23 - Eternal Scouts
Комедия
May 15, 2013 - Two Night Vale Boy Scouts become the first to ever achieve the rank of Eternal Scout. Plus, an update on the floating cat, changes in who gets to die, and a recruitment drive for a vague yet menacing government agency.

"the children thanked the mayor, by vibrating, and dissolving" Now, those kid's parents really raised them right. Such wonderful manners!

Carlos, the Scout master, the boy from Europe. Sounds like Cecil has a lot of 'friends'. With a voice like that, I can't blame them, haha.

I agree. The weather tends to be kinda hit or miss for me, but I liked this episode's.
when I was watching this my mom gave me a fortune cookie and the fortune was “Focus on the color purple this week to bring you luck” and I laughed so hard 😂
"regret is an attempt to avoid what has already happened, toast is bread held under direct heat until crisp, the present tense or regret is indecision, the future tense of fear is either comedy or tragedy, and the past tense of toast is toasted." what the fuck nightvale.
Sometimes I wonder if Cecil (the character, not the voice actor) really believes what he's saying or if he just goes along with whatever city officials say do. I mean, whenever he talks about something he's not supposed to it can be inferred if not directly stated, that something unpleasant happens (talking about the shape in Mission Grove park, looking up, "dog park", and station management) as well as it being hinted that he has been re-education many times.

I've noticed some people in the comment section are saying that the half boy and half girl mute child is nonbinary, and while I like the representation, I thought it meant 2 seperate halves of children. Kinda like the fraction kid from the phantom tollbooth, just 2 halves of two different children, split down the middle vertically. The location of their other halves are unknown.

I found the death monologue really terrifying cause it implies all the weird things that NV citizens fear and make them disappear, like the cleaners or so, does not "kill" the citizens...
I swear the most relatable character here is the Mayor
The weather in this one is actually amazing okay
Hearing Cecil say that he "thinks often" about their last moments together and what was said, I feel like if Earl hadn't been dragged away Cecil might've actually considered going out with him. But maybe Cecilos is vital for some big future event and that's why the children dragged Earl away, to keep him from interfering. Or maybe they just ship Cecilos like everyone else in Night Vale and wanted Earl out of the way 😂😂 I could see myself doing something like that, dragging away someone who threatens my ship to some unknown ominous end
The Weather reminded me a bit of Coldplay or perhaps Keane. It's neat! Also, Earl Harlan...oh, Earl!
I stop listening for 1 minute to make sure when my dog jumped off the couch and splatted ungracfully on the ground he didn't hurt himself and come back to, "I'm working hard everyday, trying to die." Like what the hell did I miss.
Fell asleep, just woke up to all hail, all praise, all submit before the glow cloud. I then tiredly mumbled 'ALL HAIL' BEFORE REALIZING THAT IN JUST A FEW WEEKS OF WATCHING THIS ITS TAKEN OVER MY LIFE

I was a listener, about half a century ago. Desperately clinging to beautiful Cecil's voice. Working hard every day for death. Developing & harnessing an intolerance to gluten... brought on by wheat & wheat by-products. I now, in the present, have started listening to that mellifluous voice... reaching into the future, which is my past. "Welcome to Night Vale" is one of the best (& longest) books I've ever had the pleasure of not reading. Be safe & happy, everyone💕
“ I’m working hard every day, trying to die.” I felt that every time I clock in.
So proud of those boys for making eternal scouts. That takes a lot of dedication. Have a great day :)
Dying is very hard work
