9th Official Tournament — Round 3
DIVISION 1 – Drizzling Rain, DG-P
As soon as Dr. death111 walked out of the hut, kefkaesque bolted up. “Is she still alive?”
“CarrotCake94’s doing well,” the good doctor replied. “Her pulse is down to 78 BPM, but the rhythms are stable – still a couple of jolts here and there, though.”
“Jolts? What jolts?”
“Nothing too alarming. Sometimes her heartbeat shifts a 48th, sometimes it runs 24ths instead of 16ths, and sometimes it staggers its rhythms a little.”
Above the remaining survivors of District 1, storm clouds began to form.
DIVISION 2 – Exodus (On Vocal ver.), Y-NRG System
“Quick! More Hatsune!” screamed Pizza69; soramimi turned the volume on her iPod up to full blast. They had finally found Soular Order’s weakness, as the wicked beat wizard recoiled, horrified at these mystic vocals he had never heard before.
“RARAWR!” roared RARAWR, clapping his paws in happiness.
With a steady beat (a healthy 160 BPM) to keep the room stable, gravity had returned to normal, but some of District Two’s finest were having trouble keeping steady. Yellow arrows whizzed by here and there, forcing people to jump and avoid them. But they’d get out of here alive yet.
DIVISION 3 – Aishiteru Yo Ne, Virtual Riot ft. Miss Neko
_Rainbow Dash_ swallowed another gulp of water as another flock of nekos swarmed around him. These weren’t your average mermaids. Nekos were fierce computerized warriors, a experiment the Virtual Riot movement had started that had gone bad. Armed with leeks and dubstep, they were so intimidating that he now wondered if going down with the ship would have been the easier way to die.
One neko approached and attacked, slapping her tail back and forth across his face rhythmically: he saw stars red, blue and yellow. Others joined in the attack and before long he was taking three slaps at once, getting flung into 24th swing rhythms like a rag doll, and generally not having the time of his life. Despite what his name suggested, he did not enjoy the rainbows splattered across his perception, and before long he couldn’t see anything but raw, unrelenting pain.
DIVISION 4 – Over the Bridge, G5 Project
TheSaxRunner05 ran across to his teammates. “Grandma’s fine! She baked me cookies. What did I miss?”
“A lot, douchedick!” screamed Sgt. Traveler, spittle forming at his mouth. “Now get your ass on down here, boy, time’s short!”
“Watch out!” BattleBears waved hysterically, frantically motioning at the rioters approaching our doomed saxophone runner.
Alas, it was too late, and District Four watched as their friend was torn to pieces. BattleBears turned to his sergeant. “What do we do now, commander?”
“Quick, you scoundrels! There’s a bridge there! It’s long and a little unstable, so make sure you don’t slip!”
DIVISION 5 – Requiem -Dies irae-, Colorful Sounds Port
The blood of the slain summerghost on his hands, Hateandhatred grimaced. It had taken seven days and cost at least ten lives, but the spirit was done for.
“Where do we go from here?” grunted omega_grunt666.
“I DON’T KNOW LOL,” giggled FontSize72LOL.
Hateandhatred turned to his comrades and took control. “Our strategy was underwater subterfuge, but we don’t have a submarine anymore. The Port of Colorful Sounds is two days’ walk from here. If we can make it through that suspiciously dark forest, we’ll be there in no time.”
“But senpai, I heard there are…monsters! And bats! And POLYRHYTHMS! Aaaaah!”
He turned to supermoe1985, who, being older than him, was technically his senpai, and sighed. “We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.”
And District Five stepped tentatively, perhaps foolishly, into a wasteland of dead choir victims and wicked piano runs.
DIVISION 6 – The Steel Monster Above the City, Kitsune^2
Out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Not that dAnceguy117 hadn’t been happy to see General McKnuckle’s fleet absolutely decimated…if only their savior hadn’t turned out to be even more awful. The entire reason he had joined the army was to travel, and this was one story he’d get to tell his grandchildren someday – granted, of course, that he survived. Which, looking at the 200-foot monster above him spitting out 24ths and 32nds every which way, was probably going to be a crapshoot.
DIVISION 7 – Wraith, Adraen
scottiena saw another volley of 16th jumps flying his way. “Hang on, guys!”
