“The Spunion: This is the broken wookie. Like⟳ Keller said, “there’s a tweaker by the speaker.” It’s not entirely his fault. He just tried to reach⟳ for the stars…too much, too soon. And he probably didn’t have⟳ a capable doctor to help⟳ him augment his prescription. It might just be time for a Jedi mind⟳ flip. One certainly doesn’t have⟳ to be a wook to be a tweaker. Even the guy who owns his own⟳ pressure washing company can eat⟳ too many mushrooms and end⟳ up in his tent like⟳ a little lost kitten. It’s some weird business to get⟳ so spun that you get⟳ lost in your own⟳ forest, but strange things do happen⟳ to good people. If it’s your first time at a location and you’re planning on rolling the dice, you can expect⟳ to wander⟳ around some place⟳ like⟳ Infinity Downs at five in the morning looking for high field camping. Welcome⟳ to the forgotten dance⟳ of the dablatures. That’s why God invented Spirit Aid.”
