And with a heavy heart...
After quite a bit of waffling, worrying, and otherwise dragging this out for a lot longer than is necessary, I've decided that it's time I drop Ema here from Damned. Seeing as she's my only character here, that means I'm dropping as well.
As much as I hate to do this, it feels like the right decision. Basically, it's an issue of having too much on my plate and something having to give. Pretty much every time, Damned is the thing that gets set aside--my activity has been sporadic and slow, marked by long hiatuses and an inability to get things done in a timely manner even when I have spurts of active involvement. And, really, this has been going on for awhile. At this point, I feel like trying to ride things out is just prolonging the inevitable and, worse, amounts to character squatting.
You know how it feels when you're breaking up with someone, not because of anything catastrophic or extremely terrible but because things are just different from when you first got together? Like, there's nothing wrong with you or with the other person, it just didn't work out and you've decided it's better to part ways here? 'So long and thanks for the memories, I'll always think fondly of you' and all of that?
That's how I feel right now. I'm sad to let this game go, but I feel it's time to.
I don't have the heart to kill Ema off, and as much as I'd like to give out final shifts so people can say goodbye I know I'll likely drop the ball on them. As such, Ema's going to sleep through this Nightshift and be gone by morning. She has a few things in her possession that are open for the taking:
- a reusable shopping bag from the grocery store, decorated with a couple of cute pins
- a garden spade
- a box of chemicals taken from Chemical Storage upstairs
- a copy of her patient file (assuming it doesn't disappear after her departure?)
Finally, thanks to all of the people who have tagged with me/Ema over the past couple of years. Thanks to the most amazing castmates a girl could ask for. Thanks to everyone for making Damned what it is. I just hope I managed to measure up to what all of you are. I really did love being here, and I'll keep stalking you all from the sidelines when I have the time to.
Keep on being awesome. ♥ I'll miss you all.

Ema was always so fun and cute to play with! I regret never getting a chance to thread out a catfight between her and Gant, but maybe we could play in memes again someday? Or I should look into other games you play in~ :3c Because I can't get enough of you, bb! <3
For the things Ema does not find homes for, Aigis will always hold onto momentos in case she returns. :3 Which may never happen, but Aigis is always hopeful! So yeah, if you don't manage to find others to give her things to, Aigis will take 'em!
