005 - Reparations

[boutthisonetime]

[The feed comes on to show Ellis sitting on a bed that most definitely looks like the chassis of a racecar with a mattress in the middle, but the man himself does not look too keen at the moment.]So, I guess I owe some folks an apology'r three. Y'know, when I first got here, y'all were tellin me, "Wonderland's a shitter!" and "Them events're hell

Just please don't mention anything to anyone. Those were things I hoped would never come out here.

[boutthisonetime]

Ellis nods solemnly. "You got it."

[tagged_tongue]

Thank you.

[boutthisonetime]

"Yeah.

"Don't, uh, don't go hatin' on yourself or nothin', though." Ellis sounds like he doesn't really know how to address the situation, then decides that he probably shouldn't, anyways. "Aw, hell. Never mind, only suggestion I will make: don't pay much heed to the ones I did make."

what is christmas 0_0

[Audio, because Ellis don't text]

[boutthisonetime]

Shit, another person who doesn't know what Christmas is!

Well, it's part-ways about celebratin' the birth of baby Jesus, part-ways about givin' gifts to friends and family. Everyone gets together, has a good time, a few drinks, sings some songs, tells some stories, catches up with one another, gets in fights sometimes but not usually, and has a lot of fun!
