Vortex, what a nub.

Vortex - Erk. That sounds like someone who would have been a nightmare to work with.

See, I don't get the arguing with Vortex at all. I mean, at all. I know you pretty well. Not super well, but well enough to know that I should be a little afraid of you. Which I am.

I gotta stop doing that.