Only sixteen tributes were left hanging on the edges of Airship Adraen as it whirled across the sky at 215 BPM. Waiting out the devastation on the ground had seemed like a smart idea until the rulers of the Tournament had thrown a wrench into their plans. Wouldn’t want the viewership numbers to drop too low, eh?
Drones followed, firing bullets into the flaming hull of Adraen. They were rigid, precise attacks, delivered in rapid one-two taps and never letting up long enough for anybody to get the ship back under control. All they could do was hang on and hope that by the blind force of their grips they wouldn’t drop 35,000 feet to a gruesome death.
This war of attrition was no longer something they could avoid. This war was everywhere. This war was now their own.
9th Official Tournament — Round 2
DIVISION 1 – Bluebird, YDK
SapphireYoshi wiped a strand of hair out of his eyes and felt tears well up. They had lost a lot of good friends crossing the Eastern Cloud Bridge. At least they’d fared through the past few days well.
It was a lovely (if slightly downcast) day, and a bright, chirpy song filled the air–slow (at 93 BPM) and oddly relaxing. Beautiful teal birds filled the sky, tweeting twinkly melodies amidst the fog of synthesizers. But wait—why were they all flying towards him?
Beside him, he heard a bloodcurdling scream. A huge blue projectile protruded out of his friend CarrotCake94’s stomach: a red mist filled the air as everybody around him panicked. Those weren’t birds; they were bullets—and this was an ambush.
DIVISION 2 – Time (Soular Order Remix), Soular Order
Just as Fluvs managed to land a punch, the room flipped again and he found himself face down on what was just before the ceiling. Behind him, the swell of an orchestral melody he vaguely remembered but couldn’t quite place was chopped into bits by the hip-hop beats of his attacker: producing prodigy gone bad Soular Order—behind him was Christopher J. Nolan, blood caked around his rotting body.
(Fluvs wasn’t too torn up about that last part, honestly. Inception was overrated, anyway.)
He had heard much about Soular Order from his studies in the District Two Police Academy. He had a way of toying with his victims, offering them brief moments of refuge before dialing up the intensity when they least expected it. So when the beats subsided and gravity finally returned to normal, he knew better than to let his guard down.
“Everybody stand your ground!” he shouted.
Beside him, Ninjacide arched his hand back before reconsidering and putting his throwing stars down. After all, with one turn of gravity his perfect throw could be aimed right back at him.
Soular Order stared down the remaining 53 members of District Two and grinned wildly. “Well, well, well, you think you’re so smart, huh? Well, let’s see how you deal with THIS!”
The room began spinning again, and soon enough everybody was spinning right along with it. Even Fluvs was flummoxed: he had been trained to deal with straightforward 16th beats, but never 24ths. It’d take a while to get past this guy, that was for sure.
DIVISION 3 – Exogenesis, Rogue
Netjet! had always been easy to excite, but this was just too much for him. “Ah! Hey! What do we do, guys!”
“If you stop exclaiming things, maybe we can work something out!” snapped omgfail. “Oh my god, do you ever stop failing?”
Granted, everybody in District Three knew what the protocol for dealing with rogue attacks was: when 20% of your district’s work force worked on pirate ships, you were always better safe than sorry. Everyone knew that when your shipmates turned against you, you had to keep your hands on the ground and jump as fast as you could off of the ship. But now, with arrows flying every which way, two or even three at a time, nobody had any idea what to do—and looking at a drop this big, jumping ship was no option.
DIVISION 4 – Prove Them Wrong, Virtual Riot
All Doug31 could make out as he was flung down yet another staircase were colors: red, blue, yellow and the occasional purples and pinks. Above him, computerized hooligans ran about, smashing databases and running off from the pet shop with RAMs. They weren’t your average rioters looking for a quick fix, that was for sure: these digital deviants were precise, tapping you in the face over and over before knocking you out cold with an unexpected flurry of 16th punches.
They had already lost so many: runescapedude1126 (dead running from The Whip), mint_man (dead from food poisoning), and TheSaxRunner05 (not dead, just out on military leave to visit his grandmother in the hospital). And for the time being it looked like they would lose a lot more.
