lol, all kinds of directions, that is ironic given the definition.
So.. I immediately read it as torTURous but saw a commend where someone looked up the difference then I realized I read it wrong. So… I now have it straight, or non-tortuous as the case may be. I still don’t have an exact story, but something will come to me. I will get in game and see what comes to mind. This could be fun.

Lol You totally crack me up! You got it. The story does not have to be that way you can just use the word once as well. But I have no doubt in my mind you will definitely use it correctly!
