I'm sorry to hear that, Wayne. I hope you feel better soon. As for playing Thomas, I don't really like the idea of two of the characters that I control being 'partners'. I think that's... really, really boring. I'd be roleplaying with myself. I've also never liked the idea of controlling another person's character. I'll do it if I have to, but I'd like first ask if anyone else would be interested in controlling him.
