S4 E10: Love With a Side of Anchovies

Kenzie Tartaglione:

Last time on Roseville Beach…

Alexander Christopher:

You wake up (heavy breathing). You’re not sure how much longer its been or if it was just a dream, but you are in a place, strange. Across from you are several other people, and to the right of you is Odysseus.

Alex (Tim):

Ah, yes, am I at the correct residence? Is this the home of one, Arion?

Kenzie (Lou Wells):

Listen here you little piece of shit.

Dan Pyxel (Alyx Cho):

Easy. Easy.

Alex (Mr. War):

Greetings, I’m glad you got my invitation. I am Mr. War. But you can call me Manny.

Kenzie (Lou):

We’re renting the house from a squid. I don’t like this! Can I get out of the lease?

Alex (Mr. War):

I’m looking for my good friend, Arion.

Kenzie (Lou):

Interestingly enough, Mr. War. We are also looking for Arion.

Alex (Hallie):

Have I given you enough time? Are you ready to talk now?

Valiant Dorian (Arion): Leave him alone!

Alex (Hallie):

Arion, I want to help you. I do not want to see anymore of us dead. There are so few left.

Dan:

Alyx sees this fucking thing and is ceased with a deep and terrible anger. The thought of love does not cross her mind.

Val:

Arion looks at them with horror and a new emotion that a siren has never felt before. Guilt.

Alex (GM):

Outside of the steps of the courthouse is Nana Rose shouting at anyone who will hear, being backed up and thrown out.

Abby Yannie:

The woman you see being escorted out of this municipal building is a stout Indigenous woman. She is in her late 60s. She's dark brown hair, it’s been tied back. Grey streaks are starting to come through. Her little round glasses, her little - very grandmotherly. She's got a shawl on. She's got a shrug because, you know, she's going to get cold, you know, if you're outside for too long. But right now she is the face of rage itself.

Abby (Nana Rose):

No, I'm not just going to take that for no reason. That's not a raccoon. I'm telling you, I saw it. I was seeing little gray men outside in New Mexico. No, you get me back out.

Alex (Officer):

Yes, look Rose, I get it, there's no little grey men.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh don't you talk to me like that Stanley, I'm not talking about little gray men, you're not going act like I'm in a home already. I am 67 years young, let's be clear about that young man. I saw you when you were still pissing your pants.

Alex (Officer):

Okay, okay, well, (laughs). Rose, what? No, please, look. I don't know how to help you. It's a raccoon. I'm sorry. A raccoon broke into your home. That's what happened. We'll send animal control out to get the raccoon.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Yeah, you’ll do nothing like last time. He’ll just sit and go leer at all my fish. He still loves me for those anchovies he took. Yeah.

Alex (Officer):

Okay.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You’ll be hearing about more of this. I'll be writing a strongly worded letter. Mm-hmm. That's what I thought.

Alex (Officer):

Yep. Okay.

Alex (GM):

And they’re like slowly like trying to push you out. They're like trying to inch your foot out of the door so they can shut it. Arion, Lou, Alyx, you happen upon this scene, which it's not like a crowd gathering, but Nana Rose can be heard across half of the village.

And also you watch as two men, sort of outsiders, definitely out of place. Full suits, black fedora, but they're stylish, they're sleek. They talk to each other, they set their watches, one of them walks away and the other approaches Nana Rose.

Kenzie:

I look to Arion and Alix and I go,

Kenzie (Lou):

Well obviously they have never been to a beach before.

Val:

Arion has been stress snacking for the past week. Right now he has a deep fried like fish fillet that he's holding with a round of newspaper around it and taking very sad bites out of until you point that out to him.

Val (Arion):

Very stylish though.

Val:

Takes another big bite.

Val (Arion):

What are they doing?

Dan:

Alyx just kind of like, side-eyes you and then looks back over to them and just lights like a fresh cigarette in her hand.

Dan (Alyx):

: Well, ain’t going to figure itself out. Come on.

Kenzie (Lou):

Too many men in suits lately.

Alex (GM):

And this man approaches you, Nana Rose. And he starts taking a detailed account of this raccoon.

Alex (Agent):

Now, can you state your name for me, please?

Abby (Nana Rose):

That’s Rosalinda Mitchell? Yeah, related to the guy on council. Navajo Nation. Uh-huh, yeah. So what I was saying, this thing, it's not a raccoon. I grew up out in the boonies. I know what a raccoon looks like. That wasn't a fucking raccoon. That was some winged dog fuck. I don't know what it was. It was flying around. I heard it scratching because, normally I can drive off a raccoon. I'm pretty tough. But then I hear this thing scrapping along my bait boxes and I can't reach it. So I go at it with a broom. But then, then it flaps away. And that's when I knew I had a Jersey Devil or something on my hands. This isn't any raccoon unless raccoons invented aviation, which I don't think they're smart enough to do.

Alex (Agent):

Now, can you, can you please tell me why you believe that this is a classification Jersey Devil?

Abby (Nana Rose):

So you see, you know, back before I divorced my husband, we saw a lot of things. You see a lot of weird things out in New Mexico. So I was out in my sheep herd…

Abby:

And she just goes on with this whole story about when she was out with her sheep and there was this little gray man.

Abby (Nana Rose):

And then, you know, we started talking, but he ran away. I think he was scared. I almost got him, you know, made it only with a toaster. But yeah, I'm pretty sure I feel it in my bones. That's how I know.

Alex (GM):

And they write down, like, everything you say. Like, they're taking a witness statement.

Alex (Agent):

Thank you. Rosalinda, you've been very helpful.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh my gosh, someone tries to be helpful around here, you're telling me!

Alex (GM):

And they like take their hand out to shake your hand.

Abby:

I just look at it.

Abby (Nana Rose):

What are you trying to do? You trying to sell me something?

Alex (Agent):

Well, (chuckles). It was good talking to you. We'll be in touch.

Alex (GM):

As he walks away, actually right past the three of you and glances towards Arion.

Kenzie (Lou):

Mr. Suit Man, I actually think that you should write down in those notes there that she's very right about raccoons not inventing flight. That was a couple individuals by the last name of Wright. And just, you should know that she's correct.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Thank you. That's a smart young lady right there. You better listen. I'm telling you, the folks around this town, know better unless they're on council, it seems.

