Drop.

[explosivecombat]

While the announcement is sudden, this likely doesn't come as much of a surprise to anyone, given how abysmal my activity has been lately and how many difficulties I've had with keeping up threads, but I'm going to have to drop from the game at this time.

Route has been my home game for almost a year and a half now, and this is incredibly hard for me to do without crying inelegantly like some sort of blubbering idiot, but I'll try to spare you as much tl;dr as I can (though those of you who know me also know that that isn't my usual style at all, because I do love my tl;dr) - a lot of things have been thrown at me IRL, and I don't have the time or the mental faculties to play and to give this place the time it deserves.

For those who are interested in rosters, I would prefer that the Pokémon go to CR first, but it's pretty much anyone's call, really. The rosters are as follows:

Kimblee (with the exceptions of Carlisle and Dorian)
Descole
Reaver
Tokiomi

Most of these guys have veritable menageries! Go ahead and claim multiple, if you like.

I'm likely not gone forever; I'm aiming to be back with at least one character in the summer. But however long it takes and whatever happens between then and now, I'll be missing you guys - both the CR I've had and those I hadn't gotten to play with yet. This game is seriously the most welcoming one I've ever been in; thanks for making the last year and a half completely awesome. ♥

GONNA MISS YOU

[explosivecombat]

I'm going to miss you too! Thank you for all the threads and CR we've had (and for basically friending GLaDOS so hard it was insane, that was some excellent bromance there); I'll definitely still see you around.

[itsjustdust]

What can I say? GLaDOS was like, exactly his type for that kinda thing.

[doitrockapella]

FUCK, YET AGAIN I FIND MYSELF USING THIS ICON

So I expect that I'll probably be a lot more verbose about this on Plurk as opposed to here because it'll be a conversation in realtime, but...just, holy shit, Dal. I don't think I have the words for how much of a pleasure it's been to play off of you all this time, and how much I'm going to miss having you around Route. My interactions were largely with Kimblee and Reaver, but I definitely stalked all of your characters, and I'm going to miss them all something fierce. You've always been a joy to play with and I hope things turn around for you IRL soon, not just because it means you might come back to us in the future, but because you deserve nothing but the best and I'll be sending you all my good thoughts for the duration.

Thanks for being amazing, Dal, and for being my friend in all the time I've had to get to know you over the past year and a half. That means the world to me.





also on a less srs note I am obviously dibsing members of their rosters for the sake of nostalgia, fight me

[explosivecombat]

Thank you so much; getting to know you all has been completely amazing, and you are definitely no exception to that. Both our IC and OOC interactions have meant so much to me over the last eighteen months; I appreciate the sentiments and the well-wishes, and you had better believe I am going to keep in contact with you. :|



yes good please dibs them because good lord almighty

[doitrockapella]

So I'mma do this in verse
For the sake of old times
And because of your penchant
For threads bustin' the rhymes

You are downright fantastic
You'll surely be missed
And if I have but even
One cause to be pissed

On account of this drop post
It is just to lament
That the good times we shared
And the days that we spent

Tagging all up like losers
Were too few! Far too few!
And you know we were lucky
To have someone like you

Here with us in this game.
I will miss you like burning,
And the time that you're gone
I will sure spend it yearning

For the day you return,
May it come someday fast,
But for now, in the meantime,
I'll just think on the past

And the good times we shared;
These are memories dear,
And so long as I hold them,
It's like you'll still be here,

And you will, now and always—
Since for you, there's a part
I've reserved special for you
In my shriveled black heart. ♥

So let's not say goodbye
At the close of this rhyme;
Let's just stick with, "Take care,
And I'll see you next crime."

[usedwrench]

I'LL MISS YOU! Forever my favorite Kimblee, and you're amazing - can't believe I was freaking scared when you apped into the game. New people always scare me and scary muse doesn't help it, so don't think it's anything else! I thin I've told this to you on a plurk meme or something, but it was long ago. And I'm so sorry I haven't done much into your direction with this girl or any others, I've just been stalking like crazy. Take care, okay~?

