Playing Clover, Ivy Fern, The Leech, Jessica Tai How's it going? And playing Fenton Beasley, a.k.a. Mr. Gilbert, a.k.a.

Toblerone Jones, The Slide Paul Abdulaziz Paul Abdulaziz Paula Abdulaziz That's pretty good When last we left our heroes, they had acquired new territory In the mercantile district of the High Spear Mall By convincing The coolest shit Hubberstone twins To sell their wine gums for them And also drawing the intense ire of the Hot Meat Boys yet again And causing just unlimited chaos at a kid's birthday party Now we can begin the downtime activities First we'll determine your entanglements So how entanglements work is after your payoff Roll a number of dice equal to your wanted level And read the results according to your heat You have a total of four heat Pfft!

It is a three Which is gang trouble or questioning Sick, we're gonna get question again Cool Fun! It was fun last time Yeah Is that you guys wanna go with questions? Yes Yeah, it was good Okay So how questioning works is the Mall security grabs an NPC member of your crew But we have determined that you do not want it to be an NPC Fuck the NPCs You want it to be one of you guys And question you related to one of your crimes So who does mall security think is the most vulnerable?

It's Fenton Yeah So roll a dice that will determine how much more heat we get Yeah One single dice Yeah And it's gonna be six minus whatever this is Nope Oh, okay On a one to three you're gonna get two It's always fun when you Oh, okay It's always just fun when you guess On a one to three it'll be two heat And on a four to five it'll be two heat And on a five it'll be one heat So this could give me three or two?

Two Two, max Or one maybe Or zero Or maybe zero if I roll six Yeah, maybe it'll be zero Fuck What is it?

One Alright Dang it It's the opposite one from what I was trying to get Yeah, so that is an additional two heat for the cool tree kid Oh Fenton Beasley Which means Uh It sounds like I'm a cool tree kid I'm a character in a 1950s sitcom Yeah, totally Leave me to Beasley So here's the scene direction Uh-huh That's about to happen Cause I assume you wanna play it out a little bit I guess so, yeah Um Fenton's gonna give up the goods No No You have to for two heat Cause it means that It means that you just give up too much information Uh-huh But it doesn't have to be that much Because Corb Green's a damn fine detective So you could give him just a little bit And he's gonna follow that lead like a dog following a bone I guess so, yeah Um So He seemed Last time we talked to him He seemed to be putting together Connections that were like Well, he's a writer He Oh, right I guess he is a writer It's kinda cool that he's a writer He's got a mind for stories Yeah Yeah Um Okay, so where He's kinda like the detective from Knives Out And Murder, She Wrote I haven't seen it No spoilers Yeah Yeah, I was gonna say Murder, She Wrote And Castle Featuring Nathan Fillion Okay, so where's Where's Fenton when this happens?

Messiah Jones says, Such a fan of this podcast. I love the variety and all three have pretty good chemistry. G is far too confident in her own intelligence sometimes, and Simon can be a real curmudgeon. But the three work together well enough to keep the flow and make a good product. Serenity Indeed says, Love this podcast so far, but the audio is all over the place. It goes from quiet at the start of a sentence to loud in the middle.

Every time somebody stops talking for even half a second, their audio goes quiet and has to ramp up again. It's very distracting. Edit, this audio issue was with my laptop. Find Yomp on all your favourite podcast platforms. Yomp!
