Give us all the liquid substances you have in this box. On our final episode of season two, we’re fast forwarding time, finding a future as a fisherman, cutting Lynx to ribbons, bickering over Serge’s attention, experiencing diarrhea, losing the tickets, mascoting an indigenous race, being a cat about town, sallying forth, facing the music, becoming FATE, starting the Viper Youth, fleecing marks at a bar, staining the planet with the blood of humanity, and talking with the folks who made Chrono

Everything exists for this one moment. Tonight we’re fighting the Dragon God, descending to nihilism, listening to final boss music, talking to sacred ghosts at the beach, dealing with destiny, identifying true father, talking with everyone about the Final Gate, using the power of music the save the world, spewing idioms, spreading life, birthing a universe, exposing the Turnip realm, and waiting for Kid to find us.

It is your will to choose destruction. This time, I guess, we’re beating up sentient jelly, cheesing out with the Grandream, enduring a sadness wave, visiting ethereal Viper Manor, listening to the sage of reason, chatting up the Chrono Kids, ignoring sonic hints, getting blown, seeing Mothership, and mining additional unique dialogue. Chris is recreationally echoing because of a production boner, it’s not a bit. 01:06 Intro | 03:01 Terra Tower | 17:07 Pyrotor | 20:53 Belthesar | 34:30: Anemotor |

We’re forever your friends, no matter which timeline this is. Today we’re getting a letter from a dead scientist, alluding to a secret heritage, leaning into Magus lore, believing in a glam rock king, breathing underwater for antigravity technology, getting weak to red, creating an oxygen forcefield, installing alien artifacts in a maritime vessel, bending time, and looking at some final techs. There’s a dead Starky somewhere. 01:00 Intro | 02:56 Luccia’s Lucca Letter | 09:39 Janus | 19:45 Nikki

We are bound by fate to ingest copious amounts of lore. This time we’re egging time on, initializing wormholes, doing a phase metastasis, staring into the sea, installing memories, radically dreaming of a different life, personifying Fate, braining mother, registering as arbiter, unfreezing a flame, listening to a villain speech, meeting an old friend, moonwalking, dying off, resurrecting geography, and eating each other.

That means it’s time for ghost lore consultation, tracing the counter time effect, looking at anti annihilation energy, killing the police, controlling a sewer drone, inputting binary code, rhyming DNA with musical notes, learning about Lavos, and questioning the nature of fate.

With that we’re populating the island of misfit toys, dreaming of vegetables, resonating a sword, changing animations, divining dragon falls, industrializing Marbule, marrying mermaids, creating an iridescent super axe, grand slamming Janice out of the fighting pit, and getting some story-based third techs.

Listen to the planet’s woes, humans. As we consecrate our dragon destiny, we’re also wrecking creatures of legend, watching Orlha kick ass then kicking Orlha’s ass, referencing a dimensional twin, receiving a Dragon Emblem, jumping in odor holes, receiving Snakes & Orbs, discovering a man with retrograde amnesia, uncovering his problematic relationship, thirsting for blood, sating on blood, wearing plates, meeting Doreen, and obtaining the GrandDream.

You are Lynx-kinds. Well, ok. Today we’re playing the Yggdrasil’s theme, Kidding with Marcy, protecting Riddel from scum, tracking down the Spice Boys, spitting exclamation points, flashing back to adolescence, accepting friend flowers, failing to express admiration, proposing marriage, possibly potentially killing Dario, fighting our friends, making a celebrity cameo, combining magicians, bullshitting a Revive from the sewers, and canonizing Zoah as gay. We hope to see you again, sometime,

The ground here is hot. This time we’re confronting Radius with Radius, rubbing a child’s head, getting in a real time turn based fight, boarding the reflection bridge, churning resolution from flashbacks, putting everyone in this game in our party, reflecting our image on the mirror of truth, finding out Marcy is nine fucking years old, hearing Harle’s plot legends, telling space aliens about tears, solving snake statue puzzles, and finding the true bastards. The ground here has cooled down. 01:35

I have no time to be listening to your idealistic theories. 01:02 Intro | 04:00 Viper Manor Exterior | 06:25
