**[00:07] Remlin**
So, what do you want me to draw and where?
**[00:10] Rudo**
Hey!
**[00:11] Rudo**
Hey!
**[00:12] Rudo**
What's with the facepaint?!
**[00:18] Rudo**
What's so funny?!
**[00:21] Rudo**
Hey! You listening to me?!
**[00:21] Enjin**
I'm starting to get a handle on what
kind of person ends up as the spellcaster.
**[00:24] Remling**
Sorry, sorry...
**[00:25] Rudo**
Stop laughing! Stop laughing, damn it!
**[00:26] Enjin**
New one feels a lot like the old one.
**[00:28] Mayor**
Their whimsy is unstoppable.
**[00:34] Remlin**
Let's start over. I'm Remlin.
**[00:36] Remlin**
As the new spellcaster, I hope to p—
**[00:39] Remlin**
I mean, work well with you!
**[00:41] Rudo**
Did you almost say "play"?
**[00:42] Enjin**
How many spellcasters
have there been, anyway?
**[00:44] Mayor**
I believe Remlin would be the sixth.
**[00:47] Enjin**
You *believe*?
**[00:49] Mayor**
They tell their histories through art,
not the written word.
**[00:56] Remlin**
So, hey, there's this thing I noticed.
**[00:59] Remlin**
When I draw on a person, the power doesn't
work right if I don't have their consent.
**[01:05] Remlin**
Outside of town, I usually get permission
before I draw on the walls,
**[01:08] Remlin**
so it's probably the same thing.
**[01:10] Remlin**
I figure if you need permission
to draw on walls and objects,
**[01:13] Remlin**
it goes double for people, right?
**[01:17] Enjin**
That's how it was with Gob, yeah.
**[01:19] Enjin**
Do spellcasters get the same
abilities as their predecessors?
**[01:22] Mayor**
I've heard their powers have
historically been similar.
**[01:26] Mayor**
But you sometimes see subtle differences.
**[01:29] Mayor**
Everyone has their own way of using things,
their own experiences and ideas.
**[01:34] Mayor**
Makes sense that everyone's ability
would take a different shape,
**[01:39] Mayor**
but if it's the same each generation,
I guess it's the vital instrument that's spec—
**[01:42] Remlin**
Nah, that's not it.
**[01:44] Remlin**
It turns out the same 'cause we all bring
a real sense of play to our drawing.
**[01:48] Remlin**
We draw balloons in a stressful scene
or flowers in a combat scene...
**[01:52] Remlin**
We sneak all kinds of meaning
into our drawings to play around.
**[02:00] Remlin**
"Freedom and play"...
**[02:01] Remlin**
I think those are the factors Gob and
those before him were chosen for.
**[02:05] Remlin**
I'll probably choose someone like that too.
**[02:08] Remlin**
I love it!
**[02:10] Enjin**
*Yeah, I don't get it.*
**[02:12] Enjin**
So what it comes down to is,
**[02:14] Enjin**
you end up with similar powers
because you think the same way?
**[02:18] Remlin**
We don't think the same way!
**[02:20] Remlin**
We all draw whatever
*we* want to in the moment!
**[02:23] Remlin**
What we end up drawing is different, too!
**[02:29] Mayor**
Lay off, Enjin.
**[02:31] Mayor**
If you try to go too deep
into conversation with an artist,
**[02:33] Mayor**
you'll just end up more confused.
**[02:34] Rudo**
*Enjin's bothered by it.*
**[02:39] Remlin**
You want me to draw "reduce damage
from one major hit" on your body, right?
**[02:44] Remlin**
Coming right up!
**[02:51] Enjin**
H-H-H-Hey!
**[02:54] Enjin**
You're tattooing it?!
**[02:55] Mayor**
Remlin. Take this serious—
**[02:59] Mayor**
Wait, what?
**[03:00] Mayor**
You turned the instrument into a brush before.
**[03:04] Mayor**
What's with that shape?
**[03:06] Remlin**
I was just thinking it'd make a cool tattoo,
and it turned into this.
**[03:09] Remlin**
It's good to have options, right?
**[03:12] Enjin**
Hey, you kidding me?
**[03:14] Enjin**
Not only can you cast spells,
you can also create any tool you want?!
