[@Narcotic Dollie] I'm glad that most of the players are excited about the Weatherman arc.  But, I didn't design Vern for it and didn't know about the murder at the ball until after the fact.  If I was unattached at present I would probably opt out.  However, I'm six pages into a collab with sakurasan and that begins with the shooting event.  This puts me in an awkward position, especially since she and I have been playing collab-tag for a couple days now.

This is my first serious attempt at roleplaying in the romance/slice-of-life genre.  I have serious doubts about my ability to handle this... change of setting, in anything resembling a competent manner.  That is to say, I'm not sure that I am able to learn the writing skills that apply now that these new stresses are in play on our characters quickly enough to avoid turning Vern into an embarrassing combination of tropes and stereotypes.

If sakurasan opts in then I will follow suit and do my best.  If she opts out then I will as well.

((And, in case sakurasan should read this, I didn't use the mention feature because I want you to feel no pressure.  Choose based on your preference for your character.  Please don't make your decision based on mine.))