Alex (GM):

And he just like takes a cigarette out and lights it and sort of chuckles to himself as he turns the corner.

Val:

A shiver runs up Arion’s spine. He doesn't like being honed in on by any gaze. It sets him off with recent happenings. You see him kind of like retreat back, his hair kind of like falls a little forward past his face.

Arion feels that tug again and the sound of a gravelly voice in his head calling him Siren of an old-echoes of an old promise and he sighs and looks over to Rosalinda and is just like,

Val (Arion):

Ugh, Jersey Devil? What is that?

Abby (Nana Rose):

You know, it's one of those winged dog things that's hanging around.

Abby:

She's sitting down. She's leaning against like a partition of stairs.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh, it's been a day. I've been trying to get these people out here out in city council to help me out with this thing. And I think it's a Jersey Devil or at least it's some winged dog fuck thing.

Kenzie (Lou):

I don't know why I continue to be surprised, but what do you mean that there's a winged dog? Because I, a few weeks back, think I saw a fucked up dog thing and it was like a salamander. So I just want to make sure that I am getting the intel correctly.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh my god, you're right. It could absolutely be a salamander.

Kenzie (Lou):

Oh Shit's back guys.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I’m telling you, you get it young lady. This is why I appreciate you young people. I just do not know what this thing is. They're telling me, it's just a raccoon like I'm crazy. No. It's no raccoon, no raccoon knows how to fly and flap around and make demonic screeching in the middle of night and macaroni noises. No, that's not a raccoon.

Val:

As soon as you see these three folks, you see a young man with wavy black hair and a slightly messy stubble now, but he has an etherealness to him that feels a little strange. And he smiles at you, still with this fried fish in his hand, and asks,

Val (Arion):

So you mentioned this creature flying around. What has it done? Has it stirred up trouble? Eating wires?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh, it’s done more than eating wires. So I own Oyster Landing, right? So all of my income is fish. This thing's been going in my catch. It's been eating things. And normally I would think it was a raccoon, because, you know, raccoons, they got those clever little hands. They have the little thumbs and everything. Creator gave them too many, I'm telling you that much. But I'm fairly certain this thing is some kind of Jersey Devil. I heard it flapping. I saw it flapping. My eyes might be going, but I know, I know when I hear wings flapping and I know what I saw. Unless there's a dragon here, I don't think so.

Val:

Arion has a strange reaction of gulping, this little bit of sweat that he wipes off. This like charming man kind of like readjusts this floral button-up that he's wearing and high-waisted trousers.

Val (Arion):

Dragon (strained chuckle) Right. Friends?

Kenzie (Lou):

Well, I -

Kenzie:

And you see that today, Lou is sporting an actual t-shirt because the crutches were chafing her armpits when she was wearing her tank top. So she's in an actual t-shirt today for like the first time all summer. And it kind of looks weird. You don't normally see Lou dressed in a full shirt. She goes,

Kenzie (Lou):

Well, I am kind of always the first to lend a helping hand around here, so, I’ll do that this time too.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You warm an old woman's heart, you know that dear? Look at you.

Abby:

And she just reached up, pinches your cheek.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Well, you kids, you come back to my shop, I'll feed you. And then we'll talk about dealing with this wing of dog fuck, okay? You young man, it seems like you have a good taste for fish. Here, let me look around.

Abby:

And she fishes around in her big canvas bag and pulls out a tin of tin sardines in chili oil.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Looks like you got some good taste. is, I'm gonna be putting these on the shelf next week if I'm not selling the place. Cause right now I'm thinking about just selling all my stock, but you, you get a little treat. But let's get all you kids fed. Come on, let's go. I'm gonna tell you about that time that I caught a chupacabra. So this is why I need some extra hands. I know what I'm doing.

Dan:

The third one, is very small, like five foot two, very slight but wiry mixed Asian woman like flicks he ash. off of her cigarette.

Dan (Alyx):

: Oyster Landing, you own the bait shop?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Yeah, used to be bait. Not many people fishing nowadays. Also, put up that cancer stick. It's going to be real bad around fish oil. You're going to hurt yourself. Mm-hmm.

Dan:

Looks like back and forth between the two of you.

Kenzie (Lou):

I don't have an issue with the cigarette.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Alright, just don't stand near anything too oily, okay? You’ll send us all exploding. That stuff's real expensive. I gotta press it myself. You don't want to press 50 anchovies. That's not a good time, you hear?

Dan (Alyx):

: No oil. Understood.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Alright, what do you kids want for dinner? I can make Navajo tacos. I can do mutton burger. I'm eating and you're feeding. So we're gonna get this handled before we handle whatever is going on back here.

Abby:

And we're just walking and talking. I'm, you know, leaning heavily on my cane as we’re opening up the shop, getting everything open. Some bannock and a cast iron. We got mutton just being served up. I am still talking somehow as I am chopping up green chilies and just explaining,

Abby (Nana Rose):

Mm-hmm, yeah, it was a cheaper copper. All they needed to do was get a toaster, a little bit of peanut butter. That thing wandered right in. Haven't lost a sheep since, but I'll tell you what, sheep's second favorite hobby, aside from fucking, is dying. Mm-hmm, that's why I got into fishmongering.

Kenzie:

Lou is scandalized. Whom says this woman that I've never spoken to in the last 10 years I've lived here and why is she like this?

Alex (GM):

Well, Nana Rose, correct me if I'm wrong. You've lived here for 30 years, right?

Abby (Nana Rose):

30 years right after the divorce. Yeah. And you know, after the divorce and all that - and here, would you hold those chilies for me while I cut them? Yeah. So my husband, you know, he was fooling around with this girl, Oskarlina, taking her to the casino and everything.

Kenzie:

Lou definitely is holding these chilies and then touches her eye.

Dan:

Alyx is gonna stop you from touching your eye. Andjust grabs your wrist.

Abby (Nana Rose):

And you should listen to this. I know you're all badass with your cigarettes. Between you and me there's a biker gang around here. I'm telling you nobody believes me. But there are these guys. They show up in their leathers and their gals I guess, those beautiful women with their short haircuts. Oh my goodness. I can't think about it too much. But you should look out. They might try to recruit you. And next thing you know you'll be spending all your money on gas. That's my number one thing. Not about the violence. They never break any of my windows or anything. It's the gas usage, makes the air unbreathable. Have another bannock. You look hungry.

