    A Fair Fight

    Gideon the Ninth, Act I, Chapter 2 Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus offers Gideon a tempting deal. Gideon thinks it's a trick. It's a trick. Claire Beans (she/they) and Han Koehle (any pronouns) talk about lies, Gideon and Harrow's relationship, developmentally appropriate goblinry, the relationship between the imperial military and economy, and what it's like to fight Too May Guys. Claire wants to know how blood sweat works. Han has a Theory about Gideon's immortality. Both are perpetually confused about the thanergy/thalergy system. The audio quality in this episode is not where we'd like it to be. There was a thunderstorm through most of the recording session and Han's microphone got real weird about it. Sorry about that, and we promise it's better in episode 3. Content Warning: death, decomposition, blood, fictional and real-world injury, slavery, war, emetophobia, value-neutral mention of specific weight.
