Aunt: Her name is [my name].

Client: *exasperated sigh* Yes, I remember her. How could I not.

Not surprised that he remembers me so well. When I was in his class, I managed to cause the fire alarms to go off in the lab because I screwed up an experiment. Only reason I passed was so he could get me out of his class because I was a danger to myself and others.

That's a little worrying.

Do you think her aunt lost the sale?

NS Stats are mostly accurate except for a few things, like this nation is capitalist and the death penalty isn't in effect

News:All trade with Crabaiaia and Pikala has stopped as diplomats meet in Trenaka.  Silvedanians are confused by Quentin Tarantulatino's new film, Seasonal Snackbox(This is a Bojack Horseman reference.) Weird song goes viral for making no sense.

No. I made a few other mistakes, but nothing else that's caused the fire alarm to go off.

Only to discover that what happened to Texas might also happen to Florida in the grim darkness of the nearby future. Or the state just drowns, while its profoundly conservative leaders continue to deny climate change from a very comfortable and safe distance.
