It’s trapped on a floppy tho this is some dark shit it has been denied its purpose forever bound to this obsolete storage
am i glad it’s in there and we’re out here
people reading fantasy novels ask “why did the ancient ones seal the evil away for ten thousand years instead of just killing it” but then we go ahead and do this shit
We have learned nothing from every fantasy novel ever O.O

THE BAGEL POWERS ARE WAY TOO MUCH FOR THIS WORLD
It worked once before when I needed to hear from Disney so I’m doing it again.
