Okay, I'll fast forward us in my next post, which means we'll terminate all existing timelines. However, you can complete them whenever you want, but you don't have to. Hopefully this will breathe some life into things. Perhaps this segment was just unfortunate; people disappeared while I waited for them to react, which in turn caused the sudden decline in activity! See, I'm smart. I also might reconsider bringing in some new people to play either Helston friends or Academy friends of ours, if some of our existing cast doesn't return soon. JJ already voice an idea of how to do it, but I'm curious what the rest of you think about it and how it could be done. [b]Edit[/b] This is what we'll do regarding our current cast and activity: the protagonists use the displacement device to teleport away from the facility, but it's only calibrated to carry a certain amount of mass, so everyone will not end up in the same location. Based on everyone's recent activity, they'll end up closer to or further away from the Tree of Life. This way, I can exclude those who are inactive, but still give them a shot at coming back. So, this happens with my next post that fast forward us to the Tree of Life. And please don't be offended by where I put your character.