**[03:19] Enjin**
You're terrifying!
**[03:23] Remlin**
Fine, fine. No tattoos.
**[03:26] Remlin**
But if I just draw it on,
it'll wash off in water, right?
**[03:29] Remlin**
So let's do this right.
**[03:35] Remlin**
I can scribb—I mean,
cast a spell on your body, right?
**[03:41] Rudo**
*This kid never stops.*
**[03:43] Enjin**
This kid's kinda growing on me.
**[03:53] Enjin**
Thanks for the help. Mr. Mayor, Remlin.
**[03:56] Mayor**
Well, I'm sorry for the runaround.
**[04:00] Mayor**
I think drawing on nine people
really took a toll on the kid.
**[04:05] Enjin**
You did good work for a first time.
**[04:08] Enjin**
Thanks a lot.
**[04:20] Man B**
What's going on here, Mr. Mayor?!
**[04:22] Man B**
You can't pass the pen to some no-name brat!
**[04:24] Man A**
It should go to someone more worthy!
**[04:27] Rudo**
*The guys who couldn't come in.*
**[04:29] Man B**
I won the Perfect Art Contest!
**[04:34] Man B**
Tons of people were counting on me
to become the new spellcaster.
**[04:38] Man B**
That's why I came all the way out here,
and this is how you treat me?!
**[04:42] Man B**
Canvas Town's really gone downhill!
**[04:44] Man A**
Anyway, I'm a better art—
**[04:47] Mayor**
Shut up!
**[04:49] Mayor**
Your shitty attitude is the reason
you can't even enter the city!
**[04:53] Mayor**
We don't need posers who call themselves
artists but only care about fame!
**[04:58] Mayor**
Get that through your heads and make tracks!
**[05:01] Mayor**
No one wants to look at your ugly faces!
**[05:07] Enjin**
Man, the mayor's always scary when he's mad.
**[05:17] Enjin**
See you guys.
**[05:19] Enjin**
Don't get so mad that
you pop a blood vessel, okay?
**[05:22] Mayor**
Sorry.
**[05:24] Remlin**
Just stay away from the gate, Mr. Mayor.
**[05:28] Rudo**
Thanks. I'm glad I saw all that.
**[05:31] Rudo**
I'll be back.
**[05:34] Remlin**
I'll come to draw at Cleaner HQ someday too!
**[05:39] Remlin**
Bye-bee!
**[05:50] Rudo**
Are we going back to Cleaner HQ?
**[05:53] Enjin**
Yeah. To get your full-face.
**[05:58] Enjin**
But first, Rudo...
**[06:00] Enjin**
Let's pick you up a treat.
**[06:04] Rudo**
A treat?
**[06:11] Rudo**
H-Hey...
**[06:13] Rudo**
You sure?
**[06:15] Enjin**
Never hurts to be prepared,
so pick out a few things that sing to you.
**[06:20] Enjin**
We're far from the polluted zones,
so no trash beasts here.
**[06:24] Enjin**
Take some time and pick out what you—
**[06:33] Rudo**
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!
**[06:35] Rudo**
Awesome!
**[06:36] Enjin**
He really loves this stuff, huh?
**[08:30] August**
It's done!
**[08:31] August**
Hell yeah, it's done!
**[08:33] August**
It's done! I did it!
**[08:36] August**
I freaking did it!
**[08:38] Rudo**
Who's that?
**[08:39] Semiu**
Hey, you're here. Welcome back.
**[08:43] Semiu**
We got word about what
happened in Canvas Town.
**[08:47] Semiu**
I'm sorry to hear about—
**[08:48] August**
Hey there!
**[08:50] August**
Your mask's ready!
**[08:53] Enjin**
Oh, that guy.
**[08:56] Enjin**
That's August. He makes the Cleaners' gear.
**[09:01] Enjin**
Looks like he finished your full-face, Rudo.
**[09:04] August**
Yeah! It's freaking finished!
**[09:07] August**
It came out perfect, man!
**[09:09] August**
We didn't have time to meet up, but I got
his measurements while he was asleep,
**[09:13] August**
so it should just fit!
**[09:15] August**
And Enjin and Semiu told me
about his personality,
**[09:19] August**
so I made some choices
to max out the cool factor!
