Drop

[snapandscoot]

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!

I've gotta admit that Dr. Kato made Ren's life as a Rocket quite interesting. It was fun to interact with him, since they did and didn't get along and it amused me quite a bit; I was smiling at their threads quite often. So thank you for all the threads.

Needless to say that I will miss tagging him. I will also miss seeing Armstrong around. He was really amazing and fun to watch.

Please take care of yourself and I hope we'll see again ♥

[snapandscoot]

Thank you very much for your lovely comment! :3 Ren and Kato always did crack me up, they were so silly - if he'd like to take any of Kato's pokemon, he is welcome to them!

[saxsongs]

Well, Ren still doesn't have a ghost- so maybe the Gengar?

[snapandscoot]

Kai is all his! o/

[usedwrench]

I'm sad to see you go, and I'll miss seeing your muses around, they were fun to tag with and fun to stalk. Take care of yourself, okay? Don't let work burn you out! ;;;

Does Winry have enough CR to get Hohenheim! the Pidgeotto from Armstrong?

[snapandscoot]

I WILL DO MY BEST SOB

And of course she does! He's all hers :3

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I’m really going to miss having Cobra interact with Kato and seeing all of your characters around. Best of luck with your work situation, and I hope you’re able to come back someday!

Also, could Cobra get Helia and Barb from Kato? I promise he’ll put them to good use doing…well something I’m sure that won’t involve horrible misuse of Explosion and Selfdestruct.

[snapandscoot]

I am hoping so; I'll see how things are in a few months :> Cobra is welcome to those two - raise havoc!!!

[cobraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Thanks and he will! He'll be sure to find something to do with them that Kato would approve of.

[gracefall]

I only got to thread with you once but it was loads of fun and I'm sad to see you go :< Xiaoqiao will miss the wonderful sparkling gentleman!

[snapandscoot]

Ngl, I really enjoyed Armstrong's thread with Xiaoqiao - they got on so well! Would she like one of his Pokemon?

[gracefall]

If you ever bring him back I would love to see them play again, she needs to see more awesome flexing! And she would be happy to watch over one of his pokemon if there's one that you think would enjoy a hyperactive and intense trainer since I'm not familiar with any of them specifically :>

[snapandscoot]

Ooh, I don't know if she's a fan of dragons but Zahna the Garchomp would probably be perfect; she lives for training! :>

[gracefall]

She would happily take care of the enthusiastic Garchomp!

[ortion]

I really hope things start looking up for you on the work front, Typhie. Good luck with it all!

It was so much fun playing with you; Kato and Dist being silly scientists together was one of my favorite things. No doubt Dist will miss him sorely, and he'll take good care of Newton.

Again, good luck with work and I hope to play with you again sometime. c:

[snapandscoot]

Dist and Kato being the prettiest princesses in TR was always utterly fantastic; I will miss that sfm. But either way, we must keep playing together, Seto!!

[togetherforever]

I'm glad Armstrong and Mayu got to thread once before you had to go man. I hope everything works out for you.

I don't really know the status on Seldi at the moment but would it be alright if Mayu receives her?

[snapandscoot]

Oh Mayu, you are brave!! She is all yours :3

[brokenmemories]

Is there anything she needs to look out for? :0

[snapandscoot]

She's got a Rocket Microchip implanted, so her true loyalty is to Team Rocket; after that, it's pretty much a free-for-all! :>

[begetsvengeance]

While I do hate to mimic someone else, I must say that I'm very happy I was able to thread with your wonderful Armstrong at least once. Even before I joined the game I used to read his threads and believe me when I say they were all pretty great.

Anyway, good luck with everything and I wish you nothing but the best!

[snapandscoot]

Aw, ty bb! It makes me really happy to hear you enjoyed him; he was really fun to play! If Jeane would like to take one of his Pokemon on, I'd recommend Berli the Lucario; he's a foul-mouthed thing but he lives for fighting and would be rather loyal.

I hope you continue to enjoy Route, it's a great place! o/

[ragnarok_strike]

Typhie :(
I don't think we played together, but it was nice that there was an Emmy around.

Anyway, I hope life is good t'you.

[snapandscoot]

Anyone who is a fan of Emmy is a friend of mine! :> Same to you, bb!

[lieutenantantichrist]

I'm sorry to see you go. Your Armstrong has so much personality that he immediately...well...sparkles. But hey, just one instance of getting to see Armstrong sumo wrestle a mammoth has made my forever.

[snapandscoot]

Ahhh ty so much, that's such a nice thing to say! :> I really did enjoy playing him even if he could get a little tiring at times! No insane stampeding mammothbeast can stand up to his muscles!!

[ex_cashcow493]

I'll miss having you here, but hopefully can keep up with you out of game. <3 I'm not sure who would be a good fit from Armstrong's team to go to Saber, so if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

As always if you want me to put your extras into the Foster Home, let me know <3

[snapandscoot]

Yes of course, Kattu! We're still linked on Plurk, after all :> when it comes to Saber, I think Tena the Scizor would be good for her - she was basically Armstrong's insanely loyal bodyguard, so she'd probably work well for the King of Knights over there!

Ah, of course - I will have a think about it!

[doitrockapella]

Typhieeeeeee. WE WILL ALWAYS HAVE CHARMSTRONG IN MY HEART, BB. THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DREAMS COME TRUE and letting Carmen drop him like a sack of potatoes because they were amazing and you are amazing and WE DID AMAAAAAAAZING THINGS, etc.

And of course Carmen will take good care of Mary the Ursaring and think fondly on Page. GO HOME AND KICK ALL THE ASS, WOMAN. ...and say hi to Reaver because Carmen will never be convinced otherwise that he is a fun and happening dude. >>

I wish I'd had the chance to throw Parker at Kato around the Rocket Base somehow, too. Would it be all right with you if she adopted his Numel, if it's not spoken for already?

[snapandscoot]

>a fun and happening dude
>Reaver



But seriously, we had some amazing CR, Alex! CHARMSTRONG FOREVER, THEY WILL NEVER DIE AND CARMEN WILL FOREVER TOP THE HELL OUT OF HIM

And Parker is quite welcome to Kato's Numel, yes :>
