Player After Action Reports (AARs)

"Honestly, today was a good day for me. I feel bad for the victims, but I'm going to go have a drink with some new friends." - Annette

"A spirit that invoked depression to the point of suicide is unfortunate business, but thankfully this was the correct team for the job, and Pasiphae and Annette handled the majority of non-interpersonal work in ways I could not. Excellent job team, I could not be more proud to have worked alongside you." - Rosalia 32
