In Episode 2, our heroes face the reality of Adrielle being sent into the deadly Wildes on a religious expedition. They have 24 hours left in Kyrthys, and who knows if they will return. But before they go... a little fun should be had, right?

### 15 Second Cast Recaps

Keda won the chat poll of whose recap was the best, which gave her a +1 inspiration for the session.

#### Lyrica

*"Oh my gosh. Ok, so start of the story, we meet 4 adventurers. Myself – Current – that just woke up! Oh my GOD THIS IS HORRIBLE I CAN'T DO IT IN 15 SECONDS?"*

#### Jude

*"K. Great. Adrielle got in trouble because her friends snuck out last night. Then we cut to Brine who talks to Captain Reder. Captain Reder said he has a block that he needs to give to somebody. Brine can't do it because she's in trouble with the law so they go to WInona. Winona gets it. Winona also agrees to help Karina with something in the castle. And then–"*

#### Molly

*"Current is being blackmailed by a man named Merrick, who wants the exact same thing that Brine & Winona currently have. Gideon is experiencing religious oppression – great surprise. Adrielle's getting pressure from all sides after being chosen as the champion to go into the Wildes by the monarch– no, uhh.... someone."*

#### Keda

*"Castle kids? In trouble. Karina? Really fucking annoying. Uh... I get this little thing in my pocket. Lyrica also needs the thing in my pocket. I can't do a thing. I end up at the castle. Then Adrielle gets chosen? My rival gets chosen? I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!"*

#### Sam

*"The castle kids are in super trouble. Current is being blackmailed for something that is currently in Winona's pocket because of Captain Reder who's probably dead. Brine met Karina. Karina is a radical but not really. And there's a lot of chaos. They have 24 hours left in Kyrthys THAT'S ALL I KNOW!"*

### Part One

The episode begins only moments after the last one ended: everyone still gathered in the Arcaenon Castle Hall after hearing the announcement that the young monarchs – Za'rah, Kalyn, and Mysha Ossyrov – would each select a champion to represent them and their claim to the throne of Kyrthys on a dangerous mission to the Wildes. The three chosen – Enzo Sabine, Qui'ara "Qui" Lockley, and Adrielle Hollowtide – are still standing off to the side of the platform holding both the young monarchs and the four Hierophants of the Arcaenon.

Adrielle is focusing on not fainting, taken aback by Mysha's choice, by swinging their astrolabe necklace back and forth like a pendulum, while Gideon Osmund keeps an eye on her from their seat a few feet away. As the ceremony continues, and each god is praised, each of the three castle kids quietly offers up their own prayers: Adrielle praying to Dyscourt for guidance in using chaos to their advantage, Gideon praying to Monark for strength (not for themselves this time, but for someone else), and Current praying to An'Para to help Adrielle return safely. The ceremony eventually begins to wind down, with the Hierophants thanking everyone for their devotion before the hall erupts into noise as everyone is talking about what just happened.

Adrielle immediately looks to sneak away as quickly and quietly as possible with Gideon hot on their heels, shooting a look of confusion at Mysha, and Mysha returning the look equally confused. Current looks around for their father Articus Whitmore, but he has apparently left very quickly after the assembly ended. As Adrielle is a mere 15 feet from the door, she hears Hierophant Moneaux ask the chosen three to stay for a moment to receive further information, and they continue moving towards the door and leaves – not wanting to throw up in front of everyone. Gideon scowls at the crowd now whispering about Adrielle's swift exit, as Current moves to stand next to them and Gideon grabs her arm to steady herself. They agree that Current will go look for Adrielle and Gideon will stay and attempt to cover for her (something they never thought they'd be doing), meeting back in the hall in a few minutes.