DIVISION 5 – summerghost, paraoka
Despite his cute name and fruity, funky demeanor, the summerghost was no small threat. His attacks came in many flavors: jackhammers thrown about every which way, flaming orange arrows nestled in between already-chaotic ambushes, and piano flourishes everywhere – impossible to sidestep, they had to be dealt with head-on.
j-rodd123 crouched behind a rock, hiding from the spooky specter, as he planned out a counterattack. On the other hand, thesunfan was dodging projectiles from every direction while desperately trying to reason with him.
“It’s okay! I know what it’s like not to have any spaces in my name! I’m on your side!”
Ugh, pacifists.
DIVISION 6 – Great Battleship, Stone McKnuckle
“We’re going down!”
Near the stern of the District 6 Battleship, which was now taking on water fast, Father PriestREA had a huddle of crying men and women around him. “Nay, even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me…”
The ship had been designed to take on assaults at an intensity level of 16—but an attack of this ferocity was unprecedented. Volleys of 32nd bullets pierced the hull, while focused pairs of 16ths pounded away at critical points in the defense mechanisms. Their enemies had even brought in a guitarist to play a gnarly solo just because they could, the arrogant bastards.
You could hear all you wanted about General Stone McKnuckle, but there was nothing quite like meeting the legend and his fleet in the flesh.
DIVISION 7 – Ah Shwe Bah, Dr. Lefty feat. Admiral T
As he watched over the carnage over the Battledome, Admiral T smirked.
“How are things looking?” Dr. Lefty asked, bringing along the aspiring his client had requested.
Admiral T chugged water silently before dropping the pill into his mouth. He grimaced as the oily capsule grated down his throat. He wasn’t 20 anymore, that was for sure. “Lots of surprises so far. It’s a shame leonid got taken down so early—he was my early favorite. Oh, hey, throw in another amen break there.”
“What for?” Dr. Lefty’s brow furrowed.
“Just for the fun of it, whatchasay? Let’s just set attack power to RANDOM, that’ll get some eyeballs on this. Ratings, my friend!”
9th Official Tournament – Round 1!
It was a time of disorder, destitution and debauchery: innocent citizens were slaughtered by the thousands in a series of riots, famine spread like wildfire, and Justin Timberlake released the second part of The 20/20 Experience. The government of Flash Flash went down with the country; in its place, The Event Staff came to be—and so a new power was born.
Despite the occasional uprising here and there (the most recent of which was a coup d’etat led by freedom fighter Arch0wl), the unlikely empire has held onto its power with an iron grip. The secret to its reign? Bread and circuses, my friends: spectacles like the annual Tournaments, the latest of which is where our story begins. Valiant warriors from every basement in every district—gerrymandered in an event known as The Great Division—have come to compete in a survival-of-the-fittest arena unlike any other. One district reigns supreme every year; those who see their task to its end are rewarded with an orgy of credits (though inflation renders them more and more worthless by the year) and Sriracha sauce.
And with that, we now return to the regularly-scheduled programming in progress…
DIVISION 1 – Clouds From The East, DJ Meas
The first few days had been peaceful. Too peaceful.
Helixia’s brow furrowed as she followed the twists and turns of the mountain road. Hiding and waiting the carnage out wasn’t too bad a strategy, but the fog around the 83 representatives of District One was growing thicker the higher they climbed, and the rope tying them together was fraying under their collective weight.
Just ahead of her, goose64 began to slow down. The team ground to a halt.
Somebody cried, “What do you see, guys?”
At the very front of the line, $ecret.LuX gaped at the canyon just ahead of her, so vast that the other end was nowhere in sight. The only way forward was on the bridge of legends, the Eastern Cloud Bridge. They would have to traverse a shaky chain of clouds situated 30,000 feet above ground level—all the while dodging arrows red, blue and occasionally yellow. The sky spirits loved to play tricks with wanderers, switching up patterns and sending off volleys of two arrows at once (forcing those traversing the narrow, uneasy path to jump).
One misstep meant certain death: there was no way all of them were making it to the other side alive. As $ecret.LuX took the first step, an ominous piano melody began to play in her head.
DIVISION 2 – Hoot [AREIA REMIX], Jun Areia
As cool as he wanted to be about this whole situation, SC_coolguy44 was not, in fact, cool about this whole situation. He hadn’t showered in days. His eyes were bloodshot. And at the back of his head, an urgent concern gnawed at his psyche:
What if Girls Generation releases a new song and I don’t get to hear it?
