Moving to Kafrica
As the multiple civil wars in Kafrica raged, Blimp Drimp, not wanting to serve in any of the Kafrican bloodshed, seeing it as disgraceful and irrelevant to his cause, began to work multiple jobs in Zokesian Restaurants, Hotels and notably working at GreyStone for a short period before being fired for attempting to sabotage the portfolios of prominent members of Stahl Sieg and the Zokesian Military.
