## Events of Note

* Nagisa's letter talks about Algiz, as well as the Flat Cap Man
* Sam talks to voice in the Crystal Ball

## Summary

Sam begins the episode by addressing the situation regarding Madame Marie's disappearance. Sam reassures the audience that, despite the slight oddities and lack of communication, these trips were normal for Marie. He also addresses people's discomfort with Sam referring to Marie by her title. They explain that she was uncomfortable with maternal nicknames, but they did call her 'M' at times.

Sam then talks about some of the more negative threads on the forums, those expressing frustration towards Sam's hosting, both in gentle and furious fashions. Sam talks about the portable radio that Kitty and Anna bought him for Christmas one year, which they had to hide from Marie.

They wonder aloud whether or not Marie will be mad when she gets back. Sam has a single moment of doubt, wondering if she will return at all, before quashing it, and firmly requesting that listeners stop theorising about Marie on the forums.

Sam then moves onto a letter that they received in the P.O. box that week. It's a letter from Nagisa, who seems to be an old friend of Marie's. They seem discontent with a plan of Marie's regarding the containment of a great amount of arcane power. They talk about the rune Algiz, and they assume that Marie is not talking in hypotheticals. Nagisa reminisces on their first meeting with Marie, seeing her with the crystal ball when she was young and not yet world renowned. They confess that they know that the crystal ball is more than what it initially seems. They counsel Marie against her current plans, and warn her of the Man in the Flat Cap and Shell Suit, who preys on those who are desperate. They ask that they use the aid of Rhytidia Delphus and Oliver Boleyn, as well as the Loyal Assistants, to right whatever has been done.,

Sam finds many curious things from this letter, and speculates over its implications. He talks about the concept of trapping arcane power. As they discuss this, the cloth covering the Crystal Ball slips and Sam looks into it. They have a conversation with a being that echoes them initially, tells Sam that he is dead, and then repeats the words 'The door is open'. At this, the Crystal Ball falls off the table, but is undamaged.

This tires Sam, making him feel 'woozy'. They ask the listeners for any more information about the Flat Cap Man, and bids everyone goodnight.

## Events of Note

* Sam is able to change the colour of the swirls inside the crystal ball.
* Sam reads a book about a girl called Tara.

## Summary

Sam begins the episode by welcoming the listeners into the New Year, and explaining how to cast a circle of good intent. He then goes on to talk about New Years Resolutions, and how Marie used to tell listeners whether their resolutions were worth doing or not. Sam acknowledges that they don't have the psychic ability to do that, but shares some of the responses anyway. Sam also shares his own resolution, which is to improve his tarot reading skills. He mentions that he is able to affect the colour of the crystal ball, which he believes is a good sign.

They talk about how they have been trying to organise the studio, as it was particularly messy when they first went down there. He mentions a letter from Laura, who was asking about keepsakes and organisation, and more specifically, whether or not to keep a strange book. She included some of the torn out pages in her letter. Sam begins to read them, telling a story about a girl called Tara. Tara interacts with a odd book that seems blank initially, but changes as she reads. She reads about a creature that is hunting a girl, and after several familiar actions, Tara realises that the book is following the real life actions of her and her roommate. She is incredibly disturbed by this, but cannot seem to put the book down.

The episode ends abruptly at the end of Tara's story, and Sam does not sign off.

## Summary

Sam begins the segment by telling the listeners about his week, and the bouquets that Oliver has been teaching them to arrange. They then go into recounting what Show Caller Emily has figured out about the coding of the forums, and how it is just as arcane as everything else in Sam's life.

Sam goes on to talk about a leaflet that had been uploaded to the forums, with the words "Heed the Scarcemongers" on it. Sam concludes from the other details on the leaflet that it must be related to the Man in the Flat Cap. He tells the listeners about their plans to go to the place to scout it out.

Anna suddenly bursts in, telling Sam that going to the Scarcemongers' place is a terrible idea. Sam reveals that he intends to the broadcast the visit, and Anna is even more horrified. She does, however, give Sam a button microphone so that they can broadcast subtly. The two then move on to talking about Anna's fiance, Guy, and the weird vibes he's been giving recently. Sam eventually sends Anna on her way, and bids the listeners goodnight with the intent to see them next when he is in York.

