7. Oooh

I know - but when this was put up yesterday morning - knowing we didn't go to a rip roaring party on Saturday night in Williamsburg due to illness - I got worried.

11. Williamsburg?

I don't think the shooting was done with a vintage gun that "you've probably never heard of".

12. I don't understand your post at all

It makes no sense.

The op was posted at 6:59 a.m. on Sunday morning. I responded a moment later.

So at the time I posted - there was nothing else there.


So clarify your post please.

4. ...said no one in the Gungeon, ever (save for a few Colonists)

Sergeant Colon had had a broad education. He'd been to the School of My Dad Always Said, the College of It Stands to Reason, and was now a postgraduate student at the University of What Some Bloke In the Pub Told Me.
