I wouldn't have it, man. My best mate is practically my brother, man; if he did something like that, I'd go fucking nuts! I was angry enough when he flunked uni, so a cult? Bah! They're nothing to my unholy anger!! I've talked my mate out of crazier things before and I could talk him out of this!
Crazy cult, my arse... wait till the coven hears about this!
