He was once arrested for punching a sex worker in the face so I'll assume he's running as a Republican.

In case you're wondering, this adventure module was a lot of copy pasting, making "actors" with stats (and vehicles), adding gear, images (that were more optimized for the web), maps, and links. It was about 20-24 hours worth of work total.

You are beautiful on the inside
You are innocence personified
And I will drag you down and sell you out
Run away
I am cold like December snow
I have carved out this soul made of stone
And I will drag you down and sell you out
Embraced by the darkness, I'm losing the light
Encircled by demons I fight
You are innocence personified
And I will drag you down and sell you out
Run away
I am cold like December snow

And I will drag you down and sell you out