Alex (GM):

Have you cleaned up since the attack on your shop?

Abby:

No, I have not. I rushed right to council when I discovered that this winged dog fuck had once again gotten into my bait bucket.

Alex (GM):

The front where you are is pretty much untouched. All the fish are untouched. It's just these sort of like anchovies, right, that have been peeled back and opened and large crates which have been tipped over and everything has been scraped out of it. It's like literally scraped, scratched. Even some are like pierced through.

Val:

While Nana is going off about the many stories of her experiences and the little bits of snacks that Arion gets to have by being in proximity, he's going to take a look at the anchovies and give it a big inhale to see if there's anything odd about the anchovies themselves. He's lived in the ocean for so long and his people and many of the denizens of the deep have been victim of pollution and other such man-made constructions. He's going to investigate them.

Alex (GM):

The first thing, right off the bat, Arianne, these are not locally sourced anchovies. These anchovies are from pretty far away. And you're not sure quite what it is, but they are mixed with something that would attract a creature who is primarily based off of smelling. In fact, when you smell it, it's a little bit too strong. You have to like pull yourself back a little bit because it is so pungent. It is so fishy to say the least. Also, not on the anchovie, but on the can, you can smell sulfur.

Val:

I think there's a moment where Arion like smells it smells too fishy he like tastes it and it's also like too much, everything here feels like too much and Arion hears like sees this and all the cogs in his head are going and he exhales and looks over to Nana.

Val (Arion):

Nana? Where did you say you got these anchovies from again?

Abby (Nana Rose):

I’ll get them from whoever brings them in. Dear, don't you worry about that. That thing's been in ‘em. You're gonna get sick. Here, you want some anchovies? I got some more in my bag, okay?

Val (Arion):

But who brings them in?

Alex (GM):

You would have a normal supplier who would be sort of like your person to bring them in. last week, no ships were coming in or out of Roseville Beach because there was a really, really bad storm. And so you were able to sort of get some discount prices from stock that had to stay or stock that might have washed up onshore.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Betrween you and me,

Abby:

And she pulls you really close, Arion.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Between you and me, that’s the backshelf stock. That’s the fish that’s been sitting there for a bit. If you look close the eyes got kinda cloudy. So really this dog fuck couldn’t have picked a better thing to ruin. But still I got to pay to replace it all. But this is just extra.

Val (Arion):

Right.

Val:

And Arion looks over to like, Alyx and Lou and holds a piece of anchovy over and is like,

Val (Arion):

Smells like sulfur.

Kenzie (Lou):

And not that I'm like a big fish connoisseur or anything, but I assume that's not what it's supposed to smell like.

Dan (Alyx):

: No. Sulfer vulcano or something underground?

Alex (GM):

Just as this is happening, you all hear a trashcan fall over and roll.

Kenzie:

I drop the peppers on the counter and I run to the noise.

Abby:

Lou, I'm going to say as you get to the back door, you are going to see that Nana with surprising speed for her age and size has grabbed a bola covered in scrap metal and is just ready to go.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You open the door, okay? I'll go out, rush and get it. On the count of three.

Kenzie (Lou):

Okay. I don't, I don't. Yes. You sound very confident.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I got some little gray men on my old place. We can do this again, okay? You ready on the count of three?

Abby:

And I count them in as we bust through the door, ready to get this thing.

Alex (GM):

Nana, I'm gonna have you make this roll. You don't have any injuries or scares right now, so you get one die. Just take a d6. You definitely have a relevant background as you are a cryptid hunter. Do you have a relevant skill?

Abby:

I got a bola, I'm ready to go.

Alex (GM):

Take another die. Do you have a second relevant skill?

Abby:

Aside from being tough as nails, no.

Alex (GM):

This is a golden opportunity, so you can take another die. Lou is helping you, so take another day. And are you acting to protect somebody, an ally, a trouble, comfort?

Abby:

No, this is purely selfish. This is about getting revenge.

Alex (GM):

So those are all the dice you're gonna roll. We are going to assign a die to Goal, to clue, and to Injury.

Abby:

I rolled a four, two sixes, a three, and a six.

Alex (GM):

You, Lou, open up the door and on the other side, the trash can is [rolling trash can lid sfx].

Abby:

It’s very Indiana Jones-esque, but without stealing things, I am just whipping this in the air, throwing it like the best of the rancheros, and lassoing this garbage can, making it stop.

Alex (GM):

You pull it into the doorframe so that, well, whatever is in it, if something is in it, wouldn't be able to escape. And you see as a bunch of rotten fish sort of fall out of the trash can. Ones that you've had to throw away because you had backstock, And inside there is a little glowing ember and you all hear this screech, this horrifying dinosaur-like roar, bellowing, amplified by the trash can as it begins to shake and shudder against the door frame. It suddenly tips up and there is a claw and another clawed hand that sort of pull themselves up and out from the trashcan you see a little head, a little beak, a single red feather on its head and it looks at you giving each of you a look. Screeches again. And then flaps its twenty foot wingspan back, flying up into Roseville Beach, into the village, somewhere else.

Kenzie (Lou):

Well, that's a pretty big problem.

Val (Arion):

Oh shit.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I knew it was a fucking chupacabra.

Kenzie (Lou):

What is that thing?

Abby (Nana Rose):

It’s some kind of wicked chupacabra monstrosity, that's what it fucking is.

Dan:

Can I sort through my arcane knowledge? Is this- is it a chupacabra or is it's actual literal scientific name weird dog fuck thing?

Alex (GM):

It takes you a moment to sort of catalog all of the magical beasts that you've been researching. And before you can even think about like, that's what this is, you clock a little tag on its foot, similar to how you would track pigeons in the wild and on it, it just has a simple E.6B79. This is not the winged dog fuck of legend. With maybe the sulfur and maybe the wings and the sort of structure, this could be like a phoenix maybe?

Dan (Alyx):

: Ugh…kay...

Alex (GM):

The only other option is Dragon, but it was very bird-like.

Dan (Alyx):

: Yeah, that's... that shouldn't be here. And that somebody... somebody's tracking that or studying it or…

Dan:

She’s gonna look over at Nana really quickly. Nana like phased by that at all.