**[09:22] Rudo**
Wait a minute.
**[09:23] Rudo**
He got my measurements...
while I was asleep?
**[09:26] August**
Lucky me that you didn't lock your room!
**[09:30] Rudo**
You asshole!
**[09:32] Enjin**
Sphereites don't lock their doors?
**[09:34] Riyo**
Man, and Rudo doesn't sleep that much.
**[09:37] Riyo**
It takes real skill to
catch him when he's asleep!
**[09:40] Zanka**
Riyo, how do you know that?
**[09:42] Eishia**
Big brother!
**[09:44] August**
Hey, li'l sis!
**[09:46] Eishia**
You need to stop doing this!
**[09:48] Eishia**
Stop causing trouble for everyone!
**[09:52] August**
Huh? What was that?!
**[09:54] Eishia**
And please keep your voice down.
**[09:55] August**
What was that?!
**[09:56] Eishia**
Please!
**[09:57] August**
Eishia, sweetie! You here?
**[09:58] Rudo**
*They're siblings?*
**[10:00] Eishia**
I am!
**[10:00] August**
Where are you? Hey!
**[10:01] Eishia**
I'm right here!
**[10:11] Rudo**
Man. What's with Ground people
shouting all the time?
**[10:16] Enjin/Zanka**
*You're one to talk.*
**[10:18] Enjin**
Right. Rudo.
**[10:20] Enjin**
Take off your choker a minute.
**[10:31] Rudo**
Wh-What are you—
**[10:35] Enjin**
Go on. Hold out the choker.
**[10:44] Enjin**
"Choker." It's like a communicator...
**[10:48] Enjin**
Kind of like a phone.
**[10:49] Enjin**
You can talk through it to people
you've traded blood with.
**[10:53] Rudo**
Is that why Ground people all wear
these things around your necks?
**[10:58] Riyo**
And trading blood gives it a real
friends-to-the-end feel, right?
**[11:01] Follo**
Contact us any time, Rudo.
**[11:04] Rudo**
Sure...
**[11:07] Rudo**
*What tech is this?*
**[11:09] Rudo**
*Wait. It's not another Giver power, is it?*
**[11:13] Enjin**
Anyway...
**[11:16] Enjin**
We'll be taking some of *your* blood too!
**[11:25] Enjin**
At last, we're off to No Man's Land
to find the lady!
**[11:29] Enjin**
That said...
**[11:31] Enjin**
You don't think you brought
a little too much trash?
**[11:34] Enjin**
We'll have to walk at some point.
**[11:36] Enjin**
Just take what you can carry.
**[11:39] Rudo**
It's all backups.
**[11:41] Enjin**
It'll be your second time
in a No Man's Land, I guess.
**[11:45] Enjin**
The trouble's going to start
the second we arrive.
**[11:48] Enjin**
Better be ready.
**[12:02] Enjin**
Penta, the desert No Man's Land.
**[12:07] Enjin**
Now that's exciting.

**[12:20] Tamsy**
Sand? No...
**[12:23] Tamsy**
Waste matter worn down to dust?
**[12:34] Enjin**
And here they come.
**[12:37] Enjin**
Witness reports say the woman
should live further in.
**[12:42] Enjin**
Make sure you keep up, Rudo.
**[12:46] Rudo**
That's the plan.
**[12:50] Enjin**
Use those gloves—3R—to beat them down,
**[12:58] Enjin**
then we'll go find the woman.
**[13:03] Delmon**
Let's start with some warm-ups!
**[13:05] Tamsy**
This might be fun.
**[13:13] (Flashback) August**
Get it?!
**[13:15] (Flashback) August**
In a No Man's Land, first,
you put on the half-mask!
**[13:19] (Flashback) August**
You connect it to your oxygen tank!
**[13:23] (Flashback) August**
You put the mask on overtop and...
**[13:26] (Flashback) August**
You got yourself a full-face!
***SIGN*** The Cleaning Begins
**[13:47] Jabber**
Penta, the desert No Man's Land?
**[13:50] Jabber**
Is that where it is, boss?
**[13:53] Jabber**
The other one...
**[13:59] Zodyl**
You'll see when you go.