Gideon looks at Allan, their godparent, and he returns it with a look that cautions them not to get involved as the Hierophants move away. Monarch Renate approaches their group with the look of someone who's just been absolutely blindsided by life-changing news, and firmly requests that the four Hierophants and their children should all go discuss this unexpected turn of events. The three young monarchs seem in complete agreement with their parent, and the group leaves the hall with Gideon staring after them. Neith Alder approaches Gideon and tells her that it's time to start moving everything back out of the way, and Gideon responds saying that they think they need to go pray first, before heading after Current and Adrielle.

In the meantime, Adrielle has run all to way back to their dorm's bathroom, kicked open the door, thrown up in the toilet, and is now slumped on the bathroom floor with the door closed, wrestling with trying to understand how *this* is a reward for her devotion. Current arrives shortly after and gently knocks on the door of the bathroom, asking if they're ok. As Current asks if Adrielle will let her in, Chaed Adelman comes down the hallway and also starts knocking on the door in an attempt to insure that Adrielle is alright. She opens the door and puts her hand over his mouth, telling him that if they're not allowed to freak out, then he is also not allowed to freak out, before brushing past him into their room with Current following.

Adrielle puts her hair up into a bun and starts moving around her room, beginning to pack. They turn to ask Current how they're ever supposed to find people to join their team, when it means risking their lives and going to the Wildes, most likely to die. Current reminds them that there's someone they wouldn't even have to ask, as Adrielle cuts her off saying that they're not allowed to go. Chaed, who has apparently been listening through the door, chimes in to say that he would be willing to go and has already packed a bag, before being yelled at to go away. Adrielle doubles down on Gideon not being allowed to come, as she packs Gideon's leather jacket at the bottom of her bag, before stacking books on top of it. Current expresses their feelings that this isn't right, saying that Adrielle has lived her entire life for the Arcaenon and being devout, but while they've helped everyone here, they aren't being helped because the Arcaenon simply doesn't care what happens to her.

Gideon enters the dormitory, attempting to brush past Chaed on their way upstairs, but stops when he makes a comment about how upset Adrielle must be and how worried he is since people who go to the Wildes generally don't return, beginning to cry as he does so. Gideon puts him in his place, and as Chaed runs away, they attempt to trip him and he falls into a cabinet holding some of the most important parts of Arcanic history of the dorm, most notably the ashes of Sir Scramps – a beloved dormitory cat. As Chaed hits the cabinet, Sir Scramps's urn topples off the top and breaks against the floor, as Chaed sobs, apologizes, and begins cleaning it all up.

Entering Adrielle's room, Gideon softly shuts the door and asks what time they're leaving tomorrow, to which Adrielle responds that Gideon isn't leaving tomorrow. They go back and forth a few times before Adrielle says that she can't reasonably ask them to risk their life for her. Gideon points out that they've already said she doesn't have to ask, and they both admit that because they've lost each other once before neither one of them is willing to do it again. As Gideon asks who they're planning to take instead and mentions Chaed's name, Adrielle says of course not and asks what the loud noise was. Lying, Gideon claims Chaed tried to attack her and little Scramps's ashes spilled everywhere, and as an apology Chaed went to go clean up the chairs. She then goes on to point out that Adrielle should be enjoying their last night, not packing already but Adrielle is still to stressed and upset, feeling as if there's not enough time to get everything done that they need to before they leave in 24 hours.

Moving to Adrielle's little enchanted tea set, Gideon proceeds to make some calming tea for both Adrielle and Current, and says out that they're going unless Adrielle doesn't think they're good enough to go, but that no one is better than them at fighting things. Adrielle decides that it's pointless to continue arguing and returns to packing, and brings up how when the other two chosen were announce the hall was silent, but when their name was called everyone was whispering the same way they did when she saved Mysha from the assassination attempt. Handing out cups of tea to both of their friends, Gideon asks Current how she's doing. Current says they're ok but point out that the whole situation is just so fucked up, and they all just sit quietly with their tea for a minute.

