What if after playing Nightreign with @designdelve.bsky.social & @prettygrimgames.bsky.social yesterday, I went on a hike with @jimjam-walsh.bsky.social today, tried to find an Evergaol… and succeeded!?!

At a restaurant in Seattle and the waiter asked us if he could take our plates and came back to sing an entire karaoke rendition of “somebody to love” by Queen and then proceeded to not take our plates for another 15 minutes. Never kill yourself.