Abby:

I am doing the old man yells at cloud and just waving my ball.

Abby (Nana Rose):

That’s right, you better not come back!

Kenzie:

Lou sticks her crutch out in front of Nana to stop her from running if she's going to and then says,

Kenzie (Lou):

Nana Rose, in all of your times in all these stories, has there ever been the likes of what's on this one on those, as in somebody's looking for it?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Like a dog tag? Are you saying this is someone's pet? You saying I got Satan's kitty cat in my back store?

Kenzie (Lou):

Maybe not exactly that, but just like has anybody else shown any interest in the creatures you found?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Not really. The US government, they don't really care what's going on with my folks. Unless like it's something that they can profit from. Even like, you know, when I was seeing Bigfoots at the edge of my property, they never came and help us. No, only real time I've seen like, you know, the men in black, as they say, was like today. But I'm pretty sure those were realtors. You saw them. They were outside City Hall. They were looking, they're all like stuck up.

Kenzie (Lou):

I know most of the people who sell realty in Roseville Beach and I do gotta say, wasn't those guys.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Of course it's the men in black. They wanna know what I put in my tin mussels to make them so good. They're gonna try and buy my storefront. Pretty sure. Always happens. They always do this. That's what they did to the president, you know, Kennedy. Mm-hmm.

Kenzie:

Lou is slowly realizing that she is speaking to a conspiracy theorist. And it's just like, I don't know how to get through.

Val:

Arion’s eye flashes very, very strangely seeing this creature, that tag and it flying off. And there's a deep seated grief that falls inside him. It feels like burning iron chains as he drops his fried fish and starts running after this bird yelling,

Val (Arion):

Wait, no, please come back. We're not going to hurt you.

Val:

And runs off.

Dan (Alyx):

: Oh, what the fuck? Jesus. Lou, are you gonna - I gotta, can you?

Kenzie (Lou):

I know that usually I'm the one to do the running, but can we switch today?

Dan (Alyx):

: Oh fuck, okay.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Let me go get my moped scooter out. We can go and chase someone back there.

Dan (Alyx):

: Does that take three?

Abby (Nana Rose):

You know what, can you fit on my back, young lady?

Kenzie (Lou):

You can fit on mine and I can hold on.

Abby (Nana Rose):

That’s called ingenuity. Let's get going.

Dan:

As they're going over to the moped, she goes up to Lou and is like,

Dan (Alyx):

: You don't need to tell anyone at the sandbar about this.

Kenzie (Lou):

I don't usually have a habit of telling people about the things we get into. They seem fairly secretive.

Dan (Alyx):

: You know what? Great. Fantastic. Let's go.

Alex (GM):

We are going to enter into our chase sequence. You three are on a moped. Arion is running on foot. Our winged dogfuck is flying through the city. It's pretty easy to track its first location because there is a horrified scream from the jukebox as everyone runs to the beach and when the three of you arrive, Arion in tow, it's not too far away from here, the winged dogfuck has crashed through the screen, which they were projecting some horror movie on, jump-scaring everyone right as the scariest thing would have happened.

Kenzie (Lou):

I can fix that!

Abby (Nana Rose):

So last time I was hunting little green men, but the thing is with the flying target, you can't let them get out of sight. So you need to focus on that. You're going to need some range weapons.

Alex (GM):

And I reach once again into my grandmother purse of holding and I produce a trap that looks like it is a toaster attached to a cage with a really long wire.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You just swing that like a lasso and you get it over his dumb little fuck head. That'll be just fine. It'll stop them and you can press this button right here. It'll smell like toast. That's how you know it's on. It'll electrocute them just a little bit.

Kenzie (Lou):

I think that we're trying to take a not so violent approach to the scenario.

Abby (Nana Rose):

No, no, no, with this kind of violent approach, you gotta. You gotta. This fuckers cost me profit.

Kenzie (Lou):

I think that's really gonna upset Arion and I don't think he can be more upset than he is right now.

Abby (Nana Rose):

b Oh my gosh, another day one of these flowery young men is getting upset. I guess we'll take the non-lethal route then.

Kenzie:

Lou puts their hands up and doesn't take it.

Abby:

I’m also offering the Bola. I am just here to be the escape car, in this case, the chase car.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I’m going to hurt my rotator cuff if I toss that. I need one of you young people to do that.

Kenzie (Lou):

I can do the Bola. I'm very strong.

Dan:

Alyx is trying to weigh the secrecy of her magic in her head in this moment and then realizes that number one, Nana's seen everything. And number two, if she did talk about it, Nana talks about conspiracy shit all the time. The odds of it getting picked up are basically none. She's like,

Dan (Alyx):

: I got this. Just get us close.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You got that? This isn't the first time I did a getaway drive.

Abby:

And we just moped into the sunset.

Alex (GM):

It has punched through a giant screen, which they project a movie onto. There's a little lawn with chairs that have been tumbled over as people have run off of the site. And there is like a little building where they would sell tickets and concessions. And then above that, there is a home for the people who own the business to live in. There is a screeching from inside the home as glass shatters inward. And you see the owners rush down, Lou, you know these people very well, you owe them quite a bit of money, as they rush right past you. And then suddenly, you start to smell smoke.

Abby (Nana Rose):

God, it is the devil! It's got fire breath! That’s alright, I know exactly where to find a flame extinguisher and worse things worse, I call down a rain dance. Don't you worry! I got this!

Abby:

And I am just gonna park start looking around.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Where’s the fire department get moving you fucking idiots?

Kenzie:

Lou is already on her crutches going as fast as she can. I think I run up to the owners and I go

Kenzie (Lou):

Is there anybody else inside?

Alex (Owner):

No, no, no, no, no. We got out. I don't know what that thing was. There was this giant, flappy dog shit.

Kenzie (Lou):

We’re gonna take care of it.

Alex (GM):

And then one of them says,

Alex (Owner #2):

That was a bear. What are you talking about? A bear is at our home.

Alex (Owner):

It was not a bear. It was a freaking, I don’t -

Alex (GM):

And they're like bickering between each other.

Kenzie (Lou):

We’re gonna take care of it. You guys need to get as far away from here and as far away from harm as possible, okay?