## Events of Note

* Kitty goes into the Impossible House, and almost gets stuck there

## Summary

Sam begins the episode by telling the listeners about their most recent visit to the Hatfield Karpos. Sam's original intention was to ask about the strange tarot deck, but he became distracted when Oliver offered to make Sam a bouquet of flowers. Sam relays the details of each of the flowers used in the bouquet.

They then read out an anonymous letter left in the P.O. box that week. It takes about a new house, describing the strange rooms. The reading is interrupted by the phone ringing, and Sam picks up the phone to Kitty.

She seems confused about the time, but tells Sam that she is in the house that they (the Enfield Siblings) grew up in. Sam is confused, but the two of them put it down to his memory loss. They then talk about the house that Kitty has been investigating. Kitty describes it as 'off', and continues to describe the house until she gets to Sam's old bedroom. She states that the window from Sam's old bedroom is no longer there. She theorises that the window that manifested in Sam's bedroom above the studio, is the same as the one from the old house, though she doesn't understand how or why.

Sam asks exactly where Kitty is, and she responds that she doesn't know. She begins to sound disoriented, trying to get out of the house and seemingly forgetting that she ever went in. Sam convinces her to return to the studio, promising to play the audio of the phone call to prove that she had already gone into the house.

After she hangs up, Sam confesses that they have no memory of the house, and decides to look in the Little Book of Big Magic to see if there is anything relevant. He finds an entry titled 'the Impossible House', which has an annotation from Madame Marie, noting that 'a house itself can be a thing that shivers'. Sam ponders this sentiment for a moment, before there is a loud and unexplained bang and a cat appears in the studio. Sam accepts the cat's presence and bids the listeners goodbye.

Salim the Weather Guy

## **History**

Before the disappearance of Marie, Salim ran a bi-weekly slot on the Spirit Box Radio, in which he discussed popular topics from the forums.

It is assumed that they haven't been seen since Marie's disappearance, however several augury forecasts appear in the studio/house over the months following. They are mostly on small folded pieces of paper and are found in increasingly odd places.

## **Skills and Abilities**

Salim is an augur which, broadly speaking, is someone who divines from the behaviours and appearances of birds.

## Summary

Sam begins the episode by telling the listeners about going dress shopping with Anna. Sam manages to remember her fiancé's name (because he wrote it down), and then worries aloud about Anna seeming anxious about her relationship.

Sam makes himself somewhat upset over the ghosts and the Impossible House. They then ask the cards what the Impossible House is, and draw the skull in a crown of flowers. He notes that he has drawn it before, when asking about the Impossible Children and for one of the New Year tarot draws. They conclude that the grinning face card represents the Man in the Flat Cap.

Sam then talks about the sigil that Marie had sent Nagisa. He explains the history of Algiz, and how the symbol has been stolen by neo-nazis who wish to misappropriate its original intention. Fuck Nazis.

Sam then reads the letter from Nagisa which talks about the sigil. They explain that arcanists rarely ask for help from on another, They go on to talk about their initial knowledge of Marie, and how despite Marie writing weekly, the two were not friends. Nagisa ends the letter with the firm request that Sam does not write again.

Sam speculates on the meaning of Nagisa's words, and the sigil itself. He asks many questions aloud to the listeners, about the Man in the Flat Cap, Marie's actions, and the nature of Arcanism. He thanks the listeners for being there, and bids everyone goodnight.

Musket

The Musket is a weapon that does 75 damage per shot. However it does have damage drop off due to range (very long range), but this damage drop off is less impactful than the one the Flintlock Pistol has.

When first swapped to, the gun's area of aim will be larger causing more chance to miss. Over time the circle will shrink making the shot more and more accurate.

An empty Musket requires loading with ammunition to work.

The Musket has a durability system, requiring repair after 6 shots. It can be fully repaired for free by taking the weapon to a workbench and selecting the repair button at the top of the menu.

After reaching 0% durability the gun begins to have around a 100% chance of misfiring, consuming the ammunition and durability, locking you into a short animation, but not firing the shot.

Muskets can be found in the armory.
Karl

Karl is a user on the forums, who interacts with Sam several times over the series.

