Notes
gollark: I've got a 30G inbred aeon and 14G or red somewhere.
gollark: I can send along my messiest dragons for you.
gollark: They have CBs. I wonder why they bred it with a 2G. Probably an accident.
gollark: Now the eternal wait and wondering begins.
gollark: I offered my spare CB Magma. That prize is probably worth *something*.
