Speaker 1: Bridgewater is a production of iHeartRadio three D Audio and
Speaker 1: Grim and Mild from Aaron Mankey For a full exposure
Speaker 1: listen with headphones. Listener discretion advised, Shelley.
Speaker 2: I Nope, not ready to talk to you yet. So
Speaker 2: I look, I understand that you guys need a place
Speaker 2: to stay for god knows what reason, But I Nana's.
Speaker 3: House is haunted.
Speaker 4: Uh huh wow.
Speaker 2: Just because we're under one roof, it does not mean
Speaker 2: we're a family. Jeremy, You're welcome here, you always have been.
Speaker 2: Unless did you know that that you know he was
Speaker 2: my father?
Speaker 5: No, I'm I'm I found out, uh last week or
Speaker 5: I guess I guess I sort of figured it out.
Speaker 2: You would have told me, though, right like if live hadn't,
Speaker 2: because god knows, my own mother didn't seem to be
Speaker 2: in a hurry.
Speaker 6: I I don't know.
Speaker 5: I was still trying to adjust to the idea of
Speaker 5: having a family that I didn't know about, and then
Speaker 5: my dead father came back and.
Speaker 2: Right right, I'm sorry, It's just this is probably very
Speaker 2: weird for you too.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, it's going to take some time to.
Speaker 8: Not talking to you.
Speaker 9: Remember, Oh Jesus Godmother, how could you have never told
Speaker 9: me it wasn't just my decision, Nancy Bradshaw.
Speaker 10: I agreed that we didn't want to cause a chaos
Speaker 10: in your Bradshaw.
Speaker 2: Okay, you both knew that we were going to know
Speaker 2: each other.
Speaker 8: We were going to the same school.
Speaker 10: Honey, How was I supposed to know that you were
Speaker 10: going to skip a grade by the time you were
Speaker 10: in the same high school?
Speaker 7: It was too late?
Speaker 8: Oh it's my fault.
Speaker 2: Great, But now when I am forty with two kids
Speaker 2: who have grown up without their uncle, now is just
Speaker 2: the perfect time.
Speaker 11: I think that we can all agree that this situation
Speaker 11: is less than ideal, but it's situation that we have,
Speaker 11: and I think.
Speaker 6: We're pretty goddamn lucky to be in this situation at all.
Speaker 5: Dad, I think you're right. I mean, there really is
Speaker 5: nothing we can do about the past.
Speaker 6: Dad.
Speaker 2: Well, Jeremy had you as a father at least for
Speaker 2: a little bit. And so what is it I'm supposed
Speaker 2: to call you?
Speaker 6: You can call me whatever you want.
Speaker 11: I know I don't get to ask for more.
Speaker 12: All right? Anyone want to order a pizza?
Speaker 6: Ah? Yeah, ha ha ha. Can you just be honest
Speaker 6: with me? Was that the worst lecture I've ever given.
Speaker 3: No, I thought it was fine.
Speaker 6: Why are you sugarcoating it for me?
Speaker 3: Can you have to remember your worst is still better
Speaker 3: than half of the professor's here a ha.
Speaker 6: So you just admitted it it was my worst.
Speaker 3: Jeremy A.
Speaker 6: This all just feels so futile, to say the least.
Speaker 3: Well, I think you can be forgiven for having a
Speaker 3: hard time focusing on telling a bunch of teenagers about
Speaker 3: the cultural reasoning behind the creation of the Dover Demon
Speaker 3: myth when you now know there's a pretty good chance
Speaker 3: that the Dover Demon isn't a myth at all, but
Speaker 3: an actual demon who might actually be out there attacking people.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, I don't think the Dover Demon is
Speaker 5: actually big enough though, to have left a handprint on
Speaker 5: that hand. You know, yes, I know, I know. How
Speaker 5: are you feeling about everything? We haven't really had a
Speaker 5: chance to talk about anything since.
Speaker 3: I'm okay, I guess the only thing is getting my
Speaker 3: degree now suddenly feels way less important, but not unimportant
Speaker 3: enough to just stop doing my work.
