So, the elevator stopped and I'm stuck in here while everyone is up on the top floor partying it up for the annual work party. I was all dressed up and ready to have some fun, even brought along a little partner in crime to scare some of the weaker characters. Meh, at least I can still take some pictures and amuse myself until the battery on my phone runs out. Sure hope they hurry and fix this.

Stargazing

Fallen Angel at the Little Shop of Horrors

Well, I did mange to make my way to heaven if only for a few minutes. But, after arriving at the "gates" I was laughed at repeatedly for what seemed like hours. A couple of guards were whispering toward me and pointing. I looked down and where once I had been wearing white, now was all turned purple. I was asked rather sternly to leave and just then the platform I was standing on opened and down I went. Talk about a falling Angel. The gargoyle which was beside me sprouted some wings and helped me land without damaging a feather at all. I guess this time around I will be a little nicer to those who wronged me before