Alex (GM):

They look at each other, speechless. They look at you, speechless. One of them sees the hole in their projector.

Kenzie (Lou):

I can fix it!

Dan:

Alyx has booked it into the house and is running up to the floor, whatever level it is that they are, the fire and the experiment bird are.

Val:

Same.

Alex (GM):

So it's just two floors. The two of you run up into the home of the owners. It's not anything crazy. It's living room, a kitchen, and a bed. There's not even a different room. It's all one room. And caught up in sheets and sort of like, tangling curtains is the winged dog fuck, as it is opening up all of the... It's actually ripping doors off the cabinets and piercing through all of their canned goods and it like opens its beak and shatters beans everywhere.

Dan (Alyx):

: Oh, fuck's sake.

Dan:

Alyx is just going to like reach out with her hand and there's a bending of light. She's like,

Dan (Alyx):

: Sleep.

Dan:

And we're going to use some magic.

Val:

Arion is so scared for this thing's longevity that he like crouches and is holding out his hands, beads of sweat falling past his face, turning bits of his skin to scales. And he starts chirping in a similar way that he did before Odysseus last time to try and coax this creature to be calm and stop stabbing things.

Alex (GM):

That’s going to be Magic, Goal, honestly Injury and Scared.

Dan:

Magic is fine. Goal is a six. I will put the five in Injured and I guess I will have to fail Scare.

Alex (GM):

As you cast this spell, the winged dog fuck, the spell lands on it and it starts to panic as it crashes through another window and it flaps its wings once, twice, and it crashes somewhere off in another part of the village. Through a building. And I think the scare you're gonna take here is exposure.

Nana, Lou, you saw where this thing crashed. It's not too far away. It was directly into the Marine Marvels building. In fact, one of the boats that it crashed into, it snapped right in half and like released this honk, this loud honking sound.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Now that's what we call strategy. I don't know what MK Ultra tricks your friend used in there, but we've got this in the bag. You just stay back. I'll handle this.

Abby:

And I reach one more time into my bag and get a blankie that you put over someone when they're cold.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I’m gonna make sure this thing is dealt with, don't you worry.

Alex (GM):

And I am going to get back on the moped and zoom away.

Alex (GM):

Do you wait for anybody else?

Abby:

No!

Kenzie:

Lou’s like running with her crutch in the air.

Kenzie (Lou):

Wait, no, don't hurt it! Don’t hurt I!

Alex (GM):

The camera's going to follow Nana as you zip off across the village and screech, almost like drift your way into the parking lot of the Marine Marvels building right next to this boat where there is this sleeping winged dog fuck. And every time it breathes, its chest inhales and there's this warmth that comes about it. And when it exhales, the air starts to like smell like sulfur.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Okay, we’re gonna have to get you some toothpaste or whatever.

Abby:

I begin to approach this thing. It looks very sinister. The camera is behind. It looks like she's about to smother it. But she takes out the blanket, snaps it out, spreads it over this thing and begins to roll it up like a taco, like a burrito.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You have a lot to answer for. We're gonna go home and we're gonna talk, you little fuck, okay? I don't know what you are, but you're real fucking ugly. But we're gonna figure out.

Alex (GM):

You’re about halfway through rolling this up. You maybe - I'm assuming you like crossed its wings in front of its body. You've gotten the wing crossed, you've gotten the second one crossed, and you're starting to roll it up. There's maybe like half of the blanket left. And around the corner [footsteps sfx] comes the man in black. Book in hand, and he shifts his glasses as it like glares off the sun.

Alex (Agent):

Thank you, citizen, but we'll be taking it from here.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh no you are.

Abby:

And I'm going to reach for the electrified toaster and I'm gonna throw it at him. This toaster trap, it is cartoonish, like electricity crackles around it. I throw it, it goes over his head. I press toast five minutes. He is shocked. He falls to the ground.

Alex (GM):

b The man in black drops to his knees. You start to hear a [ripping sfx] as the winged dog fuck has torn one wing free has torn one wing free and is not flying, but clibing its way, one-handed, through the rest of the town. And its heading towards the corner store.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I didn't do my swaddle tightly enough, damn it! I know I should've listened when I was in nursing school. Okay kids, I'm out of breath. I'll get the moped again, but I'm gonna need a nap after this.

Dan:

While Nana's getting the moped, I want to frisk the tased government man.

Alex (GM):

If you use this, it will be bad news for Roseville Beach. Just know that. You get a government-issued gun from this secret agent. You get a badge. And the badge just says, like, secret service. But everything else in their sort of case file appears redacted until you put the glasses on. And it sort of has this neutralizing effect, where you can read the redacted information. They lost a government experiment that they're tracking down.

Dan:

We don't have time to unpack all of this right now. Alyx has been a witch for like ten plus years. She does not take the gun. She does not require it. Lou, maybe, this is a question mark, but like, Alyx just, no, not in this situation. Badge, well, that's interesting. Keep the fucking badge, I can't do it. Alyx is like, do you really think I can bluff my way with that fucking badge? Look at me. We're keeping the book in the glasses though.

Alex (GM):

You have to step over the agent's body to get to the moped and like actually get onto it as the four of you zoom off again.

You arrive at Auntie's corner store. Somewhat familiar of a scene for the three of you. Something has broken into her home. This time it is much more dangerous than Oh Shit.

Dan (Alyx):

: Imo?

Val (Arion):

Oh no, oh no.

Dan (Alyx):

: Imo, are you in here?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Does my hair look okay before we go? Oh my God, it's burning.

Alex (GM):

You start to hear a clattering and a yelling at a thing. And this is clearly Auntie yelling at the winged dog fuck.

Val:

Arion rushes in.

Alex (GM):

Doors burst open. The bell sort of like rips off of the door and falls to the ground. It actually hits the winged dog fuck as it falls onto the floor with a thud. And the winged dog fuck, its head sort of like twitches to you as it opens its mouth and screeches at you. Auntie yelling at it to get out of her store, it twitches its head back, and it opens its beak, and you see flame.

Kenzie:

Can I find a fire extinguisher?

Val:

Arion, not unlike the way he picked up the danger detector, just wraps his arms around this very clearly very warm hot bird and is just going to clasp his beak shut.