## **Appearances**

* SBR 1.26: Enigma, Karl points out on the forums that the way of find the Flat Cap Man (‘If you seek him, but do not search, then you’ll find him’), sounds like a case of surrendering agency.
* SBR 1.29: Over and Over, Karl is mentioned amongst some users that reminded Sam of the letter that Madame Marie received from Nagisa about the Algiz formation.
* SBR 1.30: Eudemonism, Karl types a response to Sam in real time, and tells them that he can't delete the tread on the forum about the Flat Cap Man as it wasn't created by Sam or Madame Marie, it was created by the users in response to Sam's questions.
* SBR 1.39: Lament, Karl aids with Sam's group séance.

## **Trivia**

## Events of Note

* Sam finds an arcane seeing glass and uses it with the True Arcanist Tarot
* Sam asks the deck about the Man in the Flat Cap

## Summary

The segment begins with Eggroll being a bastard. Sam talks about the theories proffered by some of the faithful listeners regarding the journals that he found. Eggroll continues to be a menace, and Sam finds an engraved wooden box. Inside is a strange wooden cylinder, identified by a recently awoken Oliver as a sort of arcane seeing glass. Oliver gets Sam to spread the True Arcanist Tarot out on the table, and look at the Unrelenting card through the glass. Sam is surprised that they can see Oliver in the image of the heart on the card.

Oliver goes on to talk about the history of tarot, specifically the True Arcanist Tarot, and as he finishes his explanation, Sam decides to ask the deck what Scourge is. Oliver begins to scold him, but is interrupted by the phone ringing. Sam answers to hear Kitty on the other end of the line. She tells them that she's leaving the country to conduct some investigations on the Inconvenient Sins. She mentions rumours of arcanists gathering together, something that Oliver finds surprising.

After Kitty hangs up, Oliver decides to go get ice cream, and Sam continues looking at the cards with the glass. Revel is incredibly helpful in this process. Sam asks the cards what the journals are, and pulls a blank card, an Echo card, and the Grinning Face. Sam then asks the deck what the Man in the Flat Cap is, and realises that the Grinning Face card is representative of him.

Shaken, Sam asks the faithful listeners if it's possible to set up a program so that something is always searching for the Flat Cap Man, and then he bids the listeners goodnight.

## Events of Note

* Sam denies the idea of something bad happening to Madame Marie

## Summary

Sam's first broadcast as a temporary host of the Advice and Community Segment. He reassures listeners that although Madame Marie and the Loyal Assistants are gone, he's sure that there is a reasonable explanation, or that it is mostly likely an elaborate practical joke. Sam reads a letter supposedly left behind by the Loyal Assistants, and states that he tried to phone the hospitals to ask about Marie, but had no luck.

Sam reads the augury forecast and answers an anonymous letter with advice that Marie had left. He then further debunks the idea that Marie was in danger during the last episode and moves swiftly onto reminding the Listeners to schedule in their communing times to keep the lines clear.

He finds a business card with the same design as the one sent with Marie's 'imminent loss' bouquet. The note has the message 'They are coming' and is signed 'O', which Sam presumes stands for Oliver. After this, Sam lightly confesses his lack of spiritual ability, and signs off for the night.

Rhytidia Delphus ‘the Bog Witch’

## **Personality**

As a bog witch, Rhytidia does not have much patience for people who live in urban areas. She shows disdain when Sam tries to categorise her magic within the lines of Arcanism.

She regularly comes off as quite rude and abrasive.

## **History**

Rhytidia lives in Dorset. She seems to have known Marie for several years.

There is no implication of how old Rhytidia is, though given that she knew of Anna and Kitty when they were children, it can be assumed that she is roughly the same age as Madame Marie, or older.

Her first appearance in the show was in Episode 5, when Sam played a voicemail she left for Madame Marie. In the voice message, Rhytidia makes a spooky sounding prediction about a "message from the beast", brought by "a man in red, from a red satchel" that will result in "all [she] call home will be cast into darkness". It was later revealed that the prophecy was about an overdue electricity bill that would result in the power in Sam's house being cut.

## **Skills** **and** **Abilities**

Rhytidia listens to the mud and hears the predictions it makes. Sam once attempts to call what Rhytidia does 'divination', but she dismisses him. They state that they do not assume that the mud sings only for them. She has spent years developing a relationship with the mud in order to better understand it and its 'song'.

## **Relationships**

Rhytidia seems to have been friends with Marie, as the latter went to Rhytidia for help morre than once.