No doubt his comrades were feeling the desire for companionship: though all of the canned franks had been devoured by last Tuesday, there was still plenty of sausage to go around District Two. The mental anguish had gotten to many already—so when SC_coolguy44 first heard a familiar melody echoing from far away, he thought he was hallucinating. But as it got louder, he knew his mind wasn’t playing tricks on him.
Yes, those were definitely the luscious vocals of diva superstar Tiffany. And the song was definitely “Hoot,” which any true fan would know as objectively the best Girls Generation single.
Beside him, MrPoptart objected, “But what about Gee?“
“Shut up!” he snapped.
Exhausted and with no better prospects on the horizon, the soldiers followed the siren song until they found themselves in an abandoned dance club: the lights shattered, the chairs toppled, and there was in sight—so where was the music coming from?
Something was wrong. This wasn’t the “Hoot” they knew. No, the beats were darker, the tempo slower, the vocals chopped. Before any of the 95 could come to their wits, a perfectly-arranged gaggle of girls armed with bows stomped into the room—led by an ominous presence.
It was him. Jun Areia. FFR’s Top 10 Most Wanted. The serial remixer.
“Fire, girls!” Areia shouted as they held up their bows. When the poor deluded souls of Division Two finally realized where they were aimed, it was too late.
DIVISION 3 – Reading For Days, The Living Tombstone
“Are you finished yet?” moaned MyRoseTearsBlood.
“Patience, my friend!” replied Brandon Schewe as he flipped the page. Sure, his comrades might underestimate the value of strategy, but he didn’t bring his Kindle to the Tournament for nothing!
“You’ve been reading for days!” his friend cried. The river was soaking everybody in District Three, and it was getting tougher and tougher to row their rickety boat against the current.
“And I’ll keep reading until I figure out just what to do about these godfangled arrows!” he retorted! Mr. Schewe was, of course, referring to the incoming attacks of natives: fortunately, they were slow and came in easily-recognizable patterns.
That is, until now.
“Hold on, guys!” screamed X6viz, muffled under the sudden roar of the waters. “Big drop coming ahead!”
“Brandon! Watch out!”
As the boat dipped its nose sixty degrees, a swift volley of arrows rushed across the river—two orange ones grazed its side. omgfail looked down to see water pooling under his feet. A series of six in pink and purple came next; the rhythms were getting trickier and trickier. Now in freefall, the hapless members of District Three could only cling to the sides of their boat as they plunged into a watery doom.
DIVISION 4 – The Whip, FoxSky
Another trio of arrows whizzed by Coveyduck’s head, forcing him to put his hands on the ground and kneel. Whose blasted idea had it been to ask this FoxSky guy for help, anyhow?
FoxSky stood in the center of the shuttered coliseum, whip in hand. This was no ordinary whip: instead of rope, it was made of the remains of arrows—orange, pink, teal and even green. (So the rumors that Fox Corp. had been tampering with nuclear waste had been true!) As he swung his gigantic lasso around and around, it disintegrated, sending debris flying every which way. A chain of orange arrows here, a volley of pinks and purples there—FoxSky wasn’t a national jazz soloist for nothing—and green notes aimed at those who dared fire back.
“Yeeeee-ooooo caaaaaaan’t staaaaaaahh-ppp meeeeeee!”
Funmonkey54 sidestepped a handful of radioactive sludge hurled his way. “What now?”
DIVISION 5 – Stories Can Wait (Virtual Riot Remix), Submatik
Flaming_Dingleberry saw another slew of yellow torpedoes roaring towards his cockpit. “Everybody duck!” he screamed as one made impact, sending District Five tumbling across the floor. Three more torpedoes rammed into the submarine in quick succession: over at the control station, NeoMasterPie tried to hit the corresponding key for defense but didn’t quite get the timing right.
“Still doing good, guys!” he yelled.
“Good isn’t good enough! Our defense has to be perfect!”
Things were getting dire fast. So much for underwater subterfuge. The stream of projectiles coming in from every direction didn’t look to be ending soon—and a slew of sneakier, unpredictable ones were soon on their way. Getting back to the surface alive would take no small miracle.
DIVISION 6 – Guile of the Rime King, Clonepa
“Are you sure it’s okay to be here?” Hakulyte stammered as the warriors of District Six lurked the cavernous halls of the pyramid. “I don’t feel okay with raiding dead people’s tombs for weapons.”
