I’ll join in the beatdown.
Jakob
Unmuting for joining.
Casey
If I’m in the chat, then I’m in the ass-kicking too.
Rory
I know who deserves one.
Anders
I regret this entire thread.
Except for the you-joining part, Casey.
Nico
Still down for it.
Anders
Very sweet. Very unnecessary.
Casey
Thanks for adding me.
Rory
We needed to add you so we could invite you to the gingerbread house party.
Casey
Oh, that sounds fun. When, where, and what can I bring?
Owen
My house. I’ll send you the address. We were thinking next Wednesday evening? I checked the Stone and Vine schedule, and you’re off.
Rory
Candy, if you want, but there will be plenty if you don’t.
Owen
So it’s a yes?
Casey
It’s a yes.
