In this episode of Woe.Begone, the Tri-Leg headquarters is thrown into disarray when Stinky, the CEO of The Hutch and a member of the Ibis Society, goes missing. With no emergency beacon activation, the team suspects a sophisticated captor who knows how to disable security systems. The episode unfolds as a quirky, surreal investigation led by Bradford Beaumont, who communicates via a floating VTuber head from his moon-based mansion. The team assembles: Matt, a newly minted Ibis Society member who’s lost his coin; Troy, a hyper-enthusiastic, coffee-fueled diner regular with a deep emotional bond to a rabbit named Tie-Dye; and Bridges, a rugged, action-oriented 'cowboy' iteration ready to 'lock and load.' As they prepare to hunt down Stinky in Old Brush Valley, the episode explores themes of identity, iteration, and the absurdity of bureaucracy in a multiverse where people are interchangeable. Amid jokes about rabbit habitats, broken jukeboxes, and moon-based CEOs, the core mission remains urgent: find Stinky before his captor causes irreversible timeline damage. The episode ends with the team departing for their mission, leaving behind a trail of chaos, camaraderie, and one very pooped-on Troy.
When a high-profile figure goes missing in a multiverse organization, the response must balance urgency with subtlety to avoid cascading timeline corrections.
Identity is fluid in this universe—multiple versions of the same person (like Lop and Troy) are interchangeable, blurring the lines of individuality.
Emotional connections (like Troy’s bond with a rabbit) can be as important as operational objectives in motivating action.
Even in high-stakes missions, humor, absurdity, and personal quirks (like a broken jukebox or a moon-based CEO) are essential to team cohesion.
The real danger isn’t just the missing person—it’s the potential for a correction cascade that could erase memories and destabilize reality.
Intro & Quick Plugs

The Missing Coin & First Arrival
Matt arrives at Tri-Leg headquarters, panicked about losing his Ibis Society coin, only to be interrupted by Lop, who reveals the real emergency: Stinky’s disappearance.
The Emergency Meeting Begins
“We are dealing with a sophisticated culprit. Stinky has an emergency beacon inside his Troy Leg unit that should have gone off at the first sign of distress. Since this beacon did not, in fact, go off, we must assume that the person who captured Stinky prevented the alarm from sounding.”
The Bunny Complex & Identity Confusion
“There is no need to differentiate us. We are entirely modular. I can operate the bunny complex if I need to, and Lop over there can arrange meetings and give tours to guests. We are one in the same.”
The Plan & Departure
“I'll have my nose to the ground like a bloodhound. Now, which one of our cowboy friends you reckon did this?”
“We are dealing with a sophisticated culprit. Stinky has an emergency beacon inside his Troy Leg unit that should have gone off at the first sign of distress. Since this beacon did not, in fact, go off, we must assume that the person who captured Stinky prevented the alarm from sounding.”
“I have cow Troy. I have Troy boy. I have Troy. Why don't I have a drag Troy, Dylan? Make drag toy. Drag toy.”
“There is no need to differentiate us. We are entirely modular. I can operate the bunny complex if I need to, and Lop over there can arrange meetings and give tours to guests. We are one in the same.”
