SPEAKER_02

Whether you're pondering your orb or listening on your scrypad, it's time for a new episode of the Heroes Helpline. Live from the town hall of Hubhaven. Here is your host, Ronald the Randy Wizard, this guy.

SPEAKER_03

Hello everyone, welcome to the Heroes Helpline. I am Ronald the Randy Wizard, and I'm here to host the new version of the Heroes Helpline. You may recognize me from the second most popular scrycast in the world, Allureing Conversations. But I'm here to help bring this show into a new light. And to do that, I got some wonderful people here. We got some cool heroes to meet. Here with me are some heroes to help us all out today. First off, we have Hargrove of Eldemere. Ooh, very popular Hargrove. Welcome!

SPEAKER_04

Well, hello, Ronald! Hello, listeners. This is Hargrove of Eldmere. I'm sure you've heard of me, a famed beast slayer, self-uh proclaimed, you know, hero of the realm, but I'll show you how true that is. Of course, I hail from Eldmere. And I'm here today to share my great experiences and help all of you see how a true hero solves their problems.

SPEAKER_03

I'm so happy to hear that, Hargrove. It's an honor to have you here. Always happy to have another celebrity of our esteem in my midst, so thank you for joining us. Of course. We also have Moonlight Butterfly.

SPEAKER_00

Why, hello, Ronald. Thank you for the introduction. Hello, all. I am Moonlight Butterfly. You may know me as Ask La Luna from my popular advice column in Mythic magazine.

SPEAKER_04

Hello, lovelies. Well, hello, Moonlight.

SPEAKER_03

Moonlight, I'm so happy to have you. I read Ask La Luna every time there's a new magazine out. It's one of my favorites. It helps keep us all kind of grounded and knowing there's people there to help us, just like this show. That's why we're so happy to have someone with your knowledge of helping people on. Now some people say you might be a neuromage. Are you a neuromage by choice, or are you just someone that feels people and their emotions?

SPEAKER_00

Oh dear. No. I'm more of an empath. And you know, 700 years of making wishes come true really helps to build up your positive energy. Now I just want to make some wishes come true today. Like you, Ronald. And the wish I made for you come true.

SPEAKER_03

That's true, you know. I it's it's still getting there. I am the second most popular scry cast. That means I'm close to becoming number one, and I probably wouldn't be there without your advice. Telling me to never give up. If you don't think something works out, try something new. Be a scrypod host, because that's what people do when they have nothing else to do in life.

SPEAKER_04

I agree. You know, Moonlight, I've gotta say, I absolutely love your work. I've read all of it. All of your work, and uh and I really love what you offer to people. It's it's illuminating.

SPEAKER_00

Oh why, thank you. And I've heard of you. It's amazing how many people you've helped. It's what I do.

SPEAKER_03

We are just a bunch of helpers tonight on here.

unknown

I hope.

SPEAKER_03

Were you guys in town last week when the gnolls were attacking? Were you did you help out with that better off?

SPEAKER_04

I was first in line, of course.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I was out there too. I was in the back lines, of course. You probably didn't see me. I was throwing spells left and right, you know, a little wacha, watch you.

SPEAKER_04

That's not exactly how I operate, but you know, um, whatever floats your boat.

SPEAKER_03

Well, that's that's great to hear. It seems the gnolls have calmed down just a bit. You never know when they're gonna attack. They've been a little pesky lately. Hopefully we get through to this episode without another knoll invasion. Ugh. On that note, it looks like our scribe pool is bubbling. Which means we have a collar on the line. Ooh, bubbles. Wait, what what's happening to the bubbles? It seems it's the bubble's turning to glass.

SPEAKER_04

What is I Oh no no no worries, I've seen this before.

SPEAKER_03

You've seen this before, I've never seen this before. Oh, can I explain what happened? What's happening?

SPEAKER_04

Oh dear. Well, you see, this is um um you know I've seen this three times in my adventure. Oh, it's when a new face is uh trying to appear.

SPEAKER_03

There is a face right there, you're right. I do see the face appearing as you said that. Wow. What?

SPEAKER_01

Hello? You did work. Oh my goodness, this is wonderful. And who are you?

SPEAKER_03

Uh who are you? I don't think you're the caller we had lined up.

