SWAT team, bursting into your room, having been briefed with detailed Roomba-collected maps: *avoids difficult rug*
You ever think about how in the Charlie and the chocolate factory movie veruca just gets thrown down the bad nut chute but in the musical she gets ripped apart
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