She also knows of Oliver Boleyn, the hedge witch, though nothing more is known of their acquaintance.

They are of the opinion that, as children, Anna was the only one of the Enfield siblings that showed attention to detail. She thinks that Sam and Kitty 'never ask the difficult questions'.

For reasons yet unknown, Rhytidia is deathly afraid of Scourge, and they recognised his voice after only a few words.

## **Trivia**

* In order to reach Rhytidia's voice, voice actor Ripley makes 'weh', waluigi-esque sounds before recording.
* Rhytidia's name comes from a genus of moss called '*rhytidiadelphus*'. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, meaning it can be found across most of the world in appropriate habitats. This is somewhat ironic, given Rhytidia's dislike of all things cosmopolitan.

* Forum user Karl is also aroace. This has been neither confirmed nor denied by Pippin (placed in 'dubious canon'), but we (the wiki people) think it's true.

They assume that it made to contain Sam's power, and are annoyed that many of the questions lead to Scourge.

Sam debates Scourge's existence for a second before realising that the first time they knew of him was through the messages on the Recording Machine. Sam tries to get it to wake up and fails initially, until they draw a chalk pentagram around it and say a Latin incantation. The Recording Machine turns on, and Sam asks after Scourge. The Recording Machine plays a message where Scourge denies being a Major Arcana to Marie and then disappears. Marie then realises that Mr Boleyn is a Major Arcana.

Sam is, as usual, very confused, and asks several questions aloud. He concludes that neither the Man in the Flat Cap nor Scourge are omnipresent or omniscient. The Recording Machine corrects Sam when they say that the lack of omniscience rules out godhood, and then sasses them regarding the "being set on fire during a séance" incident.

Sam then asks her to recount any prophecies about him. The Recording Machine finds 1289 prophecies and Sam asks them to be sent to the forums, requesting that the listeners take a look to see if they can be sorted. He then goes on to wax lyrical about Oliver for a bit, expressing his fear at whether or not Sam really knows Oliver. At that, Sam concludes the segment, and bids everyone a good night.

Show-Caller Emily

## **History**

When phoning into the show, Emily's recollection and timeline does not seem to match up logically. She calls in to the show in May, but says that she'd only found the show last week, and the first episode she'd listened to had aired in December. Given that she ends the call by telling Sam that she visited the Impossible House, this warping of the timeline makes sense.

## Events of Note

* Sam talks about the new tarot deck that he found, and voices his confusion at the cards
* Sam reads about the Impossible Children

## Summary

Sam begins the segment by reassuring the listeners that he's fine, despite the abrupt ending of the last episode. He mentions that nosebleeds are a fairly normal occurrence for them, as well as the absence seizures, which Sam takes medication for.

They apologise for not doing any tarot readings, and explain that Anna took away the tarot deck and Kitty hid the Crystal Ball away. Sam has, however, found another tarot deck, though it is very different to what he is used to, with some metal cards and strange major arcana, and when they tried to draw a card, they kept pulling different cards, each one blank.

Sam then tells the story of Jinghua, who reconnected with her childhood friend Ellen when Jinghua moved back to the UK. The two of them decided to take up tennis every Tuesday, and Jinghua would drive to pick Ellen up. One of the days, Jinghua thought she saw a child in the window of the Ellen's house, though when she brought it up, Ellen snapped that she doesn't have any children. Jinghua discussed Ellen with her other childhood friends, and they simply said that after Ellen's younger brother's death, they had grown apart.

One day, Ellen wasn't answered the door when Jinghua turned up for tennis. Jinghua walked around the back, being very familiar with the house since childhood, only to find Ellen's brother in the garden. He was exactly as Jinghua remembered him from when she first moved away - five years old, and alive. Jinghua ran away and posted about the incident on the forums, though she hasn't been heard from since her last post, which stated that she intended to return to Ellen's house.

Sam brings this message up, as he found a letter during the week that he had given to Marie quite some time ago. Marie had left the letter sealed, but Sam opened it. It talks about Maria Gillespie, who was a seven year old girl that has been seven since 1975. Sam calls both Maria and Ellen's brother 'impossible children', though they aren't sure whether they are dangerous or not. He asks the listeners for any relevant information on the impossible children, and bids them goodnight.