[explosivecombat]

Ah, don't apologize, Nea! I've really enjoyed the time I spent here, it's really meant a lot to me, and I'm really going to miss playing with all of you!

And thank you for the compliments - I'm really intimidated by everyone too, actually, so I'm particularly grateful to you guys in the FMA cast for making me feel welcome in the game so quickly. ♥ You take care too, okay?

[exeggutorhead]

I'm going to miss playing with you, and it was an absolute joy to have you in the game. I stalked all your characters even if Envy only had CR with Kimblee (and I really, really enjoyed their CR), and it's just been really great all around. I hope your IRL situation works out well for you! I can also have Envy take Ramsay, if that's alright.

[explosivecombat]

Envy's more than welcome to Ramsay! Take care of him and be sure to raise hell in Kimblee's absence, okay?

I said this above, but I want to say it to you directly as well - I am so grateful to the FMA cast in particular for making me feel so welcome when I first joined the game. It's really meant a lot to me, and I've loved building CR with all of you. I hope to come back eventually, but for the time being you guys take care and have fun, all right?

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I’m going to really miss playing with you. Your characters were wonderful, and every interaction with them was absolutely fantastic. OOCly, you’ve been amazing to plot with and talk to as well. Take care, and I hope your IRL situation improves soon.

Also is there any chance Cobra could please get Abdiel and Aya from Kimblee if those aren’t claimed yet?

[explosivecombat]

Oh my god. Some of my favorite CR has been with Cobra, ngl, and I apologize for not being able to bring our full plans to fruition; however, if I can manage to come back in the summer I'd definitely love to pick up more CR with you! I'm going to miss playing with you so much - don't be a stranger, though, okay?

And our future Cobra overlord didn't take at least one of Kimblee's sentient bombs, he would almost be disappointed. You can have all the bombs you want, man, believe me, and he would be pleased that Abdiel is going out to someone - Archer gave him that thing, so it seems fitting that she's going to the third member of the Unholy Trinity!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

In that case, could Cobra get Nelson too? He needs more things that explode, and hey, giving him exploding ice cream totally wouldn't cause a huge disaster at some point.

And don't worry about. I'd love to get more CR with you if you come back.

[explosivecombat]

...oh my god, Cobra, you go forth and cause all the disaster with your exploding ice-cream. This can't possibly end badly; I am laughing so hard right now you have no idea.

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Hey, he tried to explode water once, exploding ice cream's not that much a stretch for him.

And it will be wonderful once he finds a use for it.

[explosivecombat]

Well, when it comes to exploding water...one word, Cobra.

Sodium.

[anabottleofcola]

What a shame! I admit unfamiliarity with most of your characters, but your Reaver was fantastic, and I did enjoy seeing the others around with the roles they'd made for themselves!

I am sorry that I didn't play either of my characters off of yours more, but anyhow, best t'you and here's to hoping you'll come back sometime.

Also, I apologize if this is out of nowhere and understand if the answer is know, but could Bobbery take Lady Elizabeth the Bouncing Whale under his figurative wing, if she isn't already going somewhere?

[explosivecombat]

Ah, unfortunately Lady Elizabeth is spoken for! But most of the others are still up.

Thank you so much for the compliments; they're greatly appreciated and they mean a lot to me! If I manage to come back sometime soon, I'd love to build more CR with you; until then, take care, okay?

[anabottleofcola]

So would I - and likewise, all the way!

[sweettalker]

I'm gonna miss seeing you around, Dal. :( I've only been familiar with Kimblee, but you've been an absolutely flawless one at that. I wish I'd gotten more CR in when I had the chance, but if you come back I'll definitely be trying to rectify that!

Wishing you the best with IRL endeavors, take care!

