I usually can't work to music with words, but today I need some ~vibes~ so I'm pulling out this giant playlist I apparently made 11 years ago and added to only once in 2021.

I'm usually pretty good at not letting the Horrors get me down, but man, some days are a real struggle, and I can never predict which days will be which.

We took a break for the holidays, but started back up afterward and play every other Monday.
They're currently solving a murder mystery, except they found the culprit but it means bad things: a redcap
