I also prefer Discord. I have a Skype too, but only use it on my phone. The random delay in sending messages was fine, but after a while Skype just started freezing constantly on my laptop, so I removed it from there. I'm game for either one, but yeah.
Glad we're not using real photos for our characters, by the way. I like to stay away from those.
I might play a pair of siblings, by the way. Is that cool with you guys?