“I’m telling you,” said awein999, “Pharaoh Clonepa’s been dead for centuries. What, do you think he set off some kind of trap so nobody would come—“
Suddenly, they heard the ominous tinkles of a music box.
“What was that?” somebody shouted.
Pretentious flipped her hair pretentiously and replied, with an air of pretension, “I’m sure it was nothing, let’s just—“
Then came the drum ‘n bass.
Arrows whizzed from every corner of the halls, stained brown with the blood of slain looters. They were fast, unpredictable, and brutal. The last thing the survivors heard was an anonymous command everybody should have taken far, far earlier.
“RUN!”
DIVISION 7 – Mirage Garden, Xi
Nobody knew warfare better than the elite group of fighters that made up District Seven, known as the Sparta of Flash Flash. And yet the past few days had taken a toll on even them—as they ambled weakly through the forest, they kept things to a quiet murmur. No use in wasting any more energy than they already had.
It was kjwkjw who first saw the light.
“What is this place?” wondered RB_Spirit as he and his comrades stepped into a garden full of the lushest flowers he had ever seen. In the middle was a lake with water so crystalline it seemed as if it were a mirror. Taking in the beautiful fragrances, he smiled as he tiptoed to the edge and peered at his own reflection in the surface.
In the distance, he heard the crashing of pianos, the shredding of guitars, the thundering of drums.
Then the water muddied. Stunned, he stumbled back, but the image on the now-grey surface began to shift. He saw arrows from every color of the rainbow: pinks, greens, even whites. He saw a mirror image of the garden; everything was the same, but the plants had rotted and blood stained almost every square inch of the earth. And finally, he saw his comrades turning against each other, one of his closest friends crawling in a futile attempt at escape only to be thwarted by his own fellow soldier—him.
A sickening realization dawned on RB_Spirit. He had felt that something was a little off about this tournament: now he knew why. This time, they weren’t here to destroy the other districts. They were going to end up destroying one another.

9th Official Tournament: Sign-ups open!
It’s about time! As I said in the 8th Official Tournament post (in a slightly larger font): GAME ON.
Due to increased popularity with a new scoring system, this tournament will follow in the last one with raw scoring, as it promotes much more sensible competition that isn’t reliant on full combos with potential mashing. There’s not much to be said on the front page, as it’s just a notification, and I don’t want people simply flocking off and not reading the rules and regulations to go and sign-up for the tournament.
Good luck, everyone!
FFR Public Service Announcement
…sign-ups for the 9th Official Tournament will open on Saturday.
That is all.
Quick Update (plus a file for good measure)
Hey guys,
As some of you might have noticed, there haven’t been any weekly song releases yet. Everything left in the queue at this point has been reserved for the 9th Official Tournament (which should be starting very shortly, get hype). Hopefully the addition of seven (yes, seven!) files every week once the tourney kicks off should satisfy those members that felt short-changed this past weekend.
I have one quick release for you guys right now, something that wasn’t quite considered tourney-appropriate (I’ll let you guess why). hi19hi19‘s jacktackular Turbo should help tide most of you over until the Official starts. Good luck trying to net a Full Combo (or AAA?!) on this beast of a file.
Have fun!

Songs of the Week (September 7, 2013)
Unexplained absences are my favorite thing in the whole wide world. Now, don’t get me wrong here: the so-called “necessities” that we human beings require in order to continue functioning are pretty great too, but somehow things like clean drinking water or a properly functioning circulatory system always seems to pale in comparison to the tantalizing allure of an unexplained absence. You see, when it comes to a regular absence, you’re guaranteed to get the general idea of why somebody has disappeared from the spotlight. You’re more or less told exactly why this person’s output has ceased and that’s the end of it. Of course, this is almost certainly never the case when it comes to an unexplained absence. Whenever somebody suddenly up and leaves without any sort of warning whatsoever, all that’s left for their audience to do is to piece together a vague what if using the missing person’s persona and whatever else they’ve left behind in their wake as a reference. One could quite literally come up with a limitless amount of possibilities as to where their favorite author or beloved Grandmother might have run off to and not a single one of them can be proven wrong, the laws of the universe withstanding. Quite simply, the absentee could be doing anything and nobody can say otherwise. It is for that reason that I adore unexplained absences and why I also believe that they’re a whole heck of a lot more interesting than the actual explanation as to why FFR’s front page post have stagnated over the past few months or so.
