No matter how dead you think you are don't ever walk into elevator shafts.

Is that what happened?

Re: Finishhhh himmmm

[identity profile] antreegonist.livejournal.com 2011-09-06 05:58 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

Pretty much.

Re: Finishhhh himmmm

[identity profile] onyxsilver.livejournal.com 2011-09-07 12:52 am (UTC)(link)

Re: Finishhhh himmmm
