Summary
In general, you cannot seem to catch a break.
Of COURSE you'd fall underground. Now you're stuck in a dingy shed and two deranged skeletons, one of which is clingy as hell and absolutely refuses to leave you alone.
(Or, uh, maybe clingy isn't the right descriptor for not letting you leave. Eh. Being captive never hurt nobody.)
...At least he's cute.
WOAH, WHO SAID THAT????
