Quasit

Alright, Friday or Saturday?

@Olympian1010 Would you like your run this weekend? Otherwise I'm planning some Christmas special runs for next week when my holidays begin.

Ah no worries. That took you a bit just for snacks though. Aside from research or what's always on my mind, I always take notes whenever I read or hear something interesting. Especially when I have the time at work. I have material for more than I probably need. haha

That concluded quickly but I hope you'll be back for more runs in the future. It was a difficult path. Unfortunately, the big-winning streak is coming to an end but as always, thanks for playing.