Corvin Barrick comes and knocks on Adrielle's door looking to give them a scroll with a wax seal from Madame General, Vanna Moneaux, containing the logistics that she missed when she fled the assembly. The scroll states:

1. They are getting an airship that can house a team of 7.
2. Whatever provisions they ask for will be provided but they *must* ask for them.
3. They will be assigned a captain who can pilot the airship if they don't provide one.

There's also a post script at the bottom, noting that the other two chosen are seeking assistance from the monarchs, and Adrielle would do well to do the same.

Adrielle briskly thanks Corvin and asks if they know where Mysha is currently, but Corvin says he does not and that he actually only heard the news in passing and offers Adrielle help with preparations, asking if she has a will or if there are any logistic or paperwork he can help them with before they go. Quietly, Adrielle asks what will happen to her parents if she dies, and Corvin tells her that they will receive a generous sum, but they would most likely no longer be nobles (as Adrielle's aasimar lineage is what garnered them nobility in the first place) and be rehoused from Alpinoble to Tyndra.

Awkwardly, Corvin asks if they want booze or anything, and Adrielle laughs a bit, reminding them that she doesn't drink or party the way everyone else does, so they asks what she wants to do on her last night in Kyrthys, looking to Gideon for support. Adrielle interrupts to say that *if* they're going to party, it will be a low-key party and they want to talk to Mysha first. Corvin recommends letting them stew, since they just basically picked Adrielle to go and die, but if they *must* have the conversation just do it tomorrow when they're hungover. Adrielle protests the hangover part, but otherwise agrees to the plan and tells Corvin to meet them at Haus of Huntress at sundown as he leaves.

After Corvin leaves, Adrielle doubles down on not wanting to meet with Mysha hungover tomorrow, and asks Current and Gideon to accompany her to go see them as the three head back towards the castle.

### Break

Over break, an artistic rendering of Kyrthys by Katie Mae floats back and forth through the clouds on the "Be Right Back" screen.

### Part Two

Brine heads to the Airship Docks to secure an airship for the smuggling job she took in the previous episode. Because this job involves a rich, entitled noble, she has to pay the captain a little upfront, but she also makes the client pay upfront. The captain she hires for the job is Acrisio Rini – a half-orc man who runs a tight ship, will charge twice as much, and has the strictest guidelines – and he says the soonest he can get them off Kyrthys is two days from now. He mentions to stay away from the docks tomorrow, as half the castle will be down here but Brine decides not to question him, to avoid getting directly involved, and instead makes her way to Haus of Huntress to see if she can get any information from anyone there.

Winona Fytefair has spent the day outside the castle, keeping an eye out for Karina Kinnear and any flashmob attempts she might have had, but as the crowd begins to disperse it appears that she is in the clear. Hierophant To'ten comes out and makes the announcement about the three champions to the gathered crowd, telling them that this will save them and while Winona isn't sure how she feels about that announcement, it's clear that the people around her are very excited. A little concerned that she hasn't seen Karina, her eye catches one of the taller structures under construction in Tyndra engulfed in flames. Winona considers moving closer to get a better look, but ultimately decides to head towards a "counter culture" party at Haus of Huntress.

Adrielle, Current, and Gideon all head back inside the castle and up to Mysha's quarters, stepping through a barrier designed to nullifying any magical disguises and alert the guards if they're concealing anything or carrying anything dangerous. A guard leads them down the corridor to Mysha's door, and they enter into the sumptuous, lavish quarters that serve as their gilded cage. They see Mysha standing on their balcony and looking up at the clouds, eyes unseeing, as Adrielle approaches and greets them, clearing her throat. Without turning Mysha greets them too, before Adrielle asks why they picked them and Mysha shakes their head saying that she's the only person they've seen face death and live, and if they could protect the heart of Kyrthys by protecting the crown, then maybe she could protect the heart of its citizens too. Look at Mysha, Adrielle notices that, while they have done an almost perfect job at concealing the fact that they'd been crying, the eyeliner under their right eye was still slightly smudged.