SPEAKER_01

Oh no, I'm just more important than the person that you had lined up. So I thought, you know, why wait for my turn on this illustrious program that you've created when I can just use Mumsy Dearest's mirror and knock right in.

SPEAKER_03

It's okay, we can get to Matt Demon later on in the week. He'll come back at one point.

SPEAKER_00

Oh. Matt. I was looking forward to him.

SPEAKER_03

I know. We should never have time for Matt. Fortune favors the bull. We bumped him, I guess. Alright. What's your name?

SPEAKER_01

And no one's bolder than me. Hello. I'm Jackson Aquaberry of the Aquaberry Heights. Oh my god. Hubhaven's own son. Right, yes, I'm quite aware of you. Oh so nice, you know. Uh I know not a lot, not everybody gets to come up to the upper heights, the upper heights in the upper noble quarter. It's it's way up there. You gotta be able to fly to get there, you know.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I I I am aware because the one the guest- only guess I really can't get on an alluring conversation are the nobles. And I've never been able to get one of the Aquaberries because they're exclusively used on the first most popular scry cast. That's fine. Moving on. Uh, Jackson, since you called in here, that makes me able to talk to you. I'm so excited.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you so much. You know, it's because I'm I'm here to prove that I I, Jackson Aquaberry, am not like the rest of my dragon-graced, thrice-blessed family. I am a hero of the people. And uh knowing that this wonderful program is here with these wonderful heroes. Even though Hargrove is here. You know, but Moonlight's here, and I've always wanted to be Moonlight High. Hold on, hold on, welcome!

SPEAKER_04

Hostilities! What what was that? Jackson?

SPEAKER_01

Oh, uh, well. Uh, Hargrove. You know, um, I just want to say first, Ronald, I think it's so nice that you let even the provincial rabble onto your show. You're so kind and considerate to those beneath us. It's so nice of you.

SPEAKER_03

Hargrove's a really well-known hero. I don't know. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

A really well-known slayer. And uh, I'm a half dragon. Right. Aquaberries, you know, we're the the the the line of of the great water dragons of Eld, you know.

SPEAKER_03

We we know, yes. Yeah. Clearly.

SPEAKER_01

Maybe you know my auntie.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, do I know her? Well.

SPEAKER_03

You're you're barging in on us. You have to- if you're here, you do seem you have to have a problem, I presume.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm uh here because I'm really trying to break out from the mold of the Aquaberry family, you know, we're the idle, rich, you know, we're beautifully majestic dragons who sail through the sky and all of that, f far above the problems of mortal people, you know. But I really want to be down with with people, you know. But um the uh the uh uh I'm not really very good at, you know, controlling my magic in a way that doesn't cause massive amounts of collateral damage. So, you know, I wanted to talk to real heroes about how maybe one goes about doing that. Not blowing up blocks with my tsunamis of water magic.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, how wonderful! Look, how self-conscious you're being considerate of the others around you. That's an excellent first step. Oh, thank you, Moonlight. Oh my gosh, I'm being talking to Moonlight right now. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03

You know, I do have a question for you, Jackson. You're speaking of blowing up magic blocks or blocks with your magic. The the dock district recently was flooded. Is that any connection with you?

SPEAKER_01

Well, the people, uh the real people, the people on the street, the common people, needed a hero. There was a horrible, horrible infestation of sword pincer crabs. And, you know, I decided I would take it upon myself, show them that I am not above them, and uh I may have uh destroyed District 43 uh slightly. Oh dear.

SPEAKER_04

So it was you. It was you who caused all that damage.

SPEAKER_03

To be fair, he did take care of the sword pencer crabs. Yeah, there was none no crabs left. None left. Right. I took them off. But he also took care of all the buildings as well.

SPEAKER_04

That is correct. You know, I guess I guess this was a valiant victory for Jackson here, but the truth is, I think anybody could have taken on those creatures.

SPEAKER_01

You know what, Auntie Slayer? I think that if it was gonna be anybody, they would have done it. But it was me, Jackson Aquador. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03

We have a we have a bit of rivalry here, and I think the best person to help mediate this is Moonlight. This is what you're here for, right? You could easily help one to calm these two down and maybe help Jackson here with his inability to use spells right, which I have some ideas too, but let's hear what you have to say.

