[@Apollosarcher]  I so would like to continue on with this roleplay (I'm not quite finished with my characters), but unfortunately, I do not think I have the time to give this roleplay the proper attention that it deserves.  I feel like that if I tried to stay around, I would only bog down the pace of the roleplay while you all wait for me to get up a reply.  I really hate to drop out because of Marius' relatively important role.  I really wish I could keep going, but unfortunately I just do not have the extra time at the moment.  I'm really sorry, :(
