Tanya tapped her partner's chest playfully with one finger. The main thought in her mind was that she didn't want to spoil the mood. If taking pictures added to the festivity, well and good--but not everyone was of the same mind about them. "Mmm, if you want, but remember people are here to hav...

Re: Out of Character Chatter

Aww. Egil's trying so hard to make friends. I kind of want to give him my nomination chip.

Edit
It's either going to be Egil for trying to make friends, or Chevy for the sick burn.
