I bought it today! 'Cause I realized that even though I want to keep working here if if I possibly possibly can this is the last day I'm officially signed up to work as of now so I might as well buy what I can when I have the chance so I bought it and I will render it unto you at the first available opportunity so yeeeeee!

Some days hence, there was begun in the city of New York, a society of magicians...
