While I'm usually pretty leery about signing up for RPs that have been under way for a while (or in this case have multiple seasons) because from my experience, Vets of the RP don't really want any business with the new guy, and just want to continue whatever interactions they had between themselves, I will say that you've piqued my interest. If there's a quick and dirty way to play catchup on the lore from Season 1, I'll give it a shot.