Speaker 6: Well for what it's worth.
Speaker 5: I'm really grateful for that, because I am barely keeping
Speaker 5: the curriculum together as it is.
Speaker 6: I definitely would not be able to do this without you.
Speaker 3: Right now, I just feel like if each of us
Speaker 3: is giving half of our all, that adds up to
Speaker 3: something like one hundred.
Speaker 6: Right, it's very inspiring.
Speaker 3: I guess I should I should feel lucky that at
Speaker 3: least my work is related. I can pretend that grading
Speaker 3: papers is going to give some sort of clue about
Speaker 3: what kind of monsters we're dealing with.
Speaker 6: Well, any luck, so far.
Speaker 3: Between everything we've encountered and the sightings I've been tracking
Speaker 3: from the seekers, activity is definitely kicking up.
Speaker 6: Are the secret sightings?
Speaker 12: Are?
Speaker 6: Are they the same kind that we've been encountering?
Speaker 3: Well, there's some overlap. So we know for certain that
Speaker 3: there's a giant black dog and a giant ape like
Speaker 3: bear man your hawk Amack howler hold for applause. That
Speaker 3: might be the same something with large claws and a
Speaker 3: single row of teeth that eats cow lungs and attacks campers,
Speaker 3: and that thing might also have small front paws, or
Speaker 3: you know, there's just some foxes and hawkamock right, and
Speaker 3: the seekers have heard reports of voices in both the
Speaker 3: swamp and free down more than usual, and a bunch
Speaker 3: of alleged encounters with everything from werewolves to aliens to
Speaker 3: Mothman and gold Man.
Speaker 6: Okay, so it's basically the greatest hits. Yeah. Are you
Speaker 6: getting any.
Speaker 5: Sense of how many of them might actually be reliable?
Speaker 3: Well, the Mothman and alien ones intrigue me the most,
Speaker 3: although there's also something to be said for the werewolve sidings.
Speaker 3: We don't get a ton of those.
Speaker 5: Is it weird that despite everything all of this, like
Speaker 5: the legends like were wolves and vampires, those just still
Speaker 5: seem far fetched to me for some reason.
Speaker 3: No, No, I think I get that. I mean, we
Speaker 3: don't really know the bounds of all of this yet, right,
Speaker 3: but both were wolves and vampires are so tied into
Speaker 3: the human world, actual people being transformed into something else,
Speaker 3: and we haven't seen any evidence of that yet, So.
Speaker 5: Right, right, right, You know, I think it's eminently possible
Speaker 5: that those those legends they're coming from some actual supernatural sources,
Speaker 5: but there's a misunderstanding of them, like creatures from the
Speaker 5: Fay realm that are human enough, and then it seems
Speaker 5: like they're from our world or something like that. I
Speaker 5: don't know, it's like, that's.
Speaker 3: What I was thinking about the werewolves. We know there's
Speaker 3: some kind of canine creature and something bipedal.
Speaker 6: Right, and the mothman and the alien sightings.
Speaker 5: The alien sightings are almost certainly puck wedgies or willow
Speaker 5: wisps or something like that, right, right, And then the mothman,
Speaker 5: I mean he's large and he has wings, which is
Speaker 5: like the thunderbird.
Speaker 3: Right. But I was also thinking what about this of
Speaker 3: maybe it's the Jersey Devil. Right, thunderbirds have wings and claws,
Speaker 3: but the Jersey Devil has wings, claws, and teeth.
Speaker 5: You think that that might be the thing that killed
Speaker 5: the camper, but it would have smaller arms.
Speaker 3: Or something like it.
Speaker 6: I know this is in New Jersey, but nothing to say.
Speaker 6: The monsters don't move around though, right.
Speaker 3: And maybe the gates do too. I was thinking about
Speaker 3: the legend of the Jersey Devil. How supposedly Jane Leeds
Speaker 3: had twelve children and then poof.
Speaker 6: Right right, right right, and then her thirteenth transformed into
Speaker 6: a monster.