Dan:

Once it's shut, it bind like magical, magical like mouth closure. And I'm actually going to like double down. It's just like, let's fucking like - should have done it on the damn carpet before, but it's just sort of like wrap.

Alex (GM):

Arion you're gonna need to roll to pin this bird down that's gonna be Goal, that's gonna be Injury. Lou, you're going to be rolling to find a fire extinguisher, which is going to be Goal and Injury. Alyx, Magic and Goal and Injury.

Val:

To sixes, let's go baby.

Dan:

Full success, six, six, four.

Kenzie:

I got a two fours.

Alex (GM):

Arion, you grapple onto this creature, and you manage to pull its beak down as much as you can, but it's not so much closing it, it's more pulling its head down as the flame starts to scorch at your feet just out of reach of this flame that is emitting from this bird.

Dan:

Just like wrap it like invisible fucking blanket roll up. But this time it's magical.

Alex (GM):

Flame actually like comes out of the side going down out of its mouth, it closes and the thing snaps up in a wrapped situation, but with magic. And the flame is now just spewing straight up in a little stream and kinda like coming right back down, almost like a fountain. The fire extinguisher? It's not where it's supposed to be. Auntie has not kept up regulation code, this is not how it's supposed to be done. You're looking and you're looking and you're looking and you go back in the back and you realize, oh my god, oh shit ate through it.

Kenzie (Lou):

Auntie I swear to God, whatever I try to do to help you, you just make it a hundred times harder for yourself!

Alex (GM):

And she just kind of like shouts something back to you. It's something that you don't quite understand, but it's clearly an insult towards you as she looks to Alyx and she just gives like a, not a wink, not a thumbs up, you did fine, you did adequately.

Dan:

Alyx’s Korean is shit. She knows like twenty words but she did in fact understand at least three of the words that Auntie just said about Lou and is just like

Dan (Alyx):

: She is right, you know, like, you have to- You need a fire extinguisher.

Alex (Auntie):

: Shhh, shh, shh, shh, its fine. It’s fine. We got it fixed. Look!

Alex (GM):

She takes her pan that she had, pulled it right off of the rack, still has the price tag on it, and she taps the side of this bird, not gently at all.

Alex (Auntie):

: It’s fine. It’s fine. Look! You dealt with it.

Alex (GM):

And she goes to grab it and she’s trying to drag it out of her store.

Abby:

I wanna do accidental hand touch here. That is the trope as I'm going to help her. Our hands brush, we make eye contact, the lesbian realization happens.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Hey, you know, by the way, if you need help installing that, you know, I'm kind of what they say, handy. So like, if you need any help with that, I could help it. And don't worry, I'll take this little guy. He needs to answer to me. I think he's just young and he doesn't really have a collar. I'm gonna get him his shots and everything. It is real nice seeing you.

Alex (Auntie):

: This thing is too much. Look at all the damage.

Alex (GM):

She like points back to the door that's missing its bell.

Alex (Auntie):

: Look at all the damage that's done to my home.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I mean, I can help pay for it, but I could fix that for you like this afternoon. I could bring some fish too.

Val (Arion):

What is happening?

Dan:

Lou is like, that's my fucking line. Like, what is this? And Alyx just goes over because because Alyx cannot watch this. This is like watching your - someone hit on your mother. Alyx just goes over to like, Lou, it is just like,

Dan (Alyx):

: We should go.

Kenzie:

Lou looks at Alyx and is like,

Kenzie (Lou):

I’ve tried to help her every single day of my life. What is happening?

Dan (Alyx):

: You owe her so much money.

Kenzie (Lou):

And I've tried to help her.

Abby:

You know, we're both handling this winged dog fuck. It's outside this woman's store. We've been such close friends. We talk every day. We sit by each other. And by talking, I mean like we just sit in silence on the bench. The hands touch. It's the first time I felt anyone's touch in years. Our eyes meet.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I could like come over later and put that door together for you. It's no biggie and I'll handle him.

Alex (Auntie):

: Yeah. Yeah. (Mutters)

Alex (GM):

And she like looks down at you and she like takes you all in from head to toe, back up. She goes,

Alex (Auntie):

: I think I'll take you up on that.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Absolutely. They say I'm not from the Longback clan. You're gonna see a lot of work today.

Alex (GM):

All of you can help fix up the shop if you want to. The winged dog fuck is bound with magic and has been put out back.

Dan:

Alyx is not going to be in the same room as Auntie and Nana because she will die. Lou is doing all of the work.

Kenzie:

Lou is actually doing all of the work and no one is helping Lou. It is just her.

Abby:

I was like, I got to be so real. I'm not doing any of the work. We're just talking and flirting and like two very awkward closeted lesbian ways. Like,

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh yeah, you lift? I could tell. Where'd you get that shirt? It fits you real good.

Alex (Auntie):

: I’ve had this one since - I don’t know when I got it, it was twenty years ago. But its just fine still.

Abby (Nana Rose):

You have a button undone. Let me get that for you.

Alex (Auntie):

: You never buy, you never buy new, you never buy new, you know, you just fix what you got. It's always going to work.

Abby (Nana Rose):

That’s what I say. Always older is better. That's what I always say.

Alex (Auntie):

: Older is better.

Val:

I’m helping by not getting in the way of lesbians, that's how you be an ally. I am getting out of the way of Lou’s work because as you've discovered last episode, I can't use a screwdriver. So I'm not helping in the fixing up. So I'm helping the best way I can talking ancient Greek to the phoenix.

Dan:

Alyx goes into the shop, sees what's happening, grabs a beer out of the cooler, throws two dollars on the counter, however much a beer costs, and then goes out back, just like cracks the lid.

Alex (GM):

Auntie stops you, and she gives you a dollar back.

Kenzie:

Lou’s like, I can't catch a fucking break.

Dan (Alyx):

: (groans)

Dan:

She takes it and just goes out back.

Alex (GM):

And Auntie also pulls out a drink for herself and just sort of like waves one at you, but you know it's a question. Like, is this the one? Or is it this one? Or is it this one? This - this one?

Alex (Auntie):

: Okay, I know.

Alex (GM):

And she like puts it back, she shuts the door and she goes back behind the counter and she pulls out the expensive stuff. This is her own supply. And she opens it up and she pours you one. She doesn't pour herself just you, Nana Rose. And she puts the cap back on and back under.

