Let's play Stand Guard v4.0

[Spooniest]

UNMARKED SPOILERS AHEAD

As I said, smurf the Veldt, but I will stop to pick up Stray Cat because who wouldn't?

I felt it was important to get this out of the way as quickly as possible, and if I'd kept the nametags in it would've become unmanageable.

Another example of Kefka being fun to write for. "Stay alert" is from Metal Gear Solid.