Now that we’ve gotten that business out of the way, how about we get this show on the road?
grass-green holiday by w_tre (Silvuh) – Light [20] / 1:54 / Classical / Easy Listening
Her Majesty by naotyu- (bmah) – Expert [66] / 2:13 / Dance2 / Progressive Breaks
Medley Rush #2 by Hideki Naganuma (Charu) – Very Challenging [62] / 3:54 / Purchased (2000 Credits) / Breakbeats
Taking Wing by Assertive Fluttershy (Xiz) – Tricky [34] / 1:30 / Dance / Happy Hardcore
We begin this (presumably) long-awaited writeup with grass-green holiday, a fairly nonchalant instrumental piece from w_tre, an artist with an apparent aversion to using anything but lowercase letters and underscores. As you can imagine from a file that resides in the lowest 20% of the difficulty spectrum, Silvuh ensures that the “easy” part of the song’s Easy Listening specification remains true throughout by employing a relatively light layering scheme that has contains only a few dashes of spice that arise in the form of a pervasive swing tempo and a bit of syncopation near the file’s conclusion. It’s calm, it’s easy, and– perhaps most importantly of all– it’s fun for everyone. Go and play it if you’re a fan of fun things.
Up next we have Her Majesty by naotyu-, an artist that despite having had songs on FFR since 2008 hasn’t earned all that much notoriety compared to other longtime musical mainstays. Could this soon change though? Could Her Majesty turn out to be such an incredible combination of musical ingenuity and stepfile mastery that both naotyu- and bmah are propelled into everlasting worship by the rhythm gaming community as a whole? It’s possible! The structure of the file itself is fairly straightforward, the likes of which peppered with the occasional color flourish for accenting purposes and climactic jumpjack chains that will probably catch you off-guard your first time through, unless of course you read this post beforehand. Or maybe you’re just so good at this game that you’ll get a sightread AAA and scoff at me and my close-minded views. Only one way to find out, right?
Our penultimate release of the week is Medley Rush #2 by Hideki Naganuma. Some of you beautiful readers out there might recognize Hideki as the man responsible for the equal parts funky and eclectic Jet Set Radio and Sonic Rush soundtracks. This release clocks in as the longest of this week’s batch, which shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering that the word “Medley” is right there in the title. Set your mind to autopilot as you tip-tap away at Charu’s lovingly crafted stepchart and enjoy a tasting of the many delights that Sonic Rush’s soundtrack has to offer, some pieces of which you may recognize thanks to them having already appeared on FFR beforehand. Some lengthier runs of 16th jumpstream and a few one-handed trills coupled with a protracted song length and higher than average note count make pulling off a good score on this difficult. Never fear though! I’m certain that you, the person that’s reading these words right now, will do fine…just so long as you can manage to cough up the required price of 2000 credits to unlock it first.
After two somewhat difficult releases have given our fingers a more than adequate workout, we wind things down and enter our cool down phase with the final release of the week, Taking Wing. If the artist name Assertive Fluttershy or the posting habits of the artist’s alter-ego megamon88 weren’t a big tell, Taking Wing is one amongst many in the ever growing library of My Little Pony remixes out there. Xiz, the file’s stepartist, employs a simplistic layering structure that serves as a subtle callback to the files of yesteryear. No color scheme switches, BPM gimmicks, hands, or sprawling song lengths can be found here. Instead, what you’re given is the basis to enjoy a highly energetic happy hardcore song without any of the fancier bells and whistles that might prevent emerging players from doing so. And in the end, isn’t that what this country was founded upon in the first place?
That’s it for this week! Since it’s been a little while since our last meeting, allow me to remind you that you can leave your thoughts, comments and criticisms in either the corresponding Songs of the Week thread on the forums or in the comments section of this post. Artists usually appreciate getting a pat on the back from somebody that enjoyed their work or some constructive pointers on how they can improve their work from somebody that wasn’t quite as fond of their release, especially if this is only their second in-game files, so why don’t you go and do so? Because you don’t feel like it? Because you don’t have an opinion? Because you thought that you could skip town and have all of your debt and ghosts somehow magically disappear, just like that? I don’t think so, pal. Keep your hands where I can see ‘em.
