Interlude: Fortune Found
The forgotten town of Fortune's Fields lies in the shadow of a mesa. Desert winds stir across the Free Roads, carrying the low, mournful calls of jackals. The streets lie quiet, sun-bleached and cracked, littered with the remnants of shops and abandoned homes. Across the train tracks, half-buried in sand and shadow, a mine shaft waits, its mouth dark and inviting. Fortune is found only by those desperate enough to follow it into the unknown.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonProduced by Taylor Moore at Fortunate Horse, original score by Nic Neves, and edited and designed by Jared Olson.

HINT! ep4: Just Deserts
And now, for our final course, the denouement. But how will it end? In confession? In violence? In the cold precision of a sickly sweet poison pill, or the white hot bite of black widow? Perhaps. The only things guaranteed in this, our final curtain call, are the same things that are always guaranteed to grow from the soil of spilled blood: lawyers, guns, and money.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonHINT! was designed and edited by Kate Sanders at Fortunate HorseSPECIAL THANKS TO: Shannon, Melanie, Amanda Freberg.Transcript of this episode coming soon!

HINT! ep3: Will They, Won't They
Our interlocutors do as the Romans do and pipe up, sweating through their first interrogation, but Cass finds himself in the cruelest court of all when his paper trail leads the way to new suspicions and old desperations. Not even a nice liberal government can save you from some things, like the smoking, still-warm barrel of a gun.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonHINT! was designed and edited by Kate Sanders at Fortunate HorseSPECIAL THANKS TO: Shannon, Melanie, Amanda Freberg.Transcript of this episode coming soon!

HINT! ep2: Hate the Player
As blood pools upon the thick pile of the Boddie Estate's imported rug collection, our players, and the game, are afoot. Bodies on the move in voluminous pants and long, dark secret hallways. Revelations and aspersions fill the air of the mansion like fingers between the keys of a grand piano, like a sky-darkening murmuration of starlings, as our heroes begin to uncover the culprit behind this murder most...fowl.We are:Brennan Lee MulliganErika IshiiAabria IyengarLou WilsonHINT! was designed and edited by Kate Sanders at Fortunate HorseSPECIAL THANKS TO: Shannon, Melanie, Amanda Freberg.Transcript of this episode coming soon!
