This is... wow, I don't even know what to say anymore. I'm back from my unexpected hiatus (some jackass vandalized the cable box outside the complex) but coming back and seeing my inbox made me come to a realization that I'd been trying to avoid.

Honestly, the game's starting to wear on me. I've been here over three years and don't want to drop completely because I love everyone so much, (that's what gets me in this sort of trouble in the first place) but I'm going to have to cut back even more than I have if I want to continue to have fun here. I know people aren't going to be pleased at all with what I'm about to do, and I'm incredibly sorry like you have no idea, but... I just have to do this.

I'm going to keep their dayshift appointments, but before nightshift I'm going to be dropping both notthistrain and justthedealer.

tsunagari and heraldric will remain for now.

I'm so, so sorry about this you guys. I'm not apping anyone this next round and I plan to keep my number of characters very low so this doesn't happen again. (I know I've said this before, but I'm knocking it down even lower now.) I'm especially sorry to Logan-mun and the other characters in the Marvel cast, because I was really looking forward to playing with you more, but it's just been like wading through mud trying to do tags lately and I can't keep that up. I figure it's better to let him go now before he gets too involved. And to those of you in the FF7 cast... I hope your sheer awesomeness will draw in another Cloud. ;;

I'm forever sorry,
Lauren
