Online, you go by the chumhandle auralGruehaha, because sometimes, everything sounds awful and gives you a headache."

618 - "Yeah? You just had to sorta, sneak around your house and nab it from the front stoop." its kinda ominous that elis lives in the barn separate from the house, but elis also implied that this is their other room in some sense
