@SanguineMasque Consider this a token of goodwill. Amuse me with a sound business plan, and perhaps fortune shall be kind enough to fall into your hands.

An intriguing offer. Boredom does seem rather fond of finding me, I shall take you up for it. That said, I find the contradiction rather charming. What is life without its own little twist, after all? To me, an end is not the cessation of life,—
@SanguineMasque I bid you a pleasant afternoon, everyone. If you fear that boredom may ensnare you, then I shall gladly keep you company. Well, what are your thoughts on my question?