[explosivecombat]

Thank you so much, and you take care too, okay? I'll see you around, and I'd love to have more CR with you in the future! I likely won't be gone forever, haha - this place is like that.

[soggypastry]

asdhajkgdhaj may not be a surprise but still! Daaaaallll! ;; we're gonna miss you!

I can't speak for your other characters since I didn't have the pleasure of playing off them, but you were an awesome Kimblee. Lightning may have wanted to shove him off a ledge, but I certainly didn't. Don't forget how awesome you are as a person, either, okay? Because you are, and you were an absolute pleasure to plot with, too.

We'll still be here if/when you come back, and I swear you'll get dogpiled. You take care of yourself now!

[explosivecombat]

I'm going to miss you all too! I'm going to try to come back as soon as I can, and I will look forward to the dogpiling in...all ways possible - Lightning, you will get your chance to kick Kimblee in the back one day and punt him off a ledge, I promise.

You are likewise incredibly awesome, and it was a total joy getting to plot with you; you take care, and I'll see you around. ♥

[saxsongs]

When the news of you dropping were posted last night, I wasn't in any shape to comment about it - so I thought I'd write at least something belatedly.

It has been a pleasure rp:ing with you. While we didn't have many threads and our CR was quite little - I enjoyed every thread I had with you. Your Kimblee is wonderful and you should feel proud. Heck, I didn't even like him in canon, but your Kimblee was a pleasure to watch.

I also enjoyed stalking your other characters, even if I was never able to comment to any of them. I was pleased to tag with Descole, even though I'm canonblind. He was an interesting character. Thank you for the opportunity.

Please take care of yourself and I hope we'll see each other in rp's again ♥

[explosivecombat]

Hey, don't worry about it; I haven't been in much shape to be doing much myself, and I appreciate your taking the time to reply, it means a lot to me, as do the compliments. I'm really glad that you enjoyed what we were able to do, and I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the other characters I played, even if you weren't familiar with them!

You take care as well, as I know it's been a bit of a time for you too lately; don't be a stranger, okay? Hopefully we'll see each other around. ♥

[ortion]

I've been trying to come up with a response since I saw your plurk last night and I still don't have anything. orz I'm just really going to miss playing with you and stalking your characters. It was you, Redd, Typhie, and all the other wonderful Rocket players that got me excited about apping a new Rocket myself, which eventually became two. I loved watching all the sneaky plots unfold, all the deception going on, and...whatever it is Reaver does but it was beautiful. It's safe to say that you're going to be very missed and equally unforgotten. I'm glad I got to know you OOC as well because you're really cool. ♥

I really hope things get better for you IRL. Take care, okay?

[explosivecombat]

...don't be silly, this was wonderful. I really appreciate all of this; it means a lot to me that you enjoyed it so much, and I'm glad you enjoyed all the...everything, including whatever it is that Reaver does, haha. I'm going to miss playing with you a lot; don't be a stranger OOCly, okay, and I'll do what I can to come back someday!

It's been awesome; you take care as well!

[dressofheaven]

To say that I'm saddened that Ilya and Kimblee didn't get more of a chance to interact is a pretty big understatement. They played off each other so preciously. And Reaver's interactions with her were hilarious too, she thought he was great.

I'd like her to pick up Nagara to remember him by, if you're cool with that.

[explosivecombat]

Oh, I agree entirely; their interactions were amazing, and I loved her discussion with Reaver as well. I'm definitely not saying I'll be gone forever, though (it's going to be pretty hard to keep me away from this place, in fact!) and I'd love to have more CR with you whenever I manage to come back.

As for Nagara, that would be great, actually, as I was hoping someone would take her - she's all Ilya's!

[dressofheaven]

Excellent! She'll hold onto her for him until he comes back and use her as transportation in the meantime, then. All aboard the giant steel snake train!

And I'll be waiting to see you again, but make sure you take care of your IRL responsibilities first, alright? /lecture
