[flameandpassion]

Bats. Are you siccing bats on us?

or is your hearing gone too?

My hearing is just fine.

sometimes we scrape the wrong thing

[flameandpassion]

You won't be taking anything away from me anytime soon.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

are you going to burn us?

[flameandpassion]

Are you suggesting that I can?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

no
but that doesn't mean not to

[flameandpassion]

Would you kill me if I did?

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

no

[flameandpassion]

I'm not dying thanks to you and your games.

[adstring-npc.livejournal.com]

we don't like death

[flameandpassion]
