Sorry, was that too dark? AAAAAAAAAAEEUGH? !

How'd ya guess that? I was THERE, Shrike. I saw EVERYTHING!

I wish I hadn't. . .

. Anyone tell you you've a gambling problem? I was trying to HELP.

It's not MY fault! It was SUPPOSED TO WORK! But it didn't.

How do you even get IN there? AIN'T no TRICK to it! You just gotta hit the right SPOTS.

But a sad little Red like you won't go further than the length of your own DICK. You wouldn't get far then. :) THINK YER FUNNY, HUH?

-ABSENT. You are fairly young but they should be of significant length by now. I hope there's nothing.