Adrielle asks if they knew, and when they deny it she rests her hands on the balcony, before they continue on to say that if they'd had any warning at all, they would have said any other name but theirs. Adrielle tries to explain that they don't expect them to go back on their word, but Mysha cuts them off saying that they also don't want to sentence her to die and that they understand if she hates them. Adrielle pauses before saying that they could never hate Mysha. They sort of shrug that that off, asking who could ever hate the heart of Kyrthys, before Adrielle doubles down, saying they meant that not about Mysha the royal, but about Mysha the person and their friend. Mysha pulls away from that, snapping that friends don't send friends to the Wildes and turn away, before asking who Adrielle intends to take with them. Adrielle shares that Current and Gideon both want to go, and Mysha turns to them and asking if they would both put their lives on the line, to which Current responds that they absolutely would do that for Adrielle.

Gideon is busy eating an apple from the bowl on Mysha's table, and grabs another which they toss to Mysha who catches it, while their hair totally escapes the bun it had been in earlier, falling about their face. Gideon then says that if they were forced to go to the Wildes for any of the three young monarchs, though Gideon calls them nerds, Mysha would be their favorite, and continues munching on their apple. Adrielle lightly reaches up to Mysha's shoulder and gestures for them to sit at the vanity, which they do without thinking and says that they'd be well within their rights to take the airship and dock it somewhere for 6 months before returning and say they've failed. They continue, saying that their siblings would make fine rulers and maybe that's for the best, which Adrielle refuses to hear, but Mysha continues on saying that Za'rah's been looking forward to being the monarch since she was 12, but they think about it and they get sick.

Commiserating, Adrielle shares that she threw up too which gets a small smile out of Mysha, as Adrielle kneels next to them, taking their hands and saying that, of the three siblings, she believes they are the only person who has the heart of Kyrthys, and that they believe Mysha is the only person who could make the divine smile on Kyrthys once again. She then rises and with some light magic, whips Mysha's hair up into a bun again. Mysha looks at the three of them, saying that they would never demand this of them, but it's for their home and their people and if they decide it's worth it, and they succeed then it must be the divine's intent for them to rule. They could never repay that gift, if given, and they beg the three castle kids once more not to die for them. Adrielle assures them that the group will come back, and holds out their pinkie finger to Mysha, which they take with their own, telling Gideon that someone had already visited them, asking them not to let her go.

When Gideon asks who it was, Mysha releases Adrielle's pinkie saying that Gideon can guess and that they're inclined to agree with that person, to which Gideon simply responds that they don't care what monarch or hierophant a person is, nobody can stop them accompanying Adrielle on this mission. She goes on to tell Mysha that she has to go to protect them because that's her job. When Mysha rebukes Gideon for speaking ill of the two ruling bodies of Kyrthys (the monarchs and the hierophants), Gideon asks why they aren't allowed to go and Mysha explains that the request was an emotional one rather than a logical one, from a person who had already lost two people very dear to them, to the Wildes. Gideon says that they will talk to their godfather, Allan, and apologizes to Mysha for getting upset with them, explaining that it's very clear to her what is right in this situation and that they don't want anyone else's feelings to get in the way of doing the right thing. Mysha tries to explain that if Gideon goes and something happens to them, that Allan will resent them for the rest of their lives. when Gideon pushes back, saying that's not something Allan would do, Mysha relents, but not before saying that discord between the crown and the hierophants is unacceptable, as the hierophants are the closest thing to the divine, and that while they won't stop her from going, Gideon needs to deal with that before they leave.

Mysha then turns to Current, saying that they're surprised they haven't seen her father anywhere, and Current says they haven't see him since the beginning of the ceremony. According to Mysha they have a meeting scheduled at dusk, and they will let Current know if he doesn't attend, and Current asks if Mysha would let him know that they're looking for him, if he does show up. Sensing something is off, Mysha offers to send for him immediately, but Current has them hold off until after the scheduled meeting.

