BROADCAST DETAILS
VESPER “Okay. Okay okay okay. Knives, Lvl42, The Hellevator, tonight. I've had four coffees and one premonition. Let's go.”
HEX “I see two outs. I see fire. I see... concession prices. Grim. All of it grim.”
HEX “Ah. Blessing. So the dream WAS about tonight. Interesting. Don't worry about which part.”
VESPER “Any visions for the folks at home?”
HEX “Tell the folks at home to check their smoke detectors.”
VESPER “That's just good advice, actually.”
HEX “Birthday Card Margaret is glowing tonight. Not a metaphor. Someone should check on that. “The Loop Error”, everyone.”
VESPER “The Lvl42 section is already chanting “EVERYONE SAW THAT” as the 2nd uhoh begins. Beautiful. Concerning. Both.”
HEX “I predicted this. I want that on the record.”
VESPER “The Knives section is in mid-season form already. Case in point: The fans know things about this stadium that the stadium authority won't confirm.”
HEX “2 all through 4. I've seen how this breaks. I keep seeing it. Look at them — transcendent — they almost see it.”
VESPER “The scoreboard is taking it personally.”
VESPER “Hold on, I'm being handed a— okay. A whistle was heard from beneath the stadium. Sure. Yes. Moving on.”
HEX “Yes. This is the part I saw.”
HEX “One run in it, Knives ahead. The 7th uhoh smells like a hinge. Things turn on hinges.”
VESPER “Someone in section 8 keeps yelling 'Jeems buffered again.'”
HEX “I dreamed about this booth. There was a fifth chair.”
VESPER “There are four chairs, Hex.”
HEX “There are four chairs *now*.”
HEX “It ends 9–5, exactly as the dream showed me. Soul of the game: Phyllis Looms, 3-for-6. The dream also showed next week. No further comment.”
VESPER “We're done here. The field isn't — but we are. Goodnight, everyone.”
HEX “Until the next vision. Goodnight.”