Abby:

I am going to take a sip and say, you know, I'd love to take you dancing some night. I used to dance real good back in the day. Maybe I still do. You want to find out?

Alex (Auntie):

: I-I-well, dancing's a little hard ever since my hip, you know, got thrown out last year, but I-I can do a good ten minutes. I heard the Cabana is nice.

Abby (Nana Rose):

I heard nice things about that too, and don't you worry, I'll carry you there. I also got a moped.

Alex (Auntie):

: I don't know, I-I-I don’t know about this new crase of music they’ve got going on there. I don’t get what its all about. What is, what is, what is the, with the spinning, there's so much light, there's so much light that just shines off and it blinds you as you're dancing on the floor. We don't need that.

Abby (Nana Rose):

That's gonna give someone a fit. I’ll take ya real nice real classic nice slow dance just you and me I'll hold your hand everything

Kenzie:

Lou on a ladder with a broken leg. Having no idea that this conversation is going on goes,

Kenzie (Lou):

Okay, I think I fixed the top of the door hinge. It also was a little squeaky from the last time, but I made sure that it works smooth. Okay, you're not paying any attention to me. I'll just keep going.

Alex (Auntie):

: There’s paint. There’s paint. There’s paint back there.

Kenzie (Lou):

What am I supposed to paint?

Alex (GM):

Simultaneously point and lean over Nana Rose and turn the radio up to slow jazz.

Kenzie (Lou):

Oh.

Dan:

Alyx is gone.

Abby:

I take her hand and I very tenderly differ as we begin a slow tango.

Alex (GM):

During a part that's a little bit slower, a little bit closer.

Alex (Auntie):

: You know, Rose, I know we've known each other for a long time. We've known each other for thirty years now, is it?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Yeah, thirty years since the divorce. You helped me move into the shop and everything, yeah.

Abby:

This woman is red-faced, by the way. She is just flushed. And it is not the liquor.

Alex (Auntie):

: I’ve been waiting so long, Rose. Why now?

Abby:

And she just pulls just back a little bit, their nose to nose.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Truth be told, I didn't know that, you know, I mean, all these young people, you know, it's fair for them. I didn't know us older folks, we could be like that too. Figured it was too late for us to be happy, you know?

Alex (GM):

She clutches your hand.

Alex (Auntie):

: It is never too late to be happy.

Abby:

I’m gonna take that hand that is holding mine, I'm going to press the knuckles to my lips and kiss them.

Alex (GM):

And she just lets out this shudder as you do.

Alex (Auntie):

: As much as I love this moment, what are we doing about that... big ass bird?

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh right, fuck, my god, he's tied up, right? He's not getting out.

Abby:

It like, it very much like breaks the mold because I'm in monster hunter mode again. I rush back outside to make sure that he's still there, probably seeing Arion cuddling with this thing.

Alex (GM):

The thing never went to sleep either. It's been awake this whole time as Arion has been speaking Greek to it, and this creature, you know, it's beak shut closed, is just now like sitting up like a human and is listening to Arion basically read its stories.

Val:

You’re watching this young man speak god knows what language. It sounds old. His voice has transformed a little bit. It sounds a little more like gravelly and an old, wizened, as he's like speaking to this phoenix trying to like calm it down and in his own words, he's trying to explain,

Val (Arion):

Look where we want to help. We wish to help great phoenix, but I don't know how you've got here and I don't know what situation you are in. So if we could just be relaxed, yes, just like that. Nice and calm. And just trust me, an old friend from the old times, right? Yes.

Abby (Nana Rose):

God damn, that is one ugly dog. What are you e

ven saying to that thing?

Alex (GM):

And it looks over at Nana Rose. Cocks its head to the side.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Yeah, you, I'm talking to you.

Alex (GM):

And it gets up on its hind legs, perched, but like bound, as it hops over to you and starts pecking at you.

Val (Arion):

Oh, woah, woah, woah. Woah, woah, woah. Friend, friend, relax.

Val:

And he’s still speaking this ancient language.

Val (Arion):

Relax, relax. We are all friends. We are all friends here. Not an enemy.

Alex (GM):

You put your hand up and it puts its beak underneath you and pushes you to the side and it keeps pecking towards Nana Rose.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Jesus Christ, I know what you want.

Abby:

And I reach into my bag one last time. Tuna fish. Gourmet anchovies from the Italian Sea. Crack them open.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Is that what you wanted, you little greedy fuck?

Alex (GM):

And it spears the sardine on its beak. And then another one. And then another one.

Dan:

You just see like in the background, like at a distance, like just Alyx smoking a cigarette, just like snap her fingers and the one around its beak undoes.

Alex (GM):

It flings them up into the air and it gobbles them up as it lands, slides those anchovies into its mouth and it brushes its head up against you, Nana Rose.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Jesus, you are the ugliest dog I think I ever met. He don't got tags. He needs somewhere to go. Guess he could stay with me for a little bit til he gets a little bit. Look at him, look at -

Abby:

And I take his little face like you would hold the dog and point at Arion.

Abby (Nana Rose):

He’s a little guy. You know what, he might cost me a lot in profits, but I think he's just a baby. That's a babe right there.

Alex (GM):

Auntie walks up and puts their hand on the winged dog book as well and turns to you and says,

Alex (Auntie):

: I don't know about costing profits. This thing would make a pretty good sideshow.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Well, if we could train him to do tricks, if- oh my- We'll have to start with sit, stay, all the rituals. We’ll have to get him his tags, his shots. Don't worry, I'll go have halfsies with you, we can do 50-50 on the profits, no biggie.

Alex (Auntie):

: 60-40.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Sweetheart, I wouldn't take that money from you.

Alex (GM):

And she laughs because you're wrong.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh, you’re a tricky little vixen, ain't ya? I like that.

Val (Arion):

Perhaps we should ask our friends thoughts on being held.

Val:

Arion says a little uneasy at this discussion of holding this creature here and looks to kind of like Alyx and Lou.

Dan:

Alyx does not look at you in the eyes and you maybe realize that she hasn't responded to anything you've said or looked at you in some time. And she is just like,

Dan (Alyx):

: Listen, you can't showcase him. He's just gotta be free. Like the fucking government's after him, okay?

