Reluctantly retired roleplayer.

Except when I'm not.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?

You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.

Several weeks had passed since the random Hype attack in Nathan Phillips Square. When the Hype had been rendered unconscious the police were able to move in with those who assisted with the arrest quickly departed from the scene. The sickly Hype had later died in custody, his fever reaching record highs as he nearly took the whole police station with him in a gravitational swell. Since that day several other Hypes with similar symptoms had sprung up throughout the city and almost each time caused as much mayhem and panic as the first. Unable to risk any more devastation or loss of civilian lives, H.E.L.P. had been forced to order a quarantine over Toronto. Calling in several squads of S.H.I.F.T. agents, H.E.L.P. wasn't allowing anyone to enter the city and those already instead were forced to stay there. Patrols constantly circled the outside of the area to discourage anyone from trying to escape and endanger the rest of the country with the strange disease.

From his apartment, Zeke stared down at the streets below. Empty despite the great weather for late October, Zeke could hardly believe this had happened. His home was essentially under a police state now and the only people truly at risk were Hypes like him. Shaking his head, he growled before kicking his coffee table over and flopping down in his recliner. Zeke had been cooped up for at least the past two weeks and was beginning to go stir crazy in the small one bedroom apartment. The glare of the descending sun on his TV screen gave the young man the urge to go take part in the night life as he decided to get dressed.

After a quick shower and finding some clothes that at least smelled somewhat fresh, Zeke grabbed his jacket and headed downstairs. Climbing onto his motorcycle, he gunned the engine and headed for the closest club. Even when the end of the world could possibly be around the corner, it wouldn't stop people from throwing their money away for alcohol and the loose promise of no strings attached sex he noted as the club was perhaps livelier than he had ever seen it before. Strobe lights flashed from the dance floor as Zeke pushed his way towards the bar, finally making it he grabbed a stool and waved to the bartender.

"What'll it be bud?"

"Rye and ginger, double shot." Zeke called over the music as he turned to scope the crowd.
I had a post written down here trying to explain my feelings on why I felt that rebooting is a bad idea, but I'm really not sure how successful it would have been. I'm frustrated by what I see, a willingness to nix all the development we've worked for just for a clean slate that we will no doubt fill up with the same problems we already have.

Call me jaded, but I don't think this is the right move to deal with the problems we have.

And no, this isn't because I'm so attached to the work we've done that I refuse to let it go. It's because I really can't get behind a hard reboot because that says to me we will always be susceptible to another hard reboot if things don't go our way again.

This might be churlish, but if we do reboot I wont be part of it.

Cheers, Sam.

Terms aren't equal and I don't believe Sam is being either. As with Sam, I won't be submitting any characters for the reboot RPs. Not because I've had characters developed over the course of the last few years but because I just don't feel my playing style mixes with KL's GMing style anymore.
Alright everyone! I've made a decision to try and keep this going. I'm going to post an update tomorrow probably doing a small time lapse and then we'll go from there.
I may have to drop out. Won't know until after my job interview tomorrow though.
I'm going to be straight with you guys.

I am definitely disappointed that we haven't had any IC posts in 21 days. I'm not blaming anyone on this as my lack of activity certainly didn't help anything. Now while you are correct in that I have finished school for the next four months, I have managed to land an interview for a full time summer position. And while I would love to log in and tell you guys I have time to run this over the summer, I won't know until after this interview if I actually have time for Memento Mori. It really does suck, and I apologize to all of you who submitted characters and are eagerly awaiting for this to continue.

Worse case scenario is I close this RP, but I am going to keep the original on Iwaku open and running if anyone is interested in joining over there. Best case scenario is I pick this one up and keep it going. But as I said above until I find out about this job and find a new apartment I really don't know what my time constraints will be like this summer.
Well I think the point that Sam is making here is that if people wanted the RP to continue they would just simply post in the IC as opposed to sit in the OOC and say "I want to post but..." I mean if enough of us post in the IC obviously the RP will continue.

That said, I unfortunately feel no inspiration with my character what so ever. If this were to continue I would like to be part of it, however I have a few things to work out in real life first. In the middle of hunting a new apartment and I have a job interview for a full time summer position on Monday. So I don't want to make too many commitments without first ensuring I will have time to hold them up.
@Mr Allen J I have no classes on Monday and Tuesday so I will try to do an update then.
Yeah it's just until next Thursday then I'm free for 4 months. Sorry everyone for the hiatus!
@BlackSam3091 Checkmate
@Hillan Meh, I think Thorn would be better suited to take on the Heretic.
