Unfortunately, this IS a drop post.

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

And a big one at that.

Those of you that have been following my journal already know about this dilemma, and I came to a conclusion. I could fret over it for another few days, but I'd like my hair not to gray prematurely and no one should be so anxious over RP.

I love this game a lot, way too much, but after a bit of introspectiveness I've realized I still need to cut back. I did that drop before, but it was meant to be larger and really should have been. Then I wussed out. I can't do that now. I'm getting burnt out, and that's not good. Not when I'm so attached to this game.

So I feel like I'm cutting out a portion of my life when I do this, but I'm going to be dropping Callisto (givemeoblivion), Yousuke (guyslikegames), and Matt (whohitreset).

I've talked to a lot of those this drop would be affecting most, but maybe not all of you. I apologize especially to those to whom this came without warning.

I will keep everyone around for plans they made during the day, unless someone wants to cancel them (which I perfectly understand). Matt and Yousuke will vanish, while Callisto will be killed by Homura come nightshift.

This is so very hard to do, but I do it now in the hopes that something like this won't happen again in the future.

As much as I will miss Matt and especially Callisto, you gotta do what's best for you. <333333333

I know I'm probably dropping the characters everyone else likes most, but... -_-

<3 Thank you.

[girlsandgadgets]

I agree with Ang- you have to do what you have to do. They will be missed!

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

[blackberet.livejournal.com]

Yousukeeeeee. ;__; I really enjoyed him, and I'm sorry my characters got the chance to thread with him. But if this lowers your stress level, it's definitely a good call.

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry for dropping him. -_- I want to play so many people, and I just overdid it.

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

I knew this was coming, but...damn. I'm going to miss them. :\

*hugs*

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

Keman still has his roomie? ^^; You'd think he would have been rid of him by now.

*hugs back*

[colortheory.livejournal.com]

♥ He does. And that makes him happy! He likes his roomie.

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

[zalia.livejournal.com]

Awwww, they will be missed, but you have to do what's best for you *hugs*

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

[liveforthispart.livejournal.com]

Awww, Lauren :[ I'm going to miss all three of them very much. Kanji will miss his more abusive senpai. But I understand. You had a lot of characters, and you've got to do what you've got to do. I hope you'll be more comfortable with the lower number of characters to keep an eye on. As long as you're still in the game ♥

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

I'm so sorry for making the P4 cast even smaller. T_T I enjoyed my time with him, and your Kanji is still awesome. ♥ I could never totally leave... baaaw...

WAT YOU STEALING MY FAKE THUNDER?

[thebigkaboosh.livejournal.com]

Oh man, I am going to miss them. I don't know Yousuke, but I've followed Matt and Callisto since forever, and you wrote them beautifully. AT LEAST THERE IS STILL SAI.

But if it eases things up on your end, lovey, then full steam ahead. ;3;

I keep wanting to delete this whole post and say "NO, I TAKE IT BACK! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!" But I know that this is really for the best. When it came down to choosing, it seemed like the biggest reasons for keeping them involved making other people happy rather than myself. While I hate to let others down, sometimes you have to be selfish when it comes to this sort of thing.

[thebigkaboosh.livejournal.com]

Well if the reason for keeping them was making other people happy, then yeah, it's the wrong reason. You gotta take care of yourself first! And it's a game, it shouldn't be like, this huge pinnacle of frustration for you. Have fun with it! And if you miss them there's always Cod. :D

[notachick.livejournal.com]

;A; Roomie! Mori will miss you!

But I understand. I saw your journal and figured it might be these that were going. Don't feel bad about it, Lauren. After all, your health > RP, yes? Yes♥ I'm glad you're staying in the game though~

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

I will miss Mori as a roomie! DX *squeezes*

T_T ♥ Thank you. And Sai needs more time with Okita. :c

[forgot-it-all.livejournal.com]

*squeezes back* :( He will be sad when he goes into his room and Yousuke is not there.

♥~ Well, Okita's free all day? I didn't sign him up anywhere that I know of, if only because I was...gone during the sign-up post and missed that boat by a longshot. |D

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

Baw. T_T My heart hurts...

Sai is free next shift and third~

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Sai's 18? Or no? Because Okita definitely wants his shower, but I can speed him through for either shift. |D

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

Seventeen, sadly. -_- Just shy. He's scheduled to bother Arty fourth. It's tradition. We can do third shift?

[notachick.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to me! o/ Third shift in the arts and crafts room, yes?

...oh god that icon. /rolls over and dies

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

Sure thing! Arts and crafts is something Sai can do.

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

And something Okita pretends he can do. 8D

[ahappylie.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I fail. Third shift is lunch not A&C. 8D

[idontregret.livejournal.com]

LUNCH IS GOOD TOO! XD;

[murasaki-kaze.livejournal.com]

8D WOO! WE WIN!

[kingside]

*huuuuuuuugs* Hopefully it goes without saying (e-especially by this post, why am I so late D|) that we understand and those three will be missed. So. ;; *huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugs* ♥♥♥ Ilu, bb, and I hope that this all goes AS PLANNED and everything gets marvelously fantastically wonderful for you here with the others. SO YES. |D; ♥

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

I hope so too! DX Thank you. ♥ *huuuuuuuuuuugs back*

[subversive.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, bb. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

[moral-liberty.livejournal.com]

I'll miss Yousuke a lot and you did an awesome job with him and the others, but don't feel bad! ♥ I hope everything works out for you, and I already told you I want yo go bug your other characters sometime. I really enjoyed threading with Yousuke.

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

aslkdjsdklh that icon. ;3;

Yes, I definitely want to thread with you again. T_T It will happen!

[moral-liberty.livejournal.com]

I have a whole bunch of kissing icons now that I will probably never use in-character BUT THEY'RE SO PRETTY. ;;;

YAY! ;O;

[ryuuzaki]

"Robin" will be missed!

But LESS Lauren is far preferable to NO Lauren. ♥
(and RP is meant to be fun, not hair-greying! so this the right thing.)

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to leave L on his own. T_T But a DN cast consisting of just L is better than one consisting of just Matt.

♥

[bleakwinters.livejournal.com]

Your Matt was a beacon of excellence and always a pleasure to read. I will miss him, but I am so glad you're still sticking around <3

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

Hnngh. T_T It hurts to drop him. I'm sorry. But thank you. ♥

[strayfag]

*hugs* Gotta do what you've gotta do. I'm glad you're still here. :< ♥ x million

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* ♥

[longlivetheking]

Awwww they will be missed. ;__; But you gotta do what you've gotta do, and at least you're still around. <3

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

<3

[doneinthree]

*HUGS* Aw Lauren, I'm sorry you had to do this, but I echo the people who are still really glad you're staying. :< ♥

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

*hugs back* Thank you. ;_;

[fureya01.livejournal.com]

*give giant hug* Damned will miss them all, including their video-game-geek-Matt. Glad that you're still staying =)

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

*returns the giant hug*

[callie-chan.livejournal.com]

Awww. :< I'm sorry, bb; not necessarily for the characters themselves so much, because honestly I didn't follow them except for Matt, and he just sort of made me happy by existing rather than my having the time to actually read his threads, but because you had to drop them and I know how much that must suck for you to have to do. .__. I know a lot of people will miss them, but your sanity is the important thing. ♥

And Sai and Leon are still around! I admit a lot of selfish relief that Leon is one of the ones who's still sticking around~

[laverinth.livejournal.com]

I SEE THAT I AM UNINTERESTING TO YOU. lol, no I'm kidding. I can't follow everyone either.

*hugs* Thank you. And I'm glad there are people that like Leon. T_T
