Chapter 5:
• Girls smoked all of the idle weed lol

• Dancing, lol the girls started dancing nude??, the king dances with her
• Knights game, Benji challenges rory, if benji loses gets chased nude hahaha, rory loses he must get a divining
• One jumped in for a punch, king calls for the pretty one and rory looks at six (sickeningly adorable!!!!!), Four goes for a kiss, Six literally picked him up and fell with her on top of him, I think he was actually pissed
