Features

Self-description — Alex: a small boy, kind of too small, with a look in his eyes that he has seen too much, in a newsie cap, a dirty brown jacket and dirty brown pants. Brennan's narration: he plies his trade with a bag of newspapers by his side and a big old basset hound, Justin Fication. MEN E1 01:07:32, MEN E1 01:07:43
Card background lines — Three lines under the title on his file card: So teeny. Very tiny.; Has a look in his eyes that he's seen too much; Newsie cap with dirty brown pants and dirty brown shoes on. MEN E1 01:08:02
File stamp HARMLESS — His file No. 794 is stamped HARMLESS in the transcript caption of the full card with the three features. MEN E1 01:28:57
Escape Artist — Card feature: +3 to checks when finding escape routes or hiding spots. MEN E1 01:28:57, MEN E1 01:29:19
Hot Shot Driver — Card feature: +3 to all drive checks. MEN E1 01:28:57, MEN E1 01:29:19
Stealthy — Card feature: spend 1 Moxie to not be seen. Alex reads it aloud: "spend one Moxie to not be seen within reason." with GM's discretion. MEN E1 01:51:37, MEN E1 01:28:57
Plus two on Sneak (not named) — Alex adds a fixed 2 to Sneak: "That's 19 plus two, 21." The source is not named. MEN E1 01:28:51
Escape Artist used: slipping away — Snap Decision Sneak: Alex: "6 plus 2 and then Escape Artist plus 3", 11, against The Fix's 2 and Hunch's Sturdy 6; Conrad escapes the argument. MEN E1 01:49:15, MEN E1 01:49:46
Grabbed by the thug; Sturdy 5 — Trying to hot-wire the car he fails a Snoop (a 6) and a thug grabs his shoulder: Mr. Avaricci wants to meet him. The thug's grapple makes 3 plus 2, a 5, to beat; Conrad's Sturdy is a 3 and he burns two Moxie, so he pulls back as both thugs go for guns. His second Sturdy is a 5; as the gun goes off wide, cocked away from him by the falling highway, an overpass collapses onto the car and kills the two goons; he is inches from the collapse, and the roll is to be resolved at the top of the next episode. MEN E1 01:50:26, MEN E1 01:50:50
Moxie gained: a token for a failed Snoop — Snoop "That's a 3" for the trinkets: the Moxie ball slides down the track and Alex: it feels right; he finds nothing. MEN E1 01:18:25, MEN E1 01:18:38
Moxie gained on the failed car Snoop; two burned on Sturdy — Brennan: the Snoop 6 is a failure and a Moxie token slides down the track; on the Sturdy 3 Alex: "Okay, so I'll burn these two." MEN E1 01:51:19, MEN E1 01:50:26
Plus two on Sneak, again — Sneak rolls with a fixed 2 added: a two plus two for 4, later 14 plus two for 16, then two plus two for 4 and "plus my two"; the source is not named. MEN E2 00:09:08, MEN E2 01:54:49
Saved by the falling highway (recap) — Brennan's recap: a section of a synaptic highway crumbled and fell, crushing the car underneath just in time to save the life of Conrad Schintz. Then to Conrad: someone just tried to kill you, and something is not adding up; he is, in his own estimation, a street urchin vagabond newsie kid. MEN E2 00:01:30, MEN E2 00:05:57
Escape Artist used: ducking into the shadow — Sneak "a two plus two, 4"; Alex asks whether he adds Escape Artist every time; Brennan: yes, that can be a 7; he does not get away but ducks into the shadow of the car under the rubble. MEN E2 00:09:03, MEN E2 00:09:08
Moxie spent: one on a Snoop 3 — Snoop against difficulty 4: "3, but I'll burn a Moxie." MEN E2 00:31:31, MEN E2 00:31:37
Moxie offered: two; The Fix's one Moxie (Loyal) gives him +2 — Sturdy: "three, but I'll use two Moxie."; The Fix: one for two, a plus two from Loyal; whether Alex also burns his two is not said. MEN E2 01:54:14, MEN E2 01:54:19
Moxie gained: hugging Justin — Instead of fighting he hugs Justin; Brennan: "Just take a Moxie." MEN E2 01:55:24, MEN E2 01:55:26
Sturdy and Sharp dice not placed — One engine (AppleVision; Qwen stops at the name): it reads 220, d12, d10, d8 and d4 on his card; the d6 is unread. Of d8 and d6, one belongs to Sturdy and the other to Sharp; neither is read beside its label. MEN E2 00:06:04
Escape Artist used: caught anyway — Sneak "a one plus two"; "With the Escape Artist, it's still just a 5. 6, sorry."; Brennan: grab the kid; Hunch catches him. MEN E3 00:17:00, MEN E3 00:17:02
Driving bonus on the Sneak (feature not named) — Exploding natural-20 Sneak: "Three, and then plus my two, so 25." and then, because he is also driving, "Then we gotta make it 28." MEN E3 01:08:59, MEN E3 01:09:02
Moxie gained: more on a failed Savvy 5 — Alex's Savvy is a 5 among the failures; Brennan: "More Moxie here." and The Fix gets it and Conrad gets it as well. MEN E3 00:44:30, MEN E3 00:44:35
Moxie given: two to Anastasia — Alex: "Yeah, I'll give you two also from my four." on Danielle's Savvy. MEN E3 00:33:45
Moxie: one to lend to Dan — When Freddie asks for a lend, Alex: "I have one also." MEN E3 01:03:17
Hot Shot Driver used — A drive check to the mayor: "17 plus 2 plus 3, so that's 22." MEN E4 01:29:09
Moxie gained: a token for the exploded Slick 2 — Slick "Two." on a borrowed d4 after the explosion that went off the table; Brennan: he did not fail by five or more, and a Moxie ball slides down the track. MEN E4 00:35:15, MEN E4 00:35:20
Sturdy and Sharp dice still not placed — A later frame reads d20, d12, d10, d6, d4, so both d8 and d6 appear on the card across frames, never beside the Sturdy or Sharp label; no roll in play names the die of either stat. MEN E4 00:34:02
Hot Shot Driver used: the squad car — Sneak for the squad car, difficulty 8: "We got a 7 plus 2 plus 3 for driving. That's a 12."; the squad car goes through. MEN E5 00:08:39, MEN E5 00:08:44
Taller by an inch or two — Alex: Conrad feels he might be an inch or two taller; Brennan: he has to kick the bricks off the gas pedal because his legs grow a little longer; Conrad: "Gotta adjust this." MEN E5 02:02:42, MEN E5 02:02:59
Savvy plus two with his key — Savvy at the board with his key: "Four plus two, that's a six"; the source of the two is not named. MEN E6 00:39:20
Turns his key: a d100 stat — Brennan: turning his key gives a stat of pure Moxie which conscience alone unlocks; as in Kids on Bikes every stat is assigned a different die and the only die left to assign is the d100. MEN E6 01:14:36
d100 used against Madam Loathing — She rolls a Sturdy 11 to resist; Brennan asks Alex for a d100: 57, "my favorite number"; Madam Loathing diminishes in size and turns away from self-loathing. MEN E6 01:16:34, MEN E6 01:16:52
Moxie given: one to Anastasia on the dodge — Danielle counts her dodge up to 14 with a Moxie at plus four; Alex: "I give you one." MEN E6 00:41:32, MEN E6 00:41:38
Taller, said again — Conrad: "Oh, uh, no. I think I might be a little taller." and in the epilogue he says he is a little bit taller now. MEN E6 00:29:48, MEN E6 01:43:25
