Gillies grabbed a plate, and put several slices of pumpkin bread on it. "If you're looking for food, try these."

        (OOC--sorry I didn't reply yesterday) Cali pulled back from Cadmar as he finally processed that Thomas had asked him something. "Hey, where'd he go?" he asked Cadmar.
        Re: Hugging — Miah, Tue Dec 13 17:44
        
        Miah wiped her face, and looked around for Maria. When she spotted Maria hiding behind her, she said, "I always forget about you being a cat."

        Derwin cheered. He grabbed Natasha in a hug. Turning to Cadmar and Maria, he gave another big grin. "This is Natasha! She gave me chrystals!"
        "Gah!" — ShatteredSanity, Fri Dec 16 17:44
        
        Natasha wasn't a very touchy-feel sort of person, and being hugged by someone who doesn't have any skin made the experience much more uncomfortable than it normally was for her. But, trying hard not... more

        One of the most awkward moments of his life, coming a close second to the time he had dived through the window and into that girl's room. I mean how has he supposed to know she was undressing, she... more

        "No. Now go." "I'll give you chocolate?" "As I said before, no. Now will you kindly go?" Frustrated, Agent Skorp kicked the door, then cursed as pain raced up her leg. "Well, why not? I /know/ you... more

        OOC: So the usual PPC time wibbly wobbly, then. — JulyFlame, Sat Dec 10 16:03
        
        Aha. Right. Shall keep that in mind for order, noting it here for Neshomeh. Your post Then LH's, then yours, then Shoe-anon, and all else that follows there.

        Agent Orken — Guvnor of Space, Sat Dec 10 16:25
        
        First, Thomas had dragged him here, insisting that it was polite and "professional" to show up at one's office Christmas party. Then, he had insisted that Orken buy gifts for all of his friends.... more

        "Eegh." — JulyFlame, Sat Dec 10 16:17
        
        July made a face as she saw the ghoul, and began to try scooting away from the food, hoping to not be noticed. Santa hats and expressions like that never meant good news, to her. "I think I just lost ... more

        Derwin turned to Sylvia with a big smile — Mister Shoebox, Sat Dec 10 17:42
        
        "Mmmf! Mf-" he gulped the food in his mouth."-Sorry. Pleased to meet you!" He said cheerfully. "I'm Derwin! You wanna cheeseball?" he asked, motioning to the platter. "We have plenty."
        Morgan frowned. — Huinesoron, Sat Dec 10 17:39
        
        "Whiskey," she mumbled. "I think... maybe not a good idea." She tried to focus on Colt. "So, do I know you yet? You're a little blurry right now, but your voice sounds familiar." (Meanwhile,... more
        "Yeah!" — JulyFlame, Sat Dec 10 17:50
        
        Colt grinned, and poured a shot for himself, which he promptly downed. "Couple years back! After all the macrovirus stuff and everyone went back in. I nearly shot you!" This got Colt an elbow to his... more

        ...was lightened slightly by Ilraen’s disheveled state. The Andalite was behaving like a fool, and no matter how well he liked this particular Andalite, well, seeing one covered in food and making a... more
        Derwin gave a somewhat embaressed smile. — Mister Shoebox, Sat Dec 10 18:06

        Ilraen sighed in relief and finally thought to wipe his mouth on the back of one hand while the partners talked. He frowned at the amount of chocolate that came away. He hadn't been that overtaken... more
        Morgan furrowed her brow. — Huinesoron, Sat Dec 10 18:30
        
        "You... shot me?" She blinked at Colt and held up her gun. "With a gun?" "Everyone /down/!" a woman's voice yelled, and the redhead who had been following Morgan around dove between her and Colt,... more
        Gerry rubbed the back of her neck. — JulyFlame, Sat Dec 10 18:41
        
        "I have no idea, and yes, that was," she grumbled. Colt was blinking in surprise, both arms up, before he properly processed that the strange woman had disappeared. "Uh. No. Nearly. But didn't."... more
        Morgan shook her head slowly. — Huinesoron, Sat Dec 10 18:46
        
        "There's something fishy going on here," she said, "and for once it's not Sea Devils. But did I hear someone mention chocolate-coated eggnog?"
        "Right there," Colt gestured. — JulyFlame, Sat Dec 10 19:01
        
        "And I think there's some at the snacks table too." "There better not be," Gerry said. "I really don't want to deal with anything strange tonight. At least, anything stranger than what's normal... more

        This Sylvia isn't my agent is she? Because if so, she's turned into a 15 year old blonde girl and is acting kind of OOC.
