Nope. 'Twas a good one, rife with the seeds of future banter.

[Meira]

Aaaaand we can now split into our two groups!

So... I love me some Pembleton...

But am thinking if he can't post by the end of this week (thread is really dragging, part from my unwanted hiatus and stuff) that we should have Jaidan come relieve Tesok (do a time skip thing or w/e)

Just to keep the ball rolling, I got other threads I'm looking forward to as well, but this one gotta end first!

So Imma put this up to a vote since there's three of us who're waiting. I'm voting for what I suggested. Clearly

Well, Meira and I are writing out a continuation of their separate preparations - Well, so far it's just her. I've had some real life stuff distracting me a bit, but I AM most of the way done with my reply! - but that's via PM, so I suppose the two needn't interfere with each other. We do the six hour timeskip, and off screen, we explain what happened in that six hours.  And given the way that plans are developing, Meira should have something to do, even if Tesok can't post.

So, I suppose I'm game for that?

[Meira]

Yeah I'll be able to keep Meira entertained on her own if need be. It's unfortunate but skipping seems like what we'll have to do to keep the thread going.

[Dutch]

Yeah... I know :C

But is k, there's still two more rounds for him to dive back into.

So then let's give Tesok until the end of the week, and see if he posts this weekend. If not, maik, post whenever you want relieving our dear dour lizard.

[Dutch]

Alright DreadPirateMike

Go ahead and have Jaiden come relieve le Tesok so we can keep this thread rolling

[DreadPirateMike]

Okay, so I owe all you guys a pretty huge apology. I hate leaving folks in the lurch, and I know I've done precisely that. On top of which, I'm doubly irritated at myself given that I was really looking forward to this as well.

Normally, I prefer to keep my personal problems personal, and I won't inflict an abundance of detail on you, but maybe some context is important this time. I think I've mentioned to all of you at some point that I've recently begun driving tour buses through Boston. Well, it can be pretty nerve wracking, between the driving, and the people and such, and it just feels like there's always some minor little mishap just when I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. On top of this, I'm in danger of getting my license downgraded in a little over a month if I can't get some stupid sleep study thing resolved, Rachel and I are scrambling to find some place to live before our lease runs out...and there's a bunch of little stuff as well. So, things are pretty stressful right now. And for a month and more, I've had this post for Meira sitting half done, but every time I sit down and try to add to it, it's just drek. Or maybe it just seems like drek. I have trouble telling sometimes when I've got a lot on my mind.

So, to give some point to all this rambling...I don't know what, if anything you've thought, but I didn't just blow you guys off out of hand. I probably should have put up an absence notice at some point, but I kept telling myself that dammit, one more day and I'll be able to sit down, concentrate, and crank out something. Honestly, it's been so discouraging I have trouble making myself visit the site at all most days. But I'm not gone, and I WILL be trying to come back soon. I just have one tour today, and I'm not driving, so maybe it'll be relaxing enough to leave me somewhat clear-headed.

Because this isn't just another obligation. This is something I've really enjoyed, and hope to continue enjoying, if I can just get out of my own head for awhile. So...keep a look out. I'm not sure HOW to jump back in just now, but I'll think of something.

[Meira]

Absolutely no worries! Believe me when I say that we totally get it! So don't fret about it. We'll figure it out when the time comes. We jumped ahead a little bit, but kept it vague so that you could jump back in if/when you wanted to.
