The losses incurred at the Battle of Cable Beach Caravan Park weight heavy on our hearts. Our thoughts are with you in your time of grief. Major bad mojo vibe at the possessor of the amulet of azure brilliance.
Who steals a bottle of sunscreen? Honestly? It’s almost like you were accosted by a gang of rampaging monkey tourists. Shiny things, camera, sunscreen. WTF?
That gallant Dovo! We’ll take care of her, son. Don’t you worry a bit.
