What We're Looking For

Only emotes will be accepted, though what style they are in or whether or not they are animated is up to you. The emote can be as detailed as you wish, meaning it can follow the story to the T, or it could just be a little emote `Zikes with its beard on fire. The full story can be found below.

The Story

=mbqlovesottawa and I were in a Starbucks waiting in line to order our drinks, and she was playing with a little dragon lighter I'd given her recently.

Every once in a while she'd bring the lighter toward my face, as if she intended to set my beard on fire. I, of course, tried to "play it cool" and kept a face the whole time, thinking she'd never actually do it.

Next thing I know I hear "oh shit!" and she's smacking my chin, trying to put the fire out. I could smell burnt hair, but I tried to keep my cool and hold the face, thinking it couldn't have been anything serious since I didn't feel any heat or anything.

Well, the fire didn't do any serious damage, but there wasn't a mirror around for me to see. =mbqlovesottawa said she could kinda see how it got burned, but I just pulled out a comb and combed it a bit and it went right back to normal.

Nice to know my beard looks recently singed 24/7

The best representation of =mbqlovesottawa is to give her the "cat-like" ears, though they're not absolutely necessary.
