VIRGO - Your purity will be called into question after a number of photographs of you in a not-so-sober or chaste state will surface.

Anyways don't worry too much about the fact they claimed to have been in two places at once. He will eventually crack under the pressure and confess, they always do. Your lucky obsessive hobby is books. Everyone is dead, but at least I still have my books; and time, all the time in the world.