SPEAKER_00

I'll be gracious. Go on. Why, of course. I would love to help. Well, this reminds me of the time I had a someone write into the newspaper about how they could never get their fireball spell just right. Oh, oh, oh. So what I told them is that it was all about their components. You have to make sure you have the best of intentions and the highest quality materials. Now, Hargrove, would you say that you could have handled those sword crabs a little bit better?

SPEAKER_04

Of course I could! I could have slain them as just as the great beast slayer that I am. Absolutely. Jackson used his powers, but me? Oh, I wouldn't even have had to use any of my abilities. Just a simple sword would have taken care of the problem.

SPEAKER_00

And now, would you also say that in your illustrious career that there have been issues that you could have used someone's help with? Maybe something that your skillset was not ideal for?

SPEAKER_04

Yes, of course. Uh, of course I could have. And you know, this is where my trusty companion Tyndall comes in to help. Tyndall, um, is with me always, and Tyndall offers those words of support that I do need. Um years ago, he was cursed with a nasty invisibility spell, though, so you may not always see him with me. Oh.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, I can see. I see you, Tyndall. Hello, little guy. Hello. So, Jackson, Mr. Aquaberry, what if you had a Tindwell? What if you had someone who could help you with the problems that need a gentler touch?

SPEAKER_01

Well, I'm, you know, uh hearing you put into perspective. Maybe I did come into this call a little bit um aggressively. And maybe I'm being a little unfair to Hargrove. You know, uh Hargrove, uh, you're uh obviously uh we have had our issues with family in the past. To say the least. I I'm I I'm really impressed with what you managed to do, even though you're, you know, completely mundane, simple, boring, baseline.

SPEAKER_03

Okay now I object. Did Did I just make the connection? Hargrove, the dragon you first slew? Was that one of Jackson's relatives? Yes.

SPEAKER_05

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Now, Jackson, to be fair, that dragon was harassing a town and attacking.

SPEAKER_01

Auntie Silmaria said they had it coming.

SPEAKER_03

That's not a fair reason to attack. Dragon being slain is kind of a common thing recently. There was a dragon killed by adventurers just last week that crushed a house after it died. I was there. Oh, you were one of the adventurers, Hargrove, that I was. D oh, so you know Meryl? Um is Thurston still with you?

SPEAKER_04

Oh, uh Th Thurston Um went off on uh their own adventure.

SPEAKER_03

Of course. Thurston and Doris probably ran off together. Sorry, I got I get distracted. That's very exciting, having so much connections.

SPEAKER_01

Do you hear this, Hubhaven? He's practically a serial killer and he loses his teammates.

SPEAKER_04

Okay, that I will not take this slander from you, Jackson.

SPEAKER_03

We're gonna give these two some time to cool off while we take a break. We'll be right back. I think they need a little time out in the corner. So we'll be right back, everyone. Is your wand feeling limp? Does it not pack the punch it used to? Are your spells impotent? Well, come on down to Wesley's Wand Emborium. We got just the wand for you. We got small wands, we got large wands, we got oddly shaped wands, we will find the wand for you, or my name's not Wesley. Whether you're starting your journey as an apprentice or you're the Archmage of the Wandering Tower, we got a wand for you. Low on coin? No worries. We will burn. Jeez, belts, wolf teeth, we will take anything and everything. Try our new Mi Wandies made from locally sourced beachwood. You won't find a more comfortable or affordable wand inside Hubhaven. Now available in various patterns and colors. Or get your favorite mascot's image branded into it, like the Roost Red Hooter. Use code WISCOUNT for 10% off your first purchase. Stop by Wesley's Wand and for him on the corner of 67th and Emerald Street in the Magic District. And remember, it's not the Wesley if it's not a Wesley. Welcome back, everyone. They've had some time to cool off for a bit, so I think we need to get more into the bare bones of why they're both so feisty. Now, Jackson, you you have magic that's uncontrolled. The easiest solution is just go to a wizard school or a magic school. Like I did.

SPEAKER_01

Um, well, now now Ronald, I'm very impressed because obviously, as a poor person, you would have had to have amazing grades in order to get the scholarship, you would need to go to like a big magic school.

