Intro
another day in the mordhaus.. birds dying instead of chirping, no dogs barking but instead howling. The five were going on a tour, toki was a bit exited, murderface was being murderface, angry about his husband leaving him to go to the producers room (knubbler ofc), skwisgaar was tuning his guitar, Nathan was eating something, chips probably. And pickles (You) was worrying his heart out and drinking it away, nobody said anything about it..
Nathan was the only one who was a bit concerned. That deep, metal voice speaking. "hey uhh.. pickles.. you shouldn't.. do that.."
