Episode 71 - Threatened With a Good Time

## Transcription

*Mira and Neska, from 04:10 to 12:45 with some out of character content omitted. Transcribed by Sarah Z.*

**Luke:** However, there does seem to be an individual sitting upon the bed.

**Sarah:** Oh.

**Luke:** Your window also seems to be open, and a light warm breeze is coming in. This figure, this individual, this person sitting on your bed, they are sitting near the edge of your bed. You can see that there's a very... like, if someone had just gotten out of the shower and are just walking around and letting water drip everywhere? It almost looks like that happened on the floor between your window and your bed and now this person's sitting on your bed letting it get soaked in stuff.

**Sarah:** Jesus, what do they look like?

**Luke**: They are sitting, hunched over, and they look... sickly. In terms of like, their skin is pulled very very tightly over their skeleton. Like, they look very.. not the best, in all reality. Like, as if a person hadn't eaten in multiple months. Her head... her face, at the very least, looks very skull-like, and she has very high cheekbones.

And as you walk in, I presume you've closed the door already and put your things down. And she turns to look at you, and you can see that she has these very very bright green eyes, and that she is holding on, like, her lap, this small, ovular urn, and there seems to be some details on it that you can't quite make out. Additionally, as her head turns towards you, she has this like.. probably slightly higher than shoulder length, black, very matted wet hair?

But in her forehead as she turns and looks at you, there's a large, round indent. She turns and looks at you. She will smile a little bit, and you can see these very sharp teeth that almost look like they curve back into her mouth. And she will say:

**Neska:** I have been waiting weeks to speak with you.

**Mira:** Aah! Oh my g- what are you? Are you okay?? What the fuck!?

**Luke:** They will sigh heavily, as if they’re completely exasperated at this point. And will not stand, but will look towards Allena’s bed that’s like sitting across the room from where she is, and say

**Neska:** Sit down. We must speak.

**Mira:** Uhhhhhhh… oooookay???

**Sarah:** And I’m going to very hesitantly go sit down on Allena’s bed.

**Kharla:** Oh my gosh, I thought you said “six down”, like saying… nevermind. Ignore me. I thought she killed Allena, like oh, six down, she’s the sixth one.

**Luke:** What? What? What?

**Luke:** As you sit down, Mira, she’s just like.. staring at you with these very piercing bright green eyes. And I think it’s not like there’s any white to her eye, it’s just completely green. And she will look at you and she will say-

**Neska:** I have given you more dreams than any other person, and yet you refuse to come see me.

**Mira:** A.. are you the dream.. ascendant.. sewer… thing… person? Because I have an academic strike, and I got in trouble, and if I went down again, I would get in more trouble, and, uh, what do you want and what’s going on?

**Neska:** …. that beast. In the sewers. Awoke me from my slumber. I went to investigate where I once sat after being woken up, something that I did NOT expect to happen. So I returned to the hatch. To the altar where I once was. To find myself dead. And to smell your scent.

**Mira:** Umm… okay?

**Neska:** So I sent you messages, so that you’d come and explain yourself.

**Mira:** What do you mean find yourself dead? Because, uh, we didn’t kill anything when we were down there-

**Neska:** You did not. That was another.

**Mira:** And I put a crown on? So what… what???

**Neska:** You would have seen a large skeleton. Of a serpent.

**Mira:** Yeah?

**Neska:** That is my form. I have many such as that still remaining. The same way I have many of \*this\* remaining.

**Luke:** And she kind of gestures towards her current, frail form.

**Mira:** So are you using other people’s bodies to talk to me right now?

**Neska:** No. This is one of my own. Specially made for a purpose such as this.

**Mira:** Okay…

**Neska:** I have errands to take care of this evening and tomorrow, and this is but the first.

**Luke:** And she will stand at this point, and hold out this urn in her lap towards you, Mira, and it’s probably like a foot and a half tall? I know there’ve been a lot of urns lately, but please bear with me. This one’s about a foot and a half tall, it’s like oblong. As you inspect it.. I would have a picture that I’m going to send to you, because I love it very much. It is.. oblong, it looks to be sculpted partially. And the way that it is sculpted, there is a small face on the lid, which I will send to you.

**Ben:** Oh, that’s funny looking! That makes this a whole lot less intimidating.

**Sarah:** Oh! Cool. Interesting! Cool.

**Luke:** I just shared the photo that I am using as my inspiration for this urn to the players. So it’s this oblong urn, on the lid there’s a sculpted weird little face, and it appears to be wearing some clothing of some sort. Additional note of something that’s not in the photograph is that there seems to be little snakes just like embedded in everything?

So she will give this to you, Mira, and then she’s standing at this point and this liquid that’s in her hair and covering her body, and it’s just making her body sheen with this really weird light in the sunset. And she will say to you.

**Neska:** Keep this as a favour to me for desecrating that holy place.

**Mira:** Um, I didn’t-

**Neska:** We must speak in the sewers, at a later moment.

**Mira:** Why does it have to be in the sewers? You’re… you’re here now? You can just talk to me. Uh, did you put an arm curse on me, by the way?

**Luke:** She looks at you, and she will very much scowl at you. And she’ll say.

**Neska:** If you keep interrupting me-

**Mira:** Sorry!

**Neska:** I will rip your heart out.

**Mira:** Okay, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt you!

**Neska:** You will hold this urn until it is needed. You will heed not that liar’s words, the one who cursed your arm. And you will come visit me in the sewers.

**Mira:** Uh, okay?

**Neska:** I will not send you any more dreams. If I must visit you again, I will kill you.

**Mira:** Okay! Okay! Message received, loud and clear. When am I supposed to visit you in the sewers?

**Neska:** As soon as you are able. I have business to do, this night and the next. But after.

**Mira:** Uh.. okay? I will.. do that then. Um… thank you?

**Luke:** And she will jump out your window, very quickly! And so Mira, now your bed is covered in this like- I think you wanna inspect it, if you could, but it’s covered in this like… liquid. And even the urn itself has like these, like a little bit dripped onto it.
