I need a brontosaurus, can I get one there? And caterpillar urine, is that possible?

The brontosaurus is delayed. Something about the courier being eaten by a dilophosaurus? I know you spared no expense, but these things happen.

I'm going to have a melt down! How am I going to put a hex on someone if I can't even illegally procure supplies??? I think I need a nap.

You needing torture devices or laundering services?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

We insource our torture. Outside firms never get our branding right and it sends mixed messages to our consumers and adversaries. That said, having a single app for laundering services in each region's major currency would save me a lot of time and burner phones

I don't want my friend to need separate apps also.
