[@Omni5876] I had no idea you've been dealing with this heavy of a burden this whole time... I can't imagine how terrible it must feel right now, but like [@deia876lat], I'm here if you want to talk.

Also, this comes a bit late, but I just want both of you to know that how things ended with Broken Skies is no one's fault but my own. I started the roleplay with a lot of half-baked ideas and simply couldn't decide what to set in stone when the time called for it. Moreover, I couldn't decide where to go after we left off, whether it was to keep the focus on our characters at the time or move to a new setting with new characters. There was probably nothing wrong with having both, but for some reason I thought it had to be one or the other and in the end, it was my own indecision that stalled the roleplay. I think you guys have faced similar challenges before judging by the gaps in activity here, but the difference is that the both of you overcame them. I failed. That's all there is to it.

[@deia876lat], I promise you, you did [i]not[/i] mess things up. You were a driving force for the roleplay and I'm grateful for it. Grateful still for continuing it here with [@Omni5876]. I'm glad my ideas didn't go to waste and I deeply regret not saying all this so much sooner. I've actually been meaning to for a while now, but just kept putting it off and putting it off and, well, at some point it felt like it was too late. It was only out of idle curiosity that I came here to check how things were going and after reading up on some old posts, I realized I should have just spat it out months ago.

Now that I'm here, I guess I should just lay out the rest of what I've been putting off. Bit late for it, I know, but you're both free to use my characters as your own if you want and I came up with a reason for why medieval things are still hanging around despite all the advanced tech going on: any weapon, piece of armour or clothing that is repeatedly imbued with ki over time will eventually inherit a portion of their owner's power. This means that ancestral equipment would be particularly powerful, even in the hands of an ordinary person, mage or ki user without a focus on imbuement, but they'll lose their stored power if neglected for too long, so at some point they'll need to be 'recharged' in a sense.

I have a few more final notes, but I'd like to send em through pm to you [@deia876lat], if you don't mind. What with you being the gm and all. On that note, I should probably also mention that I've considered rebooting Broken Skies. Many times actually, I was a bit torn between doing that or working on my new roleplay, but after everything I've read here, it wouldn't be right to reboot and ignore everything you've built up with Jewel of the Skies. I'm also now committed to working on my new roleplay, so with all things considered, I just wanted to say that it's all you from hereon out [@deia876lat]. You are the captain now.
