Gilly is a pretty great nickname! We don't call Ripley Ripy, but we do call her Ripple and Ripper, which is often the most appropriate nickname! 😄

Ripley has the exact same bowl!

I mean. It was right there in the fine print:

Side effects of this rain spell may include: living lightning, frogs, cats and/or dogs, rogue tentacles*, and upper level flooding.

*Rogue tentacles may be capable of opening random portals, as well as tickling innocent bystanders.

I seem to recall that other time started out as "only rain" and "not a big deal" until the tentacle incident made it a very big deal.

Okay, well now we're talking! Let me just consult the oracles...

Not if the words aren't in the right order.

Also, I think there's something about a sacrifice in the fine print.

Without saying the incantation, obviously.

Existential dread.

That's some serious dedication to a theme. Also the stuff of nightmares for some people, I imagine.