Speaker 3: We think that the Leeds family actually did have twelve children,
Speaker 3: and I always thought that maybe they did have a thirteenth,
Speaker 3: but they died or were still born, and that's where
Speaker 3: the legend comes from. But what if the thirteenth child
Speaker 3: was given over to the fay Realm.
Speaker 5: Oh, my god, like a sacrifice after the pay Realm
Speaker 5: sent a creature to terrorize the town, a.
Speaker 3: Wy burn or a griffin or some kind of winged
Speaker 3: creature that then got transformed into a local myth that
Speaker 3: casts Mother Leads as a witch.
Speaker 6: That's a very interesting thought, right.
Speaker 3: I realized that really this doesn't help us now.
Speaker 5: But no, no, no, no, it's good. It's good to
Speaker 5: be thinking about this stuff. From everything, I was gonna say,
Speaker 5: it helps to be as prepared as possible in case
Speaker 5: we run into whatever's out.
Speaker 6: There, But that the problem is, there's really.
Speaker 5: There's no way to be prepared for any of this,
Speaker 5: is there, truly?
Speaker 3: I got breakfast with Peyton this morning.
Speaker 6: What Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Wanted to follow up with her on the room. You
Speaker 3: saw her carve try to understand exactly how they work.
Speaker 3: And it's magic, obviously, but it doesn't seem like complicated magic,
Speaker 3: or at least a complicated bit was already been done
Speaker 3: by the Gathering through the years. Apparently there's all kinds
Speaker 3: of runs throughout the Bridgewater Triangle that have been keeping
Speaker 3: things fenced in.
Speaker 6: I don't know how well they're working.
Speaker 3: Well, it seems like the gate doesn't actually have a
Speaker 3: fixed point.
Speaker 6: So you are actually serious about the gates moving around?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if one could hop from New
Speaker 3: Jersey to Massachusetts, but I guess it's shuffled around to
Speaker 3: different spots in the triangle, which is why the ruins
Speaker 3: haven't been all that effective.
Speaker 5: And then Peyton said that she can keep things out,
Speaker 5: but she can't keep things.
Speaker 3: In right exactly, So I was thinking, what if we
Speaker 3: created a kind of border around Freetown Forest. I know
Speaker 3: the gate might not still be over the lake, but
Speaker 3: if we can make the whole area around the lake
Speaker 3: impossible to pass through, then.
Speaker 6: And for all intents and purposes, the creatures would be.
Speaker 3: Kept in, yes, at least until the gate moves.
Speaker 5: Well, I think that's worth a shot. At least it
Speaker 5: could buy us some time. Did Peyton seem up with
Speaker 5: that idea?
Speaker 3: Yeah, she drew out the ruins for me. I was
Speaker 3: actually hoping you'd go to the forest with me and
Speaker 3: start carving them in.
Speaker 6: Please. Why doesn't she want to do it herself?
Speaker 3: She said she's needed in the swamp today.
Speaker 5: Okay, okay, so you and me going back into the
Speaker 5: woods to do magic.
Speaker 6: And with the room my friend taught me the other day.
Speaker 6: Hopefully we'll be covered.
Speaker 5: If we actually run into anything. I have a feeling
Speaker 5: this isn't what you expected when you signed up to
Speaker 5: be a ta.
Speaker 3: Actually, this was exactly what I expected from this job.
Speaker 7: Shelley, you're home.
Speaker 2: Have you just been sitting in the kitchen waiting for me?
Speaker 7: I thought maybe we could talk.
Speaker 2: I had such a terrible night's sleep last night that
Speaker 2: I had to skip out on work early. In fact,
Speaker 2: I've had a series of terrible night's sleep, so I
Speaker 2: would like to sit down and just not think for
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 10: Well, then sit down here at least and let me
Speaker 10: do all the talking. Mom stop, Look, baby, I don't
Speaker 10: know how long we're going to be staying here, but
Speaker 10: I think we should figure out how to live together
Speaker 10: peacefully while we're here.
Speaker 2: I'm fine having you guys stay as long as you
Speaker 2: need to, but that doesn't mean that we need to
Speaker 2: interact at all.