Adrielle removes the necklace that she was given for saving Mysha's life and puts it on one of the tables, before Mysha tells them in no uncertain terms to pick it back up and when Adrielle claims it will be of no use to them in the Wildes, Mysha asks if she knows the origin of the necklace. When Adrielle seems confused, Mysha explains that the necklace is from the time when civilization still lived on Acrimon, and that it was the necklace of the queen of the first war and one of the crown's most cherished artifacts. Adrielle asks why it was given to them, and Mysha looks at her, explaining slowly that it was because she save their life, so Adrielle picks the necklace back up and puts it back on.

Mysha asks what they can do to help, be it gathering resources or finding people to fill out the group, and Adrielle admits she doesn't know what she needs as she's never been off Kyrthys, so Mysha looks at Gideon who says they should ask Allan, since he's the only person they know who's gone to the Wildes and not died. Mysha clarifies that the crown will be providing the basics: food, water, sustenance, gold, etc., but what they're asking about is if there are specific weapons they can get for them, or are there certain magical items that they could possibly use. Adrielle explains that she wants to talk to Allan before making any decisions, asking if that's alright, and Mysha says they should just send a message with the list and they will ensure it's all provided. Current thanks them for their help and reminds Gideon and Adrielle that there are a lot of preparations that still need to be made, while Gideon tries to convince Mysha to sneak out and have fun with the three of them, but Mysha says they can't and wishes them all well before turning and heading to their office.

As the three castle kids approach Allan's home, the front door opens and Allan is standing there, telling Gideon that they've been looking for them, before seeing that they're with Current and Adrielle and immediately repeating the word no over and over as they rub their temples. Allan turns to Adrielle and says that they are an exceptional student and will do many great things, before turning back to Gideon, once again saying no as Gideon explains that while they aren't thrilled to go, they have to go. Allan tries to reason with her, explaining that he studied for years before their expedition and he still only barely survived the trip that killed Gideon's parents. In an attempt to placate Gideon, Allan offers to send one of their apprentices who has been studying the Wildes in their place, but Gideon is adamant that they are going, and glancing back at Current and Adrielle they brush past Allan into the house, with him following behind.

Allan continues to attempt to persuade Gideon that sending one of their apprentices means that they remain safe, and that Adrielle and the rest of the group would be safer with an expert, but Gideon fires back that they would never forgive themselves if they didn't go. Pointing out that Gideon is not trained to keep people alive, he goes on to say that Gideon isn't equipped for something like this and that they are barely a graduate of the Arcaenon, and that her parents spent 20 years preparing for their voyage and they still died, so how can Gideon expect to do better than them with only 24 hours to prepare. Allan goes on to call their plans foolhardy, impulsive, and idealist before again reminding them that he's trying to keep them alive. Gideon pauses before firing back that there's no point: if something happens to the group, then she doesn't want to be here, and that means letting her go as unprepared as they are. Allan finally agrees shortly and starts to walk away, but as Gideon explains that they don't want to be mad at him or fight with him, they turn and emotionally explain that letting Gideon go means that they will likely be attending a third Osmund funeral, before continuing to walk away.

Adrielle and Current are peeking in from the windows on either side of the closed door, and after watching everything that just happened, they can see Gideon crying in the foyer so Adrielle enters and softly hugs them, before hugging more firmly as Gideon uncrosses the arms they'd folded to try to keep herself from crying. They tell Gidoen that while she understands that they want to go, she's not going to tell them not to come too, but that staying in Kyrthys is not the worst idea and Gideon agrees, saying that if were anyone else they would stay. Remembering why they came to Allan's in the first place, Adrielle starts gathering books to bring with them on the airship, while Gideon goes to talk to Allan and get the key that unlocks the drawer on his desk containing their parents' journals documenting their Wildes expedition.

