[@LadyRunic] Not sure how I restored your hope, but okay?  You're welcome, I guess?  ^.^;;  Glad you liked it.  Shame I never got to use most of my ideas, but eh.  Oh, by the way -- if you want a messenger, I recommend a sprite or a pixie -- annoying yes, but they will probably be able to wiggle past that shield somehow.  They're like cockroaches, or mosquitoes -- everywhere, and nearly impossible to get rid of.  ^.~

I do appreciate the offer, but I doubt I will return.  Given that I'm reluctant to leave in the first place giving in to that temptation is only going to make things harder, possibly for everyone.  Still, I'm flattered.  <3  And I think I may lurk on the sidelines, if you don't object.