Abby (Nana Rose):

That’s true. Tell you what, I did this with some kittens, you know, right after the divorce. We'll foster him.

Kenzie (Lou):

I think if anybody cares to hear my two cents, Oh Shit might want a friend. He's all alone out there in the woods.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Oh Shit, wait, wait, why are you confused?

Alex (GM):

Not acknowledging Lou, hears this, turns to Alyx and says,

Alex (Auntie):

: That’s the, that's the, that's the fucked up dog, right?

Kenzie (Lou):

Oh, you can use my words, but we can't look me in the eye, okay?

Dan (Alyx):

: That’s the other, that's the other fucked up dog. we can, you know, they'll-

Abby (Nana Rose):

Do a fucked up dog daycare, that's what I'm hearing!

Dan (Alyx):

: Yeah.

Alex (Auntie):

: We could run a fucked up dog daycare! We could open up a fucked up dog daycare.

Abby (Nana Rose):

We’ll do it. We'll start an LLC. But most importantly, we're free-ranging them.

Alex (GM):

She goes into her store and she like pulls out this drawer with all of these papers. She says,

Alex (Auntie):

: Uh, Lou.

Alex (GM):

And she just waves you over.

Kenzie (Lou):

Yes.

Alex (Auntie):

: There’s a paper in here it's got a big signature on it. It's got like a stamp. It's got the government on it Can you help me find it, dear?

Kenzie:

Lou hears dear, totally straightens up and is like,

Kenzie (Lou):

Of course, anything you need.

Val (Arion):

That took nothing.

Alex (GM):

Auntie has pulled out some chairs for you. It's a nice day. She's made drinks or lemonade or whatever you want. She's made a little thing. She says, you know, just stay out here. Lou and her are gonna find the thing. And she's rifling through the papers with you, pulling out a folder, looking at it.

Alex (Auntie):

: Nah, it's not the right one.

Alex (GM):

And she puts it on the stack of wrong papers, which is the only stack so far. She leans back at her chair, her little stool, and she crosses her arms.

Kenzie:

Lou’s just looking.

Alex (Auntie):

: How’s the uh, Annie? How’s Annie?

Kenzie (Lou):

The last time we spoke, “well” was the word that was used.

Alex (Auntie):

: Yeah? And was that you using that word or was that Annie?

Kenzie (Lou):

That was her using that word.

Alex (Auntie):

: You don't seem so convinced.

Kenzie (Lou):

Yeah, I wasn't convinced when she said it.

Alex (GM):

And she goes into finally looking for the papers.

Kenzie:

Lou almost questions what this is and then goes, I'll ruin it if I say anything. And also goes back to look for the papers.

Alex (GM):

She kind of just puts her hands on top and she gives a big sigh.

Alex (Auntie):

: Don’t waste your youth, Lou. I give you a hard time because I see myself a lot in ya. You're a hard worker and I just don't wanna see you mess it up. Don't, don't, don't, don't become me, Lou.

Kenzie (Lou):

Well, I think you're pretty cool, but I think I know what you mean.

Alex (Auntie):

: Nah, it's uh, mm-mm-mm-mm. We’re not talking about me. I'm talking about you.

Kenzie (Lou):

I’m not trying to mess anything up, but I've got people to take care of, and that just kind of comes first, you know?

Alex (Auntie):

: Who is people?

Kenzie (Lou):

Just like, you know, I wouldn't call it home, but back home.

Alex (Auntie):

: Why aren't you there? Why aren't you there helping them? Why aren't they here helping you?

Kenzie (Lou):

I guess they could be if they weren't in need of help. But that place isn't good for me and I got out when I could and well, Scottie couldn't and so, you know, I gotta do what I can. He's a mess and he tries, but I think if I spent more time with my mom than I did, I might have been in the same boat. So, you know, I can't begrudge him that.

Alex (Auntie):

: It’s hard, trying to care for everybody. Can I give you some advice?

Alex (GM):

And then she goes into giving you the advice.

Alex (Auntie):

: You… You are such a hard worker, Lou. You need to know that. You don't know that? Now you know that. You are a hard worker, Lou. People should respect you, and they should like you. And if they're not willing to give you a fraction of what you give them, you gotta let them ‘em go. I don't know what's next and maybe it all works out in the end, right now it's not working. And if you need them to come get, you know, set on the right path, you send them to me. You send, who is this, this boy, Scottie? Scottie. You send scottie to me. I'll put him to work.

Kenzie (Lou):

I’m sure you would. I'm sure he disappoints.

Alex (Auntie):

: Ah, you got it for 10 years. Scotty will get it for 10 years. Come back after that.

Kenzie (Lou):

Thanks.

Alex (Auntie):

: Yeah.

Kenzie (Lou):

Do you really need help finding a piece of paper? Can I go back outside?

Alex (Auntie):

: (chuckles) You’re working. We're finding the paper.

Kenzie (Lou):

Okay, so sorry. I thought maybe that was a front.

Alex (GM):

You rifle for another ten minutes until you finally find it. This is a little plot of land that Auntie won in a poker game years ago and has done nothing with. It's a little bit of land that's been sort of stripped clear in the swamp and she presents it to you, Nana, as the location of the winged dog fuck daycare.

Abby:

Hands over, touching again as I take the deed.

Abby (Nana Rose):

We’ll have to look over this after, you know, we sit down, we have a tea. My back really hurts. I'm pretty sure yours does too. We did a lot of work back there.

Alex (Auntie):

: So much work.

Abby (Nana Rose):

So much work.

Alex (Auntie):

: So much work. You and me, we did that.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Yeah, we did. We're gonna make sure these little winged dogfucks have a sanctuary where they can fly and be free.

Kenzie (Lou):

I’ll build it.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Atta girl.

Alex (Auntie):

: Oh, for free! Thank you, Lou.

Abby (Nana Rose):

Not for free!

Abby:

And I pull into my bag and produce a Werther's Original.

Abby (Nana Rose):

That’s for your troubles.

Alex:

And the camera's gonna zoom out as just Lou is hooking up the winged dog fuck to some sort of truck that you had to get imported to the island to take out to the sanctuary. And we end with a little like blackout heart on the storefront and a little heart on the bait shop. And then it goes black.
