Let's Play 159: Mine (with Laura and Sabra) Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

In which the cohosts reveal a lot of TMI. Be warned! As Sam and Charles walk home, Sam asks Charles if he really feels compelled by her father. Charles shows vulnerability and reflects on his feelings of failing Mr. Young. Unsurprisingly, Sam tries to comfort him and assures him that she won't let her father steamroll Charles.

She notices Charles' discomfort with her physicality, and talks about how she will remember to keep their agreement. Charles tries to explain himself, and eventually decides he can only show her how he really feels. Things get.. handsy.

We end with the two in bed together, and a glimpse into Charles' heart as we see it fully thawed and latching onto Sams' hearts: with chains; the same chain that snake themselves around Sam as Charles thinks, "Mine."

Purple Hyacinth 110: Oppressive Orders (with Fwoot and Joy) Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

A mysterious figure speaks to Queen Lisbeth, sharing information about a recent party affecting the Queen's treaty with Cerren. The mysterious figure turns out to be none other than our fabulous Neyra Elana Darcy, who then wonders if Redcliff's ball will proceed.

Prince Arthur runs down the hall, bearing a beautiful blue butterfly. He wonders why it doesn't move, but Darcy understands: it seeks its freedom.

Meanwhile, the royal cabinet convenes to discuss the latest turn of events. Queen Lisbeth wants to place strict measures on the poorer districts, and Dakan wants to parlay with the Phantom Scythe.

The king makes a decision, for once, and unfortunately, it isn't a good one.

Midnight Poppy Land 94: Why Didn't You Tell Me? (with Emily, Raluca, Seazar) Mar 19, 2022

Show notes

Quincy watches Tora and Poppy argue and correctly diagnoses their tension. However, Poppy figures something out from his phrasing, and Tora FINALLY reveals everything to her - including that yes, Gil has the notebook. He wants to hide her away, but Poppy isn't too sure.

Monday, Poppy goes back to work hoping for normalcy, only to have Erdene and Jacob tell her that Gil has gone missing after taking all company funds BUT Tora found them a new job by calling in a mafia favor. And also please don't be mad that they didn't tell her she was in danger.

Just as Poppy is resolving never to talk to Tora again, the ever ebullient Quincy enters, followed by a matchy-matchy Tora... with a new haircut.

Purple Hyacinth 109: Canny Cover (with Bundin and Crystal) Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

We see Lauren being treated by Kieran's PS doctor (who is NOT Dylan!) and see a flashback of Lauren throwing the bomb and Kieran grabbing her into a room. Lauren wakes up in Kieran's bed (!) with Kieran slumped over in a chair, watching her (!!). Upon hearing the date, Lauren hyperventilates, worried about her family, friends, and job. Panicked, she tells Kieran that Kym knows that she is Lune. Kieran informs he that he called Tristan and he ALREADY KNEW, and that together they fabricated a car accident.

Kieran is gentle and tender as well as sarcastic, and Lauren is moved. She is astonished when she realizes that Kieran went to work yesterday. She tries to call Kym, but Kym is at mandatory therapy.

Show notes

We open with Sam and Umed gazing at a prone and very embarrassed Charles, who complains about the American health system and generally acts like a big baby.

Umed takes the hint and leaves, not without some parting jibes that let us know he is *definitely* onto something.

When alone, Charles tries to deflect attention and insists he is fine, but Sam doesn't let him get away with it. She calls him out on his fear, and Charles admits to it, telling her about its source. Sam almost ruins his fencing hobby, but makes up for it with her sweet affection.

We talk about Charles' need for control and Sam's appreciation of his vulnerability.

Midnight Poppy Land 93: Momma's Boy (with Darla, Patty, and Saucy) Mar 12, 2022

Show notes

Tora and Poppy come into the house despite seeing that the TV is on. Turns out the intruder is Quincy. They discuss the news, where the Nine Daggers leader was arrested after a leaked video. While Tora and Poppy argue, Quincy receives a text message from his mother.

We switch to Mr. and Mrs. Balthuman, sitting on a yacht on their respective phones, completely ignoring each other. Mrs. Balthuman flashes back to when she arrived at the airport with no one to greet her. She calls Smithy, who tells her about the Nine Daggers clan leader arrest and how Vincent is looking for the notebook. Quincy bursts in, running to unite with his very sentimental Mommy. We stan a good son!

We hear about the clan matriarch, whose health is declining, and get more insight into the unloving relationship between Quincy's parents.

Back on the ship, we learn that Vincent plays Candy Crush and has principles when it comes to playing games. Also, that their marriage is on display for the press to see.

Back in Tora's apartment, we learn that Quincy arranged for his parents to be away for a few days to guard them. We also learn of an embarrassing... encounter that Tora had with Quincy's mom. :D

Purple Hyacinth 108 Analysis: Strained Survivors (with Bundin and Emma) Mar 08, 2022

Show notes

Lauren and Kieran struggle through the debris, headed towards the tunnel. Kieran knows how to navigate them, and they head to his apartment, struggling mightily. Miraculously, they reach it, and crash into his apartment by the door.

Kieran reaches shakily for the phone to call his Phantom Scythe doctor, a decision Lauren questions, while simultaneously making questionable decisions herself by wanting to go home so no one apprehends her.

Their proximity to both each other and death's door opens them up, and they have a heart to heart. Lauren asks Kieran why the Purple Hyacinth (not him!) never uses a gun and why he used one earlier. His response is truthful but there is something omitted.

She also asks him what he was going to say when they were stuck in the basement, thinking they were going to die. Kieran responds sweetly. We wonder if there is more to the story.

Lauren responds to all this by gracelessly passing out.
