It took a bit, but David and Dead Palette have recovered enough from 1999's blatant plagiarism to discuss it, but they're not alone! Special guest Nick Nocturne of Night Mind joins them to talk Creepypasta, alantutorial and the art of storytelling.

David and Dead Palette take a break from longer Creepypasta to get back to the roots of the genre, each offering a genuinely short story to discuss.

Finale? Is the story over? It is for David and Dead Palette after they stumble across something in the most recent update to 1999 - something so bizarre that it changes their opinion about the entire story thus far.

Story itself begins at 41:04; the passage that changes everything starts at 1:36:52, although we encourage you to listen to the whole thing for context.
