I am SO INCREDIBLY HYPE TO DROP SAWYER ON YOU ALL AKDHKASJDHSKA. My favorite part is PROBABLY the scene where he asks you to go steady (AND all the new outfits. We should make Horsemike take his pants off more I think.)

 Plus - the poll for Which Character Should Be Romanceable Next continues to roll over at the main site (check the right-hand sidebar)! Currently Horsemike and Kennedy are almost neck and neck, pun fully intended.

And, as always, if and when you find any bugs, popping them in the Bugfinder General thread is a huge help! Also, let me know how the rebalanced feelings weights feel/if you're careening into anyone's arc way faster than normal/the pacing's all off!

Have fun romancing and de-pants-ing, murderfuckers!!! <33
