi man. Yeah.
Speaker C: How'd you know my name was Vibe?
Speaker D: I just got that vibe from you, bro.
Speaker C: Really?
Speaker D: Going to slide the copper on the counter and just, like, leave.
Speaker C: While doing this, he flips one of his sushi chopping knives into the air, and he pockets the copper, and then he catches the knife. Right on Brez. Well, it's good. And Brodettes, it's, really great to meet all of you.
Speaker A: I didn't stop to talk to him. I'm just keeping walking.
Speaker C: Oh, well, he assumed that you were probably with them. He glanced out of the corner of his eyes as you guys were approaching and saw them talking to you.
Speaker D: How much for a squid?
Speaker C: how you want it? Roasted? Alive? Live? man, I mean, I bought them for two copper. I mean, if you just want One, I can just sell it.
Speaker D: Okay, deal.
Speaker C: All right. Do you want it in something?
Speaker D: Yeah, it's got, like, a bag, a basket. I don't know. How are you keeping live squid?
Speaker C: well, he's got, like, this little aquarium, looking, it's more of a stone, so you have to look down to see the fish and stuff that are inside. But there's some squids. He's got multiple because obviously he works with fish. So, he's got different ones for different types of fish, so they don't attack each other, eat each other. You wouldn't put a bunch of beta fish together. So, he's got one that's just got squids in it. So he flips the knife up in the air, but this time it sticks in the ceiling directly above him. And then he reaches over and he grabs, like, a pair of tongs and he scoops one out and, he kind of just like, looks around and then he stomps on the ground and he makes like a pattern with his foot. And then he stomps again in a sort of box shaped chunk of stone comes out and he scoops up some water, he slaps the squid into it and then he hands it to you and he's like, you're an earthbender, right? I mean, if you want to put a lid on this, go for it. I don't know if you wanted to open or close. I've never had someone ask for a live squid before.
Speaker D: Take care of it.
Speaker C: Usually they go to the market.
Speaker D: Well, we were in the neighborhood.
Speaker C: No, I mean, that's totally fair. I doubt I'm going to sell all these today. And sometimes, they don't make it until the next day. So this seems like a good insurance to making, a sale or making some of my money back. So then he tosses the tongs back down, he reaches up, he grabs his knife and goes back to chopping up some sushi.