Speaker 7: Shelley, it's three pm.
Speaker 2: It's three pm, the day after my lying mother showed
Speaker 2: up on my doorstep with the father and brother. I
Speaker 2: never knew about in Toe, so I think that I
Speaker 2: have earned a glass of wine.
Speaker 7: Do you mind pouring me a glass?
Speaker 3: Then? Yes, I do.
Speaker 6: Mind.
Speaker 10: You haven't really yelled at me yet, you know, if
Speaker 10: you want to yell at me, go right ahead.
Speaker 2: I don't want to yell at you, Mom, I'm not.
Speaker 2: I'm not even sure that I'm angry, not anymore. I
Speaker 2: just I'm I'm more sad. I know you robbed me
Speaker 2: oh so much of knowing who my father was, the
Speaker 2: chance to ask questions about him, to keep him with
Speaker 2: me as I grew up, of having a brother.
Speaker 7: I know, I know.
Speaker 2: Do you want to know what hurts the most?
Speaker 5: Mom?
Speaker 8: You robbed me of you?
Speaker 2: I mean you never there was always this canyon between us.
Speaker 6: I'm so sorry.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not. I'm not saying that you were
Speaker 2: a bad mother.
Speaker 8: It's not.
Speaker 2: I always knew that you loved me and that you
Speaker 2: would do anything to protect me, and you raised me
Speaker 2: to be strong and thoughtful and to take no shit
Speaker 2: from anyone, and I am I'm really grateful for that.
Speaker 2: But but you kept yourself like at this distance always,
Speaker 2: And that's the thing that I kept thinking about as
Speaker 2: I lay in bed last night, because it's just too much. Mom,
Speaker 2: there's too many.
Speaker 13: Changes to my reality that you brought to my door,
Speaker 13: and so the only thing that I could focus on
Speaker 13: after seeing you was how all of it answered a
Speaker 13: question I've been asking my whole life.
Speaker 7: Who your father was.
Speaker 2: No, No, not that question, the question of why you
Speaker 2: are the way that you are. No, it makes sense. No,
Speaker 2: you didn't know how to connect with me because when
Speaker 2: you looked at me, you were reminded of him, of
Speaker 2: what you lost.
Speaker 10: Shelley, Shelley, No, it's okay, No, it's not, Shelley. That's
Speaker 10: not at all why you are right. There was a
Speaker 10: distance between us, and I could feel it growing bigger
Speaker 10: and deeper with each passing year, and I, you know,
Speaker 10: I never knew how to fix it, but it never
Speaker 10: had anything to do with you.
Speaker 6: I love you.
Speaker 10: I love you more than anything in the world. You
Speaker 10: and Live and Ethan are the most important people to me,
Speaker 10: and I would.
Speaker 7: Do anything anything for you.
Speaker 10: I know that, and all the failings I had as
Speaker 10: a mother keeping you at arms at length that never
Speaker 10: ever had anything to do with you. You would do
Speaker 10: things sometimes that reminded me of Thomas, you know.
Speaker 9: Like.
Speaker 10: Those expressions that you would get or the way that
Speaker 10: you were always so practical, But those honey, only ever
Speaker 10: made me happy that he lived in you. You know,
Speaker 10: he never made me sad that I could see your
Speaker 10: dad in you.
Speaker 2: But then why, oh, just.
Speaker 7: Something broke in me.
Speaker 10: At the time when Thomas first disappeared, there was hope
Speaker 10: and no hope that he would turn up, we'd find him,
Speaker 10: and then that hope kind of just turned into waiting
Speaker 10: for answers, and by the time I realized neither were coming,
Speaker 10: I was nine months pregnant and terrified. We were so
Speaker 10: excited when we found out about you. Thomas had already
Speaker 10: been planning on leaving Nancy, he had told her as much.