When Gideon approaches Allan in their office, she sees him pacing and asks for their parents' notes as well as his, he pauses and then nods, wordlessly retrieving the key from his pocket and hands it to her. She asks if they believe in her at all, and he responds that he thought the world of their parents and thinks the world of Gideon, but he couldn't save them. They offer once more to send one of their apprentices with the group if Adrielle wants, which Gideon accepts before they hug each other fiercely, while Allan offers to make her breakfast in the morning before they leave and they can go over some basics as well which Gideon also accepts. Allan tells them that he loves them, and Gideon tells him the same, brushing past him to get the journals out of the drawer before heading back to Current and Adrielle in the next room.

Gideon shares that they've added one of Allan's apprentices, a feywilds expert, to the team (which Adrielle agrees was a smart decision), before asking if either Adrielle or Current want to talk to their parents before they leave. Current points out that they would love to find their dad, but while he doesn't seem too worried apparently, she would love to try to find him so she can tell him that they're leaving. The group searches for 45 minutes trying to find him, but no one has seen or heard from him at all, and he doesn't answer any of the calls or messages Current sends him on their cympax.

They quickly stop by Adrielle's parents' house, where Adrielle's mother blubbers over her, saying that they will fight the decision if she wants, but Adrielle brushes it off, reminding them that it's what the divine want. Their mother continues to weep, trying to convince Adrielle to have dinner and breakfast with them and visit all her favorite spots, but Adrielle tells them that she needs to study and pack. Their parents spend the whole time trying to convince them not to go, but she eventually puts her foot down, before quickly departing, obviously uncomfortable.

Brine arrives at Haus of Huntress sometime in the late afternoon, and heads to one of the gambling tables to simultaneously keep her head down and try to glean some information from her fellow players and the employees. She ends up winning 12 gold, and while playing hears a rumor about a colossyl dwelling in the mountains in the Wildes, that has been attacking ships that get too close to it recently. Brine also overhears someone talking about the Arcaenon's announcement for the first time. After a while, Zita Drago peeks into the room Brine's playing in to tell her that someone was looking for her, looking to tell her that Captain Reder had been found dead at the docks a few hours prior. After hearing about Captain Reder's death, Brine switches tables in an attempt to avoid any attention she might have received because of that conversation, and also to see if she can hear anything else about what happened, as Zita didn't have a ton of information about the situation, but all she hears is more about the Aracenon's announcement and the names of the three champions.

Winona arrives at Haus of Huntress and after grabbing a drink, makes her rounds around the place, saying hello to all the people she knows who are hanging out there, not wanting anyone to feel excluded. She sees three people at one of the tables, and recognizes one of them as her friend Carlo Malone who is a famous singer and one of the secret leaders in the Weeds. He waves her over and invites her to sit at the table with him, before asking the two people at table with them if they could go grab some food and drinks at the bar so he can chat with Winona and catch up. Leaning in, Carlo asks Winona if she knows why a building in Tyndra burnt down earlier, telling her there was a sign on the fence that said "Weeds don't die" with the last 'E' done in glitter paint because they apparently ran out of regular paint, before asking her if she knows anything about it.

Winona says that *hypothetically* she might know who did it, but she's not entirely comfortable giving up their name to Carlo because she doesn't want them to be in trouble, but when Carlo ends up guessing it's Karina, based on the very little Winona says, she insists that he protect Karina, despite everyone being thoroughly fed up with her and her antics. Claiming he will take care of it, Carlo rises form his chair and circles the table to kiss Winona's forehead, before telling her to put everything on his tab and heading out to find Karina.

The castle kids finally arrive at Haus of Huntress, and Corvin is already waiting for them there, having gotten them a table, and Gideon glaring down all the people trying to get close and talk to Adrielle, though a handful of regulars cheer when they see Current walk in. Hearing that the take would be 1,600 gold, Current announces that they'll be fighting later on, as the group walks over to Corvin's table and settles in.

As the bar gets rowdier with Current's announcement, Brine heads out of the gambling room she's been in to see what the noise is about, before she spots Winona in the crowd and links up with her, asking if she's planning to bet on Current's fight. Winona gets a little embarrassed, having told Brine about a kiss she and Current had shared a few months prior for "good luck", before going and putting some money on Current. Brine also tells Winona that they need to talk later, but that it's nothing serious and, when questioned by Winona, claims it has nothing to do with Karina.

