It carried over?
no subject
Yes. It did. Why?
no subject
Jing said his people only die one of two ways.
To fall in battle, or madness.

For what it is worth, the angels do seem kind and trying.
[ Whatever expulsion means, maybe they won't just send his ass to turbohell.
Smash cut to Jiaoqiu executing his own neighbour general tomorrow but that's a problem for tomorrow us. ]
no subject
They scolded me when I spoke to them earlier.
[ will marcoh let jiaoqiu just rest his head on his shoulder... he's tired. ]
They are trying.
no subject
They've been scrambling for things too, by the sounds of it.
They can do better too. I guess even Heaven isn't perfect.
