Oh my god! Oh my god, is this real? Drop the head already! OH MY GOD Happening! Is real. SNEP! Here! SOFAR OF THE STRIGOMA! They're all real. They are. Joy, uh, you know. Floppy! Thank me later! Okay. We gotta get the hell! Hell outta here! ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА ДИНАМИЧНАЯ МУЗЫКА

See exhibit holes! This way! Stay away, you sprigala scum, or I'll stab you with my self-wittle spear! Amen. JK? Shit that you've got like murder. We're all gonna die.We're all gonna die.Joy, are we gonna die? I don't know, Erin. I mean yes, eventually we're all totally gonna die. It's not the time, Joy! blocking these exits too. Bye! Down here. What, Blake? You Literally couldn't have picked a sketchier hallway. Feels like twins in American girl outfits are about to pop out.

Oh, I'm sorry, does this always scare you more than the bloodbath we just witnessed out there? In that head. Come with the body. This is better. Look! An exit! I got it. Okay, look at all that blood. Is he dead? Joy, check his pulse. What? Why me? Cause you like Screamo or whatever now. Light and death should be right in your wheelhouse. What makes you think I like Screamo? Your hair I'm not sure. Got an idea. How about you check his pulse, Dunny? I helped. Decapitated Joy. It just happened!

He's alive! Person? Susie, what's this land you're doing? Volunteer. Hello? Volunteer? Hmm. If you can hear me, my name is Erin. You've been in an accident, most likely monster related. Great. He's not dead. Can we run for our lives now? Um guy. Are you? Suggesting we leave him to die? Actually, I'm suggesting we leave him to live. It's called being optimistic Susu ever heard of it? Ever spelt it? Guys. Stupid is a stupid dug. What? I think the volunteer is Run! Get in here! Get in here! Quick!

hand and throw it against the door. Time. Yeah. Amen.

We have waited for the perfect opportunity. We have struck those who have dismissed us exactly when we should. Amen. Look at us! Longer will we be mocked by another bloodthirsty heart. No longer will we have to take their rather opaque production design in exposition-heavy dialogue. Aside from Lord Kent's portrayal of myself, which is rather good, the fallacious depiction of our people as a whole will no longer go unbridled. Not yet. Our work has only just begun.

There remain rodents with an arm midst. Altyazı M.K. EXTERMINE And when all that is left within these walls are their cold, empty hospitals. We will begin to write our Oh One where we conquer this disgusting land of cleave, which shouldn't take long, and then

I think the guy out there's finally gone. Dang it, my phone's dead. Anyone have service? Nope. Mm-hmm. Searching for service must have drained our batteries. Someone had to call for help at some point, right? You think our families know what's going on? How long have we been in this janitor's closet? Eleven minutes. Can you tell me how long we've been in the i in this closet? I mean Susu just told you. Yeah. So what are we supposed to do? Sit here until someone saves us?

Or until those things figure out we're in here. We just need to survive the next dinosaur. Sus did you say nine hours? Until dawn. Exactly. Gergalas are half vampire, half gargoyle, which means they hate the sun like in the movies. So as long as we outlast them until dawn and get outside. Ah wow. I just I just heard how ridiculous. Am I actually talking about Stragalas like they're living breathing things and not fictional monsters from the books and or Is this real?

That severed head was very real. Shut up, Joy. So what we're we're we're supposed to risk our lives assuming these Stragalas are just like the ones from Bloodthirsty Heart. Think about it. The Strogalas look exactly like the Agnes Lepa sketches in the first BTA. They even sound just like she described. Kalipa is like cuckoo bananas, isn't she? So she once claimed in an interview that she boned a strogala during her college days abroad. What? As disturbing as that image may be. Very disturbing.

Still on the fence. It doesn't seem beyond the realm of possibility anymore. I can't believe this is happening. In Cleveland, Russia, Florida, sure, but Cleveland, Ohio. And why? Why now? You heard Zafaro. The movie franchise pissed them off. They made the Stragalas out to be weak as shit, getting one-upped by Sheamus in every single installment. Zapharos knew everyone involved would be here at the convention and couldn't wait to get his revenge. This is it.

Do you guys think we're the only ones left? I know I'm quote unquote Screamo and therefore lack empathy, but doesn't it feel wrong to just sit here and do nothing? What could we possibly do, Joy? They're monsters with wings and fangs. We're high school seniors with ADD and Invisalign. I'm with Joy. We need a plan. What would doctor Seamus Van Helsing?

I took a knife away from a guy once that was intent on killing me. I choked up on the knife and I tattooed a circle around his heart. Lasting circle. And that was a very intimate act. And he said, here is a list of all Aaron Brotherhood dropouts. Go through this list, send a letter to each one of these MFing rats, and ask them if you could come and interview them for me. He has. If you believe anything he tells you, you're screwing up.

