I’m Having an Old Friend for Dinner

Originally, I thought about writing this as if I was attending dinner at her house but then realized that …
Dinner Party

A Dinner with the Red Reaper
Assignment (3 stars)

I’m Having An Old Friend For Dinner..
I the anonymous host host am planning on inviting Blair to dinner this week. I am agonizing over what or should I say who to serve. Do I serve some brain food? or something a little more internal? What about desert? Does Blair enjoy blood pudding? Maybe a little Arm …

An Invitation for Spooksy
I have invited Spooksy for dinner, and I do hope he enjoys what I have cooked up! It has been a little quiet around here now that Walter is gone, but I’m managing! After losing both Walter and Victor almost back-to-back, it has definitely shaken up this apocalyptic Hell that …