SPEAKER_03

Well, okay, I I did go to Roose Ridge Academy, which is pretty damn impressive, okay. And I graduated in the middle of my class. More than just a party school. I learned real magic there.

unknown

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01

I I'm a half dragon, and I inherited all of my magic from Mumsy Dearest. Lumpsy, Mumsy, love you. So I don't need to go to magic school. That's ridiculous. Dragons don't go to university. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Well now, Jackson. Now, as another being made of pure magic and was created during the primordial soup that was the beginning of the universe, I know that there is a certain amount of instinct when it comes to our magical abilities. However, there are those that believe that dragons are the primordial representation of pure destruction. So wouldn't being unable to control your powers be a direct sort of logical line there? And wouldn't some training be helpful? Yes, training would be helpful. Training.

SPEAKER_01

But school they they make you read so many books there. And um you know Jackson?

SPEAKER_00

Do you know how to read?

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Jackson. I know how to read it. Jackson? I just recently read all of Liliana Eastwood's latest fashion zine, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Jackson, that's mostly drawings, okay.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, and my show comes on the the Skycrest as as well as written words, so. You know, a lot of my fans view me that way. It's okay. It's okay.

SPEAKER_04

From my point of view, I don't always believe that education is absolutely necessary. Yes, studying the books is great, but I believe that true learning comes from experience alone.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I like that. Jackson, why don't we have you cast a small spell? Uh don't worry, I'll all contain it if it gets out of control.

SPEAKER_01

I'm sure you can do Moonlight.

SPEAKER_03

Not showing up a bubble as a learned man.

SPEAKER_01

Go ahead. Okay, no, don't don't worry. I'm gonna I'm gonna cast a one that I I cast a lot. It always entertains the dragonlings. None of them get hurt. Of course, they all are entirely immune to both cold and water damage. But you know what? Let's I'll show you anyways. This is gonna be great. Give it a try. Just a small little water spell. Okay. Fury of the world!

unknown

Oh!

SPEAKER_00

Oh my goodness, Hargrove!

SPEAKER_04

Oh my great heavens! Are you alright?

SPEAKER_00

How did that go? What have you done, Jackson? There was a tiny squirt of water that just came out of the mirror. It got right on Hargrove's chest. Yeah. I do not appreciate this.

SPEAKER_04

I did not.

SPEAKER_03

I expected more from you. That's okay. Sometimes it's just a little squirt that comes out, no big deal.

SPEAKER_01

It mostly got contained to my mom's dressing room, and now I'm gonna clean it up a little bit.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, you squirted into your mom's dressing room. Lovely, lovely. How lovely.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, are you right over there? Ah, the mirror didn't transfer the power of the spell. I see. Jackson, you don't have any training. Hargrove, you must have some sort of training to have become this powerful. What training do you have?

SPEAKER_04

Of course, of course. You know, I like to suggest that I don't have a normal training regiment compared to most other heroes or beast slayers out there. Um, I don't really stay inside. Instead, I choose to travel the realms to take notice of any dangers going around and to directly slay these enemies that are standing in the way. Now, through this experience, over the years of of taking on all of these great beasts, I've gotten so much training that, you know, I truly believe that there's no better beast slayer than Hargrove of Eldmir.

SPEAKER_03

Right, and the stories would agree with that, but what was your start? You had to have done some sort of fighting school or or brawling.

SPEAKER_04

Of course, of course. It all started when I was very young. You know, I I, of course, had grew up in the town of Eldmere, one of our oldest here around. I saw all of the commoders passing through, going on their trade routes, and and and I saw so many enemies and and beasts and vandals that would take all of these goods, and I knew that something had to be done about it. So, you know, my training started from a very, very young age.

SPEAKER_03

Right. But you didn't tell us any type of training you did.

SPEAKER_04

You Oh, I apologize. I just got uh a little bit full of myself there. It happens from time to time.

SPEAKER_03

It's impressive. It's impressive, but still, I'm just curious, like, me personally, as I said, I went to Roost Ridge Roost Ridge Academy. You did? I don't recall you at uh Roost Ridge Academy.

SPEAKER_04

I it was more of the the specialty education. So um I'm not sure you were quite there.

