StayFrosty98: Ooh, ooh, ooh! New emojis! ;( ;) :^)

MasterOfRevolver60: E-whats? What's with the semi-colons and brackets?

MariniMan: Honestly, I stopped following what the kids were into right around the time Pac-Man was a thing.

NurseBeccaOfYore: Aww… there's a little hug emoji. Here, Joseph. (hug)

StayFrosty98: That's the spirit, Becca. (hug)

AirForceDude1972: Lemme get in on that hugging action, you two. (hug)

MasterOfRevolver60: I think my machine is broken. All I'm seeing are words and symbols.

DoTheDeweyEdward: (facepalm) Oh lord.

NurseBeccaOfYore: :O

GalWithAGl0ck: Nope.

AirForceDude1972: Seriously, Joe!?

StayFrosty98: Really? It's not like I said Ken would be mauled by a flesh-eating monster or something. It's just… you know… what with the LA riots. I'm just thinking of his safety!

CoolGuyKenneth: Frost, I may slap you upside the head someday. You realize that, right?

StayFrosty98: -_- Uh-huh. Cause a black man hitting a white dude's gonna go over SOOOO well.

AirForceDude1972: So… how's it going, Jill?

GalWithAGl0ck: Eh, can't complain too much. Still working the dents out of my chair, though.

AirForceDude1972: Just won't let that one go, will ya?

GalWithAGl0ck: Maybe, maybe not. )

AirForceDude1972: Well. Perhaps a little wine and dinner between colleagues might sway you?

GalWithAGl0ck: Christopher Redfield, are you insinuating that you'd like to go on a, gasp, date?

AirForceDude1972: Maybe, maybe not. Only one way to be sure.

GalWithAGl0ck: :D

GalWithAGl0ck: Dammit. You're so adorable when you play coy like that.

AirForceDude1972: Only then? Aww… Guess I gotta keep working at it, my sweet Valentine.

GalWithAGl0ck: :) Okay, you've already won. No need to make me blush any more.

AirForceDude1972: I disagree. Your blush is too beautiful to hide.

awesker: Hate to interrupt whatever conversation you were having, but I'd like an explanation as to why Frost and Sullivan are being pulled away from each other AND why Burton is shouting unbecoming obscenities at his computer.

GalWithAGl0ck: Sorry, Captain. It's… been one of those days.

AirForceDude1972: All because of some new emojis.

awesker: I see. Well, meet in my office ASAP. We need to go over some changes to the Fire Safety plan.
