Seeing if this works. Trying to keep bandwidth down. Migrating from old reddit stuff.

Edit: Either the thumbnail doesn’t work, or attempting to expand it takes you to imgur. Opted for thumbnail missing. If someone knows how to make both work, please comment.

I see Dirk Gently's, I upvote. And that scene also fits so well :D

It should fit pretty well. 😁 The audio matches the subtitles for all but one word.

This is from a show called Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. This is an edited clip from the 2016 version.

Edit: I put together a brief clip of a scene more representative of the tone of the show, to give people an idea of what they’re actually in for if they go looking for it.

I mean, if the first clip didn't sell me on it, this one did

The books are great too. Very different from the America reboot. The older British versions of the show are a lot closer to original Douglas Adams books.

It may take a bit of luck, but there are some people out there who don’t really see her as “murder hobo”. Except in the strict literal sense.

Coldwater Odin: I mean, she never kills the wrong person. The one time she didn't kill the person she needed to it went to shitchess​ter415 O​P: You'd be hard pressed to argue she's not a murder hobo though.Coldwater_Odin: If we take the strict definitions of the words "Murder" and "Hobo" then yes she is. But I feel there is a spiritual difference between her and a true murder hobo.chess​ter415 O​P:Butterfly guy/Pirates crossover meme -Butterfly as Homeless character who admittedly goes around and kills whoever she feels like killing all day.Yutaro gesturing toward butterfly: Is this a murder hobo?u/Coldwater Odin as Pirate Captain: Well yes, but actually no

Maybe your DM will have a similar view and agree that “Holistic Assassain” is a totally reasonable character archtype, and not the equivalent of “murder hobo”, at least in a spiritual sense. Good luck. 😁^👍^
