Well then, let's hear what people would prefer, [@Rhaevnn Xeno], [@Mercinus3] and [@yoshua171] specifically, since you are the ones that would be immediately affected by the decision: do you want to continue your characters' story imminently, freeing them from their reliance on encountering Aemoten's group but potentially (not assuredly) missing this particular opportunity to join them, or would you rather continue waiting? I agree with Shien that skipping to next week is quite a stretch; I needn't remind you that I keep track of what goes on everywhere IC, not just in the immediate vicinity of the characters, and would have to pretty much simulate an entire week's worth of events everywhere... and then retroactively change all of those events as the characters still in the past do whatever they end up doing. Even without something as jarring as the future-occupying characters being in a place that turns out to be destroyed by present-occupying characters, circumstances can change in a [I]lot[/I] of ways. I'd really prefer that all characters stay relatively close to occupying the same time so I won't have to deal with paradoxes and the like. Still, considering how exhausted the characters are, it'd probably skip at least to the next morning. Where to go from there, well... that'd be up to the characters.
