It's April 1st, and while everyone else is joking around, we've been stuck with a very serious scheduling conflict. There's only one thing to do: another Talky Episode.

The Resurrectionists are back from the dead in a big way: one extra-long episode featuring a score so exciting we could only stand to do it all in one go! We left our antiheroes with a cliffhanger: their sewer-travelling rivals, the Capillariat, have finally declared open war after a long history of violent exchanges! With the gang's gambling den overrun, they'll have to mount a counterattack quickly or lose a valuable resource! Can they do it without spilling enough blood to make the law's retribution even worse? Can the rookie Ira talk their way through a deadly situation? Can Thalia finally put her magical research to full use? Can Blondie solve problems without creating ghosts? Can Flint keep himself unexploded? Find out all that and more in this spectacular return to Blades in the Dark!

In this episode... oooh, I don't want to spoil it! But rest assured you'll see some fierce cyborg wrestling rivalries, romance with varying degrees of requital, surprise arrivals galore, and one huge celebrity cameo! So don't delay, act now, supplies are running out...

After last episode's little ultraviolent intermission, it's time to step back and get a feel for who these underground cyborg wrestlers REALLY are. For example, did you know that Krunk the Barbarian is more comfortable in graphic tees than armor made out of car tires? Or that Wage Slave has a real estate business? Or that Clout Strife's real name is... Clout Strife? And what about all those other wrestlers on the card? Listen on to learn more about these unique individuals, and then hear them beat each other up.

In the futuristic dystopia of 1999, while the masses are placated by the spectacle of professional wrestling, there exists a turbulent underground of freelance operatives who break the law and risk their necks in search of fortune. Tonight, a fresh team of these "runners" will take on the forces of... well, professional wrestling. It's Saturn running a variant of our favorite one-stat system, and it's up to us to save their own WWW character!

Content warning: This turns into kind of a bloodbath, though most of it isn't graphic.

Alright chummers, flick on your holo-vids (or, if you're a Premium subscriber, wink your left eye to activate your implanted display) for the latest episode of Underground Cyborg Wrestling! We've got a flashbang show for you tonight, because some of our best talent--Wage Slave, Fashbasher, Krunk the Barbarian, and Clout Strife--are in the squared circle, and almost all of them have bad blood with each other!

We're going back to the future in more ways than one! The year is 1999, and our technologically-advanced society is plagued by injustice and corruption. The masses need a distraction from their lives of corporate-mandated drudgery... and there's no better solution than watching a bunch of beefed-up caricatures pretend to hurt each other! With Levi guiding the way, Owen, Saturn, Snapper, and Fern will assemble a roster of cyberpunk combatants with enough gimmicks, grudges, and deeply silly names to get the whole audience chanting.

Our first adventure in a galaxy far, far away comes to a head in the shadowy slave-pits of Hell, where our heroes are closer than ever to freeing themselves... and to being captured by the Baron's security! Everyone will need to contribute their unique skills--Manwe Ba's smooth salesmanship, Jaci's flashy heroism, and Jay's brutal cunning--to come out ahead!

Having ditched their tour guide and made contact with other would-be escapees, our rough-and-tumble heroes are out to break the literal grip that Hell has on its people and, more importantly, our heroes' ship. Can they make their way to Transit without drawing undue attention to themselves? Of course not, but hopefully they can still get what they're after. Jaci does some drifting, Jay runs into a colleague, and Manwe Ba makes an important detour.

Our ragtag band of space explorers have discovered a highly developed, prosperous world with extremely welcoming inhabitants, but something feels a little off... could it be that there's something BAD about the planet Hell? Well, no matter what secrets this big red tourist trap holds, we'll unearth them and find some way to turn it all into profit.
