Very nice, Ashgan, although now I can't help but to wonder how Jillian came to learn this Orphid's spell... which is furthermore a compound spell, which makes it all the more impressive. I've added the link to the OP.

And yeah, I know - and mentioned earlier, I think - that it's not easy or even productive to play as an unconscious character, and I [I]was[/I] actually working on a post to advance events on that side of the story some more and end on a time-wise loosely defined point that I hoped would allow Jillian to wake up and rejoin the world of the living, but then sartorous found the RP and requested permission to rejoin it... and since his character was in the same scene as Jillian and Gerald and is thus affected by the same progression of time, I can't move ahead significant periods of time without knowing what his character is doing.
...We haven't heard from him since he announced his return, though, and it's been almost a week already, despite my asking for him to make his continued presence known. If this is the kind of interest we can expect, I may not be willing to continue to wait for him for much longer. So once again, sartorous/Ink: show us that you are actually interested in the RP enough to at least check the OOC thread regularly after trying to return to it.

Everyone else, please don't contact him directly and urge him to check this thread or anything. I want to test his actual dedication to the RP, and if it is truly this lacking, he may not be welcome anymore.
