+ 1 Drop - 1 Slowatus = ?

[will_to_burn]

So after debating long and hard and going back and forth with myself about this near constantly over a considerable period of time, I've decided to drop Hikaru here. Summarily, and to spare you the list of items I drew up during deliberations, I lack the drive to play her in this setting any longer. That said, I'll be retiring her from the game with a sincere apology to both previous and new CR as I'd thought to avoid putting anyone's character through the grinder. Things just haven't worked out the way I'd have liked with her and again, I apologize for any inconvenience that may cause and would like to thank everyone who gave us a chance and threaded with her.

Hikaru's Pokemon and items will be vanishing into the aether. You won't be getting rid of me so easily, though! I'll be sticking around forever and a few days with Valeria as we are riiiight at home here. Consider this a heads up that I'm tentatively coming off slowatus as well, life willing.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding.

Joining the drop train here, I'm sending Rikku home. She's been a near constant muse for almost five years and she's getting tired. As she's my only muse, I will be dropping the game as well.

Her Pokémon go to the following people:

Marble: Cheria
Fahrenheit: Vanitas
Bibbo: Ironhide
Vena: Laguna
Senyka Memo: Laguna
Blitz: Cheria
Cinbneca: Cliffjumper
Gagazet: Vanitas
Tyotnays: Cliffjumper
Dino and Tanta: Demyx (they were Lea's)
Moogle: Cecil
Ronso: Cecil
Transformer: Cliffjumper

Their info is here though the last few entries obviously haven't been updated in a while. The two who aren't assigned, Maqui and Caycuh, can go to anyone or the wild. Feel free to have the ones who can evolve if you'd like.

IDK the code for the drops but it'll be there on the next junk dates

Piper isn't clicking here like I originally thought that she would, so I'm gonna cut this short, free up a spot, and send her home instead of dragging it out. Her starter will be disappearing with her, in the event anything changes in the future (maybe after House of Hades comes out this fall, I don't know), but the rest of her roster is up for grabs to whoever.

Hi all,

This won't be new information for anyone on my plurk, but the stress from my job has been ramping up much harder than usual, lately, and burning me out. For those of you unfamiliar with how it operates, I spend every second week out in the middle of nowhere, doing 12 hr shifts in an uncommon timezone with no DW access, so even on quiet weeks I'm hideously slow for half the month. At present I'm spending longer and longer out here as my role expands, and those of you tagging with me would have probably noticed that I've been terribly sporadic.

On top of that, I'm heading overseas for most of April, and after my hiatus through February I just couldn't seem to get momentum back up for Route. I'm really sorry for all those I'm tagging with at present, but you deserve someone who can actually be around and keep up with threads.

tl;dr RL is insanely busy at the moment and I just don't have time to play in a game at present. I've known for a while that dropping would be a wise decision but I just didn't want to leave; I suppose it's time to 'rip off the bandaid', as they say.

I've been in Route since January 2012 and I've loved my time here; I've made some great friends and my characters have had some wonderful CR. I'll miss all of you guys! Here are the rosters for my four characters; I'd prefer that they went to CR only at this point. Pokemon in brackets are those I'd rather keep; just in case I'm able to come back (which definitely isn't out of the question!)

Emmy Altava (except Machi and Abbie; Sparks the Beedrill is to go to Crow Hogan, Ralto the Gallade to Flora Reinhart)
Alex Louis Armstrong (except Ben and Stein; Kreiger the Machamp is to go to Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald)
Dr Kato (except Ranpu and Pluto; Newton the Steelix is to go to Dist)
Page (except Harper and Jane; Mary the Ursaring is to go to Carmen Sandiego)

I'm sure we'll play together again some time, guys; you might see me around memes, and I'm always up for museboxing! For now, however - take care!
