Night Veil city government. This tree

as the trial of all time, because night,

again so the city council and these secret police are both declining to get too close to him
as a result, for the first time ever, we will have a fair and
open trial. He read fail in front of a jury of high peers, speaking of which,
night veil invites any dragons to come down to the courthouse to serve as his peers. Failing that

They are very dangerous. These boxes each individually.
Curated venom Box is literally a box of toxic and aggressive creatures. That's what they are
It's not even a secure box, it's a hastily,
constructed cardboard box. Often the creatures escape beef
or you can open the venom box. The only thing
worse than opening a box to fine venomous creatures inside is opening up
ox that is supposed to have venomous creatures inside and instead finding nothing then
looking around your home feeling is that a tickle on your toe
You were imagining that right.
To get a free sample just do nothing or try to prevent it actively, trying to keep the venom
box out. It doesn't matter whatever
you do. You are subscribed to venom box every month.

Presumably she did not just appear there:

I'm sorry saying the plan on the radio would make it tricky to successfully perform it without being caught

We will make sure Janis gets the registry of middle school crushes, so she can destroy it. We just will never be able to tell you how.
And now the answer to last week's audio spot. The differences query is, of course, the two
audio scenes we set for you were quite similar. Perhaps even
and at an oral glance identical, but there were eight specific differences. Did you spot them all? Let's find out here where the differences,
one? The shadow of the howling man is smiling in one scene but missing.
The other two
There are shrouded figures in the grass and both scenes and they look identical, but in the future

while in the second seen they are listening, three o

The cow has all of its blood. In the first see six,
the howling man is howling in both scenes. Seven,
we don't know why he is howling eight, maybe it's because of his shadow nine. What does the second man have to do with anything? Ten? The child is absent from both scenes.
How did you do if you missed any

Brilliant plan is to brilliant not to share. I mean
It doesn't even matter that much. I guess, because the plan is all

returned listeners to a heist complete. This was not a heist of action at all
It was not a heist of diamond tipped, drills or advanced electronics know this was a heist of words: heist of fiction,
It was a heist of storytelling and it was magnificent further
no hacking by Josie and her friends.
No mirror held by Abbe, no absurd mathematical formula devised by Carlos and knows Steve. Thank God
no Steve, there was none of that, Carlo

I created their danger with my words and I delivered that
you're too you that was the entire

it was me here at this microphone telling you a story, a story
re about a successful entrance to the well protected vault
of the whole of public record Kurds and in
spawns to my story: the city com,
so rushed to the records Hall, flung open the vault door, deactivated the sensors and alarms and charged in to Capture Stephen Carlos. But those two were, of course not there to be captured. The only person who was there

she waited and when they had passed, she followed quietly after them
and while they searched roaring-

she is from its shelf raw.

It was, despite all of my misleading words, a two person heist, an uncle who can

ever green leaves of the Joshua trees. I dont me.
You know why she wanted it destroyed, although perhaps I could guess, but I won't go
I only know that she needed my help, and so I hope that before everything,
before even humans. They were stories a creature.
Fire conjuring a world with nothing but its voice and the listeners imagination and now me,
