lol okay. Well, if that's finalized, then let's go with the 'background character' idea and just have them fade out of existence [s]yess free mana prisms[/s]. I'll keep Keisuke around near the front for plot reasons, but otherwise it'll prob just be him, Bethany, and Meran around doing... Master stuff for the most part. Everyone else should be... Floating around or something. So for the sake of streamlining things (and because I am NOT backtracking to edit everything), I guess... We act as if nothing has changed, but just tend towards not referring to characters if they aren't relevant to any point of dialogue or whatnot. Should work and mebbe speed things up.
