With so much happening, I feel it is necessary to post an update about the current state of the cast. 

There are 2 people who will be out of commission for a few weeks, maybe even more, whom I will have to work around in-narrative how their characters become inactive. Or something of the sort. Probably gonna be forcibly left behind by the main party until I can bring them back in. That leaves us with a total of 6 left. As of now, I will be waiting for [@ERode] to return before starting the next string of events, though feel free to continue to discuss and search around the place in the IC until then. I do love reading all of the motivations and tiny self-thoughts hidden within the posts. Hopefully their character will make a definite choice by that point, or any of yours for that matter, otherwise I'd have to make one myself... and we don't want that now. :^D 

Oh, and [@Eklispe] this is my obligatory tag for you, checking if you're still here with us as it is nearing the 1 week mark since your last post. I know you're active around the forums, so it's okay if you decide this isn't for you anymore. I'd just like to know, so I can plan things here accordingly.
