AshlyNo. It's not Scott. Scotty's okay. It's just that ever since we came up here, things have been a little too tense. All these crazy things going on. And look at that window- we're gonna have to pay for that window now.
Why have you disturbed our sleep, awakened us from our ancient slumber? You will die. Like the others before you. We will take you one by one. All of you ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-
Well, the guy that's renting it says it's an old place, little run down, but it's right up in the mountains- totally secluded. Best part is, we get it so cheap.
Okay, okay- then to a wild week-end in a wonderful cabin with good friends, provided we live that long.