SPEAKER_03

So maybe some of the m wizards who use swords and stuff like that. I didn't take any of those classes. Oh. Maybe. Oh, okay, then you must know the Roost Ridge Academy motto. Maybe we say it together.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Um I've always wanted to hear about me. Go, go, go.

SPEAKER_03

Here we go, alright. Okay, we'll try it again.

SPEAKER_04

Sorry, I'm a little rusty.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. I I don't think you're saying the right thing. So you know, you know, you know the mascots, the hooters.

SPEAKER_04

Of course.

SPEAKER_03

You know, it's one of the giant owls from Roost Vale. So there you go. Hoot. Together. Together. Okay, yeah, you were just going a little premature. No, it's starting with that. Yeah, you're going backwards. Understandable.

SPEAKER_04

You know, I gotta be honest with you. I've done so much fighting in my days that the motto of Roost Ridge is really the last thing on my mind.

SPEAKER_03

To be fair, Roost Ridge is a bit of a party school. Let's be real.

SPEAKER_04

So And I had my flare shape. It's understandable. You party party. Alright. I should go to Roost Ridge.

SPEAKER_03

Because it's a party school or to train.

SPEAKER_00

I think that's a wonderful idea. You should go out. Oh. Do you know anyone at Roost Ridge? Yeah. She knows someone.

SPEAKER_03

Oh. She knows someone. Awesome. Very good. Well, that's um okay, we had a breakthrough today. My goodness. Roost Ridge. What? So you're you're a water specialty mage, right? What do you want to do with life then? What do you want to do?

SPEAKER_01

Like you wanna Oh, oh, I you know, I just wanna say that everyone always says that the Aquabarries are, you know, dragons who are too cool to talk to anybody, that all we do is go from our mansion to the ocean, and that we just fly over everyone, we never talk to anybody. And I just want to prove to everyone that I'm different from that, that I don't need my mom's money and power and fame to get by, that I can do it myself. I even have already some nice side jobs, in fact, that I was thinking about taking on. Like what? You know, uh uh Wesley's Wand Emporium over on 67th Street in the Magic District always has the best wands.

SPEAKER_04

Agreed, I love that place.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah. Do you? And I just want to say that Wesley's wands are the best wands.

SPEAKER_03

If you need a wand, Wesley's is good. Do you is Wesley a good wand, Moonlight?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, yes, 20 gold for me, yes. Yeah, is this an ad promotion? What did you just say? Yeah, is did it what was that? You just said Jackson?

SPEAKER_03

Isn't your family rich? Why do you need 20 gold?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04

Um, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Um uh the water spell I just cast. Uh it's not the first time.

SPEAKER_04

Uh uh, Jac Jackson. R remind me of your problem again.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Let's get to the base of it. That's why I owe my mom so much money now. You're in debt. Oh. Trust me, I've been there. I tried to I tried to train on my own. Oh, don't worry, Hargove, you're from Eldmere, I know you've been there. Um I've been trying to train on my own, and I guess I did kind of destroy the West Wing, and some of my mom's horde uh maybe fell into the ocean. Okay. I was trying to aim it at the poor, but I missed.

SPEAKER_03

Wait, you're trying to aim your magic at the poor?

SPEAKER_01

My mom's horde when I washed it out of the West Wing. Oh, oh, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, I thought you were trying to kill the poor for a second. That makes sense.

SPEAKER_01

I was trying to donate to the poor. I just failed.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. Oh my gosh. It's so nice to be recognized.

SPEAKER_04

Just this once.

SPEAKER_00

Well, you know, there's a many great things you could do for the the less fortunate than you that has less to do with your port. Have you considered using your water magic to make it rain on hot days or filling canals?

SPEAKER_01

Filling canals?

SPEAKER_00

It'd be a good way to get in touch with the common people. Oh my god, I never thought about this before. This is amazing. Yes, you should come out of your den and walk amongst the normal people without using your magic to um, you know, uh level sections of the city. Of course.

SPEAKER_04

And and to me, that is what the true meaning of a hero is.

SPEAKER_03

To help the poor, of course. Of course.

SPEAKER_00

Have we mentioned that we started a Patreon? Click the link down below. To support us.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Thank you. It helps a lot. You'll go directly to the code.

