Drop!

[namelesshero]

Hey everyone, I've been pretty quiet as of late. But this is Clandon with Archer of Fate/Extra here. I'm afraid the time has come that I rip off the bandaid, cause I imagine I wouldn't make it past AC anyway. XD I'll be dropping from Route.

But! I'd like to start by taking my hat off to the moderator team here at Route!

To make a long story short, for a good three months (starting in October going into December) I'd been working with a lot of RL situations, with my Mom in the hospital and all after a surgery and fighting a potentially crippling infection. I worked hard and managed my home as best as I could while she was gone and I'd be visiting her. When I went on hiatus or took longer or came back from hiatus only to not do anything, I thought I would be getting the boot. But the moderator team excluded me from any of the AC lists. That gesture along with having my Mom home for Christmas was one of the kindest gestures I'd ever seen and I still think you guys are all absolutely amazing for that.

I love you guys, and it meant a lot to have considered that for me when I never even asked for it in the first place. So really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for being so considerate of me.

I'd love to come back to this place when I have the time to be more active! If you'll have me again in the future.

It's been nice playing with you guys when I was here!

Avalon the Luxray (originally belonging to Saber) will go to Lancer if he wants it, otherwise it will return to the wild. Same goes for "Lancer" the Scyther.

Archer's Ditto, Riolu, Piplup, Trubbish, Shiny Haxorus, Pidgeotto, Hoothoot, Vanillite, Growlithe and Krabby will all be taken to Foster Care.

Thanks for everything. You've been a fantastic group of people to play with. I just hope I can do better next time if I ever come back. ♥

Take care!

Well, that's one subject line I never expected to write.

It probably comes as no surprise at this point, given my activity (or lack thereof) in the past few months, but as much as it pains me to do this, it's better to rip off the band-aid. Long story short, I've encountered loads of RL issues that I need to face and it's come to a point where I really need to cut down on the RP obligations─ and sadly, seeing as Route is the game I'm struggling with the most at the moment, it's time for me to go.

I've been in this game since it opened, watching it grow, move, evolve (see what I did there?) and I can say with all honesty that I love it from the bottom of my heart. I've met lots of amazing people here, made friends I can't imagine my life without now, had so much fun it's hard to believe all of it could be because of a simple journal roleplay. Three years and a half is a long time, and while there are many things I would've changed about it if I could, playing in this game is not one of them. All of you Route players, past and present, are a wonderful, friendly bunch and it's been a great honor for me to be able to call myself one of you. I won't exaggerate if I say this game has provided me with the best experiences I've had in my entire RP career, and I will miss it more than words can express it.

Crow will be leaving a few Pokémon and things to a few people, which is as follows:

Heather Mason: Hurricane the Tornado (Pidgeot), Calima the Shimmer (Murkrow), his Duel Disk, a letter
Harry Mason: a letter
Ren Jinguji: Oroshi the Squall (Chatot), a book (you know the one), a letter

The rest of his team will be going to Foster Home soon, since if all works out, I'd like to come back once RL settles down a little, but until then, both Crow and I are out. So, without further ado,

Thank you for having me! Take care, Route, and see you! I'm sure we'll meet again.