Speaker 10: And then this amazing thing was happening, and Jeremy was
Speaker 10: really warming up to me, and it felt it felt like,
Speaker 10: you know, we were gonna be a real family. I
Speaker 10: never expected to do it all alone. And it kind
Speaker 10: of felt like it happened all at once. You know,
Speaker 10: you were born and Thomas was gone. And on top
Speaker 10: of all that, I lost Jeremy. I lost this sweet
Speaker 10: little boy who I'd start to think of as my
Speaker 10: own son.
Speaker 7: But I had you.
Speaker 10: I had lost the most important people to me, and
Speaker 10: one feel swoop and at the same time, I began
Speaker 10: the best part of my life, the part where I
Speaker 10: get to be your mom, and it was it was
Speaker 10: just too much, you know, it was it was like
Speaker 10: my heart was so overwhelmed with feeling and grief and
Speaker 10: joy and anger and fear.
Speaker 7: I just I just shut down.
Speaker 10: And then I I never really started back up again.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 2: I think that's the most I've ever heard you talk
Speaker 2: about your feelings.
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, they've been a little hard to access for
Speaker 10: the past forty years, and I'm really sorry for that.
Speaker 7: I wanted to give you so much.
Speaker 10: And if I could go back and do it all
Speaker 10: over again, even if that meant losing Thomas and Jeremy again,
Speaker 10: I would do it. I would do it a thousand
Speaker 10: times if it meant I could get it right.
Speaker 2: For what it's worth. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You
Speaker 2: lost so much.
Speaker 7: I gained more.
Speaker 10: And look, you know, now here we are and we're
Speaker 10: all together again, and it's.
Speaker 8: Weird.
Speaker 4: Well that's putting it mildly.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, but it could be good. We could have
Speaker 10: the family we were always supposed to, or at least
Speaker 10: something close to it.
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, maybe.
Speaker 6: Wow, You've got a lot of posters. I wonder if
Speaker 6: Jerry's wall was like this when he was.
Speaker 4: Young, if there's anything like my mom, I doubt right.
Speaker 11: I don't recognize any of these bands. I guess that
Speaker 11: shouldn't be too surprising.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess not. You know, I think maybe I
Speaker 4: should set you up on some.
Speaker 14: Sort of Google playdate because you still haven't been on
Speaker 14: the internet, right Google.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'll be honest, I'm still a little intimidated by it.
Speaker 6: But you're pretty good.
Speaker 11: At all of this stuff, right, all this technology stuff.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I always been really into it.
Speaker 14: But this, this radio, it's a bit out of my
Speaker 14: skill set.
Speaker 6: But but that that that program is helping.
Speaker 4: YouTube tutorials are the answer to every question.
Speaker 6: YouTube.
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, tubular should work?
Speaker 8: Now do you know what was wrong with it?
Speaker 4: Just a short and here we go.
Speaker 6: Well done.
Speaker 14: Well that was the easy part. Right now, we've got
Speaker 14: to figure out how to tap into the liminal. Do
Speaker 14: you remember what it was like to try and call
Speaker 14: out to Nana when you were over there?
Speaker 11: There wasn't you know, any strategy to it. I just
Speaker 11: I was just trying to get through.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: That must have been scary.
Speaker 6: Come on, let's get this thing going right.
Speaker 4: Okay, So what station do we think Carrie's ghost broadcasts.
Speaker 11: I guess we could just scan through a bunch of
Speaker 11: different frequencies see if anything pops out.
Speaker 4: Okay, I am im both. Yeah, this might take a while.
Speaker 4: There are a lot more stations now than there were
Speaker 4: in nineteen forty.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet maybe I can hear some of the
Speaker 6: new music.
Speaker 7: Whoa here you okay?
Speaker 12: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm just no, No, I'm fine.
Speaker 6: I'm fine. It's just my chest is a little tight
Speaker 6: for some reason.
Speaker 4: Do you want me to get you some water or something?
Speaker 6: No, I'm fine.
Speaker 11: Let's let's say go ahead's communicate with the other side,
Speaker 11: h Olivia.
Speaker 6: I'm fine.
Speaker 3: Oh it's a beautiful day. Huh. Okay. So she said
Speaker 3: to be sure to carve the ruins in birch, beach
Speaker 3: or pine, but not hickory.
