Kinda wondering- how are ANY of us going to meet up and interact?
At all?

Because we're going to die out if the majority don't start talking to other controlled characters.

One- everyone else seems to be in a forest so far, and Arget, you show up in the snow? Mate, that's a helluva long ways away, not to criticize. 

Second, I made it pretty obvious of my whereabouts- standing in the open on the top of a hill in a clearing of the forest. Then I summon a storm. Obvious, no? But there is no mention, which suggests the big magical storm is too far away to be noticed.

How we all gonna talk if we're days away from each other?
