I'm mentioning [@floodtalon] and [@Lmpkio] but this applies to everyone.

You were all given a chance to create a branching slice of life universe and see things from a less violent and rapey perspective. When it seemed by all accounts that the vast majority had no interest in going, it was used as a means to write off Miyu by Gecko.

Given Gecko's pre-disposition to axing his characters, make of that what you will. 

Now if enough characters want to take up Helena's offer and go through then it'll be possible for them to still have this slice of life universe. 

But if people have the sheer [i]gall[/i] to spit on good will and spurn the efforts to placate the group's differing interests after rejecting it, then don't expect these sorts of gestures to continue cropping up. This is not, and has never been, an attempt to entrap you into throwing away your characters. Windel may love his despair but he has more respect for the effort put into making and playing characters then some who've come and gone. 

So for the last time. If you want to use some of your characters in a less violent setting, here's your opportunity assuming enough people want it. Otherwise, it's a means to take your characters permanently out of play with a happily ever after.
