The Roof, Wednesday evening

[tigerundercover]

Raven had a very light schedule in the middle of the week these days -- which was good, because it turned out that taking correspondence courses was much more work than she'd expected.

Is at the shallow end of the typing pool
All cloak, no dagger
Just smoke and swagger
