Notes

gollark: Terminology guide suggestion?
gollark: Someone just tried to offer a non-CB xeno on my trāde. Either they can't read, tried to scam me, or hoped I wasn't too picky.
gollark: Wow! I missed a zyu and aeon simultaneously!
gollark: Visit Forest and Alpine. Refresh fast around 5min and 1h drops (obviously). Sacrifice your firstborn to Ba'al.
gollark: I mean, hybrids too, I guess, but nobody expects a CB one and checks the lineage to see if it is.
