"Hmm? Um, not really. I just started dating Cali. Not sure if you know him... How about you?" Cadmar didn't notice how awkward Thomas looked.

"Hmm? Um, not really. I just started dating Cali. Not sure if you know him... How about you?" Cadmar didn't notice how awkward Thomas looked.
...grinned. “I’m having a blast! I get to sing loudly without anyone complaining, eat food that’s terrible for me and the best part is, no missions! Also, presents. I don’t know how many people are actually gonna give me one, but yay! You got me one.”
He was quiet for a couple seconds, but then blurted out a question he had been wanting to ask since he had decided that the fact Cadmar had used to be male didn’t matter.
“So… you single?”
"Hmm? Um, not really. I just started dating Cali. Not sure if you know him... How about you?" Cadmar didn't notice how awkward Thomas looked.
and he knew it. With three ‘Sues against one agent, things were looking dire. It didn’t help that they were all wielding blasters and the lone agent on the field was armed with a butter knife. With apprehension, the agent attacked one of the Sues, but was cut to shreds by a hail of laser fire. “Okay, you got me,” Gaspard said as he dumped his cards on the table. “Some game, eh?”
The intern he was playing against, a 15-year old blonde girl named Sylvia, scooped the remaining PPC game cards into the central pile. “Yeah,” she replied, shuffling the deck. “That was a lucky hand I got though. If you had played Agent Entropy and had a Noble dragon active while Jaycacia was out, you might have lasted longer.”
“I’ll be sure to do that next time,” Gaspard said as he observed the rest of the party. “Jeez, how long does it take to go out and get some chocolates? It’s been ten minutes since we sent Philip and Ben on the snack run.” He took the closest edible looking thing and put it in his mouth. He promptly spat it out. “Ouache! Qu’est-ce que c’est que ça?” he exclaimed. A piece of chocolate-covered clam lay on the floor. “Someone has some really...odd tastes here.”
“You don’t say,” said Sylvia as she took a swig of hot chocolate. “Oh look, here they come and... what.”
Gaspard swivelled in his seat and watched as two other interns, Philip and Ben, struggled to haul a heaping plate of various chocolate-covered goods over to the table. The boys dropped the plate onto the table with a sharp CLACK!
“Feast on this,” said Ben as he seated himself and grabbed several chocolate-covered cheese balls. “Had a hard enough time trying to get this over here, people kept grabbing stuff off the plate. Must of thought we were waiters or something.”
“Are you sure this is good to eat? It looks... questionable,” muttered Gaspard as he inspected a chocolate-covered crab leg he found on a chocolate-covered tuna. “Is there a new seafood theme I’m not aware of?”
“Dunno but chocolate is chocolate is chocolate. I’m not complaining,” spat Philip through a mouthful of choco-snail.
“I’m not so hungry anymore,” said Gaspard as he pushed the plate away from him.
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.
...gulped. “Uh. I'm single. That’s why I was… never mind. What’s this present you dudes got me?” He didn’t realize that his face was turning red.
"Weeeell. That WOULD be telling, but since you got me something too, I suppose I can give a hint." Cadmar looked around sneakily. "Have you ever played Fallout 3? It's what your friend gives you." Cadmar smiled. "So, any hints for me?"
...thought it over. “It was a boost to your strength, I think? What was that item called…” he snapped his fingers. “Grognak the Barbarian? You have a real one of those! Dude, that’s awesome.” He grinned.
Natasha nodded, "Yeah, I don't really like parties all that much either. Too much going on at once. The only reason I actually came was because Sylvia wanted to go and ,well, I um, I didn't want to be alone in the RC."
Sylvia, who was still wandering around and taking everything in, stopped at the brightly decorated Christmas tree. Smiling, she began to examine one of the ornaments, turning it around in her hands. Sylvia was very tempted to take the shiny sphere, but this being the PPC, she didn't know whether it would explode if she did.
"Miah!" Maria cried in joy as she tackled the other agent. "Merry Christmas, Miah!"
"Ahgh! Glomped again! Um, I meant--Hi Maria. Merry Christmas to you, too. This party sure is heating up isn't it?"
"Yeah, it is. It's good to see you again, it's been a while! We've all missed you guys!" Maria got up and helped Miah up as well. "Oh, and I can give you your gift now too!" She reached into a pocket on her coat and pulled out a wig with long, silver, slightly sparkly hair. "This is something I made out of hair Eva dropped on me, Mark, and Cadmar's first mission together." Maria smiled wider and handed it over.
"I can understand that. Being alone on the holidays bites the big one, it really does."
He took on a thoughtful expression, and nodded to himself. "Right then..." He suddenly reached into his pocket and removed a switchblade, which he passed to Natasha. "Merry Christmas! No feeling lonely today, understand?"
Skorp quite literally snorted awake, wondering when she'd drifted off. Chocolate-covered sleep pills, of all things. Who on Earth had come up with that one?
"Finally, you woke up, now allow me to fill your cup."
Skorp blinked, confused. "Poet! You came after all!"
"It got lonely back in the RC, and I got rather barsy."
"Making up words is just lazy. Now shut up and go celebrate!" She then turned, to face the nearby folks.
"Oh, hi there!"