SPEAKER_03

You'll get the spin-off of luring connections. Yeah, so that that's actually a very good point, Moonlight. Have you considered maybe helping the poor with your magic?

SPEAKER_00

Make it pour on the poor.

SPEAKER_04

That could be your motto. I'm gonna make a pour on the poor. I'm gonna make a poor on the poor. That's a great one, I have to admit.

SPEAKER_01

Wow, okay, it's my new model. Alright. Yeah!

SPEAKER_03

But I I would say not going to school is still a good idea to learn how to make it pour on the poor if you're still not sure.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's now moonlight has illuminated everything for me, you know, it's fine.

SPEAKER_03

Damn it, there goes 20 gold.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, well, nice. I get paid if I recruit people. This is why I've never gotten along with you, Jackson. I was holding it in for for this long, and what?

unknown

What?

SPEAKER_03

What is it, Hargrove?

SPEAKER_04

You just you are always so full of yourself, and not to mention, not to mention our shared past, there's just no way that I could ever get over that.

SPEAKER_03

No. No. Not like that, personality-wise. You seem to be always in positions that seem very unlikely.

SPEAKER_04

I am the complete opposite of Jackson Aquaberry. Never compare me to that name.

SPEAKER_01

And I would never go anywhere near Eldmere. And also Hargrove is mean.

SPEAKER_00

Oh dear.

SPEAKER_03

Moonlight, what would you do to suggest to these two to try to become closer to each other and be friends?

SPEAKER_00

Ah, yes. Well, during my time working for Make Some Wishes Incorporated, I had quite a few difficult cases. So, in the case of struggling couple or a sibling rivalry, all I would need to do is wave my wand a one, a two, a three, and knock them unconscious. And then what? And yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, um, normally I would just leave. Oh, I guess they would stop bickering if they were unconscious.

SPEAKER_04

What what just what just happened to me?

SPEAKER_03

Oh s oh I Oh did you wave your wand? Oh my god. Hargrove did just pass out for a second.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, I I I did for a second.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

Oh dear. You were susceptible to the spell and I wasn't.

SPEAKER_03

Moonlight was so close and Jack's on is so far away from us, it didn't really affect him. Sure, that's why. Intent and magic is important, so. Well, I don't know Jackson, you seem to have a path down. I don't know if there's more we can help you with. I mean, our best advice is go to school and learn. Not mine. Hargrove, you're wrong, I'm gonna say. Just that's fine, you can be wrong, in my opinion. Uh there's nothing wrong with that. Uh we just have different opinions. I respect you. I but you're just as full as yourself as Jackson is.

SPEAKER_01

I have a bit of an ego too, but it's Hargrove. Ronald has a scholarship.

SPEAKER_03

Yes, I did get a scholarship due to my magic abilities in Charm Magic Lure Illusion. Yes, I You're welcome. Fine. Yes, thank you, Moonlight. That was part of your wish you granted is to give me a little boost in that category. Hello. Maybe Moonlight, can you maybe give a wish to these two to help?

SPEAKER_00

Of course. What's in your deepest desires? What's in the bottom of your heart?

SPEAKER_01

I've always wanted a unicorn.

SPEAKER_00

Oh okay. What about you, Hargruff?

SPEAKER_04

I want to be of help in any case to the the common folk. I want to be the person that people run to in the face of danger. Yeah, I don't need that. I already that already happens to me all the time.

SPEAKER_03

Okay. J just know, these wishes come with a price, okay? And not just gold. I'm still owing Moonlight.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Are you prepared to pay the cost? Whatever it takes. Hold on a second.

SPEAKER_02

Mom, how much is a unicorn?

unknown

Oh.

SPEAKER_02

I just said it wasn't gold.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, fine. There's always one.

SPEAKER_03

What would the price be, Moonlight?

SPEAKER_00

Moon Knight Butterfly was played by William Gunn.

A harsh world that the group will navigate in pursuit of powerful fallen stars. Join along to follow their struggles, stresses, and successes. Hargrove of Eldnere was played by Kai Kelly, just a guy who likes improv and laughing with his friends. Also co-host of Chambers of the Occult, a podcast with the perfect blend of true crime and paranormal. You can find the Natural Seven and Chambers of the Occult wherever you get your podcast.