Speaker 6: Okay, cool. Do you even know what those trees look like?
Speaker 3: Oh? Yes, I do. Birch and pine are both pretty distinctive.
Speaker 5: Great, so let's stick to those and just say fuck beach,
Speaker 5: fuck beach.
Speaker 6: She didn't say we had to use all three types,
Speaker 6: did cheap?
Speaker 3: No, just that there are best woods for channeling the magic.
Speaker 3: So how are you doing?
Speaker 6: Oh what do you mean?
Speaker 3: I mean, I know you've known Shelley for a.
Speaker 5: While, but oh yeah that Uh, I'm okay. I feel
Speaker 5: like I've I've had time to adjust, not fully.
Speaker 6: But at least. Uh.
Speaker 5: I was hit with the revelation that I have a
Speaker 5: half sister before my dad reappeared.
Speaker 6: Shelley was given that one two punch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Olivia was too Oh.
Speaker 6: God right, you're right. I didn't even think about that.
Speaker 5: We haven't really had the uncle niece talk yet.
Speaker 6: I guess.
Speaker 3: Is that is that a talk that people have seems like.
Speaker 6: A talk we're gonna need that. I don't know. God,
Speaker 6: I can't believe Joseph Hoskins is my brother in.
Speaker 3: Law, you know, I mean, there really is no way
Speaker 3: to exaggerate just how small this town is.
Speaker 5: Huh, there really isn't. I really don't like that guy. Well,
Speaker 5: things seem pretty calm today. Maybe what ever Peyton's done
Speaker 5: so far as working.
Speaker 3: I hope So I really don't want to run into
Speaker 3: that dog again.
Speaker 6: Speaking of which, have you checked in with a doctor
Speaker 6: about that? No, it was just a scratch.
Speaker 3: I'm fine.
Speaker 6: How do you how do you know?
Speaker 5: I mean, Okay, I guess magical dogs probably aren't risk
Speaker 5: of transmitting rabies.
Speaker 3: Oh god, I didn't even think about that. What if
Speaker 3: I have some kind of magical rabies?
Speaker 8: I definitely don't think you have magical rabies.
Speaker 3: Oh hey you're here.
Speaker 6: Hey.
Speaker 8: You say carve magic runes and I say show me where.
Speaker 6: H Viippin.
Speaker 5: This is the legend tripper I was telling you about
Speaker 5: the one who I kept running into taught me that rune.
Speaker 3: Oh hi, and this.
Speaker 6: Is my friend Nippin.
Speaker 8: Nice to meet you, Vippin.
Speaker 3: So why do you say I definitely don't have magical rabies?
Speaker 3: Couldn't the dog be carrying some kind of I don't know.
Speaker 8: Curse maybe, but it's unlikely it be transferred through its claws.
Speaker 8: You didn't get bitten, did you? No, then you're probably okay.
Speaker 8: Bites are really what you have to worry about with synanthropes.
Speaker 8: If you'd gotten scratched by a mantic core or a
Speaker 8: fad felon, it'd be a different story. But it seems
Speaker 8: like you got lucky.
Speaker 3: Lucky, right. Hey, you sound pretty confident about all this.
Speaker 6: Told you she was pretty knowledgeable.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've been around the block.
Speaker 3: Oh you've had encounters.
Speaker 8: I know it's all real, if that's what you.
Speaker 3: Mean, right, But to be clear without proof.
Speaker 6: Well you believe before you had proof.
Speaker 3: Right, No, I wanted to believe. That's different from claiming
Speaker 3: to know exactly what kinds of dangerous monster I suppose
Speaker 3: when you haven't actually seen one.
Speaker 8: Whoa, whoa. I didn't mean to offend.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, you didn't.
Speaker 3: I just think it's a little weird, that's all.
Speaker 8: Yeah, this is all a bit weird. That's kind of
Speaker 8: the point, right.
Speaker 12: No.
Speaker 3: I mean the fact that you seem to just be
Speaker 3: going around the wilderness waiting to run into people, so
Speaker 3: lecture them on what you think you know about the supernatural.