Gideon is double-fisting whiskey sours, and Adrielle is drinking a mango peach daiquiri over at the table, but Gideon's keeping an eye out for Brine, hoping to see her in the mass of people. Brine is doing her best to avoid being seen, but by the time she spots Gideon, they've already noticed her and are making their way over to her. Brine slips into one of the side rooms as Gideon approaches, and she asks why Gideon is all dressed up. When Gideon explains that she's leaving the next day, Brine says she'd heard that and as she's about to ask more, she realizes the implications of what Gideon just said and blanches, pausing a while before telling them that she thought they were smart enough to know that going into the Wildes is a bad idea.

As they start getting into heated banter, the door to Haus of Huntress slams open. Winona is at the bar, trying to discreetly place a bet on Current to win their fight, and turns to see Qui Lockley – her rival and Kalyn's chosen – standing in the doorway with a sword on her back, a little drunk, with a crowd of 15-20 people behind her. Qui starts shouting about how they're going to the Wildes the next day, and since that's the case, she's settling business before she goes and challenged Winona to a duel, as the episode ends.

**Adrielle**: "... I could never hate you, Mysha."
* **Mysha**: "My siblings would make fine rulers."
**Adrielle**: "... But they're not *you* Mysha."
* **Mysha**: "Adrielle I would give you the world. You just need to ask for it."
* **Adrielle**: "I am going to tell you that maybe staying here is not the worst idea on the planet."
**Gideon**: "It is to me."
**Adrielle**: "Okay."
**Gideon**: "If I felt like I could stay, I would. If it were anyone else, I would."
**Adrielle**: "It's me."
**Gideon**: "Well... not to make you jealous, but I'd go for Current too."
* **Allan**: "Do you want me to make you breakfast before you go?"
**Gideon**: *[tearily]* "Yeah. Please."
**Allan**: "Okay, if you come by in the morning we'll have breakfast and we'll walk through a few of the basics, okay?"
**Gideon**: "Okay."
**Allan**: "Okay."
**Gideon**: "Thanks Allan... I'm going to be hungover so I'll need a lot of protein."
**Allan**: "Oh my *god*, Gideon..."
**Gideon**: "I'm kidding. Mostly. We're going to Haus of Huntress, because wouldn't you do that? Right?"
**Allan**: "Do... not *tell* me that..."
**Gideon**: "We're going there to pray. Just kidding, I–"
**Adrielle**: *[from the other room]* "Gideon stop *telling* people..."
* **Brine**: "Now I know you've got a better fucking brain than that, there's no fucking way you're going into the goddamn Wildes, Gideon."
**Gideon**: "I just– I wanted to see you before I left is all... Can I buy you a drink?"
**Brine**: "Have you ever even left the fucking castle, other than to come here and hook up with fucking girls?? Are you kidding me?!"
**Gideon**: "I've hooked up with girls in every neighborhood, first of all–"
**Brine**: "That is *not* the point I'm trying to make Gideon, you know it! You *know* that's not the point I'm trying to make here Gid! You know it."
**Gideon**: "I know, I know... I know. It's stupid, but I'm doing it."
**Brine**: "What are you gonna do in the Wildes?? Swing your little sword around and hope that you fucking hit something?! Do any of you even know *anything* about anything?! Have *any* of you been off of this god forsaken fucking city island??"
**Gideon**: "No."
**Brine**: "What are you doing??"
**Gideon**: "I just– Listen I liked the tape you left me, and I wanted to buy you a drink before I left, alright?"
**Brine**: "Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, no no no no no no no no, what?!"
**Gideon**: "You heard what I said."
**Brine**: "Yeah, I'd like you to repeat it because I'm pretty sure I just hallucinated whatever the fuck came out of your mouth!"