You want to send me to Michael Thompson, who bucked the whole A B, dropped out, and testified against them? And you think I'm gonna go there and convince him to recant? My mom told me, Eric, you're kind of a borderline con person most of your life too, but you got con. By a con man. Memory. A new podcast series from Love and Radio. Search for Blood Memory wherever you get your podcast.

It's been over an hour. What are our objects? Well Blake's still of the do. The option that doesn't get us killed. Susu, you say we should get to the roof. Aaron says we should get to a working phone. I still think we can convince a Stracala to find. And Denny, hilarious Monster Mash. That's where Denny is. People are dying, I'm making jokes. What? What is life anymore? Well, back to square one. Yeah, Blake. Could you pinch me?

About a week ago, I had a nightmare where I showed up to homecoming with copy. Oh, I don't know if you've heard, but I'm I'm I'm sorta dating Kyle White now. Uh-huh. Kyle and I walked into homecoming, but when I went to take off my I I mean Kyle's varsity jacket. I realized I wasn't wearing a top, and everybody at the dance stopped what they were doing, pointed out my Okay. you know, and started laughing. You got a weird birthmark or something? No joy. Infected belly button beers.

Ew. I don't have a weird birthmark or an infected belly button or or a third nipple either, okay? I think Blanga's at their nipple. Anyway, it was mortifying. But then I pinched myself and I woke. I wish this could be another one of those nightmares. At least then I'd know how to get Ouch, Aaron. You asked me to pinch you. Remember the last Halloween all Eighth grade. We convinced our parents we were old enough to go to the haunted corn maze, remember, Flynn?

Uh corn maize, I Nope, not not ringing any bells. We were all dressed up as our go to characters. Denny, Joy, and I were Stragalas, you were doctor Sheamus, and Susie you were Zavaros, remember? Um, no, I... No, I don't... Really? I just remember how scared Joy was. I wasn't the one who dropped my hot chocolate and bolted through one of the walls of corn the moment we heard fire. It was a sh Shortcut. Sure, Danny. Those footsteps belong to a toddler dressed up. What?

And not even Iron Man. Tony Stark. He had a painted goatee and transition lenses. I was just trying to find Susu and Blake after they ran off together. I don't think we... Oh yeah, we're not going to be able to do that. Found another short. Together.

Do you hear that? Where is it coming from? Up here! My name is Allison, and I'm with CMC Security. Allison. Miss Allison, girl, I am twenty six years old and you are not a child. Sorry, force of habit. I I came by to let you ladies know that you're laughing. Save just pleasant. You're loud as hell, vent lady. 'Cause I could hear your whole convo from the CCTV room. Whole convo? You Blake? Yeah. You and Susu got issues, girl.

Since y'all are the only living people I can see on a security camera not covered in blood, I figured I should at least try to help y'all out of here before those goth bitches figure out what Where you're at? She're coming! And you hope what I'm saying. Hell up and climb on up here quick or else they're gonna shave you down like t Warma! Who's first? Hurry! Give me your hand! Yes. I can't read! I jumping higher! Oh, jump higher. What a great fucking idea! I'll just jump higher!

Use that mop bucket. To stand on. Uh okay. Two. Oh my phone! I need my phone! Oh, never mind! Go go go! Oh my god, oh my god! Just keep crying, Eileen. Just keep crawling. Hello. Leak. Man! Wait! What? But why are we stopping? The hell is that? No, Aaron! Go joy. Master play! Just go! Ah! Oh no! The dogma just got my leg! Give me your hand! Uh I can't! I can't! Oh shit! Shit! Look a bitch is fighting me! Oh my god! Ew! Ew! It's so gross! Help yours, Susan! Come on! No! Get to the control room!

Give me your hand! No! No! Oh! Tell my story!

It's official. I'm not sexual. Bye. Get all these screens. It looks like there are cameras at every door, room, hallway, and the entire perimeter inside and out. Oh shit, a land light. Does it work? Yes! Call 911! Nine one one, where's your emergency? Yes, we're stuck at the Cleveland Memorial Coliseum and we need all the police SWAT, FBI, MIB Very funny. What's funny? Sweetheart. Crank. I don't know what a vaudivar is, but yes. Not buying it. What's happening, Erin? They don't believe me.

No, I can do Hello? Oh great. A friend. Listen, we're telling you the truth. Stragalas led by their evil leader, Zafaros, have taken over the Bloodthirsty Hearts Convention and are killing everybody. It's only a matter of time before they start terrorizing the city, and who knows? Eventually? Probably yes. Okay. Okay. Pen and paper. I need a pen and paper. Got it!

Denny, you gonna use the phone or not? I don't know their numbers. You don't know your own parents' cell phone numbers? Not by heart? I never had to. I just tap their names on my cell and it dials it for me. So check your phone. I told You Sus, my phone. Jet Move. Who the hell remembers a phone number nowadays?

Oh no. Check out these monitors. Which? These ones. That's live footage from the exterior cameras. What susu? So what? Look! What don't you see? I don't see anything. Exactly, Joy.
