Jesper (30s):Hello, I'm Jesper
Autumn (31s):And I'm Autumn.
Jesper (33s):This episode 141 of the am writing fantasy podcast. And are you ready for another top 10 episode today on him?
Autumn (43s):Well, Actually it's been a little hot and sweltering and humid. I mean, it feels like I just got dumped into Costa Rica without the beach. So I don't have a highly competitive edge, unless maybe it's a lay on the beach and drink a beer contests. So I'll do what I passed. I did not bring my game face to this one. I'm sure you did because you thrive off of competition, I think.
Jesper (1m 12s):Well, at least we are going to try to have a bit of fun today here and share our list of the five worst powers a character could have. And then as usual, we'll need to see if we can agree on who had the best worst list, Indiana and agreeing on who won is usually the hardest part of these episodes.
Autumn (1m 31s):Well know you always think you won, but I always know I did.
Jesper (1m 34s):See that's what I mean; we can't agree.
Autumn (1m 39s):We agree. We both feel that we can agree that each of us one.
Jesper (1m 43s):Yes, but, and then sometimes somebody on Patreon are the ones who do the tie-breaking.
Autumn (1m 49s):Yeah, that's exactly it. Sometimes they put on YouTube videos. So we, we do take votes. I don't think it's ever changed how we felt we did, but we try.
Jesper (2m 1s):Well, usually if they do conclude that they think I won, then I definitely agree with them. And then I think very wise people voting in that, those cases.
Autumn (2m 11s):Yeah. I would say, I think I've had more votes than you. So I think they are very wise.
Jesper (2m 17s):No, I don't think so. Is he already with disagreeing?
Autumn (2m 21s):I have more competition in me than I thought so we'll be good.
Jesper (2m 27s):Yeah. Apparently, so.
Autumn (2m 31s):So how are things over on your side of the planet?
Jesper (2m 35s):No, it's, it's it's good. We actually started, well, we talked about this a bit offline, but we did stop looking at a house because there's just not enough space in this apartment. I mean the location of this apartment, it's, it's like 200 meters from the beach wonderful location, but it's just, it's too small for the four of us. So we, yeah, we started looking at some new houses and we found one that is newly renovated. It was a completely overhauled about a year ago. So it, it looks really nice and we are looking at it last week and we felt like, ah, this is quite good.
Jesper (3m 22s):The price on the house is quite high. So we want that of course reduced. But just to be on the safe side, we, we hired a building inspector and we went
