I swear, other OOC's grow, but ours freakin' explodes. Will have long moments of silence than, bam, 4 pages of OOC chatter in a might. We are a bomb, an big OOC chatter bomb.

Also, in regards to shipping, I totally am not going to torture poor Aiden by having him fall for Cynthia only to get his heart crushed when Sable takes her(as far as I see, they are the better fit). No, I'd never do that. Haven't even considered it. 
Aiden is my only particularly shippable character at the moment. Xavier is too young and Revan isn't really interested in romantic pursuits. So it would be cruel of me to do that to him., utterly, earth shatteringly, cruel.