**[14:06] Tomme**
Okay, let's get this down.
**[14:10] Tomme**
First trash beast encountered upon
arrival in No Man's Land Penta.
**[14:13] Tomme**
Shape was "scorpion-like."
**[14:15] Tomme**
Appearance and thickness of exoskeleton
suggest attacks like a scorpion.
**[14:20] Tomme**
Pincer and tail attacks presumed...
**[14:24] Tomme**
There.
**[15:01] Zanka**
Hey, I didn't do it.
**[15:07] Zanka**
Sheesh, keep it down.
**[16:16] Enjin**
Octashredder!
**[16:41] Enjin**
Missed one, huh?
**[16:44] Enjin**
Up to you now.
***SIGN*** "Asshole"
**[17:52] Enjin**
Lots of those scorpion trash beasts.
**[17:56] Enjin**
For them to come out on the surface suggests
**[17:58] Enjin**
a whole lot of trash buried
beneath this sand-like stuff.
**[18:06] Gris**
Tomme!
**[18:07] Gris**
Your record-keeping duties are important,
but do them after combat's over!
**[18:11] Gris**
That was so dangerous!
**[18:13] Tomme**
I know I should,
**[18:14] Tomme**
but if I'd waited, I'd probably forget.
**[18:19] Tomme**
Besides, your job here in No-Man's Land
is to protect the record-keeper, right?
**[18:24] Tomme**
I trust you guys.
**[18:25] Gris**
Still, have *some* self-preservation instinct!
**[18:46] Rudo**
*Is there something there?*
**[18:49] Delmon**
Hey, there you are!
**[18:55] Rudo**
Delmon! Tamsy!
**[18:57] Tamsy**
That kicked up a lot of sand, eh?
**[18:59] Tamsy**
We almost lost sight of you.
**[19:00] Delmon**
You did good back there, Rudo!
**[19:04] Delmon**
I only wish I could've seen you in action!
**[19:08] Tamsy**
I'm sure we will soon enough.
**[19:10] Delmon**
Yeah, but still!
**[19:12] Rudo**
I'm glad. I managed to be
a little useful this time.
**[19:12] Tamsy**
Well, next time, try to stay close...
**[19:28] Amo**
Yes... of course that's how it is...
**[19:35] Amo**
You came here to see Amo, didn't you?
**[19:44] Tamsy**
How long...
**[19:47] Tamsy**
How long has that woman been there?
**[19:50] Delmon**
I know it's hard to see around here,
but I couldn't sense her either!
**[19:56] Rudo**
Wait. Could she be...
**[19:59] Enjin**
Think she's the one we're looking for?
**[20:03] Zanka**
Nah, no way it's that easy.
**[20:06] Enjin**
She doesn't seem hostile to me, at least.
**[20:09] Enjin**
Maybe we should ask for directions?
**[20:12] Riyo**
Hey!
**[20:14] Riyo**
You the one who's seen people coming
and going from the Sphere and the Ground?!
**[20:18] Zanka**
Show some manners!
**[20:22] Amo**
Oh, yes, indeed!
**[20:24] Riyo**
See? She's the woman we've been looking for!
**[20:29] Enjin**
Well... Guess we got lucky.
**[20:33] Enjin**
Let's talk to her and get go—
**[20:35] Amo**
Excuse me.
**[20:37] Amo**
It stinks out here.
It's not good for the lungs.
**[20:41] Amo**
Perhaps any talking should
be done at Amo's house?
**[20:45] Amo**
Masks won't be needed there.
**[20:49] Zanka**
Why didn't she bring a mask, then?
**[20:51] Amo**
It's such a short walk!
**[20:54] Amo**
Okay? Okay?
**[20:56] Riyo**
Enjin.
**[20:57] Riyo**
Why don't I go and ask her what's what?
**[21:02] Enjin**
Nah, we should all go.
**[21:04] Enjin**
Even if she's plotting something,
I'd prefer to talk it out.
**[21:10] Enjin**
If we end up in a fight anyway,
I'll take her on.
**[21:14] Riyo**
Hey, you sure?
**[21:16] Enjin**
I can hold back the best.
**[21:57] Rudo**
No way...
**[22:02] Rudo**
How...