Edit of Flat Cap Man and his Dog

## **Personality**

Not much is known about the Flat Cap Man's actual personality, but he's definitely very shady.

## **Physical Appearance**

He is described as a white man, who wears a flat cap and a shell suit.

His dog is described as having no eyes and being small and scrawny. It also has multiple tails. All descriptions are reminiscent of a terrier.

## **History**

It's not quite clear how long he's been around, but it sure is a long time.

## **Skills and Abilities**

He seems to have been present through many different eras and decades, though whether this is a case of him travelling through time, or just being immortal, is unknown.

He also seems capable of creating Major and Minor Arcana, and bequeathing arcane power to people.

## **Relationships**

He has a dog, described as being small, having no eyes and several tails. Not much is known about the dog, but they are most likely a very good dog.

He has created at least five Major Arcana: Indi, Ingra, Bliss, Scourge, and Oliver. The first four seem to work quite happily for him, killing and claiming people. Oliver, on the other hand, seems to have become disillusioned and no longer supports him, despite still being in his service.

Little Book of Big Magic

## Description

The Little Book of Big Magic (LBBM) is an arcane tome with information of various avenues of arcanism. In her letter in SBR 1.24, Marie calls it 'a guide to greatness'.

Sam's copy of LBBM (originally Marie's copy, and likely her grandmother's before her) is missing several pages, roughly 50 of them, including:

* 12 - 15, discussing the rune Algiz
* 310 - 131, discussing Equivalence in Casting and Summoning
* 404 - 410, discussing Emotional Rebate
* A section about prophecies
* The last section of the book, about ghosts and their mechanics

## History

Sam estimates his copy of the book to be at least a hundred years old, and it belonged to Marie before it became theirs.
Nagisa

## **History**

Nagisa lives in the mountains, and although it is not specified which mountain range they live in, they say in their letter that correspondence has to "travel across several seas" to reach the UK, so it can be assumed that Nagisa does not live in Europe.

## Skills and Abilities

Nagisa appears to be an arcanist, though their specialities beyond that are unknown.

## **Relationships**

Nagisa is a friend of Madame Marie and has known her for just under thirty years. The two seemed to be good enough friends that Nagisa could be honest with Marie, as is shown in their letter in SBR 1.19.

* SBR 1.29: Over and Over (mentioned)

SBR 1.6: O Holey Holey Night

> *"The Christmas traditions of the Enfield household are regaled, along with a letter about a house with some...issues..."*

## Events of Note

* Sam lets slip that Madame Marie is his mother.
* Sam reads a telegram that seems far too long, regarding the Impossible House.
* Sam leaves to investigate some knocking, and comes back to find a small present on the desk, signed only from "Dad". The present contains The Rose.

## Summary

Sam beings the segment wishing the listeners a merry Christmas, and reminding them to salt their doors against malicious spirits.

They explain that they have usually been alone for recent Christmases, and they had hoped to see Kitty or Anna, but had had no contact with either. He briefly recounts his hazy memories of early Christmases, but trails off.

Sam then talks about how he has been sleeping in the studio again. The second window in their room rattles and lets in the cold, and they can't bring themself to go into Marie's room. He sounds vaguely distraught by this, but catches himself, changing topic and reassuring the listeners that he will be fine.

He then reads out the well-wishes from various listeners, including a telegram from Georgie. Georgie writes that he has encountered a similar house to the Impossible House being investigated by Kitty. Despite Georgie having clear memories of the house, his mother and father stated that there had never been a house there. He talks about the assumed imaginary friend who lived in the house, and how he visited the house because it felt like the right time. He entered the house and could hear Spirit Box Radio being broadcast. The telegram ends with him asking Sam to come home, which leaves Sam very shaken. They remark that the telegram didn't seem that long when they picked it up, only to find that it is now just a piece of blank card.

Sam moves swiftly on and reads a Christmas card from Beth. He then accidentally reveals that Madame Marie is his mother. They are incredibly embarrassed by this and they take a moment to scream into a pillow.

Sam's speculates on what his sisters will be doing for Christmas, before hearing knocking at the door. He puts the Spirit Box on before he leaves to investigate. When he returns, there is a small gift box on his desk, containing a rose. The present has a tag that reads "Sam, Augury forecast: Un-Merry Christmas. Love from Dad'. Sam signs off, slightly bewildered.