Speaker 8: I feel like we got off on the wrong foot.
Speaker 6: Can you excuse us for just a second. Hey, man,
Speaker 6: are you okay? What's going on?
Speaker 3: Don't you find this suspicious? The woman she just showed
Speaker 3: up I texted her. Yeah, But I mean before, where
Speaker 3: did she come from?
Speaker 6: What is this really about, Vivian?
Speaker 5: Are you worried that she's wrong, that the dog claws
Speaker 5: really could have done something to you?
Speaker 3: No? No, no, it's not that it's I just have
Speaker 3: a bad feeling, Jeremy, you met the rest of the
Speaker 3: legend trippers.
Speaker 5: Some of them might be a little too fanatical, but
Speaker 5: they're good allies for us to have. Okay, and she's
Speaker 5: been super helpful to me. Just give her a chance.
Speaker 5: I actually think you'll you'll come to like her, maybe
Speaker 5: you'll maybe you'll even become friends.
Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know why I
Speaker 3: got so I'm good.
Speaker 8: Okay, all right, good, let's go everything.
Speaker 6: Okay, yes, we're good.
Speaker 8: So I guess Peyton was deemed trustworthy after all.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, she's actually been surprisingly helpful. She gave
Speaker 5: up and a bunch of information and then these runes.
Speaker 3: Right ah, yeah, she made the snake disappear with a
Speaker 3: protection room. So we thought we'd contribute to the cause by.
Speaker 8: By carving more runes. Yep, I'm all aboard. So what
Speaker 8: is it? Birch and beech trees are what we're aiming for,
Speaker 8: right and pine? Sure, sure, pine, as long as it's
Speaker 8: not hickory.
Speaker 6: Yeah, impressive.
Speaker 8: This isn't my first time carving protective runs, if you
Speaker 8: can believe it, But this might be the first time
Speaker 8: that I'll be doing so with complete confidence that they
Speaker 8: actually work. Because you still haven't tested the one I
Speaker 8: taught you have you?
Speaker 6: Well, we hope this will work.
Speaker 5: Just because Peyton did it right doesn't mean we'll be
Speaker 5: able to can I see?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 8: Thanks? Uh huh? These look good, though, I think maybe
Speaker 8: she didn't finish this one. See here, these lines are
Speaker 8: supposed to connect. Do you have a pen um?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, here you go?
Speaker 8: Oh thank you? See like that? Without those lines, I
Speaker 8: think this would be the room for separation, which I
Speaker 8: have a feeling is not our aim. Here.
Speaker 6: Oh good catch that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess.
Speaker 8: I'm cheating a bit. I actually have a tattoo of
Speaker 8: this room.
Speaker 6: No shit.
Speaker 3: Wow, wow, you really are committed figure.
Speaker 8: It can't hurt to be protected at all times.
Speaker 6: So this works on individuals as well, that's the hope.
Speaker 8: Another room from that conference friend, But like the hand sign,
Speaker 8: it has gone untested. Oh now I'm realizing maybe the
Speaker 8: tattoo is why I've never had an encounter before.
Speaker 5: Well, I hate to take away your hope of seeing
Speaker 5: a monster even more, but we should probably get to
Speaker 5: carving these rooms.
Speaker 8: No, you're right, no more dead campers is the most
Speaker 8: important thing. Oh, I can go first. Huh. This birch
Speaker 8: tree should work wait.
Speaker 6: Are you sure?
Speaker 3: Oh, she's just gonna go for it.
Speaker 5: Okay, Now I should just say we probably shouldn't expect
Speaker 5: anything to happen right away. We're not actually banishing anything
Speaker 5: to the other realm. And I imagine that we need
Speaker 5: a bunch of these before anything actually starts.
Speaker 3: What was that?
Speaker 8: Maybe something sealing up or maybe there was something here
Speaker 8: and it just feel this?
Speaker 6: What?
Speaker 12: Holy?
Speaker 8: Oh my god, run road run?
Speaker 5: What is that?
Speaker 8: Ah shad, I think we found your Jersey temple. I
