Ajax and Enid just wanted a quiet place to fool around. Unfortunately, it looks like Crackstone's crypt is a busy place, what with their botany teacher and the local barista dragging some unconscious girl into the crypt. An unconscious pigtailed stranger bleeding from a forehead gash that Enid's wolf is howling at the mere sight of.
