All the guesses for Stalking the Angel (from three people, ahahaha) are in!

Congratulation to silverymare  - winner at 27/45 correct!  Due mostly to an incredibly accurate run on the Second and Third Movements.  P-chan, hit us with your prompts!  You can throw anything at me, Kaori-chan agreed to TezRyo only.  :D  (Or you could prompt two TezRyos, nothing ( Read more... )
