Whether you’re an animal lover, an animal rights activist, an RP enthusiast, or just love to dress up, Zapatero has invited us all to have one of those “Impossible IRL” experiences that are so easy to come by in virtual space.

  1. Yordie bursts into song:
    “I love a parade, the tramping of feet,
    I love every beat I hear of a drum.
